Kids Toy Review and Giveaway
About Marble Racers (taken from an e-mail I received from the company) Light Up Marble Racers combine the racing excitement of mini-toy sports cars and the classic amusement of marbles to create a fun new toy for boys and girls 3 years of age and older. Kids customize their Marble Racers with themed, easy to use, crack & peel racing decals, race their creations on standard tracks, and then watch as the flashing LED marble rolls to keep pace with their speeding car. Light Up Marble Racers are the anti-video game: an old fashioned-type toy that gets kids away from the catatonic video game state, piques their creativity, and helps them to interact with other children. My Thoughts Marble racers: what fun my daughter and husband had together as they put together and raced their cars around. The decals were easy to place and come in many different styles which make it easy to find that specific car that fits your Childs personality. The marbles inside also light up into a … [Read more...]

Any Handmade Jewelry Item Review and Giveaway
About Adele (VintageKitschMagpie) I'm from the UK-North West to be precise. I live in a little seaside town, where nothing much happens! I work part time as a tutor. I like to paint and make jewellery in my spare time (which I have in abundance at the moment!) I started to make jewellery when I got fed up seeing the same designs in every shop. I wanted to wear something a little bit different. I mostly make necklaces, although I am hoping to start making some earrings in the near future. My name is a combination of the things I love. Anything kitsch and anything vintage. I am constantly on the look out for both of these, hence the name 'magpie'. I needed a name to sign up for Etsy, and I wish I had chosen more wisely..no one ever remembers the name! I am currently in the process of making some wooden, striped pendants. Sounds strange, but I think they will turn out great! I have also started to make some quirky pendants with pretty bows which are available on my facebook page. … [Read more...]
