Welcome to the Party!

It's here! The 5 Minutes For Mom 2010 Ultimate Blog Party is here. It's a chance to meet a lot of other moms, have fun, and maybe win some prizes too.

INTRODUCTIONS
Let me introduce myself! I'm Gale. I'm a part-time artist and full-time mom to three little boys. This blog is mainly about my art and humorous designs...which you can see a sample of below (this shows posters, but in my shops you can find everything from shirts to cutting boards!). As you can tell, the wittier items are largely inspired by my own kids.

Create a personalized gift at Zazzle.

SLEEP DEPRIVED PARENT GIVEAWAY

GIVEAWAY CLOSED
SARA WON - READ HER BLOG POST HERE

Hello! Any other sleep deprived parent bloggers out there? So, is it the parenting or the blogging that's making you sleep depirved? (I have to admit, sometimes its a little of both with me).

Well, I've got a fun little giveaway for you. Would you like to win the button below? It looks great attached to a diaper bag! It's especially catching on one of those black Similac bags you get free at the hospital. (Note that when pinning something to a diaper bag, it's best to pin it to the strap or the fabric trim to avoid causing rips in the plastic lining. )

Sleep Deprived Parent Button by scribbleprints

I've also added a way for non-bloggers to enter too -- one that gives bloggers an extra way to win and helps share your site with others too!

TO ENTER
If making multiple entries, please leave a comment for each.

BLOGGERS: Copy-paste one of the two codes below, or the button picture code, and put it in a post OR on your blog sidebar, then come back and comment with the URL where you posted it. I plan to write about some of my favorite responses to this....so if you want to write about what makes you a sleep deprived parent or include this image in another funny, creative or interesting post, you may also get some linky love in return. But, no text is necessary to enter, just the picture and link. You can also get extra entries by sending your readers here (see details below).

If your comment wins, I will also send a button to the blogger who's post you commented on.
