It was a coincidence that this giveaway opportunity from You Can Make This for you all was presented to me. I’ve been on a sewing kick, I was on a knitting kick, but really that all belongs in another post. What’s cool though is that you can make some pretty killer gifts for your loved ones all on your own! In the long run that can sometimes save you money, actually I’m sure it does every time unless your me. (I have a problem with buying cute fabric that I haven’t figured out what to make with it yet…) Besides that, there is nothing more precious to me than the gifts I have received that are handmade. You know how much love, work and effort was put into it.

You can find a free download for some really cute Gift Tags to add to those hand made or not hand made gifts this year. Each of these tags coordinates with ideas found as part of the DIY Gift Giving Series videos that can be found at the You Can Make This Blog , as well as designs and patterns found at Swak Embroidery and You Can Make This.

Before we get on to the giveaway offered here I want to mention that you also have the chance to win hundreds of dollars worth of gift certificates just for watching the videos that are a party of the DIY Gift Giving series and then in return answering a question on their Blog.

This Giveaway is sponsored by You Can Make This. The words however, remain my own.

You know, I don’t know about you, but I’ve tried to buy a different brand of crayon or been gifted a different brand of crayon and they’re just never the same. I came to the conclusion, even before having children, that no other brand is cut out to do the job except Crayola. The other brands are either too waxy or not just the right color or break easy, you name it.

Crayola has now launched Lights, Camera, Color – and application available on Crayola.com where your child can upload their favorite pictures, turn them into coloring pages and color them in! See:

My son who is 5 is a coloring fanatic. This is somewhat new, up until the last year or so he could care less if kept crayons or pencils in the house, he preferred painting. Lots and lots of finger painting. Don’t get me wrong, I encourage my child’s creativity, but crayons are so much easier to clean up! He was beyond thrilled to come home from school and find the Crayola Crayon Tower sitting on the dining room table. We went right to work on uploading and printing our picture. This was easy enough that with a little direction my 5 year old could accomplish the uploading and printing while I finished loading the dishwasher nearby.

Crayola is including on specially marked crayon boxes a code that allows you unlimited prints for 6 months. You can find the codes on these boxes: 48, 64, 96, 120-ct. as well as the 150-ct. Crayon Tower. I also have a special one day pass code to share with as well PRT77F3S to give it a try before you buy.

That’s not all though, Crayola is also offering a Through Hazel Eyes reader their very own Crayola Crayon Tower!
