~ Award wining artist Sarah Kargol Giveaway! $150
This is my favorite giveaway ever!
Sarah Kargol is a fabulous old friend from way back before children! She has really succeeded in becoming a well-known artist. Sarah is insanely talented and creates the most amazing pictures, she does all of this while raising a gaggle of rowdy boys! She can be seen all over the midwest in art shows and fairs. Sarah’s work can be seen in many different galleries and is truly unique. Check out her resume it is huge!
“Sarah Kargol was raised in the Midwest and now resides on the great plains of South Dakota. The plains provide her with ample opportunities to imagine a world beyond the isolation that exists in this vast region. Her four young boys have become a major source of inspiration; their daily antics, speech, and curiosity all drive her to create. Sarah is busily engaged in raising her children. She paints at night when the children are sleeping. It is the only time that there is quiet, personal space. It is during these quiet times when the creative process really takes off; this is her time. She often works until six in the morning painting and creating. Her boys love to wake up and see what new creations have been born in the night. “
Sarah’s niche is monsters, all different kinds! Take a look at her website and leave me a comment about what monster you like best. This is an ORIGINAL piece of artwork, she does not sell copies or duplicates! It is a large piece at 12X12 and is valued at $150.
Giveaway ends June 24th.
If you follow my blog let me know I will add you in twice!
This is the piece you can win… It is titled
Happy Family
This piece was commissioned for my son’s room many years ago, I loved it so much though, it never made it there! It is still hanging in my living room!
I had to add this photo in… When I saw Sarah in January we took our kids to eat for lunch. This is just a shot of the kids waiting to be seated. Everyone in the restaurant kept asking who the birthday party was for! Um, no just two families eating lunch!

3 Ideas to keep the kids busy!
Blanket forts, remember these? Don’t forget about them! This beautiful fort in my playroom was worked on by 5 of my children. It kept them occupied for 6 hours, the best part? There was no fighting for 5 hours and 58 min of that! They worked so hard and drug so much stuff out, but it was worth it. They had a blast. At one point it was a restaurant, they were taking food orders. It was a movie theater and a bear cave. I forget to let them do this kind of stuff!
Ah, Chic-fil-A! I will not live anywhere there is not a Chic-fil-A I am completely addicted to their diet lemonade…. Last summer they had a special that if you dressed like a cow you got a free meal, including dessert and drink. I made this little deal last 2 days! I told the kids about it on Tuesday, we brainstormed ideas for the cheapest way to “dress like a cow, head to toe”. That whole day we worked on our costumes. They all dressed in black and white, we cut out ‘cow’ spots and taped them all over them. We printed off a Chic-fil-A signs and taped it to the front of them. Then we made paper plate masks for their faces. We worked on it all day and the kids had a blast, I also spent no money on it!
The next day was the free day at Chick-fil-A, oh yes, we really did eat all three meals there that day! We don’t eat out much so it was not going to kill anyone. They loved our costumes and the kids were in heaven eating fast food for three meals! Two days of free fun!
Drive in movies! Our drive in is almost 45min away, but worth it. We went last Saturday night and for $18 (for the 8 of us) saw two new releases, UP and Star Trek. We left at 6pm and got there about 7pm. The movie doesn’t start until dusk so we had time to eat the dinner I packed and play catch and run around. The movie started at about 8:30 the kids one was first. It was UP which was fantastic! Then a 30min. break. Most of the little kids were asleep by now and the ‘older’ movie started. By the time we got home it was 2am! But where else can you get 8 hours of entertainment for $18!
