Win a FREE Piggies and Paws Print!

So, if you’ve never heard of Piggies and Paws, you may be asking yourself, WHAT is Piggies and Paws??? It’s a little hard to describe (and unfortunately, I’m not able to use photos of the actual artwork) but basically it’s custom made artwork using your child’s handprint or footprint. We’ve all done cute little crafty things with our kids handprints, but there is definitely a difference between what I can pull off, and what can be done with Piggies and Paws.

My friend, Cheryl, is an independent artist here in Utah and we’ve had a number of prints done by her. We have two in our house, and we loved them so much that we got four more to send to grandparents and uncles and aunts. They’re unique and personal and made perfect gifts. Everyone loved them.

So to get an idea for what you’re getting – go to the Piggies and Paws website. There’s a few pictures on the homepage there, but when you have one of these done, there are TONS of designs to choose from. Seriously. You will have a really hard time picking out what you want!

I also want to mention that you can host a “party” with Piggies and Paws and Cheryl will come to you (within a reasonable distance) to do the handprints of your children and your friend’s children. Hostesses who book in the months of September or October will get your final prints mounted for free. (This might work great at a playgroup get together!) OR – if you don’t want to host your own party, then come to Cheryl’s Open House on Saturday, September 19th from 10am – 1pm or on Friday, October 9th from 5pm – 8pm and you’ll be able to see all the designs that are available.

SO if you would like to win a FREE Piggies and Paws print – here’s what you gotta do:

  • Mandatory Entry: Leave a comment on this post. **Make sure you use a valid email address when you leave your comment – this will be the method I use to contact you should you win. (Value: 1 entry)

For more entries you can do the following (For each, leave a comment here telling me what you did)

Contact Cheryl for more information, RSVP for her Open House (and get directions since I won’t be posting her address here), or book a Piggies and Paws party: chodsdon@piggiesandpaws.com

Contest ends September 9th at 10pm MST. There is no purchase necessary to enter the contest. I will be using random.org to choose the winner. I’ll contact the winner via email, and he/she will have 48 hours to respond. After 48 hours, another winner will be chosen. If the winner is unable to receive the prize (ie. You live too far away) another winner will be chosen.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: The free Piggies and Paws print is only valid for prints created by Cheryl. If you live outside of an hour from Sandy, UT you may need to cover travel expenses to have Cheryl come to you. Or you can make the trip to Cheryl during her Open House. There are Piggies and Paws artists all over the country – so if Cheryl is too far from you, feel free to check out the website to find another closer to you. You will not be able to use your free print prize with other artists, but you can still get some cute prints from them!

    I have been wanting to do this for a long time and just haven’t had the time. My kids are growing up though and I need to stop procrastinating. Thanks for the motivation! I am going to book a party in October.
    Thanks for sharing. Love your blog.

    I love Piggies & Paws! I did one for my daughter last year and it’s a cute bee footprint! Looks perfect in my playroom.
