Today I am ALSO giving away a FREE copy of my new book, MODKID Summer Fun. All you have to do is leave me a comment and let me know if you've been following along with the tour and if there was a particular post you truly enjoyed... maybe a project you want to tackle yourself, or a story you found particularly sweet or funny. I will leave this contest up until next Wednesday, April 16th and then I will draw a winner. U.S. Residents will receive a paper copy and non US Residents will receive a digital copy of the book.
Good luck everyone! (don't forget to leave a way for us to contact you if you are the lucky winner!)
Also, you can purchase a signed copy on our website!
I leave you with a few of the photos we took along the way as we were designing the projects for the book:
