Pictures in Lights



I really love lights like this one from Aostar. I have several sets from different companies but so far this is the first one that I have that has 40 clips on one string and comes with remote control. So easy to use just pop in 3 AAA batteries and you are ready to go. We have used sets like this one for displaying pictures, holiday cards through out the year, as well as birthday cards, and art projects. Our favorite is to use them to display photos of our family. 

One of the ideas we have this year is to attach this to our Christmas tree, clipping on photos, holiday cards, and gift cards for our family. Of course if you would like to see this please check out my instagram around Christmas for pictures. These are also great for parties for both lighting and to hang up pictures of those who are invited or remembering. They can be used inside and outside if covered, say under a tent. The span is 16.4 feet. Great for many arts & craft ideas.

What would you use these for? 

Below is video review done for me by my husband who didn't see the remote control included.

Lighting the way



I am so excited when ever I get something like this because they have so many uses. First and foremost for power loss. Great for the kids to use. No worrying about burnt fingers, fire, or wax drips. 

These are also great for the Holidays from lighting pumpkins to making luminaries. Not to mention lighting up the dinner table, or even the bathroom while you are trying to relax. 

A little mood music and some candles can go a long way in unwinding with your spouse.



Super easy to use just take out the tab and switch to on. I really love that these come with an on and off switch which means they last even longer. Batteries are replaceable with three button cell batteries each. If interested they are available below in 12 packs.

Binval Photo Clip String Lights



So excited to hang these up. For the Holiday we will hang our cards on them, then after the holidays we will use them for pictures, art work, etc. These remind me of one of my favorite shows where they use something like this to communicate with each other.

Easy to use just add 3 AA batteries per set this one comes with two sets with 15 clips on each string. It has a timer and several modes. I like the combination the best for the Holidays. Now to get some nails so we can hang these right. We have just moved in so not everything is here nor will it fit but I have certainly not seen any of my husbands tools so will have to pick up some small nails as tacks will not go into our walls without hammering them in. 

The Binval Photo Clips String lights can be found at my affiliate link below.

Decorating new Apartment



Having finally moved into our new apartment after being homeless for more then a year we are excited to be settling in and Decorating. One way we decorate is with new bedding, curtains, maybe new throw pillows, and of course the ever blank walls. With that we spruce those up with pictures, art, shelving etc.

One way to display all of those nick nacks and pictures are with floating shelves like these photo ledges from Better Homes and Gardens. These are in Brown Marble which you can use on either side for 2 different looks. They include all of the hardware you need to install these, just add your own screwdriver and you are ready to go. 

I am in love and can not wait to get these hung. Now to just get everything out of storage so we can get those photos up. The Better Homes and Gardens Brown Marble floating picture ledges can be found at my affiliate link below.

Easy to use Decorating Pen



This decorating pen is so easy to use compared to others I have used. My girls had wanted that toy decorating pen but we came across this after seeing all of the horror stories of the toy version and this can be used by everyone in the family.

This is so easy to use and clean. You just pull the plunger to fill the pen with your desired chocolate colors or even sauces for savory dishes, and you are ready to decorate.

Just squeeze the pen once full and start writing. It is really easy and is comfortable to use, not too big, not heavy, and works like writing with a thicker pen.

Our family loves this for decorating plates to make them extra special. Think Holidays, Birthdays, Anniversaries, etc. So that we can do all kinds of colors at one time I am picking up more to keep on hand for Christmas cookie decorating.



This decorating pen can be found on NewXshop.

Primitive Country Wood White Welcome Owl Sign




When decorating or planning a new look at lot can go into that from deciding on a design or theme to actually finding what you would like.

In this case I just wanted something nice for our door to our room, but after receiving this to review, I learned that our Church's new nursery will revolve around owls and other woodland creatures so I am going to donate this to them for the nursery door.

This was packaged well and in the right light looks more like the top picture then the picture I was able to get from my tablet. I just love the sparkly eyes on the owls. The sign is well made with a sturdy attached wire hanger.

This is a great addition for the owl lover in your family that would have been my late Aunt Anna. She just adored Owls they were everywhere in her home.

You can find the Primitive Country Wood White Welcome Owl Sign on Amazon.

Making over a old toss pillow



This pillow cover was the perfect way to update old throw pillows in our home to match our bedroom decor.

I love that this has pockets to keep our remotes in because they are always being misplaced around the room.

This cover would also be great in the living room but like I said we used ours in the bedroom over an old toss pillow which you can see in the picture.

Easy to stuff either with an old toss pillow or filler. Nice zipper that pretty much disappears once zippered.



This cover can be found on Amazon in two colors.


