a little love from me to you...a give away!

I've never had a give away here on my little piece of blogland. Heck, I don't even know if enough people read this to even justify a giveaway. However, we will soon find out. I was at Michael's last month and spied these in the dollar bins. Each little envelope contains four cards you're meant to put in your child's lunch box. I try to put a little note in the kid's lunchboxes every day but some days the morning gets away from me and I'm lucky if I even get the lunch in the lunch box, let alone a little note. These cards have some sweet words of love on one side and a fun fact on the other. I figured the kids would love them and it'd save me some time on those busy mornings. When I got home, I opened the envelopes and loved them so much I decided to go online and buy several sets. I discovered after I ordered, that the four bite size envelopes made up the first volume, which I had just ordered. I figured there was no need for me to have multiples of the same cards and decided to put them up for grabs here.

My kids love these. I think they love them more than my handwritten notes. Mostly because of the fun facts...at least that's what I keep telling myself. Sam tells me that he reads his aloud for his whole lunch table and the boys pass the card around afterwards. The other day he accidentally threw one away and he was in tears over it. These don't need to be just for lunch boxes either. They're fun to stash in the backpack, place on a pillow or in a pocket. To enter the give away for all four bite size volumes, all you need to do is leave a comment. It will stay open for a week and next Tuesday we'll choose a winner!

Those are adorable! I think I would pick out the ones I could stuff in the hubs lunch box and give the rest to my sis for my nieces and nephews. They would love them!

Those are adorable, Marie! What a fantastic idea!!!! Connor doesn't take a lunch to preschool, but when he goes to KG eventually, I'm sure he would love those!!! Adorable!

Those are so cute! I used to have napkins similar to these that had sweet little sayings on them, but we've used them all up. I like the fun facts

Those are so very cute. I think my husband might even like finding one of those hidden away in his work bag. :)
