#Phantom is Coming! Win Phantom Necklace from Miss Bohemia

Miss Bohemia is a shop that has made it their business to bring fairy tales to life with their unique handmade jewelry and accessories. You can find elegant Victorian style jewelry or beautifully designed trinket boxes to store all your favorite treasures.  Choose from brooches, bracelets, rings earrings and so much more. To view their complete collection, you can shop both in their Etsy shop or visit their website. If you are thinking about making a purchase, now would be a great time. In celebration of her birthday, the designer is having a fabulous sale. You can save 10% on all her beautiful bookmarks. Its the perfect way to mark your page in Phantom!

Speaking of phantoms,  Miss Bohemia has one of the most beautiful phantom accessories I have come across to date. The silver tone necklace features a large phantom mask accompanied by a pretty red rose. The rose and the mask are two of the most meaningful symbols in Phantom. The mask hides the Phantom's deformity, and if you've seen the musical, you'll know that he always leaves roses for Christine after a performance.  This statement piece is much larger than it first appears. The mask alone is 5.5cm. It would look great with both casual or formal attire. This fabulous piece is a must have for any Phantom fanatic.

To help celebrate the upcoming release of Phantom, one lucky winner is going to receive a beautiful Phantom of the Opera Mask Rose Necklace! To enter, just complete the Rafflecopter form below. You will be able to enter this giveaway at both the New Age Mama and Author Laura DeLuca blogs. You only need to enter ONCE. Please do not enter on both blogs. Entries will be merged and one winner will be chosen. Giveaway will end on 4/4/12 and is open worldwide. Winners will be notified via email and will have 48 hours to reply. Thanks again to The Miss Bohemia for offering this great prize.

Crayola "Inside the Crayon Box" & Huge Prize Pack Giveaway #MyBlogSpark

Crayola wants every child to be creatively alive, so they´re inviting parents "Inside the Crayon Box," for a special live chat with celebrities and trusted parenting experts that will inspire and spark ideas to expand your child´s creative thinking.


The first chat took place on 3/7 with Crayola and musician, children´s author and mom, Lisa Loeb. They hosted a 45-minute live streaming video chat on the Crayola Facebook page. Lisa, best-known for her number one hit "Stay (I Missed You),"shared personal stories, practical advice and ways she brings a little creative play into every day for her daughter. I was unable to attend the chat due to a prior engagement, but I have heard only good things about it. You can still check out the chat on the Crayola You Tube Page.

Also, be sure to check out Lisa´s book Lisa Loeb´s Silly Sing-Along: The Disappointing Pancake and Other Zany Songs (Sterling Children´s Books, 2011) available at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. Sing, laugh, and play with pop Lisa in this fabulous collection of ten of the silliest songs ever. Fun activities, games, and recipes accompany whimsical songs. Take Lisa's Silly Sing-Along with you wherever you go and get the high-spirited good times started. Includes a 10-song CD recorded by Lisa!



In addition to the "Inside the Crayon Box" program, crayola also introduced some fun new products perfect for toddlers. Here is a list if the items we got to try out.

• My First Crayola Washable Crayons, Markers & Stampers: just the right size and shape for little hands, toddlers can create bright and colorful designs with no caps to lose or no messy ink pads 

• Crayola Mess Free Color Wonder Tiny Tube: with over 10 ft of coloring, perforated activity pages, a carry-along handle and the ability to store markers inside, kids can color at home or on the road; markers magically appear only on the special Color Wonder paper, not on skin

• Crayola Crystal Effect Window Markers: turn an ordinary window or mirror into a colorful crystal canvas and create amazing effects on an unexpected surface that can be wiped clean with a damp cloth

• Crayola Washable Kaleidoscope Chalk: experience sidewalk art in amazing new ways, by drawing designs, putting on the 3D Kaleidoscope glasses and watching as creations pop up off the ground

• Crayola Dry-Erase Bright Crayons: a dry-erase drawing and writing tool for kids that’s washable, smudge-proof, odorless, and will never dry out

• Crayola Dual-Sided Dry Erase Board: a two-sided board that makes it fun and colorful to share eye-popping messages or track soccer schedules

 My daughter had a ball playing with these items. They are easy to hold, won't stain clothes and provide hours of entertainment. I especially love the dry erase board because Willow can scribble on on it again and again instead of using up all my typing paper.  She also loves the character shapes on the markers. My older kids had a ball with the 3D Chalk with the kaleidoscope glasses.

Crayola is going to give one of my readers the same awesomwe prize pack I received to review. To enter, just fill out the Rafflecopter form below. Giveaway will end on 3/14/12 and is open to the US only. Winners will be notified via email and will have 48 hours to reply.Only one set of entries per person/household or IP address is allowed.

Every day a new video and text story will go live at HooplaHa.com and be pushed throughout all forms of social media.

Four of the featured stories on HooplaHa.com profile Mommy Blogger Leigh Koechner, who is the mother of five children and happily married to Actor David Koechner.

Leigh Koechner is raw, honest, and funny.  Having survived near death complications during the birth of her first child, Leigh’s joy is to inspire others to embrace the world and each other with open mind, heart, and arms. Leigh takes the ordinary experience of grocery shopping and carpool and turns them into an adventure of connection. She challenges people in the grocery store to "glee" with her, and she encourages her kids to reach out to neighbors and shower them with good deeds and compliments. There are some great lessons parents and children can learn from Leigh's outlook and positive energy!

Phantom Cover Reveal & A Celebration Giveaway

I have been waiting for this for awhile! I am very excited to share the official cover for Phantom! My newest YA novel will be coming out in the next few weeks through Pagan Writers Press. This book is a lot different from my Destiny series. There is nothing supernatural about. Much like the classic novel and musical that inspired it, Phantom is a thriller with a little romance thrown in.  Here is the blurb from the back of the book, to give you an idea of what it's about.

"When her high school drama club decides to produce the musical phenomenon, “Phantom”,, Rebecca finds herself in the middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker.

     Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva. She finds herself torn between her two co-stars—Tom the surfer, who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured artist.

   Almost immediately after casting, strange things happen both on and off the stage as people are hurt in true phantom style. Is Justyn bringing to life the twisted character of the phantom? Or are the roles of the hero and the villain reversed? Rebecca doesn’t know who to trust, but she knows she’s running out of time as opening night draws closer. To reveal the identity of the real-life Phantom, Rebecca must strip away his mask—and in doing so, risk her own life."

 

 To celebrate this fabulous cover art, I have put together a fun little prize pack. It includes a Gothic style necklace, much like the one that Justyn wears, three rough crystal points, two boxes of incense, an incense burner, a geode, and a little coffin knick knack box to store all these treasures. To enter, just complete the Rafflecopter form below. You will be able to enter this giveaway at both the New Age Mama and Author Laura DeLuca blogs. You only need to enter ONCE. Please do not enter on both blogs. Entries will be merged and one winner will be chosen. Giveaway will end on 4/3/12 and is open worldwide!
