That’s because we’ve been working our butts off to create a fresh new web site and blog just for you guys!!!  It’s been a long (too long) process to design a beautiful, easy to use site with an awesome new blog that will offer design tips, book reviews, DIY craft projects, exclusive sales and a personal touch about me, the artist and mother of two.  A great way to get to know each other better- and a new place for you to share your thoughts on art, life, kids and design.

So, from now on, you can find my posts at www.childreninspiredesign.com/blog.

And don’t forget to make note of this because on Monday I will be posting our July giveaway (I know, July’s almost over…..I’ve been busy, OK?)

Happy 4th of July everyone!  A little something special at 50% off.   Here’s to America!

We all have been saddened by the environmental disaster in the Gulf  in recent months (kind of seems like years) and Children Inspire Design wanted to help find a way to raise funds for the Gulf’s victims as well as educate and inspire children to protect our environment.

In an effort to help support the Gulf clean up, Children Inspire Design will be selling signed, limited edition prints of the image you see here.   50% of proceeds will be donated to National Wildlife Federation’s Gulf Oil Spill Restoration Fund.  Along with the print, a $10 gift certificate to ChildrenInspireDesign.com will be included.

Let’s teach our children to change the world!

So here we are again, another month in our Year of Giving and another chance to win some great art!!  These 3 designs are the newest of our creations- yet to hit the pages of CID.com.  And for lucky you, we’re giving you the chance to grab them up!

We especially love the “Protect our Water” print.  It was designed before this mess of an oil spill (kind of ironic, we think).  It’s a very strong, important message for children, and there’s no better time than  now to emphasize it!!
