In the year 1983, a company opened it's 'Hearth' (a traditional symbol for the center of the home) to lovingly invite parents and children to enjoy quality and wholesome toys through their 'Song' that reflected the beauties of a family spirit.
HearthSong today, proudly boasts of a 'Gift Wonderland' that is able to cater to a child of any age, with any specific interest and to any parent's budget.

Everyone knows how much my little Book Worm loves books. I'm sure she will ravenously eat up the words once she learns to read but till then she's happy to have Mama and Dada read to her.
To encourage Bunny girl's love for books, we thought we'd get her a canvas book rack to hold her favorite books, perhaps for the week.

We initially thought we go with the pastels



but then decided we'd go for a gender neutral pick with primary colors especially as we hope both the children are able to use the same a few years from now.

I also thought it would be fair to personalize the book rack with the words "Good Reads" (Took a little inspiration from Alton Brown on the Food Network Channel!), this way another little child will be able to enjoy the same once Bunny girl and Bunny Boo grow too old to keep using this happy, colorful and sturdy bookshelf.


Notice our Christmas books have found a new place of honor?

HearthSong also has a host of other products like the Sound, Light and Movement Toys, Jewelry making kits, Active games and even Night time play toys.

You can even choose from an option of 81 Christmas Stocking Stuffers


and throw in a few Christmas decorations for good measure!

CLOSED: Create custom shirts at Fibers (+Giveaway)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

You're creative! You want your work to be seen!
What better way to do that than to wear your art?...
You can do that by hopping over to Fibers and unleashing your creativity with just a few clicks.

You can make a custom T-shirt like the one Bunny girl made.


We picked a kids tee, she chose the hot pink color, the princess logo and then we both decided that "God's Lil' Princess" would be the perfect caption for her 'Princess' T-creation.

I also think they have some great designs under the Family T-shirt collection. There are some lovely T-shirt designs to announce the arrival of a new baby and some sweet Parent tees that you can nudge your older child to perhaps get!


You can even think of making your family a 'Family' tee that can be worn when you go out for a family holiday or to even just visit an amusement park.
Quite cute, if everyone's game!

I like that they've made using this site incredibly easy. I'm sure even Bunny girl's Grandpa will be able to design a shirt and have it delivered to grand-dottie without any help.

Bunny girl received her shirt less than a week after she designed the same. We thought we'd ordered the right size but it's two sizes too big right now. The material is 100% cotton and the color hasn't faded out after the first wash....a good sign.

I'm sure custom-made tees will make neat Christmas gifts if you start planning your list right now!


Win it:

One reader will have the opportunity to win a 25$ Fibers gift certificate

(This is intended to cover the cost of the product, applicable tax, and shipping.)


Here's how you can win it:

1. Mandatory entry (without this, all other entries will be disqualified)-

The sponsor would like you to tell them how you would design your "I Love" T-shirt or an "I Heart" T-shirt. Copy the sentence below, fill in the blank and then post it to your comment.
I Heart ______________ T-Shirt from Fibers.com
(Please remember this is a family site.....no crude comments please !)
