Cute and Fun Valentine's Giveaway!

This is such a fun and cool giveaway!  
 How cute are these for party favors or gifts for our classroom that our student's can actually use!  I love it!!!

I can't believe how great this company is!  Plum Doodles is awesome because it is great for the environment!  Listen to this cool little blurb from the owner of Plum Doodles:
They are 100% recycled Crayola brand crayons that I "rescue" from area restaurants, the school where I work, and friends/families that I know who no longer use their crayons.  I then remove the wrappers and hand-pour or use silicone pans to melt the crayons and mold them into a variety of shapes.  I make both solid colored and swirled (two or three color) crayons.  The shapes I currently have available include:  hearts, dinosaurs, mini fruit shapes, frogs, ladybugs, butterflies, letters, numbers, snack foods, transportation, sports, flowers, and gingerbread men.  


I love that this is helping our environment, they are cute as all get out, and they are made by a teacher!  I REALLY like the idea of buying from teachers to help all of us make it in our underpaid jobs!

So my giveaway is for a set of heart custom crayons to 2 winners (they are sooo cute)!!!!  I just got my set of dino's and sports stuff for my own kiddo's and they went bananas!  They are actually coloring right now with them.  Jack the 5 year old said, "I wonder if they can make me as a crayon?"  Now that is an idea....I am thinking we should put some lavender essential oils to calm our student's down as they color.  Now that is something Plum Doodles should look into!

So here is how you enter:
1 entry, follow Plum Doodles blog (love her header and it is a cute blog)
and
1 entry, Like them on FB (you can see all her cute crayons here)

That's it!  So go on and like a fellow teacher!  Let's show our support for such an environmentally friendly and genius idea!

I will announce a winner on Wednesday evening around 8:00pm (EST)  that way you get your crayons in time for Valentine's Day!
