Pistachio Ice Cream

I've always loved everything Pistachio. Of course there are the plain pistachios. But the real love started with pistachio pudding. I remember mixing up an entire box of instant pistachio pudding and eating the whole lot all by myself.Then I discovered pistachio frozen yogurt and most recently pistachio ice cream- YUM!But this pistachio ice cream isn't what you'd expect... it's PAINT. ...and free paint nonetheless! Head on over to Glidden.com to get your free quart. Whether it be pistachio ice cream or orange sherbert, a quart of this treat will satisfy your sweet tooth or painting cravings!

Giveaway Update!

Hi! I forgot that I was supposed to let you know the end date and time for the current giveaway. I was going to have it be this upcoming Monday, the 30th, but that day is very busy - we have our ultrasound and find out #2's gender. So I decided to give you more time and have the contest end on Tuesday the 31st and last day of the month. So get your comments in before midnight CST! I will be announcing the winner on Wednesday! Good luck!

100th Post GIVEAWAY!

**CONTEST NOW CLOSED**

I've finally made it to post 100! It has taken just over a year- yes a whole year to get 100 posts. Half of those have been in the past couple of months so blogging is picking up. When I first started most of my things were for little miss Kiera, since then I have expanded my skillset to include some new fun projects. I feel like I've learned so much and I look forward to the next year of learning and creating!

As far as blogging goes, I have been trying to update my blog's look and content to provide variety to my readers. Thank you all for the support, thoughtful emails, and sweet comments- it helps keep me encouraged to keep at this. But even without the blog community, I know I would still have this great passion for creating!

(Above were some of my big sellers)

So now for the moment you have all been waiting so patiently for... the big GIVEAWAY! This is to thank all of you for your support! Last week I posted this sneak peak:

That sneak peak was for this item:
Since making it on a whim, I have recreated it twice, one to giveaway, and since I could hardly bear to part with it, I made one for myself. Here is the item up for grabs: The sneak peak clutch got reworked and the new version transformed into a wristlet with a removeable strap. It zips and is fully lined. It is the perfect size to fit your keys, sunglasses, some lip gloss, a small wallet (or as I do, just grab my license and credit card) and whatever else you need to grab and go! Isn't it so fun and perfect for Spring (well and then on into Summer!) So what do you have to do to get a chance to win? Simple, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. So easy it shouldn't be allowed. This giveaway is open to U.S. and Canada entries only. Want extra entries? For extra entries you can:

1. Add a KinziesKreations button to your blog and let me know about it in your comment.

2. Create a post about this giveaway and let me know about it in your comment. (You can temporarily save and use the two photos above to use on your post if you'd like.)

I will be checking to see if you did these, so make sure I have a way to get to your blog.

I haven't yet decided when this will end, so be sure to check back for an updated end time! XOXO

**CONTEST NOW CLOSED**

Earth Day Challenge-Free Giveaway!

April 22nd is Earth Day. In an effort to promote Earth Day, I am issuing my Earth Day Challenge, the winner will receive a prize! Here's what you have to do: Do anything that you would consider in line with Earth Day. This may include something along the lines of the three R's- Reuse, Reduce, Recycle. Create something new from something old, implement some cool recycling idea, repurpose something old whether from your house, or from a thrift store... For those of you who don't consider yourself crafty, show me how green you can be- your greenest outfit, greenest meal or dish, submit a cool picture of something green, and the list goes on. It can be something you created or did in the past as well as new creations. Basically anything goes in this challenge- if you think it qualifies, I probably will too. Be creative! Go wild!

Once you have completed the challenge, either post a picture of it on your blog, or email me a picture of it (if it is something that can't be photographed then just tell me about it.) My email is on the side bar at the top. Then write a comment on this post telling me you've completed the challenge and where I should check. Make sure that I have someway of contacting you.

Now, the winner of this challenge will receive a reward, handmade by ME. It will include:

This lovely set of four washcloths, which are terry cloth on one side and backed with leftover scraps of four different green materials.

...and this funky little apron made from materials I had laying around or left over from old projects!

I will send them to the winner free of charge (must live in the U.S. or Canada)! I will accept submissions up through midnight on Earth Day (MST). I will choose a winner on the morning of the 23rd and their submission and picture will be posted for all to see. Pass the word along to as many people as you know- the more submissions, the more fun! If I don't feel that I have enough submissions by Tuesday night, I may extend the challenge deadline. Now start thinking GREEN!

Visit the sites on my sidebar for some cool green sites & things!
