spreading Christmas cheer

I realize that the big day has passed....but that doesn't mean I can't keep giving, right?!  Right.  I'd mentioned a little earlier that I was going to whip up an art case for my little Livy-Lou as a last minute Christmas gift.  She LOVES to draw and especially loves her own little notebooks to doodle her heart out, so I knew it'd be perfect.   I'd seen a couple crafty blogs where they'd posted tutorials for these fun cases (here, and here) and decided to try one of my own.   (I used the dimensions from Craft Apple, but not the instructions as I'm too impatient to read it all and figure it out.  Hence, why I ended up with an extra crayon pocket and sewed the button closure on the wrong side.  Hey, it was 3am on Christmas EVE!  LOL ANYHOW...) 
So here's what we're going to do--You know I just love these things!-- Leave me a comment with your name and email addy and I'll do a fun little drawing for a custom crayon case for your little artist. 

And I promise to get the button on right.  ;)

Kim you are just too cute! I just saw something like this the other day and loved it (but it didn't have a play for a pad which is awesome). Yours is so adorable! I'm going to have to try and make one or two. I'm sure that felt will come into play somewhere, lol. Hope you had a fabulous Christmas.

Okay ... I realize I probably won't get picked ... but either way ... fantastic idea! Definitely going to go check out those sites and try making one for my little boy ... maybe then he'd stop coloring on my walls? LOL. Merry Christmas! :)

Although crayons and babies aren't in my world any longer, makers and pens and doodling of older kids are. :)

I really like the colors you chose to make this in.
