Springtime Giveaway Carnival: Books by Rae Grant!!


Yesterday, these fab books arrived by post!!  

If you frequent The Crafty Crow as much as I, you may recognize them from a recent giveaway.  If you, like I, were not the blissful recipient of that partic giveaway, take heart!  Rae Grant, the author of these two li'l lovelies, offered to give two more away this very week, during the Springtime Giveaway Carnival, hosted by Heavenly Homemakers.

Can I get a "Whoot! Whoot?!"




Cooking Fun is an all-around fab first cookbook and keepsake for any child.  The recipes are simple and classic American goodness, serving up everything from Grandma's kitchen, starting with beverages right down to simple suppers, including--of course--desserts!!  My own daughter fell in love with this book at first sight, and I don't think I'll get another peek inside of it for quite some time.  So, if you happen to be the fortunate winner of this one, be sure to beat your kids to the post!!  In other words, put your tennies on n o w.




Crafting Fun is chock-full of some of the most classic seasonal crafts for kids, like pumpkin-seed necklaces and crayoned wax leaves for fall and a summertime scrapbook of pressed flowers.  The instructions are easy-to-follow and most project use commonly found household items.  One of my faves?  Animal Track Casting!!  Oh, we cannot wait to put together our field bags and get started with this delightful project!!

To Enter:

1.  Visit Rae Grant's site, Crafting Fun for Kids, for more fab views of these books; then, leave me a comment.

2.  For a second chance to win, follow me.

3.  For a third chance to win, blog, tweet, or post about this giveaway on Facebook, and leave me the link in a comment.

4.  If you really have your game face on for these two and just gotta have another ticket in the bunch, Bag My Button and leave me a comment so I check out your blog, too!

Early in the morning on Monday, May 4, and using Random.org, I'll draw the blessed winner of these two fab books.  Have at it, y'all!!  

"Whoot! Whoot!"
