About the Author

Lipstick to Crayons was created by two sisters “joined at the hip” despite living miles apart. Different in many ways, yet both full of an energetic drive to create, design, and start projects (and browse the internet any chance they get!). Six kids between them, yet they still yearn to maintain their “hip & stylish” former selves.

Daring Book for Girls GIVEAWAY

November 3rd, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Bookroom Reviews is holding a Book Giveaway Carnival so we’ve decided to give away one of our favorite books, The Daring Book for Girls. For every girl with an independent spirit and a nose for trouble, this is the no-boys-allowed guide to adventure. My daughters have been referencing our copy for a year now. It has come in handy for when they needed to know how to tie a bandana, game ideas for a slumber party, and they even learned some new math tricks.

You can read our full review of The Daring Book for Girls here then come back here and leave us a comment to be entered in the giveaway.

One lucky winner will receive a copy of The Daring Book for Girls. USA residents only please.

Receive an additional entry for blogging about the contest and/or subscribing to the mailing list/RSS feed.

Deadline to enter giveaway is Friday, November 7, 2008 at 11:59 pm central time. Be sure to include a valid email address. Winner will be randomly chosen via random.org and will be notified via email and announced on this post.

If winner does not claim prize by November 10, 2008 they will forfeit their prize to alternate winner who will be drawn at random.

Check out the BOOK GIVEAWAY CARNIVAL for more book giveaways!

Congratulations to our winner, Karla!
