Carefree Crafts Review!! My thoughts on Carefree Crafts – I was so excited to receive a Carefree Crafts Kit to review and let me tell you, so were my kids! The idea of just having the mailman simply drop off your crafts is amazing! Carefree Crafts makes is extremely simple for you or someone you know to simply start craft time!

Color Time Crafts Review and Giveaway! Ends 4/11/13!

420-Easter-GoodiesTote

My Thoughts on Color Time Crafts Kids love to color. Usually I run around my house saying "only on the paper" and, "We only color on paper, remember?" This was one of the first times ever that I was able to say, "Color your shirt and have fun!" My daughter is currently about to finish up her first year in Girl Scouts. She is a Brownie this year and has enjoyed every minute of it! When I seen that Color Time Crafts had Girl Scout Tee's, tote bags and pillow cases I was blown away. This was the perfect item to get my crafty daughter! My daughter was able to review a Color Time Crafts Brownie T-shirt. It came with three permanet fabric markers that would add some life to her own creation. She literally colored on this shirt for hours. She strategically planned what color she was going to put where and what designs she was going to add to this fun shirt. I loved watching her creative juices flow and now she has a custom creation she can wear time and time again. Color Time … [Read more...]

Beam N Read Review and Giveaway – 10 Winners!!

002donme

My Thoughts on Beam N Read I am an avid reader. Each night I love cuddling up in bed with a good book. The only down fall is my hubby does not like it. It is hard for him to sleep when I have the table lamp on. This has been an ongoing battle since we were married. I have tried those lights that clip to books and such but to be honest they just become more of a hassle then they are worth. Recently I was sent a Beam N Read for the purpose of this review. I was so excited to try it out because it finally gave me something that would help me to read at night with out keeping my husband awake. The Beam N Read goes around your neck and as soon as you flip the light out it starts to shine. You have the option of turning on 3 lights or 6. The 3 light option works best when I am trying to read and is dim enough for my husband. There is also light covers that help to dim the light for him. I can use the light with the regular clear cover or I can put a red or orange cover over the light. It … [Read more...]

Glow Crazy Distance Doodler Review!

My Thoughts on Glow CrazyDistance DoodlerThe first time that I seen Glow Crazy Distance Doodler advertised on TV I knew that it would be a perfect gift for my daughter. I was right!I was sent a Glow Crazy Distance Doodler for the purpose of this review. When it arrived I did not expect it to be a last forever and use over and over type of toy. I honestly thought that when you drew something on it that it would be there forever, thus making the kit finished after one use. I especially thought this because the price is $24.99 and that is usually the price for a one time use craft kit. But, I was wrong! The Glow Paper can be used again and again! I can't believe how easy this entire process is! All I had to do was hang up the paper on the wall! Then I put four AAA batteries into the pen and that was all it took!I first hung the paper in the garage because I knew that it would be nice and dark in there. Then I got all of the kids and showed them how “magic” I was. They were in … [Read more...]
