Now, I have no idea what the place is like now, but I grew a very large fondness for these characters, Taz mostly, Saturday morning cartoons probably helped a lot too.

Holiday Party Supplies, decorating, DIY ideas Beaucoup Giveaway

November 26, 2010 By 182 Comments

My family is out right now shopping for a new Christmas tree, and light fixtures so we can hang the lights outside the house. I’m at home, because I hate going out this time of year. That’s why I’m so excited about all of these online stores I find out about while blogging. Last year, through a blog campaign with The Family Review Network, I was introduced to Beaucoup.

beaucoup holiday itemsBeau-coup has all kinds of goodies for everyone on your nice list including personalized Hershey’s chocolates that will satisfy that sweet tooth, custom fortune cookies to liven up a holiday soiree, tea sachets to ward off the chill, and of course plenty of favor packaging like mini spice jars, and favor boxes wrapped in personalized ribbon to make the wrappings as pretty as your Christmas party favors inside!

They have so much stuff it almost difficult to choose something. They sent me a few things to review and it really got me into the Holiday Season. Thinking of the Holiday Season makes me think of Zoe, she’s been singing, “it’s the Holiday Season..do do doot do.” And I have no idea where she learned the words. I can only imagine it was in the car on the radio, because I don’t think they sing that at school or in church.

Anyways, out of the items that Beaucoup sent me, my favorite was the glass Christmas tree.

Glass Christmas Tree with Ornaments

It is beautiful details like this that just capture my attention. I love how this glass Christmas Tree reflects the light, and how small it is. It sits nicely on my fireplace mantle. The Mini Glass Christmas Tree also can be ordered with different ornaments than the one you see in my photo. Remember, Beau-Coup should also be considered for Do It Yourself Ideas. Beaucoup has an extensive DIY section and video section as well.

Personalized Deck of Cards Things Remembered Giveaway

November 19, 2010 By 117 Comments

This year thanks to Things Remembered I was able to get my husband something extra special for Christmas. Don’t worry, I’m not ruining the surprise because I already gave it to him. We love to play cards together, our favorite game being Canasta. We can play for hours taking turns just decimating each other. We have a hard time not going for the huge jackpot, but it’s when the other one is being sneaky and goes out early without going all in, that one of us gets in trouble and ends up in the negative. So, I knew that a personalized deck of cards and matching case would be the perfect gift for him.

The cards are a great quality and we had a ton of fun playing. The only difficulty in playing with these is that you have to remember that hearts and diamonds are red and spades and clubs are black. But that only pertains to games that are color dependent.

Things Remembered Mother’s Day Giveaway

April 22, 2010 By 319 Comments

 

When thinking of what to get mom for Mother’s Day, personalized items are high on the list. Making something personal, or by hand is always loved by mom, adding a photo or just the right words makes any gift very personal. I’ve been working with Things Remembered since I started blogging. They provided me a necklace last year for Mother’s Day and when they asked me if I wanted to work with them again this year, I said yes, I would love to.

Last Year I received The Story Charm for Mother’s Day from Things Remembered:

The Story CharmGirl's May Birthstone Angel Necklace with FREE Keepsake Box

Give the gift that tells her story! Our exclusive silver-plated charms are the perfect gift to celebrate her life. Choose the charms that give voice to her love for family and friends, her special achievements, her hobbies, her passions–everything that make her the woman she is. Personalize each charm with memorable names and dates, favorite quotes–all the words of her unique story. Our charms look fabulous on our special bracelet with toggle clasp or on our diamond-cut ball chain necklace.

Their jewelry is sterling silver and they do make a few gold pieces as well. Gifts can be customized for any event, engagement, wedding, birthday, graduation, the sky is the limit here. It comes out beautiful and easy to read. It doesn’t fade over time because it’s engraved.

I also received a personalized item for Christmas that my husband and I decided to donate.

Things Remembered (40)

 

This year Things Remembered has two items they wish to recommend for Mother’s Day.

-Customizable Music Box – Did mom sing to you as a child? Relive those memories with a gift of song. A new collection of customizable music boxes plays clips of actual artist recordings – complete with lyrics, instruments and vocals – making them different from traditional music boxes that merely play a tune. One fitting option for Mother’s Day is the classic “I Just Called to Say I Love You” by Stevie Wonder.

musicbox

-Sterling Silver Miracle of Life Necklace – The moment her children were conceived, she thought of each as a miracle. This beautifully detailed sterling silver necklace features an embracing mother and child figurine within a sparkling cut-out crystal heart. The pendant swings in front of a solid hart pendant, which can be engraved with a special message.

  thingsrememberd

Out of these two options I would prefer the necklace. So guess what, Things Remembered is offering one of my readers the Sterling Silver Miracle of Life Necklace.

