I know this is a long post, but keep reading—you might just be a winner!
I have loved Klutz books since Klutz started selling books and kits. The Friendship bracelet kit would have been a bargain at twice the price. Then there was the hair-wrapping book and kit—endless hours of fun. Irreverence has always been a big part of the Klutz m.o. and this giveaway is a perfect case in point.
Chock full of fun, foolish and frivolous activities as well as some pretty practical ones—who doesn’t want to make a paper airplane that flies forever or learn to do some low-cost video special effects? Though don’t blame me when your kids give you a heart attack after you discover a realistic looking fake hot-chocolate spill on your keyboard.
Three (3) lucky winners will receive:
- the new release Encyclopedia of Immaturity VOL 2
- and Encyclopedia of Immaturity VOL 1
Leave me a comment telling me your how you’re immature (yes, even at your age!) and I’ll pick a winner next Wednesday—you should have the book in time for holiday shenanigans!
Now this isn’t a giveaway, but I know a lot of my readers have children the perfect age for this contest, so I wanted to pass this information on to you.
ABOUT THE CONTEST
Winter the Dolphin has been an inspiration and hero for children and adults alike. When Winter was just three months old, she was rescued from a crap trap which had seriously damaged her tail. It wasn't clear that she would survive but she did. However, the damage to Winter's tail was so extensive that it fell off. To everyone's amazement, a prosthetic company stepped in an fitted Winter with a prosthetic tail. Now Winter is using her new tail and thriving.

My favorite is I Can't Help Falling In Love With You by Elvis. We danced to this at our wedding.
The singer who did our reception was an Elvis impersonator, although he didn't wear the costume at the wedding! So it sounded like Elvis was really singing to us!

I rather like Michael's latest single - it gets a lot of airplay over here at the moment and usually that means I tire of them but I haven't with that one.
Tough question. Being an Elvis fan I think mine is probably "Always on my Mind".

Black by Pearl Jam is a heartwrenching love song that I love. Everytime he hears it at a live performance my husband tears up!
I also love everything by Josh Groban!

Oh my 5th grade daughter would love this. We will be getting these books even if we don't win the give-away. She has been drooling over the movie trailers. But our rule is the book must be read before she can see the PG 13 movie since she's only 10. So it'd be nice to win books and movie tickets.

Send me your snail mail info Karen and I’ll pass it on so your daughter can get reading and watching!
