Pin It to Win It from www.pinterestmama.com #1: Willow Play Kitchen

Hello Readers! 

If you were directed here by http//www.pinterestmama.com or if you came by way of @pinterestmama on Twitter, you are in the right place!

It's me! I am @pinterestmama and www.pinterestmama.com is my new venture!

What is Pinterest Mama all about?

Well, let me tell you:

Pinterest Mama is a place you can use as a go-to source on how to make the most of your Pinterest experience. For those who are already familiar with Pinterest, you know how awesome it is!
I'm un-offically the world's biggest Pinterest fan and want to help you make the most of your Pinterest experience.

But for those who are not yet familiar with Pinterest, here is the exact quote of what Pinterest has to say about themselves from their own website (This is the exact quote from their own website):

"Pinterest is a Virtual Pinboard. "

"Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes. Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests."  Source: www.Pinterest.com 

Simply stated, Pinterest is an awesome place where you can Dream BIG!
You can dream - pin - plan - organize - make a reality!
So my thought was to create a place to share ideas on how to make the most of Pinterest.
There are so many possibilities for using Pinterest!
Well, as an intro. of what Pinterest can do for you, here is a beginning idea for those of you who love giveaways:

Giveaway Prize:
Willow Wooden Play Kitchen and Metal Utensils Set.
Perfect for a an unschooling family, or a Waldorf - Play Based - Reggio Emilia  - or Montessori inspired classroom or homeschool!
Also would be great for a nonprofit that works with young children!
This is just a gorgeous set, has two shelves for storage, is made of pine and is 37" tall 22" wide and 12" deep. No ply wood or MDF. Solid, sturdy, and handcrafted.
The Willow Wooden Play Kitchen retails for $250.00
The Stainless Steel Cookware Set retails for $22.50
So, the prize package is a wonderful prize worth $272.50!!!
Wow!!!

Here is the thing:

You have to either pick this up locally or make plans for shipping or pick up. 

This package does not include shipping or packing.

If you live somewhere that is not close to where we are near Tampa, Florida, then if you want to win, you will have to make your own arrangements as far as how this awesome prize will get to you! You could pay to have it shipped or you could make arrangements for it to be picked up on your behalf if say you have relatives or friends planning to head to Florida during the next few weeks.

A little on the back story of this lovely set:
Had purchased this set thinking that it would be something neat for some friends of mine, but the shipping was going to be somewhat cost prohibitive.
So when I contacted Pinterest, purchased www.pinterestmama.com and set up @pinterestmama, decided that what might be a great way to get the word out about Pinterest would be to give this away to a lucky winner!!!

Notes & Disclaimers for the Pin It to Win It Willow Toys Kitchen Play Set and Utensils Set Giveaway:

For the winner of the prize, you will have to sign that you have to either arrange for pick-up of your Willow Kitchen Prize or that you will make arrangements for pick-up or shipping. The only person who is responsible for getting this prize to you is you yourself. I am not going to pay to ship it, nor am I going to drive all over the place to get it to you. If you are the winner and live outside the Greater Tampa or Orlando areas, you will need to email me your plans of how you will get this lovely kitchen set for yourself.

Nonprofits may enter. If non-profits or not-for-profits do, this would be considered a donation so you would have to provide the appropriate paper work for this.

Individuals may enter. 

This giveaway is open to anyone who has a way to get this wonderful prize for themselves. So, say if you live in another country but have friends or family who will be spending the winter in Florida and they can get it for you, then you may enter.

If you enter this contest, it is implied that you are giving up the right to then try to go out and solicit to do this exact same sort of contest on you blog. Have worked hard to come up with this neat contest and am not doing it so that someone will win it only to give it away as a prize on their blog. Nor am I working on putting this all together for someone to win and then, use the contact information to try to set up their own Pinterest giveaways similar to my Pin It to Win It. You will also be giving up the right to give away products from Willow, as I am not going to make an in-roads and then, have someone else decide that they are going to do giveaways using my good name. 
This has happened before and I will not let it happen again.
