No matter whose way it was, I think it is safe to say that Halloween 2008 was a huge success. We began our evening with a neighborhood dinner and then the dads escorted the trick or treaters while the moms stayed home to pass out the loot! Lia made it half way around the circle... to our house...and then called it quits to help me pass out the candy. She had a lot of fun...and is already devising her costume for next year!
Ahh...but with such happy times comes the news that my beloved camera is sick. Yes, tragic, I know! I was hoping it would be a quick fix, but it appears that it will take about two weeks before that hot little number is back in my loving hands. I adored it just a little more after my futile attempts to snap my little queenie in her holiday garb with my old point and shoot this afternoon....frustrating to say the least...
Which brings me around to the final point of interest in this multi-taskng post (and really the most fun!). Since I will not be snapping many new photos for a few weeks, I thought it would be a good time to start off the season of good cheer with the very first "La vida Lia Giveaway"! I have posted a few projects and ideas that I have gotten from Family Fun magazine. Each issue is full of fabulous ideas for kid friendly crafts and projects of all sorts. I can't say enough about how much I love this magazine...and so I have decided to give away two subscriptions to Family Fun! To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. If you do not have a blogger ID, please leave your e-mail as well so that I can contact you if you win! You will also need to provide me with your snail mail address so that I know where to have the magazine sent. I will keep the contest running through November 7th. The winners will be drawn and posted (always better than drawn and quartered!) on November 8th!
If you read my blog and have never posted, I would love for you to leave a comment and tell me a little about yourself...and if you regularly leave comments, don't shy away from the contest...I would be thrilled to share something I love with you!! Thanks for playing...and Good Luck!!