A custom designed throw pillow (cushion) cover made of jacquard fabric which has three pockets sewn on to the outside to accommodate storage for a variety of small gadgets and accessories (remote controls, cellphones, glasses, etc).  It's designed to fit over a standard size pillow (18in x 18in) and can easily be removed for washing.  The pillow insert is not included.

Self Adhesive Vinyl Roll



This is a follow up on products from Angel Direct You can see our other reviews for this product here and  here and on YouTube here.

This is a roll that fits right into your machine if you have one but can be cut and used without a machine as well. Great for making gifts, decor items, and crafts.

Easy to use with a machine or without, great results when you take your time.



You can find this Vinyl roll on Amazon.


What Angel Direct Products has to say about their product.

Angel Craft VINYL is made to last with premium quality and a strong 3 mil thickness. It is best used for INDOOR applications, but can also be used OUTDOOR depending on weather conditions. 

Once you order and it arrives to your home just remove the plastic wrapping and attach it to a roll feeder or use in Provo Craft CRICUTmachine or the Silhouette CAMEO / PORTRAIT die cutter or any other printer that you desire. 

After you have cut your designs you then can use the Angel craft Transfer Paper (sold separately) to easily align your design on the wall or other smooth surfaces. 

WHY 2 1/2 INCH CORE? 

Vinyl has memory, which means it will roll back up to its original position. However, with a larger & thick core it is less likely to roll back up as tightly compared to smaller cores. This IMPROVES "stability" and "cutting" on different roll feeders and vinyl cutting machines!!! 

Great for Home Decor, Weddings, Scrapbooking, Stenciling, Papercrafting, Signs, Windows, Glasses, Tiles, and so much more!

LED candle with moving wick


Our family loves candles but sometimes you want the glow without the fire. With a flameless candle you can have.

If you are like me you have seen the kind that look super fake, well this one by Maison Luxuries looks real right down to the moving wick. 

Awesome right? Plus how many real candles turn themselves off. None you say well this one does, you can see it for as long as you like with the handy remote that comes with it. I can not wait to see this up in my room once it is done being painted which is taking way much longer than I ever expected.

Fun for all ages





Chalk Markers are nice to have, no more chalk dust, but they can be a bit pricey. Beary Genius says that this 10 pack is Professional Quality. Not sure what makes someone a professional chalk drawer but hey it is what it says.

All I know is that they are easy to get started just press the tip in, shake , and then push onto a piece of papers, or chalk board until you see color then you are ready to draw or write.



Fun for home, the office, or school. Think Teacher gift. Can be used on glass, chalk boards, wipe off boards and other surfaces, just test in a small area to make sure it will come off just in case. My children love to draw on their windows or the front door with these for the Holidays. Once the Holiday is over just a few swipes and they can start drawing for the next Holiday.

You can purchase Beary Genius 10 pack Chalk Markers on Amazon.

What Beary Genius has to say about their product. 

10 artist-grade premium liquid chalk markers made with the finest 6mm durable reversible tips
The unique 6mm reversible tips are a must for any serious crafter:  The round tip end creates bold strokes, and the chisel tip end generates sharp patterns and adds shapes to your art.
Illuminate your message or artwork with nontoxic, water-based, dustless, vibrant neon ink
Comes with 8 grams of vibrant neon ink per marker — twice as much as in most other chalk markers    
Can be used to create school projects, menu boards, birthday greeting cards, signs, and more

Heart Wall Decal Kit



Vinyl Disorder is one of my favorite places to go for wall decals. They have from everyday decals to more Holiday Themed decals like these Valentines Decor Decals. My girls took a few of each color for their rooms. These are awesome if you ask me, when you tire of them you can just peel them off and replace with something else you like. 

Vinyl Disorder had lots of wall decals to pick from. You can even have custom decals made. I can not wait till I have some extra cash because I have a few ideas I want to get made up. 

You can purchase the same decals above here.

HotelSpa® Ultra-Luxury 7-setting LED Hand Shower with Temperature Sensor



Recently my bathroom got a mini makeover with a new shower head, liner, and rings. I am thankful for the little things in life and a nice shower is one of them.

What I love about this shower and it is something we show people when they come over is the LED lights. For me I now know my children can take a shower and they know that green is safe while red is too hot for them. Personally My shower flickers from red to green for it to be just right for me, but everyone has a different temperature they like to take their showers at.

This is a great for children who are just learning to take their own showers that way you know they shouldn't burn themselves. Great product for home or hotel. I can see why hotels might want to put this in their business. It lets their customers know when it is safe to take a shower and when it isn't. The one thing I love about hotels is their never ended hot water for showers or baths.
