Crafts Through the Year Giveaway from A Child's Dream

EDIT: This giveaway is now closed. The winner will be announced 1/28/2012. Thank you A Child's Dream and to everyone that entered :)

EDIT: Oops... failed to mentioned, awesome Debbie will ship overseas, so EVERYONE is invited to enter :)

I read all the time, but my favorite times to indulge in a good book are in the dead of winter, curled up by a blazing fire, or while off on summer vacation, near the water, without a care in the world. So... whether you are bundled up here in the northern hemisphere or lounging on a beach in the south hemisphere, this is the perfect time of year for a book giveaway!

Debbie, from A Child's Dream, was kind enough to donate, what has become one of my favorite crafting books. I was given Crafts Through the Year by Thomas and Petra Berger for Christmas. I have other books by them, and have found inspiration in them all. I especially love this book because it takes us through a whole year of crafting delight for you and the wee ones in your life.

The book is divided into seasons. There will undoubtedly be some crafts that you already are familiar with, but others that may be new and inspiring. Here are just a few of the projects you will be able to make.



Crafts Through the Year is a MUST have for anyone that has wee ones in their life or is influenced by the seasons, and wants to surround themselves with natural beauty. So... what do you need to do to enter? Simply wander around A Child's Dream and let us know what other books you'd like to add to your library. Make sure you look through all of the sections. There are books hither and yon throughout the shop. You won't want to miss looking at any of them!

The contest runs from today, Tuesday, January 24 through Friday, January 27 at 9:00 p.m. EST. Then, a name will be drawn at random. (The lucky winner has 1 week to contact us with a snail mail address or a new winner will be selected.)

In order to make everyone a winner, A Child's Dream is offering everyone a 10% discount on anything ordered from January 24 thru January 29. That's 2 days after the contest is over... in case you are feeling extra special lucky and want to see if you win before you place an order :) Simply type in WEEFOLK in the coupon code to save 10%.

Trust me when I tell you... you want, nay, NEED this book :) And Thank you so much, Debbie, for this wonderful giveaway. Good luck to one and all, now scurry over to A Child's Dream and check out their awesome books! (Oh, yes, be sure to look at all the other cool stuff in her shop, too :)

I'd love to win this book and the book that caught my eye from A Child's Dream is Homemade Fun which looks ideal for our Family Fun Nights where we often do different crafts together.
Hope this comment is in time - I've only just noticed that its open to overseas readers and I don't know what time EST is compared to what time it is here in the UK!

Toy making with Children to my library as well as this new one by Thomas and Petra. I've loved all of their other books. I have many things in my home that I've made from their books over the years. :)

I do love A Child's

Submitted by maxanyamom (not verified) on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 09:52.

I do love A Child's Dream...such a wonderful shop, but it is so hard to choose just one book I would like to have. Top choice would probably be Amanda Soule's new book, The Rhythm of Family. After that, I would probably choose one of the felting books, A Felt Farm or The Ashford Book of Needle Felting or Wool Pets. Honestly, very hard to choose!

I just bought Thomas Berger's Christmas craft book this year, and was tickled to see directions for making things that I have received as gifts over the years and have admired. I bet this book is also full of beautiful little crafts. Thanks for the chance to enter the giveaway.

This craft book looks beautiful, I love that it follows the season. Another book that would be great is toymaking with children, well, and also Handmade Home. Kids knitting would be fun, the boys have expressed an interest in knitting but I don't know where to start...
Thanks for introducing me to their site, I'll be spending more time browsing!

I'm thinking about purchasing the book "The Girl Who Never Let Her Mother Brush Her Hair" because this might help me with one of my students that I'm teaching right now, who is reluctant to learn. I also would like to make her a few of the crafts in the Crafts Through the Year book!

I already have many, many of these titles and subscribe to the delicious Living Crafts (yes Ma'am, I'm a book-a-holic).
But I do NOT yet own 'Crafts through Year'. From the photos I see that at some point I MUST (fingers crossed)
I am also new to the Reg Down titles, so they are my choice (Can I say All of them?) Tee hee.
Thank you once again!

That book looks so delightful - I am coveting it, to no end! I and my children have loved, loved, loved all of the Tiptoes books, and I would love to have the new Reg Down book to add to our collection. We have many of the books offered at A Child's Dream Come True already, but it doesn't stop me from desiring some fresh additions. Thank you for the give-away!
