Save money in this economy with a Glitter Toes Party!

October 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I love having beautifully painted toes.  I also love for the paint to last more than few days.  :)    I will not tell you how much I spent on my last pedicure.  Mostly because it’s kind of embarrassing that I spent so much.  Also embarrassing that the paint job didn’t last near as long as what I paid for it!  It’s so fun for me to meet up with my girlfriends at the spa, but in this tough economy I don’t really have the funds for it.  What’s a girl to do?  How can the girls and I get a great pedicure at home (with paint that actually lasts) for a dandy deal?  Plan a Glitter Toes Party that’s what!  

Now that’s my kind of party!  When you have girls night with the Glitter Toes Party Kit then you get 13 applications from Glitties to cover all in attendance.  Right now you can get this amazing kit for only $39!  That’s far less than I spent on my last pedicure.  Still not telling what I spent!  :)    Just think of it…split up the cost of this deal with the other girls and you can have $$$ left over to order pizza!   

Check out this dandy deal:

 With Glitties you get nail art that lasts up to 6 weeks and with this deal it can be had for a VERY affordable price!  The Glitter Toes Party Kit includes:

  • 12 glitter colors per kit
  • Pedi/Mani brush, file, base & more
  • Bonus: 1 bottle of bonding, 1 bottle of sealing

A $111.50 value for only $39!  Now that’s is way dandy!

{Giveaway} My Vinyl Designer ***ENDED***

October 24, 2011 By 107 Comments

 

I absolutely adore my craft cutter.  It’s useful in so many of my decorating and crafting efforts around our home.  I can cut paper with it, fabric, and VINYL!  And we all know all the great ways to decorate with vinyl around the house.  Walls.  Ceramic tiles.  Wood blocks.  The list goes on and on!  One area of the vinyl decorating I want to become acquainted with is using my craft cutter to create glass etching gifts for people on my holiday list.  Basically (with the help of a craft cutter) you cut an image out of vinyl and then use the outer edges of the graphic to make a stencil.  Then you affix the vinyl to the piece of glass and paint on a specialized cream that etches the glass for you!  Sounds simple enough and makes an amazing gift:        

               

Photos taken from Do It Yourself Gifts.

Doesn’t it look so fun!  The above is with a stencil that has to be taped to the glass, etc.  Can you imagine how much easier it would be through the use of vinyl!  :)   

So we’ve already well established that I love my craft cutter.  BUT…  I do not like the price of all of those cartridges.  My Vinyl Designer is compatible with most craft cutters, so you can get graphics for vinyl cutting at way reasonable prices! 

For my holiday DIY gifts I definitely need all of these Christmas graphics:

 Priced at less than $15, so it sure beats spending 4 times that on a cartridge!

There’s even single designs that are priced as low as just $1!

Here are a few that are perfect for the walls of kid’s rooms and decorating your walls around the house:

                                                  

                                                  

 

There are even a whole collection of vinyl chandelier graphics available:

 

Even for making subway art!

See what I mean?  Soooooo many great graphics for you to make your very own wall vinyl, gifts, and more!  Who wants to win something really dandy from My Vinyl Designer?  Well then you better enter to win, because this prize is mega dandy!  :)

One very lucky winner is going to receive the Stick Figure Plus Collection CD. 

 

Here are just a few examples of graphics on the CD:

{Giveaway} My Growing Season ***ENDED***

October 17, 2011 By 73 Comments

It’s becoming more and more difficult to keep Banjo entertained during church.  After all… Banjo is 3 years old!  He doesn’t like to sit still or stay quiet, so of course the 1st hour on Sunday is difficult for us.  He goes to nursery (singing time, play time, lesson) for the 2nd and 3rd hours, so he’s someone else’s problem then.  :)    I’m only joking about him being a problem.  He really is a good kid.  Just a kid.  I often find myself looking around during that 1st hour of church and see that others are struggling with their children too.  So fortunately it’s not just Banjo making all the noise!  :)   One thing that I’ve found to be particularly effective is his “My Quiet Book“.  We received this from My Growing Season quite awhile ago and it’s awesome!  He loves to take the items out of the pockets, etc. We’ve even found that children sitting in the pew in front of us like to turn around to see his cool book.  ;)    Recently My Growing Season sent us the “Let’s Count 123″ quiet book and it’s another hit with Banjo!

  

 

                                  

                                           He really likes the above pages the best!

There are so many fun quiet books to choose from, but what else does My Growing Season carry you may ask?  Well, they also have the CUTEST charts:

and

holiday advent calendars:

    

I attempted to make a Christmas advent calendar last year and the materials are still in the closet upstairs in my craft room!  I’m thinking I need to order this one from My Growing Season!  :)

There’s even a variety of soft toys like these adorable animal finger puppets:

Ready to find out what’s being given away this week from My Growing Season???  One very lucky winner is going to get to pick out their very own quiet book!  Yep it’s winner’s choice of which one!

Halloween Theme

October 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I am huge fan of dressing up as a family in theme costumes!  I’ve only been able to get audiologist man to go along with this a couple of times.  He’s more inclined to dress in theme if we have a Halloween party to attend.  Unfortunately for me we have only went to a couple of costume parties in the 9 years we have been married.  Most of the time we get together with friends for October 31st and the kids just all dress up.  But I dream of throwing the ultimate Halloween party one of these days!  Maybe next year…  

The first year we were married there was a work party to attend and we went in 50′s costumes similar to these:

   

 

Then for Banjo’s first Halloween we partied with friends and I went as Velma:

 

Audiologist man as Shaggy:

 

And Banjo as little Scooby:

 

All of the above (and many more) group costumes can be found at Pure Costumes.  Also, if you make a purchase from their Facebook Store then you will get 5% off!

Oh and how could I forget…

 

 

 

Wasn’t he the cutest little Scooby ever???  :)

{Giveaway} My Grafico Arts & Crafts ***ENDED***

October 10, 2011 By 43 Comments

At my house you will find loads and loads of scrapbooking supplies.  There’s some in my craft room upstairs and then boxes of it in the basement.  It’s quite sad really.  There’s so many items that literally have never even been used.  I’m talking paper, stamps, die cuts… you name it and I have it.  I think my problem is I would buy these massive packaged of paper thinking that I would use it, but then really only needed it for a few specific sheets.  Then I went through this stamping phase where I started collecting all of these different stamps and ink.  I don’t even want to think how much I spent on it all!  And now where does it sit?  In a box.  I’ve often wondered what it would be like to have scrapbooking supplies right at your fingertips.  No more of this traveling out to the store and having to buy big packs of paper just to get the few select ones you need or all of those die cuts…You can even forget about throwing your money away!  How you might ask?  With My Grafico Arts & Crafts!  It’s THE place to get those supplies digitally and at major savings!  All you have to do is print from the comfort of your own home.  Here have a look at just a sampling of what’s available at My Grafico Arts & Crafts:
