Christmas in July with Storkie.com

Did you know that in only 5 months it will be Christmas?!? 

                                               
I have already started to get things for the grandchildren as I have so many to buy for that I try to shop all year. We also like to decorate the whole house as Christmas is my favorite time of the year. One thing that we like to do is hang all the Christmas Cards up that we get. We get so many of them that it seems a shame to just put them in the drawer. We usually just make a circle around one of the doorways as that way everyone that comes over can also enjoy them. I like to start shopping early for our Christmas cards as that is just one more thing that I can cross off my list. One of the places that I have found that has everything that we need is Storkie.com  As they have everything you need for all your holidays!
At the end of the season we like to find things to do with all the unique Christmas cards.
A great way to recycle the cards from year to year~

  Gift Tags~
 You can use any part of the card that is your favorite~cut out and add glitter~lace or buttons We used yarn to make the hangers. You can decorate these any way that you would like. No matter what they will be  bit hit with everyone!

Ball Ornaments~
Take your Christmas Card and trace several circles on the back of the front of the card.{You can use a small medicine bottle}
 Out of Cardboard, cut out a triangle that would fit inside  the small circles.
Take the cardboard triangle and place it in the middle of the circle.
 Fold Ends over triangle.  Use the triangle again until all circle pieces have been folded.
Use glue and paperclips to begin gluing the bent circles together until a ball is formed.



Lacing Cards~
Just  use a hole punch to punch several holes along each side of the card. Show your child how to lace a piece of yarn through each hole! You could even get the yarn to match the design.





 All these crafts are so much fun and so easy to do!

ValueRays Shoulder Warmer Review & Giveaway! 1/3

ValueRays makes so many great products that I would have a hard time choosing something for myself so I let Anna decide what to send me.As I love surprises~don't you? And~~I was not disappointed.She sent me the ValueRays Shoulder Warmer and let me tell you I am in Heaven! It is so easy to use~as all you have to do is plug into your USB port on your computer and instant warmth. It feels so good on my shoulders as with having arthritis it seems that my bones hurt more when I am cold. Not only can you use this as home but it would be great at the office too! As it is very small and lightweight. The ValueRays Shoulder Warmer measurements are aproximately 18" across the back shoulders and about 9" deep.  The two tabs in the front of the shoulder warmer have velcro to securely attach the shoulder warmer to your body.  The carbon fiber heating element is positioned inside the double-faced fleece fabric to produce warmth to the back of the shoulder area.  The heating elem...

Scentsy Review & Giveaway! 12/20*CLOSED*

I love my house to smell good.I have candles and tea lights in almost every room.But it seems that no matter what I buy the scent just doesn't seem to last.I have spent so much money trying different ones and I swear that I should have bought stock in tea lights the way I buy them!! That is why I was super excited when I was asked to review some Scentsy Products. What is Scentsy~You ask?! Well~let me tell you~ Scentsy sells wickless candles, ceramic warmers and home-fragrance products.  A wickless candle, called a Scentsy Bar or a Scentsy Brick, is a highly fragrant wax bar that is warmed to release fragrance into the air. And they have over 80 scents to choose from! So~I know that you will find one that matches you too!  Because the wax is gently warmed rather than burned, it can hold more fragrance oil than a traditional candle. And, because there is no flame, there is no smoke, soot or lead. Scentsy wickless candles are a safer alternative to tradition...

Brugo Mug Review & Giveaway! 12/7

If you are anything like me you can't start your day without Coffee. When I wake up the first thing that I do is turn on my coffeepot and wait for that first sip of coffee.. I have a few favorite cups that I use regularly. But like most cups that you you can get today~I have different problems with with all of them.One of them doesn't keep the liquids hot~the other cover falls off all the time and that does not make for a happy morning..  That is why I was so excited to get my Brugo Mug in the mail! I received a purple one and not only is it my favorite color it is Leakproof! It is a very heavy mug as it is made of stainless steel and has a no slip bottom. This is now now my favorite mug and I have told all~HANDS OFF! :-)  I love the cover the most as this is where the fun starts~ The Brugo Mug has a 3-position drink mode selector~"Lock, Sip, Tip  and Cool"~allowing you perfect taste and temperature control whether you need a bolt of caffeine or prefer to ling...
