As a stay-at-home mom who spends her days changing diapers, napping whenever possible, and regularly speaking in high-pitched, sing-songy baby talk, I sometimes think I can actually feel individual brain cells shrivel up and die. I’ll take intellectual stimulation wherever I can get it, including from this blog, my virtual time-out chair.
 

Bloggy Boot Camp: The classes, the knowledge, the women, the expertise, the valuable information and… the door prizes!

Yes, I am a winner. Perhaps not THE grand prize winner, but I still think I scored.

So, without further ado, it’s time to reveal my prize. Look closely. Can you spot the difference between these two pictures?

 

Yep, there you have it. I won an Ice Cream Pint Cozy!

 

Holding your pint of sweetness with a crumpled paper towel is so 2010. Now, Squirt can eat her Cookie Dough Ice Cream in style and I can enjoy some well-adorned Schweddy Balls.

The Ice Cream Pint Cozy is handmade by TaraDara. I had the pleasure of meeting Tara at Bloggy Boot Camp and she is truly a nice woman and a talented artist and blogger.  Besides the ice cream cozy, she makes other great stuff, including Kindle and iPad covers, wallets, and business card holders. In fact, I’m thinking I need a Kindle just so I can get the Dr. Seuss cover for it. If you get a chance, check out her Etsy shop here – could be some great, unusual Christmas presents.

 

hmmm… and as I wrote this post, I started making up a Schweddy Balls song to the tune of Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat…  Perhaps I really DO need to start vlogging!

 

 Disclaimer: I received no compensation or product for writing this post. simply needed to share with you a funny door prize I won so that you can order one and sit on your behind eating a pint of ice cream in style and with no shame!

    • It would have been more awesome if I had been able to actually find a pint of Schweddy Balls so I could take my own picture for this post. Well, and so I could eat it too! Schweddy Balls are apparently hard to find around here… :-)

  4. Bet you’re the first one in your neighborhood to have one ! ! But probably not the last!

  5. Hahaha! LOVE Smelly Cat…I miss Friends.
    Awesome prize though. And yes, I’d like to see you do a vlog.

    • Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat
      What are they feeding you?
      Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat
      It’s not your fault.

      And now, in honor of my inability to actually locate a pint of Schweddy Balls:

      Schweddy Balls, Schweddy Balls
      Where are they hiding you?
      Schweddy Balls, Schweddy Balls
      Is it Ben or Jerry’s fault?

  6. Christi!

    • I’m glad you like it Tara! I had a lot of fun with this one and I just couldn’t resist the opportunity to throw in some Schweddy Balls. I have to say, I’ve spent some time on your Etsy shop and I REALLY do like your stuff. You’re so creative!

  7. OMG I was totally singing Smelly Cat in my head to this too!

  8. Oh my goodness – ice cream flavors have totally moved on and left me in the dust since I left the country!

    • The name “Schweddy Balls” came from a Saturday Night Live skit. It’s a big controversy here at the moment. Lots of stories in the news about angry moms wanting to boycott Ben & Jerry’s. Personally, I’m just appreciating it as an amusing blogging opportunity!

  9. Ohmigosh, I so want an ice cream cozy! And why have I never heard of Schweddy Balls before??

    Thank you for enlightening me on these two things!
