Lately my son has been spending quite a bit of his time scribbling at his toddler friendly art easel with wax crayons and too-short-pencil-stubs (left overs from sketching sprees). Maybe that means he will one day become an artist, like his mother, or maybe that just means he likes spending time in my studio because I'm in there too. Either way, it keeps him busy just long enough for me to catch up on my emails.
One recent email had an intriguing offer for my blog... a giveaway - just for my readers! And the kicker - I got to pick the prize! I wondered, do I give away something useful and beautiful like a Dutch oven (oh the ridiculously elegant meals I could attempt to create in one of those), or maybe something that might inspire other young children to be creative while giving their parents some time to themselves, like the Creativity Desk and Easel? Eureka!
Entering is so easy, you could even attempt to allow your toddler to do it for you. Leave a comment on this blog post before Friday, August 20th at 1pm MST. I'll contact the winner that day and we'll set up how to get this fabulous prize to you, even the shipping is free (*I'm so sorry but international readers - that is people not living in Canada and the USA will have to pay for their own shipping).
A great big thank you to CSN stores for sponsoring this fantastic giveaway.
That look sooo cool!! I think my son Ethan would love that :D He could unleash his creative force on that cutesy desk :))
Wow, what a great giveaway! Daniel would love it. Elaine
Woah. I would love this for my daughter Ciana. She even has primary colors in her room.
Isaac would love this! I thought I posted a comment earlier but I guess it didn't work? Count us in!! :)
As much as Eli and Naomi would love it I would probably use it the most ;)Too bad I missed the deadline! A great way to promote your site though. Well done and keep up the good work.
Mike - you didn't miss the deadline - it's just started! You all have until next friday. :)
Rachelle - not sure why your early comment didn't work? I'll check for issues. Thanks
Great idea Crystal! Cole would put this to good use (instead of colouring in his books)

Hunter would love this!! He decided to show me his excellent artistic skills the other day by drawing on the mirror in my living room with his red crayon!
I love that you picked the easel Crystal! What an awesome idea! If I'm lucky I can see both Ryan and Kyle getting a lot use use from it! Actually, me too... perhaps most of the time... I'm really entering for me, lol!
Good luck to all the other peeps, and thank you Crystal for making this fun!
Cheers!
The easel is so cute Crystal! I am hoping that Marcus' art genes rub off on our upcoming bundle of joy. I would love to see the two of them drawing side-by-side!
Hi Chrystal,
Your art is wonderful!! I hope someday you will teach me how to paint, LOL. Unfortunately Remi still thinks crayons are for eating. I hope someday he likes to colour as much as I do :-). I should have at least one artist in my family.
xoxoJolene
Great blog Crystal! Love your artwork and your photos. Great idea for a give-away!
Great giveaway!! My kids love to draw.
The Easel is very cute and my son would probably love it about Christmastime! :)

Payton loves to draw and color, whenever she sees a writing utensil she wants a piece of paper to draw. She lays on her stomach on the floor to color and i can tell she is concentrating on her picture. With an easel we could leave her drawing stuff out to draw when she feels the need.
p.s. I love your art
My three kids love to draw and colour - this little desk would look so cute in my art studio!
Natalie would love this...It could keep her busy while I am feeding the new one!
