...INTRODUCING PHOTACULAR!!

Photacular gave me a GC for $20 and Free Shipping to choose something to review. I chose the Standard Photo Tote Bag. One thing that would be nice on Photacular would be the option to use more than one photo. But since they don't I went on my computer and made a collage of some photos and then uploaded it to Photacular. It worked GREAT! Photacular turned this...

...INTRODUCING MONTRAIL!!

I want you to know a little bit about Montrail before I start my review.

Montrail is committed to delivering innovative performance footwear with outstanding runability for the New Breed of Runner.

I was sent a pair of the Women's Fairhaven shoes. These are really nice. Here is a picture...

"Hybrid road/trail running shoe designed with great fit, great cushioning, and a versatile traction system for a smooth ride on all surfaces. It features our revolutionary new “FluidPost” stability technology that provides customized support for any runner’s footstrike on any terrain.

Here are some pictures of me and my shoes...

(Trying them on!)

(Here is a good view of the breathable mesh.)

(Checking out how comfortable they really are! And they really are comfortable!)

(Here is a pic of the bottom of my shoes.)

These are really comfortable. The most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! And there is great cushioning. Every step you make you can feel it! These are really wonderful shoes. My sister (who wears about the same size shoe as me) tried them on she she was amazed at how comfortable they felt! And they look great! I LOVE my new shoes!

BLOGGY BIRTHDAY BASH EVENT!! -- CAFE PRESS REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY!!

BLOGGY BIRTHDAY BASH EVENT AT PI OF PRODUCTS!!




...INTRODUCING CAFE PRESS!!

Cafe Press allowed me to pick out something to review. I LOVE Cafe Press. CafePress is the ultimate destination for coffee mugs, funny shirts and other customized gifts! I could look around on there for HOURS! I chose two items. The Stop, Drop and Roll Baseball Jersey and the Stop, Drop and Roll Trucker Hat. These are really nice. I kept the Baseball Jersey and gave my Mom the Trucker Hat. She likes it because there is mesh in the back and she does not get as hot as she would with a regular ball cap. Here are some pictures...

(The Shirt and Hat)

(The Patchwork Pottery Scent Pod Warmer)

HearthSong Review and Giveaway!!

I took my little sister over to a friends house the other day and when we left she was all excited about this chair that her friend had. It was pink and had horses on it! I decided I needed to investigate...

HEARTHSONG!!

HearthSong sent me one of their Pink/Cowgirl Butterfly Chairs. This is really nice!

Isn't it cute?!? We put this chair over in my little sisters book corner, added a lamp, and now she has a little nook.

Here is a little bit about the Butterfly Chairs from HearthSong :
"The prancing ponies on our kids butterfly chair make quite a playful addition to any bedroom or playroom. Its luxuriously plush cover fits snuggly around its metal chair frame and can be removed for washing after many hours of horse play. Folds easily for storage."

Here is a little bit about how HarthSong was started :
"Barbara Kane started HearthSong in 1983, partly to see if other parents were experiencing the difficulty she was in finding good, wholesome toys for her children. Mostly she was motivated by her strong conviction that childhood is a special time in each human lifetime, and she wanted to make the best of it for her children. In Kane's view, "Earlier is not necessarily better. It's important that children learn basic skills, but at the right developmental age. Most of all, children need time for creative, imaginative play. In fact, it is through play that children learn most readily." The best way to express this reverence for the human experience, she felt, was through quality products.
Kane chose the company's name to reflect her values: the hearth, a traditional symbol for the center of the home, and song to symbolize the family spirit, the joy that parents and children can experience together.
In addition to its collection of "classic" childhood toys and games, HearthSong also designs and develops its own toys, family games, unusual craft kits for parents and children to make together, and decorations for seasonal celebrations that reinforce the "family" theme.
In choosing items, HearthSong merchants ask the following questions: Does this item have beauty, durability and usefulness? Does it represent a cultural heritage? Is it made of non-toxic materials? Is it developmentally appropriate for the age group for which it is intended? Does it encourage a sense of family or community? Does it have a timeless or classic quality? Only products that meet these criteria are offered in the HearthSong catalog or on our web site.
In addition, our Quality Assurance Department conducts rigorous testing of every product we carry to make sure every aspect is in strict compliance with federal guidelines. And we ask children to test them too. We write careful, explicit instructions for our kits and ask that children test those, also, before we publish them. "

This is great. My sister said that it is very comfortable. She loves that it is pink and she likes that is has horses on it! Here are some pictures of her and her chair...

