For many of us with kids in school, the first day of school is just around the corner. Are you ready? (I know I'm not.) It's time to get organized and shop for school supplies and do a whole host of back-to-school tasks.

While we're in back-to-school mode, I wanted to share one of my favorite art and school supply stores :: Stubby Pencil Studio (Kate, the owner, is a mother of two and one of my longtime blog sponsors). I've been a fan for a few years now and have bought and tried many of her lovely eco-friendly products. Some of our best-loved include our favorite markers of all time, the colored pencils that got Maia through first grade last year (and the chunkier ones that we used at home), the super cute erasers that grace Maia's homework desk, and, of course, the ubiquitous crayon rocks. I could keep going, but I think I'd end up listing half her store.

If you'd like to order some Stubby Pencil Studio yumminess for your own family, Kate is offering a special discount for Artful Parent readers. You can use the code APSAVE15 at checkout to receive 15% off orders thru October 31, 2012.

And if you'd like to enter to win the Back-to-School Tote pictured above, filled with over $75 worth of eco school and art supplies from Stubby Pencil Studio, then see the giveaway details below.