In addition to the giveaway:

Want you and your kids to be featured in a Things Remembered e-mail? In addition to my giveaway, Things Remembered is asking moms to submit their favorite family photo, along with an engraving they’d pick to go with it on a picture frame. Ten moms will receive free personalized frames, and the best photo/engraving will be featured in a Things Remembered e-mail! http://bit.ly/ciO8nY

Personalized Mothers and Fathers Day Gifts by Initials Giveaway

April 15, 2010 By 171 Comments

Initials, inc, a wonderful company that personalizes all items that are sold. Initials sent me a huge tote that I was able to personalize. I love it! It is so big it could hold one of the kids. Look at it:

 

Initials

It’s almost as big as the chair! I put Mom Start on it in big pink letters. It’s my only personalized bag and I can’t wait to tote it around at conferences and at the beach when I go visit my mom in Florida this year. Woo Hoo, I’m going to be on the beach. 

 

 

Initials_Bag 

The kids have already put some toys in it.

 

initials_bag1

Part of the appeal of Initials is that they are a company that moms can work part time. It’s like Party-Lite, you can throw parties to sell the bags, and other personalized items. I mean, the items pretty much sell themselves because of how cute they are. The fonts are adorable and add just the right touch to pretty much any regular item.

A little bit about Initials, Inc:

Initials, Inc. was founded by Sisters – Britney Vickery and Ivy Hall shortly after becoming SAHM’s. During that time they loved being home with their children but found that they were seeking three things; to be challenged creatively, to have time around other adults and to be able to contribute financially to their homes…but they didn’t want to give up time with their young families to get it. Initials, Inc. was created to meet those needs as women and new mothers. Over time, they quickly realized that the solution that they created for themselves could be a blessing to other women. Initials, Inc. officially launched in February 2005. Today, Initials, Inc. is national in scope and is supporting women and families all across the country through home parties selling their customer designed personalized treasures!

-We believe, “There’s Only One You!” and that is embodied by the products and opportunities offered to our customers and our Creative Partners.

Enter to Win:

A $50.00 gift certificate that can be applied toward your own Resort Tote, or toward any other product of your choice in the catalog.

Interior Design – Decorating my Son’s room with The Studio Danielson Designs

January 21, 2010 By 15 Comments

danielsondesignslogo Back in June when right before my life was turned upside down with buying and selling a house Danielson Designs offered to send me a personalized wall plaque. I said yes and right after that everything went crazy. We sold our house and I had to pack it up as soon as it arrived, I was very sad because it deserved to be hung up immediately.

Now that I’ve been in my house for over four months I have realized that I haven’t gotten to decorating anything. Putting up the tree and a few nicknacks was all we did for Christmas and after taking all the decorations down the house looked too empty. Too Plain!

With completely blank walls staring back at me, I was terrified to put a  brand new nail hole in the wall. These are virgin walls don’t you know! The inspiration to start putting holes in my walls came from my Christmas present. For Christmas I received a bunch of picture frames. My husband picked them out and filled them with photos. So then I just had to put a hole in the wall.

Since we were finally courageous enough to start putting holes in the wall we decided that we could hang up the plaque in Mile’s room.

danielsondesigns

Miles Elliot, “You will always be LOVED. ALL THE WAY to the moon & back!” These words are so true. My kids are my world. Now, I’m not where near done decorating the house or deciding what to put where. This is in Mile’s room above the changing table. It’s the only thing on the wall for now, and it’s centered horizontally between the window and the closet and centered vertically between the ceiling and the changing table. My husband has the laser leveler and loves using it. He’s actually a little OCD if you know what I mean. But we still love him. So it was a project we did together. I told him where and he did the hanging.

I realize now I should have taken another photo of the entire wall so you could get a little more perspective but at least you can see how nice the plaque looks. It’s solid wood with the design painted on. I love it. I’m very grateful for the free product that The Studio Danielson Designs sent me.

The Studio ships orders in 48 hours and designing is done is 3 easy steps. First, you choose a product template from their extensive gallery. I chose the Child’s Name Sign that retails for 39.95. You can watch the demo if you want but it’s so easy. Second step is to change the text that you are allowed to personalize and or choose the color option you want. The third step is to save design and add to cart. Easy!

They have Personalized Plaques, personalized picture frames, personalized awards, and personalized monograms. It took me a long time to decide, but since I was still in my old house the only room I could think we needed something in was Mile’s. Now, I need something for my own room.

They sent me this free product with no expectations of posting. They just “hoped” I would like it enough to post about it, and I do!!!
