I see bunnies bearing gifts!

We're really excited about Easter this year because of our great new personalized treat and favor bags! They are brand new, and I have to say, one of the nicest products we offer. There were so many "oohs" and "aaahs" when we first saw them! It's hard to tell from the photograph, but the colors are so rich printed on these bags, and have such a nice gloss. The look and feel of these bags is delicious; I absolutely adore them and know you will too!

So many ways to decorate the bags, too. You can seal them by folding the top over and then punching two holes you can tie a ribbon through, or you can even do fancy edge and hole punches along the top and seal or not seal!

If you have friends and family coming over for Easter and want to hand out goodie bags, or perhaps you're a teacher and have some treats for your students, these are so unique because they're personalized. I can think of a million other uses for them after Easter, from birthday party and wedding favors to Halloween treats.

This is one product I'm especially proud of to introduce this year, looking forward to more as we wait for the new site's completion!

I love Tweeting. If you aren't on Twitter, you should be! It was hard to understand at first, but now it's easy peasy. It's just like learning to drive! Anyway, I meet the neatest people there; customers, vendors and a whole lot of business owners.

One of my favorite Tweeps is Sharon from A Pregnancy Story. It's a great company with the neatest digital pregnancy journal! It's cool, it's modern, it's hip! With more options than a traditional baby book, like music, it's the new essential. The capsule is small and portable, so you can take it in your purse to your friend's and family member's computers too, and they can even post messages to baby!

Well, Sharon and I have been talking for months about doing something together, and we've got some big plans for the future, and we've come up with a great promotion for you at last!

Kid's Art Contest: TWO new Storymaker images!

I love being on Twitter. If you don't have an account, you've got to get one. You make so many new friends! My circle includes a great group of child experts who share tips from food and nutrition to how to talk to your teens and tweens, and so much more. Among these great people are doctors, like Lynne Kenney, a child psychiatrist. She came up with a great idea - a kid's art contest!

Dr. Kenney posted about it on her website, and had the contest in January with her art students. It was great! You've got to see the photos of the kids participating, here. We had decided to have two winners; one that would be random from all entries, and one chosen by us, that would become part of the Doodlekins Storymaker library. Forever part of our history!

Our random winner was 4th grader Katarina. She drew an adorable little yellow taxi cab! The random winner wasn't supposed to have their art added to our collection, but as it turned out, it was so cute we decided to include it. Katarina's taxi will represent customers who live in big cities, and we are sure it will be a big hit!


Katarina's original artwork on the left. We traced it and edited a few things to simplify the drawing because it has to be very small on labels. Next, we added a city background, inspired by Katarina's street with the white lines. Can you believe she's a 4th grader??? Wow! Well, now she's also a professional artist! Look for "City" in our Storymakers.

Our grand prize winner, whose art was chosen by Doodlekins to be in our Storymaker library, was 6th grader, Katrina. She did this amazing little flower! We thought that it was so versatile; great as a pretty decoration to add for any reason, but also to represent spring, summer, weddings, gardening, and more. Customers can custom color the petals to match their stationery theme!


Doodlekins Art Contest Grand Prize Winner, 6th grader, Katrina! The minute we saw the flower, we knew it would work. We traced it, added some grass and a smiley face, and "Flower" was born! Katrina, now a professional artist, gave us the perfect Storymaker that so many customers will enjoy using for a variety of ocassions and reasons.

We had great fun with this and are looking forward to doing it again. Children can gain so much from art. Whether it's a future career or just a pastime that brings them peace and serenity, art is something every child can enjoy and learn from. Being able to express yourself is so important, at any age!


Look for our winners' art at http://www.doodlekins.com/ in our Storymakers chart when you create Doodlekins products!

Special thanks to Dr. Kenney. She was so great to work with, and we highly recommend visiting her site; there is so much to see and learn there! She does webinars and speaking engagements, and can help you with your children! www.lynnekenney.com/speaking

We look forward to seeing more budding child artists. Contact chris@doodlekins.com if you'd like your class or group to participate in a Doodlekins Kids Art Contest of your own!
