Silhoutte black friday sale

Actually, there are two secrets. But first, the basic details.

Go to http://silhouetteamerica.com/shop.aspx on midnight 25th Nov 12:01 MST, and use the promo code BLACK to get 30% off any purchase (excluding CAMEO, download and gift cards).

You can also get the shapes for only 50 cents each! There are over 19000 designs to choose from!

The sale starts 12:01 MST midnight 25th Nov and ends Nov 28th.

Now to those secrets, or rather, the real goosip!

First, if you use the promo code GOSSIP instead of BLACK, you will get 40% off, not 30%. An extra 10% off for being loyal readers of CraftGossip.

Second, why is the CAMEO not in the promotion? Because it is hidden in a secret link! And we have that link. That link is

http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/blackFridayCameo.aspx.

You can only find the CAMEO through that link and it is on a very special price. Use the promo code GOSSIP to get the CAMEO at a very very special price (it is so special that we can’t reveal it). It is at such a special price that we recommend that you visit it as soon as the sale starts otherwise all the CAMEO’s at that sale price would be gone!

Remember, none of these links or promo codes are valid till the sale actually starts on the 25th of Nov  (Friday) at 12:01 MST.

So good luck everyone! And thanks for reading CraftGossip! Happy ThanksGiving!

Celebrating Mexican Independence Day

Lots of Americans seem to think that May 5 is Mexican Independence Day, but that holiday actually falls on Sept. 16.

May 5 is the celebration of the Battle of Puebla, in which the Mexicans defeated the French in 1862. Independence Day marks the beginning of their fight for independence from Spain in 1810. That was the day of what’s known as El Grito de Dolores, or the cry of Dolores, for when the Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang the church bells at his church in Dolores and declared that Mexico should be free from Spanish rule. 

They would fight for their freedom until 1821 when they finally gained independence. 

Fabulous Classroom has a little of the history and ideas for celebrating the holiday for all age groups. There’s also a link to a good video in that post about the real story of Mexican Independence Day. 

Twinkl also has a good tops about the history and different activities, discussion ideas, crafts and foods that can be incorporated into lessons at school or used at home. 

I also found a few pins that no longer link to a website but include good information on Mexican Independence Day, including some questions for students to answer based on the reading. You can find more printables and questions for kids from TX Homeschool Mama on Etsy (also available in Spanish). 

You can find a lot more paid resources about Mexican Independence Day at Teachers Pay Teachers. 

Mexican flag crafts are a fun option for celebrating Mexican Independence Day (though the current iteration of their flag has only been in use since 1968). Kids Activities Blog has a free Mexican flag printable and a few different ideas for decorating it including dot markers and torn tissue paper. 

You can also find some great Mexican crafts at Red Ted Art. The post includes all sorts of Mexican inspired projects including Day of the Dead crafts, Frida Kahlo pinatas and upcycled musical instruments. I love the giant paper flowers they shared from Honestly WTF.
