I have been thinking a lot lately about making with kids. My kids are so keen to get creative that it is difficult to keep up with them – and they are so full of ideas. I find little concoctions and experiments, notes and pictures left all over the house – so I have been drawn to how others craft with kids – please send in your ‘crafting with kids’ links to whipup[at]gmail.com.
Most people might not realise that whipup is run by one woman from home in her spare time (that’s me). Last year I implemented advertising in order to help pay some of the running costs – its been great but also difficult sometimes to keep up with the admin of it all – so I asked my brother to help me out – he did more than that and developed a web tool to help manage my ads – its been fantastic and I think advertisers have also had a positive experience with this system. The downside of course is that getting folk to advertise still requires time that I just don’t seem to have. So if you know of someone who might benefit from advertising with whipup – please give them this link to peruse (I have a pdf available too with stats and prices etc) and I am offering a 15% discount to all ads that are booked between now and 1 April – just use this coupon when booking online ‘March2010wKcH65‘. Thanks heaps.
