GAME STOP WEDNESDAY

                    It's time for a little contest.

But first - an excerpt from my calendar for the month of June. -- Calendar called Shih Tzu puppies from BrownTrout Publishers.

“Did you know … that having a close relationship with your puppy may not only make you happier and more active, but may also provide direct health benefits?  Studies have shown that petting a dog can have the effect of reducing blood pressure even hours after the initial action, and that pet owners who suffer from serious illnesses (e.g. heart attacks) survive longer than those who do not own pets. One possible explanation is that heart attack victims are more motivated to recover because they know that their dogs depend on them.

And now for the contest -- --

     Below is a picture showing the pieces of something I am making.

               If you can guess what I am making, or come the closest,

           you win a machine embroidered bookmark, similar to these.

HERE'S THE PICTURE:

Materials include:

Pink and white striped fabric

White fabric

Velcro

Elastic

6 White buttons

and Red Felt

Try to be as specific as possible.  If more than one of you guess correctly, we will draw the winner from a hat.
Please convo your answer to either: www.StylinDogsBoutique.etsy.com or www.DianaDesignsNY.etsy.com
Or email me at StylinDogsBtq@aol.com

Anyone is welcome to play. You have until midnight PST Wed, June 6th.
Good luck.  :-)

Winner will be announced here, Thursday morning.  Thanks for playing.

And the answer is - a Candy Striper dress! It will have an apron with a red cross and a hat.
There were a number of correct guesses so I put your names in a cup, and John (aka Babalou) picked - and the winner is --- (it is first thing in the morning and my voice sounds like a bullfrog. )

Dr. Seuss Birthday Giveaway

March 2nd is Dr, Seuss' Birthday. This week's Sunday blog is a giveaway that is all about him.

Dr. Seuss was one of Theodor Seuss Geisel's pen names. He is well know for the many children's books he wrote and illustrated. He was born on Howard Street in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. Before writing children's books, he wrote for a variety of publications, made political cartoons and made some army training films. His first published children's book was And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. Can you believe it was actually rejected 27 times.

In honor of this great author who brought the joy of reading to so many children through the generations,

(This picture is of DogBarks and CatCalls - Patty's grandson Zeke in his Dr. Seuss outfit.)

I am doing a blog giveaway. I am giving away two hand drawn laminated bookmarks as shown below to one lucky person. (Note the familiar Dr. Seuss like stripes. )

The game is simple. Match the quotes to their Dr. Seuss' book titles (some books may be used more than once with the quotes). Once you have matched them all, convo (do not put answers in comments area) the answers to me at SassySashadoxie. If you have the correct answers, your name will be put in a drawing for the free bookmarks.

Good Luck to all. You have until February 28, 2011 at 12:01am Eastern Standard Time to convo me your answers. After that time, I will put the winner in the comments area below.

If you want to put a list of your favorite books (Dr. Seuss or not) in the comments area below that would be nice, too. Keep on reading folks. It is good for your brain!

Here are the Dr. Seuss Book Titles to use:

A. Cat In The Hat!
B. Horton Hears A Who!
C. Green Eggs And Ham
D. The Lorax
E. Oh, The Places You'll Go

Now, match them to these quotes.

1. You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.
2. a person’s a person, no matter how small
3. He should not be here. When your mother is out!
4. Not in a box. Not with a fox.
5. And when you’re in a Slump, you’re not in for much fun. Un-slumping yourself is not easily done.
6. Oh! Baby! Oh! How my business did grow!
7. I meant no harm. I most truly did not.
8. I do not like them, Sam-I -am.