(Reading a book in her little nook!)

(See the little horseshoes?!?)

My little sister really likes this. This is now her favorite chair and she uses it whenever she can. HearthSong has so many great toys, crafts, and games!

**********GIVEAWAY!!**********
One US Winner will receive one Butterfly Chair of their choice!!

HOORAY!!

BLOGGY BIRTHDAY BASH -- KIDLANDIA GIVEAWAY!!

BLOGGY BIRTHDAY BASH EVENT AT PI OF PRODUCTS!!



...INTRODUCING KIDLANDIA!!

Kidlandia gave me a gift code and I got to choose something. I chose the Fine Art Print Whimsical USA map and then personalized it. I put names of our friends and each family member got to choose where they wanted their name and they got to choose an item to put beside their name. I have not received this yet but it looks great!


Here is a little bit about Kidlandia:
"

About Us

The founder of Kidlandia, illustrator and entrepreneur Brian Backus, has been living in a fantasy world of maps and monsters since he was a very little boy.

Kidlandia grew out of Brian’s 2004 concept to create personalized maps of imaginary kingdoms for children’s rooms. He believed that by providing children their own kingdoms, with friendly monsters as companions, kids would gain an increased sense of confidence, control, and self-worth. In addition, by naming the cities, islands, and other features of the kingdoms after family and friends, kids would feel more connected to those who love them. Brian, who produced educational multimedia titles for Disney and Voyager, was also intrigued by the idea that by engaging kids in namesake kingdoms, he could motivate them to understand maps, and accelerate reading skills.

Although the maps cost up to $2,000 and were only sold by word of mouth, Brian could not keep up with demand. He received consistent feedback that the maps were among the favorite gifts of a lifetime. In response to this encouragement, he determined to make the maps more widely available, and at affordable prices. Kidlandia was born.

Today, Kidlandia is comprised of a team of talented engineers, designers, and business professionals. Kidlandian team members share a passion to bring delight and meaning to the lives of children and their families. 2.5% of Kidlandia’s founding stock has been set aside as the basis for a future charitable Foundation benefiting children."

Guess what?!?

"KIDLANDIA® ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF FAO SCHWARZ BOUTIQUE!

· The launch of the Kidlandia Personalization Boutique at the legendary FAO Schwarz Fifth Avenue in New York City, is designed to allow families to create their own personalized kingdom on a custom Kidlanida kiosk and print it out right in the store. Developed in collaboration with HP®, who is providing all of the hardware, the boutique opened in late March on the store’s Lower Level. The Kidlandia Personalization Boutique will offer 24 x 18-inch Kidlandia fine art prints, including the Kidlandia Patchwork USA Map, Kidlandia Whimsical World Map, Family Trees, Kidlandia Kreechur Kingdoms and map designs for Disney® Princess, Winnie the Pooh®, Dora the Explorer®, and SpongeBob SquarePants®, and a FAO Schwarz exclusive keepsake map of Manhattan. Each high-quality fine art print will be packaged in a travel-friendly tube for the customer."

WESTERN ROUNDUP EVENT -- DENISE MEYERS REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY!!

WESTERN ROUNDUP EVENT AT PI OF PRODUCTS!!




...INTRODUCING DENISE MEYERS!!!

Denise Meyers sent me one of her Tote Bags. It was the Pinto Horse Tote. This is really nice! My sister was talking about how nice it looked when it came in. I will post some pictures on here later. This Tote is really nice. I like to stick in a book or two, my brush, notepad, pen, etc. when we are taking a trip or just a long drive. It is very well made and will last me a long time. There are also two velcro pockets on the back of the tote. I will add a picture later. Here is a little bit about the Canvas Totes :
"

Our canvas totes are made from 100 percent cotton canvas and are fully lined, with two velcro closure pockets in the back to secure your valuables. Images are printed on canvas, then hand painted to retain the texture, dimension and rich color of the original paintings. The canvas panel is sewn onto the bag with polyester ribbon and the corners are embellished with flat backed Swarovski crystals. The bottom edge of each bag is painted by hand to maintain individual themes.

