GIVE A WAY WARNING!!!!!!!!! Knock Knock - Who's there - Elephants!

We are giving away a BABY ELEPHANT!  

Well, a Bobee Inc. Baby Elephant! 

Keep reading for your chance to win 1 of 3!

There is something about Elephants!  They are gentle giants, they are great moms, they have families that stick together forever.  I can't think of a better animal image to put in my home!


The love of elephants go way back.... I'm sure growing up you remember this precious moment in the movie Dumbo.  As a child you thought it was just a song, but as a mom... I can't watch it without crying.  


One of the newest trend in nursery decor is swinging back into the pachyderm themed sets.  And I have a cute one to share with you. 

In fact I'm giving away 3... Yes 3 different sets, a grey, blue, and pink set.  This product is  brought to you from Bobee.  I have one of their diaper wall caddies and loved it!  



Now you can decorate anything in your home with these cute elephant decals.  

Oh yeah.. they also have adorable giraffes.  I'm pretty sure the elephant and giraffe are the two cutest animals out there. 






Here is how I used them at my house :) 

This was my thought process.  My daughter is now 4, so she is into a bigger girl bedroom and not really a nursery any more.  I could have lined them up by our measuring door where we take our kids height measurement the first and last day of school every year.  And I really gave that a lot of thought.  However, I really wanted to do something that would show you how versatile these little guys are.  And when challenging my kids in art, I always say.... challenge your perspective.  So, I asked myself, where would be unexpected, but yet be seen everyday, at every eye level, and bring smiles to my family.  I think I found the perfect spot.  



 She is giving them all names.  Those two are sisters :)


 We travel our stairs a lot in my household!  This part of our stairway is always eye level no matter your height as you climb to the second level.  My children, think this is great.  In fact my middle child came home from school and said "I really like the elephants mom, it's like they are jumping down the stairs".  They are traveling along our house with us, bring smiles as they go.  People visiting never, ever over look their placement.

 I have learned as an artist to place things in spots were people aren't desensitized to their placement.  People pay attention to these little guys.

They might be small in size, but mighty in visual impact.

Plus - added bonus the gray go perfectly with my love of monochromatic grays in my home. That makes me happy :)  I adore grey!


Elephant fun facts

  • Only one mammal can’t jump — the elephant.
  • Elephants have the longest pregnancy of all the animals. It takes a female 22 months from conception to give birth.
  • Elephants are highly sensitive and caring animals. if a baby elephant complains, the entire family will rumble and go over to touch and caress it. Elephants express grief, compassion, self-awareness, altruism and play.

What's grey, beautiful and wears glass slippers?

What do you call an elephant that flies?

Why don't elephants like playing cards in the jungle?

Because of all the cheetahs!
