Get Crafty

Are you good with a glue gun? Handy at the holidays? Well, I'm typically not, although occasionally something spurs me into a creative mode – next thing you know, I've got a Christmas tree filled with acorns painted to look like little Santas.michaelselves

If you've got a holiday project you're fond of, you might want to check out the "Handmade Holiday Contest" at that Mecca of all things handmade: Michaels. Through Dec. 20, the arts and crafts store is awarding two $100 gift cards each week to the top vote-getters: Just upload a picture of your creation, and visitors will rate their top picks.

The store is also selecting grand-prize winners for "Best Creative Project" and "Best Creative Project Under $20" that will each earn a $250 gift card and a trip for two to New York City to see the queen of craftiness herself taping The Martha Stewart Show.

If you have no paper-and-glue skills whatsoever, you can attend the weekly (and free) in-store holiday workshops that cover everything from kid stuff to how to make your own awesome gift wrap (which might even turn out better than the gift itself). Or if you can build your skills at home by checking out the how-to webisodes.

Then you have no excuse not to drag out your box of sequins and pine cones and get crafting!

Win a Day At Disneyland!

Do you read mom blogs and think, "Gosh, those mom bloggers get to do fun stuff!"?

Believe it or not, blogging is hard work. You've got to keep your schedules straight, write like crazy, keep your posts updated, Tweet and Twitter like a flock earsof sparrows and spend endless hours editing videos and photos. But it's not all work and no play – the best part is getting out there and learning about what's cool and fun for families in Los Angeles.

After all that, you might think you really don't "have time for this." And that's probably true. But do you have time to enter to win a fabulous day enjoying the Holiday Celebration at the Disneyland Resort on Nov. 21? That's what I thought!

I'm inviting one I Don't Have Time For This reader to walk a day in my mom blogger boots!jasminejack

That's right! One very lucky winner and three guests of his or her choice will get to enjoy a little mom-blog VIP treatment while checking out the holiday decor in the park and experiencing some special activities with me and several other mom bloggers (and the winners of their Disneyland blog giveaways). Parking will be included, as will a buffet dinner and some socializing. It'll be fun. And I promise I won't make you work too hard.

All you have to do is get yourself there; Disneyland and the mom bloggers will take care of the rest!

Here's how to enter:

  • Email me at carolyn.graham@parenthood.com and put “Holiday Celebration at Disneyland” in the subject line. Be sure and include your name, address and daytime phone number (if I can’t reach you by noon on Thursday, Oct. 29, I’ll have to pick another winner).

  • Deadline to enter is Oct. 29.

  • I'll be picking a winner at random, but just for kicks give me a couple of your family's top tips for visiting the park.

  • You and your three guests must be traveling from L.A. County.

  • You and your three guests must be able to attend the festivities with me on Nov. 21.

Concert Ticket Giveaway: Mitchel Musso @ House of Blues!

mussoIf you haven't heard of this adorable mop-topped kid, just ask your tween daughter. Mitchel Musso plays Hannah Montana's best friend Oliver Oken. Like so many of his Disney Channel colleagues, this kid can sing, too, and is kicking off his solo self-titled album (which debuted this summer) with his very first U.S. tour.

Courtesy of Live Nation, I'm giving away a pair to tickets to see Mitchel's (all-ages) show at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 30, at the House of Blues Sunset Strip (insert sound of screaming tween here!).

If you don't know his music, check it out here or flip over to Radio Disney (AM 1110; Kate has nearly worn down the memory button on my car stereo). The album also hit #2 on the iTunes Pop chart (second only to Lady Gaga) and #5 on iTunes Album chart on the very first day of release. The album debuted at #11 on Billboard's Digital album chart with more than 50,000 digital downloads. And I'm going to admit to taking a slight guilty pleasure from listening to his big single, "Hey."

Just send me an email with the subject line "Mitchel Musso tickets," and I'll randomly pick a winner on Aug. 24 (and let the winner know via email or phone ASAP!).

To Enter:

  • Email me at carolyn.graham@parenthood.com

  • "Mitchel Musso tickets"

  • Include your name, address and daytime phone number (if I can't reach you by noon on Wednesday, Aug. 25, I'll have to pick another winner).
