Mini Crafters

Do you have a little "crafter" at home??

 If you do, then have I found a cool item for you!!  I would have loved this so much as a child, wait who am I kidding I still want it (my birthday is in November ;) )

They are called Kiwi Crates,and for $19.95 you have a new crate filled with crafts delivered to your door each month.

The crates come in different themes, such as dinosaurs, gardening, colors....
They are designed by parents and experts, and each crate has been kid tested!!  You can choose your subscription length (3, 6, 12), and then sit and wait for the doorbell to ring:)  How exciting!!  Everyone loves mail, and how nice is it to get something that both you and your kids will agree on.  The crates are educational, but still so fun!!

Head over and check them out!!!

They are a great gift for that grandchild let lives out of town, or a sick child in the hospital!!...or a 35 year old blogger:)

Love, Love Love...

There are so many things that I want right now, that I thought it was time for one of my love, love, love...posts:)



Love 1= A Storybook Pendant from Kayce Jones Designs.  Her stuff is all beautiful, and handmade by a mom of two.  This one however is my favorite.  I plan on ordering one very soon...like today:)

Love 2=  Child's Own Studio.  This is a website where children's drawings are turned into stuffed animals.  I love this so much.  My son is still a little young to create anything but scribbles, however I was thinking of making something for him.

Love 3= Design A Mosaic.  With Mother' s and Father's day coming up, I thought this was a great idea to share.  You choose a main image (the one that you want to see), and then you send a bunch of your home photos to them.  They take your photos and arrange them, so they make up the main image.  So cool!!!  Now just to decide what image we want to do...

Give a Little Bit!!!

Why not buy gifts that help others in the process??

Head over to St Jude. to shop for everyone on your list!  I buy their ornaments every year, and they are amazing!!  The art is done by their patients. Some of my favorite ornaments are from St. Jude.  I have also given them as gifts, and they have been a big hit.

They also have items for everyone else on your list, and 100% of the profits go to the children!!  How cute are the clocks??  And you can never have too many teddy bears!! 

You can even buy yourself a little something in the process:) Like a Juicy Ipad case...

Here is the link to their 2011 holiday catalog.  Head over and finish your holiday shopping today!!

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch...

I am in the process of redecorating my son's bathroom, so I have been searching for towels rugs etc.. I came across these yesterday, and thought what a great gift idea!!

Who doesn't like the Grinch???!

There is also a Cindy Lou one:)

They are from Kohls, and are on sale today (their whole site is on sale today and tomorrow 11/18 & 11/19). I have been told to wait until the "Power Hours" to buy them. During the Power Hours they mark everything down an additional percentage. The Power Hours are: 11/18- 2pm- midnight cst (online) & 3pm-11pm your local time (in store). 11/19- 12am- 3pm cst (online) & 7am- 1pm your local time (in store).

Fa La la la la la.....

I know most of you will want to kill me for already posting a holiday item, but if you want to give them as a gift I figured you should order them now.

This is a great gift or item to buy yourself, if you have someone celebrating Christmas for the first time. It comes with all of the tools to create a hand print ornament. What a great baby's first ornament...their little hand!! (I guess if their foot is small enough you could do that instead). It also comes with a pine seed, so you can plant a tree to grow along with your child. How cool would that be to one day use that tree as your Christmas tree??

Cha-ching!!!

This is one of my favorite baby shower gifts. I give everyone the large bank. Although it is a bit more pricey, it is so worth it. These pigs really stand out in your child's room. The site has a lot of masculine design options too. I love personalized gifts, because I feel like they last forever. When I use things with my son, I think of the person that gave us that gift.
