Of course I don’t know anything about sitting too close to the screen.  All day long.  I’m just sayin’.

Are you looking for a fun activity that you can use for a birthday party, a Christmas party, a Saturday spent at home or a day over Christmas vacation?  Well, I have the perfect idea for you- Shrinky Dinks from Joobli Studios.  These packages for Shrinky Dinks are perfect for any family who likes to spend time together doing some arts and crafts.  It can be super fun for both boys and girls- there are great choices for both!

Joobli’s Fun Packs come in a handy package that includes a foldout poster, 32+ original images for tracing, 6 sheets of shrinkable plastic, foolproof make-and-bake instructions and 8 ball chains to make bag tags. Shrinky Dinks is an amazing tool for budding artists with just four easy steps: trace, color, cut and bake.

When it’s birthday time or planning a sleepover, grab the Joobli Party Pack, priced at $18.95. Featuring the same four themed kits, each party package includes themed invitations and envelopes, a themed poster to decorate the party room (and get youngsters’ creative juices flowing), 32 original images for tracing, 8 ball chains for guests to make party favors and Shrinky Dinks sheets for 8 friends. Trace, color, cut and bake resulting in a memorable party complete with artistic favors to bring home.

There is a little boy named Jacob- he’s 4 years old and he has a rare and life-threatening disease.  He has had this disease since he was born.  Jacob has one wish- he wants to go to Disneyland with his family.  Since I know how much we love Disney, I can only imagine that going to Disneyland would be a dream come true for this little 4 year old who has had to endure so much in his short little life.

Don’t you wish there was a way you could help to make Jacob’s dream come true?  Well, you can!!  From November 16th through November 27th, Leapfish will donate 5 cents for each tweet to the Make-a Wish Foundation until $10,000 has been raised and Jacob and his family can go to Disneyland.  I’m sure most of you have heard of Make-a-Wish before.  And now through the Adopt-a-Wish program a donor like Leapfish can decide to cover the cost of making a child’s wish come true.  That is what Leapfish is doing with this tweet-a-cause.

If you don’t have a Twitter account yet, it’s time to sign up for one so that you can tweet about this!  Then you can be a part of making Jacob’s dream of going to Disneyland come true!
