belt giveaway *giveaway closed*
February 18th, 2010
Wow! There has been such an amazing response to the boy belt tutorial! I think there must be a lot of boys out there running around with their pants falling down–no more!
To thank you for all your kind words and links I thought I’d giveaway a few of the belts I made, because as you can see they are not keeping any pants up around here. The skinny plaid one and the wider wood grain belt are up for grabs (for a better picture look here). If you’d like to enter tell me a funny story about a little boy you know–a brother, a son, the crazy little boy down the street. There is always one who tried to fly from on top of the refrigerator or covered himself in crisco or skiied down the basement stairs. If you can’t think of a story, just tell me which one you’d like. And if you’d like to be entered twice you can subscribe to my blog (and tell me in your comment) or link to the belt tutorial on your blog or tweet it. Or all three if you’d like, but I’ll only love you more–just 2 entries max per person! I will pick two winners (pick a winner!) on Monday morning, February 22 CST. Good luck!
I follow your blog – love it, right to my inbox!!!
I’d LOVE that plaid one!!
My son is just over a year and keeps me laughing all the time. Lately he has been putting any toy he can into our mail slot. I sure hope our mailman gets a laugh out of it.
I’ve added you to my google reader as well. :) And I adore them both but I’d have to choose the plaid one.
Oh! So great! Thanks for the chance.
I follow too!!
Ah, love the belts! My boy is just getting old enough to wear real boy clothes, so I’m eyeing these!
funny stories…so many to think of! the funniest thing our four year old does now is dance around the room to oldies music and call it rock star music, his dancing looks the same has his “kung fu panda” moves though…pretty funny! i’d love a belt i am so excited!
I was taking pictures of my son in the backyard. I clicked the camera and got a great shot of him with a really cute ornery looking smile on his face. Soon I realized that he had stuck a tiny pinecone in his mouth…he smiled like that because he thought he was getting away with something!!
i subscribed!
A few months back my sons pants did fall down when a friend was over—unfortunately it got big laughs from everyone. For awhile after that it became his party trick—he tried it with everyone!!
I would love any belt!!!
A few years ago, when my cousin’s son was really small he was obsessed with the movie Toy Story. He had t-shirts, figurines, etc., etc. He also had a Woody doll that he carried with him everywhere. Apparently while they were out and about one day he lost it. He was so sad, they looked everywhere for that silly thing. Luckily, finally they found it. He had left it at the store where she worked, a local, small-town drug store. He was so ecstatic that he held up the doll throughout the entire store shouting, “LOOK EVERYBODY, I GOT MY WOODY BACK!!”
Love the belt tutorial. Thank you for sharing and for the great giveaway.
Oh I just love that plaid one! My little boy (18mo) loves to dress up and his favorite thing is to carry a purse around and talk on “his” cell phone. Not sure what this says about me as a role model…
And I just subscribed to your blog!
I know I have many funny stories about my kids, but for the life of me I can’t think of any at this momment! These belts are so cute and my son LOVES belts and would be so excited to have a new belt to wear!!
My little mans pants are always falling off! He was pre-mature so he is skinny but VERY tall like my husband. He is always running around and will try to pull up his pants and if he cant get them to stay up then he will just take them off!
I love the wood grain belt!
I subscribed, too. :)
I have toddler twin boys, they are quite slender and many of their pants fall down, anyways one boys was squatting one day playing and his little bum has sticking out, when he stood up his twin brother came over and pulled the back of his pants up for him and asked “is that ok?” Sooo sweet. We would love both blets because one just wont do!
so to win 2 belts I am entering 2 times so you get to hear another twin story.
I hear a big crash during nap time and went to see what happened, when I wlalked in to see the humidifier crushed on the floor and water everywhere they both said “ya ya did it” ya ya is their term of endeament for one another.
On the first day of school years ago, my grandmother nearly dropped her teeth when she saw my uncle (her son) come out of the washroom. He had cut up all his new school clothes and died himself green with food coloring, jello in the bathtub touched up with marker. He was the incredible Craig!
My funny stories right now are actually more sweetness than wackiness. We’re expecting boy #4 in a couple weeks. My oldest (5) has been trying to be a big helper and he says to me, “mamma, it’s going to be a lot of work for me to take care of my brothers (3 y/o twin crazies) and the baby, right? but, i really can’t change the diapers.” my response: “well how about i change the diapers, and you take care of the rest.” “ok,” he says. sweet pea.
and either would work for me… and already a subscriber. thanks!
I don’t really have a funny story, but I just wanted to share about my sweet little Owen. He is almost 4 and has a vivid imagination that he expresses through building things. He has Lincoln Logs, Duplo Legos, even some “tiny” legos (as we call them), and classic wooden blocks. He is incredible at looking at something and then building it out of Legos – somewhat akin to finding just the right piece to a puzzle. Today while I was sewing a 90 minute shirt from the MADE blog, he quickly built a sewing machine from his duplos and brought it over to the table to “sew with mom.” My heart about melted on the spot.
Boys are a blast… but alas mine are tall and skinny and could certainly use an adorably fashionable belt to keep their britches from peeking out ;).
finn, my four year old said this when he was about 3 1/2:
“i won’t eat my dinner!!”
we ask why?
“because it’s genetically modified!”
Looove the plaid one!
When we were tiny my brother picked up a giant potato bug and ate half of it. My mom scraped the rest out of his mouth. She couldn’t kiss him for a month after that!!
Terrific belt!
My 3 year old won’t keep his pants up and refuses to wear underwear..uh oh. Help…we need a belt!
One day when my dad was a little boy, about 3 or 4 years old, my grandma couldn’t find him anywhere. Soon after she had made this discovery and was beginning to panic she got a phone call. It was the lady who owned the soda fountain down the street a few blocks saying that my dad had just climbed up on a stool and ordered an ice cream soda…
