If you’re starting to worry about what will happen when your child’s beloved ratty teddy bear or beat-up toy finally bites the dust, consider immortalizing his prized possession with a Custom Toy Portrait by artist Jennifer Maher. For $60-130 (depending on the desired size of the painting) Maher, a mom of a three-year-old daughter who resides in Upstate New York, will turn your child’s favorite playmate into a lasting piece of art, which can be completed in only two weeks and can be created with the actual object or simply a photograph.
And guess what? We are giving away one 8 X 10 portrait! To win, write to us at newyorkfamily@manhattanmedia.com, putting "Toy Portrait" in the subject line, including your contact information and telling us what animal in your family you’d like to have turned into a portrait.
To multiply your chances to win, help us spread the word about New York Family magazine (we appreciate that) by either inviting a parent friend to sign up for our weekly e-newsletter at www.newyorkfamily.com, or by inviting a parent friend to join us on our Facebook Fan Page. It’s easy just use the Suggest To Friends function at the top left of the Facebook Fan Page. Then when you write us, let us know how many friends you invited but we appreciate it even if it’s just one.
Contest closes on Wednesday, January 26th, at noon. Good luck!
