ColorGrande DIY Fabric Design Review

ColorGrande – DIY Fabric Design Kit Review + Giveaway

It was always a dream of mine to have a dedicated craft room when I purchased my home. One part of my dream has come true when we purchased our home, and the second part came true when my husband said that our loft would become my dedicated craft room.

The craft room is about 12 feet by about 10 feet, with a lot of open wall space! Since it is my craft room, I decided to put things on the wall that either inspire me or that I have created. One of my favorite things to do is color, and I have been looking for a larger scale image I can color and then frame and display.

Recently I received a press release about a new product called ColorGrande and is was a DIY Fabric Design Kit. Continue reading →

These “other” people to shop for are the people that literally have everything already, and if they want an item they purchase it themselves.

If you happen to have someone like this on your list then I have the perfect gift – sticks and jerky!

Monthly Mystery Box of Awesome – October 2016 Review

Monthly Mystery Box of Awesome – October 2016 Review

There is no denying it – the holidays are upon us and with that comes family get togethers, meals shared, photos taken and gifts given.

If you are anything like me, I tend to like 2 types of gifts. The first being the useful ones that I have been wanting. The second is “white elephant” gifts. I have discovered that while it is great to get a heart-felt gift, there is something mysterious and random about getting a gift that may or may not have any use in your life.

The downside to this gift giving is that while the “white elephant” gifts are sometimes the best part of the holiday, the fact is it is only really once a year. At least that is what I believed until I started receiving the Monthly Mystery Box of Awesome by That Daily Deal.com. Each month no theme is chosen, but rather a selection of random gender neutral items that will undoubtedly meet a need of yours or a lucky recipient.

Color Your Christmas Adult Coloring Book Review

Color Your Christmas: A Crafty Christmas Adult Coloring Book Review + Giveaway

We are about 6 weeks until Christmas and I am already seeing the signs and icons of the season. Each time I go to the store I see more and more reds, greens and golds.

My favorite thing about the holidays is something that I rarely experience – snow and snowmen. I have begun collecting these white balls of personality, and dream of seeing a white Christmas.

For the time being the closest I can get is on television and my own imagination. I love adult coloring books for this reason – I can let my imagination run wild. When I received the Color Your Christmas:A Crafty Christmas Adult Coloring Book by Blue Star Premier and Suzy Joyner I was eager to see images of the upcoming season.

Garlic Gold: Garlic Gold Gift Box Holiday 2016 Giveaway

Garlic Gold: Garlic Gold Gift Box Holiday 2016 Giveaway

Since I have ventured into the world of cooking I have discovered that even if your ingredients or protein are of lower quality if you have solid spices, most items can be recovered.

The one item that we tend to use a lot of is Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It is important to monitor the heat and light that the oil receives, as these two elements will destroy the oil. Since this is a consideration while cooking, I have been practicing my heat application.

With the coming holidays upon us, Garlic Gold has offered a Garlic Gold Gift Box to one lucky reader!

Crispy Green: Stocking Stuffer Holiday 2016 Giveaway

Crispy Green: Holiday 2016 Stocking Stuffer Giveaway

If there is one thing that I find difficult during the holiday season is the annual stocking exchange. Each year my sister in laws shuffle names and we get to pick a name, and it is then our responsibility to fill a stocking with items for the recipient.

Sounds fun right? Well yes, it is but it is a task that comes with a bit of heavy responsibility to not disappoint the recipient.

Since my both of my sister-in-laws are into healthy snacks for their children I think I have found the perfect stocking stuffer that mom and kids will love – Crispy Green’s Crispy Fruit.

Peaches & Petals Subscription Box – November 2016 Review

Peaches & Petals Subscription Box – November 2016 Review

When the temperature drops, cold is something that I am familiar with, almost too well. Sadly, my husband and I run at two different temperatures which at times makes for a frustrating and heat variant home.

One of my favorite ways to stay warm is with blankets (I have many stashed throughout hte storage areas in my house), hot beverages and hot showers. I have found that if I can get my core temperature up, I will stay warmer longs.

Upon receipt of the November Peaches and Petals box, I was excited to see a blanket greet me when I opened the box. The theme was “Let’s Smores and Cuddle” and all the items would revolve around this central idea. As with previous months, each item are appropriate, and useful while constantly remaining in theme.