Canvas Tote 14"high (23" with handle) 16" wide and 5" deep"

Wow! Sounds really good!

Here is a little bit about how Denise Meyers got started :

"

DCM squared was established in 2008 after I was inspired to begin creating a new line of artwork that combined art with function in an accessory that is as beautiful as it is functional. After all, you don't buy a new outfit or a new piece of jewelry just to leave it at home, so why should your art collection be any different? I design each bag to be displayed in your home right alongside the rest of your art work, and when you need the perfect accessory for an evening out, you have just the right handbag to help make you the center of attention wherever you go.

My work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Craft Show, the Smithsonian Craft2Wear show, the Palm Beach Craft Show, the Washington Craft Show, the American Crafts Festival at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and this fall, will be seen at the Sausalito Arts Festival and the Western Design Conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Michelle Obama, Sandra Bullock, Kyra Sedgwick, Drew Barrymore and Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor have my work in their collections as well."

BLOGGY BIRTHDAY BASH !! -- POWERMAT REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY!!

POST #1 OF THE BLOGGY BIRTHDAY BASH AT PI OF PRODUCTS!!



... INTRODUCING POWERMAT!!

Powermat is a really neat company! It is a little mat that you plug in and there are different receivers that you put on electronics. There are ones for iPods, phones, etc. It is really neat! My family has a lot of electronics. Powermat sent me a Powermat that can charge up to three electronics at a time! She also sent me the receiver for a 3rd Gen iPod Touch, two iPod Docks, and the Powercube! The PowerCube has different pieces so that you can charge different things. This works for my sisters phone. It is really nice having this set up so that even when you are busy you can just walk by and drop your iPod, etc. on the mat and let it charge. There is a little light in front of where they charge for each one. The light turns off when it is fully charged. The mat is also magnetic so that it pulls the iPod into the correct charging position. This is a really excellent product!

Here is a picture of the products I received ...

Here is a little bit about how Powermat got started :
"

About Powermat - Our Story

Today, we live in what is fast becoming a wireless world, particularly in the handheld electronic device arena. Recharging without the tangle and hassle of wires is the next logical step in the continuing evolution of wireless devices. – Ran Poliakine, CEO Powermat

Powermat was established in 2007 in response to the explosion of electronic devices flooding today’s market and the growing need to provide a simple, smart, efficient and clutter-free approach for simultaneously powering multiple devices. Powermat allows users to enable their electronic devices once with a Powermat receiver and then set down up to three devices on the charging mat for safe and effective wireless charging. It’s simple, effortless, and provides consumers with first-of-its-kind freedom from the need to constantly plug/unplug as well as the angst of running on empty. Moreover, Powermat eliminates the tangle of wires that result from multiple cords overload; virtually eliminating ‘cord fatigue’ among consumers toting more and more “must have” gadgets.

The first company to not only perfect inductive-based wireless charging but to then bring it to consumers in a widely available, meaningful way via mainstream retail channels, Powermat pioneered the wireless charging category and currently leads the market in device compatibility, retail availability, technological advancement, consumer experience and brand.

Powermat’s proprietary technology delivers the speed, ease-of-use and intelligence that consumers demand from new technologies before adopting them on a wide scale. Powermat is also a ‘smart’ technology sensing when a device is fully charged and then halting power delivery at optimal charging capacity; effectively eliminating energy waste.

Featuring significant miniaturization of receiver electronics, superior ergonomic design, and receivers for the most popular smartphones on the market, Powermat is available in retail stores nationwide. Powermat products offer real life solutions for wireless energy transfer, setting the standard for all competing products.

Powermat technology will revolutionize the way we charge."

This is really nice! My Dad is always losing his cords to charge his iPod. And then he always borrows another cord from somebody else which they are not happy with because they do not want their cord lost! So this is really nice for my Dad. He uses one of the Docks for his iPod and the only way you can use it is with the Powermat so it is always there! Here are some pictures of my Powermat :
