I was selected to review Pirate Party Games from Python. These are super cute games for all sorts of Pirate Parties. You could use them for a kid’s birthday party or even an adult birthday party or even just a get together that you wanted to have Pirate themed. It comes with tons of downloadable files that you can use time and time again. This is a great feature when you have four kiddos who will probably eventually all want a pirate party. I also really liked the fact that they had it in a black and white format and a color format. They are well drawn and very cute. I would definitly recommend them and will look at the companies other products. Make sure you go check them out for any party you are throwing. They even have baby shower and mother’s day products out.

Balloon Pirate Craft For Kids
Facebook Pirate Language Game

A friend of mine, the queen of direct sales, recently started selling Jamberry Nails. I bought some from her when she first started and was running a contest and I’ve been hooked ever since! They are awesome!! I never did my nails before because the polish would never dry and with four kids it was impossible. I love Jamberry nail shields. I can do a nail and then change a diaper, then do two more and change another diaper. Or I can wait until the kids are asleep and get them done in just about 15 minutes and they are on for two weeks!!
If you haven’t heard of them yet they are heat and pressure activated nail shields. You may have seen something similar from Sally Hensen but these are different. They last quite a bit longer and you can get way more use out of a set. I’ve heard the Sally ones are all one size and these come in a variety of sizes. I’m telling you they are awesome and so worth the money!!
I just put on some Multicolored Chevron ones two nights ago and took pictures (which wasn’t easy, some I took with my nose LOL) to share with you all how to put them on. Jamberry also has a video and each pack comes with instructions. I will tell you the first couple times there is a learning curve but it gets easier. They never looked bad in the beginning just took me longer. Now I’m a pro.
The first thing to do is gather all your supplies. You will need a hair dryer, nail polish remover, cotton balls, cuticle pusher, scissors, and nail file.
Next shape your nails, clean them all with nail polish remover, and buff the tops lightly. You just need something for the shield to adhere too.
Next push back your cuticles. I have a cuticle pusher with a rubber end. I live it. Makes it nice so you don’t hurt yourself, which I am prone to do.
Next pick out which shields you want, well you probably already would have done that. Here is what a sheet of nails looks like.
Sorry couldn’t get the picture to flip. Anyway, next step is to choose the correct size for your nail. This part gets easier has time goes on because now I know which one fits each nail. After you pick it you need to cut the length to fit the nail while it is still on the backing. I kind of cut around it a bit so I can get a good measurement.
Next you peel it off of the backing by the top edge and just hold the corner of it. You don’t want all your oils all over the adhesive.
Then you blow dry the adhesive part for 10-15 seconds. It will get all limp.
Now place onto your nail starting at the middle by the cuticle and working your way out so as to have no bubbles. Make sure to use lots of pressure has this is what adheres it to the nail.
After you have pressed it down and made sure to get the edges and the tip cut it close to the nail. This is the hardest part so be patient. It does get easier.
Next heat again with blow dryer for 10-15 seconds. Then press it really good and make sure to get a good seal on the nail edge.
Now you are going to take the nail file and file the end off to seal it on the end of your nail. Make sure to go in a straight downward motion. This is what it will look like when it’s getting close to being done. All that excess will come off when you are finished.
Next I heat it again and then press it real good again. I’m not sure this is required but I just like to double check it is on good.
Then do the same with the rest of your nails. Here are what mine looked like finished.
And here is what I have left over after doing both hands. You may be wondering why I kept the middle parts but I keep them to do toes or little girls nails. I’ve even seen where someone uses them for french tip. Oh and on your toes they last up to 6 weeks.
Now I know you are dying to try them out for yourself. So my wonderful consultant Rebekah is giving away a sheet!!! A sheet is normally $15 and you get at least two uses out of it but probably more. Plus right now they are buy 3, get 1 free. That’s how I’ve been buying mine that way they are less per sheet. I have an open party right now so if you order from it you will get an extra 25 entries in the drawing for a free sheet!! Just go to Rebekah’s website and when you checkout choose The Crafty Home for the party. They will ship right away, directly to you.
This song makes me cry. It makes me think of the older married couples I have known who have stuck with each other until the very end and it makes me want to make it with my husband. To think of all the memories and times we will have shared. Today I heard this song and it made me realize how awesome my husband is and how thankful I am that I get to grow old with him. He is such an amazing man and my very best friend. I am so blessed!
All day I’ve been racking my brain for something to post for Women in The Word Wednesday and then I heard that song and this verse came to me:
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 – “9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! 11 Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? 12 And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
Do you express your thankfulness to your husband that you are together? Do you help to lift him up when he falls? How can you express your love to your husband today? Don’t take him for granted. God has given him to you. What a blessing!
Women around the world are IN THE WORD! Go to today’s link up post and read all the other great posts today.
I am addicted to pinterest! There I said it. I pin and pin and pin all sorts of great ideas, meals, crafts, tips…..BUT I never do them. I know a lot of you are in the same boat and that is why I am starting Pinterest Tuesdays. The goal is to try a new recipe, project or tip you learned on pinterest every week and blog about it. If you don’t have a blog leave me a comment telling me about it. If you have a blog make sure to add it to the link up and in your post put a link to my page so people can come back here and check it all out and go to other people’s blogs too. You’ll have until the next week to add yourself to the link up and then we will start a new one. I’m excited to see what everyone is doing and to get some stuff done for myself too.
So for our very first Pinterest Tuesday I gave the ammonia/zip lock bag method of cleaning the drip trays a try. I found it here. All you have to do is take your pans and put them in a zip lock bag with 1/4 cup of ammonia overnight. The fumes break down the gunk and viola you have new shiny pans. I was a bit sceptical but I thought I’d give it a try.
Here are my drip trays before.
I know they are disgusting. And yes I have orange counter-tops….you know you want to rock the 70s look too! They are so hard to clean I’d just given up. Here is the one that was the worst.
And here are my drip pans and the electric coils themselves all ready for their overnight fume spa.
The next morning I was surprised and saddened all at the same time. I was hoping for super sparkly, beautiful new looking pans and this I did not get. But I was surprised by how clean they did get. I am thinking another night or two of this and they may actually be clean. In the picture above you can see that the middle of the electric coil thingies have a blue label, well one of them was completely covered in black. I just thought it was supposed to be that way. LOL Here are the after pictures.
See this is the one that was the worst and while it is not super shiny you can tell a lot of junk came off. I’ll be doing this again as soon as I get some more zip lock bags and I will make sure to post an update so you can see if further fume spas help. Here are all of them.
Overall I am happy to have found this tip and tried it out. Now it’s your turn. Link to your blog post about a pinterest project you have actually done and read fellow link ups. Make sure to post back to this blog post in your post so others can add on to the linky. If you don’t have a blog leave me a comment with what you did or plan to do and don’t forget to follow me on Pinterest.
