UPDATE: Congrats to loyal readers Kim, Mary, Tawny, Ashleigh and Anne who will be receiving codes to create their own I Caught Santa photos. Giveaway is now closed.

Giveaway open to Canada and US.

Can you imagine the look on your children’s faces on Christmas morning when you show them a photo of Santa Claus, caught in the act in your own home?

I was recently introduced to a neat new website, Catch a Character, where you can upload your own photo (your tree, mantel, child’s room, etc.) and digitally add Santa to the shot. There are various Santa poses, and you can adjust the size, colour, brightness, etc. to make the picture as authentic as possible.

Here’s how mine turned out:

I know, Santa looks a little bright…and maybe a little short…but my kids are four and two. As if they’ll notice! (Hey, I don’t claim to be a graphic designer!)

Once you’re happy with your image, you download it to your computer, and are then free to print, share, send to the photolab, etc.

(By the way, Santa isn’t the only character who can get caught in the act. The Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, and Cupid are also available!)
Catch a Character is providing me with codes for five of my readers to use towards their own FREE picture (valued at $9.99). I’m only going to leave this contest open for five days, and here’s the deal: this time around I’d like to reward those who actually read and enjoy my blog (and aren’t just random contest-enterers). Therefore, to be considered for the prize, you must to leave a comment telling me about one of my This Mom Loves posts that you have enjoyed/appreciated/referred to/etc. and why. (No bonus entries – just a one-shot deal.)

Be sure to leave your email address if it’s not on your profile. If I can’t contact you, you can’t win!

When the contest ends at 8:00 AM  Eastern time on Wednesday, December 15th, I will use random.org to choose five entrants who will receive codes to create their very own photo at Catch a Character.

For those of you who don’t win, Catch a Character has provided me with a discount code which This Mom Loves readers can use for 25% off your purchases: Santa-2010

Now go catch Santa!

  3. So neat! My 2 year old will go crazy!

    I love your blog, especially all of Krista's party ideas. Maybe that's partly because Krista is my neighbour! Thanks!

  4. Hmm there was a post on this blog awhile ago about what teachers really want for Christmas. I have been struggling with what I was going to get for my little guy's first teacher (he's in pre-school). I read your post and decided to go with your suggestion. I've been thinking up a nice letter about all the wonderful things that teacher has helped my little guy with since the beginning of school. I think it will make a great gift! 🙂

  6. I love your reviews of children's books. My boys love to read and we're always looking for new ideas.
    I also really enjoy reading your momterviews. Makes me feel better to know that even the rich and famous have sleepless nights.

  7. I personally loved the article “Is Your Child Ready for Kindergarten? (Are You)”. I found it very informative for myself, as we have our son starting kindergarten next September. I loved how you gave some “insider information” which really gave me some sort of an idea how ready my son would be and what we would have to work on before he starts school.
