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.
I am so excited about this giveaway!! I’ve been eyeing the LeapFrog Tablet for awhile now. And I love that you have a cash option too. Go enter for your chance to win!!
My friend Rebekah Speakman sells chocolate…yes that’s right she’s a chocolatier. I had no idea they even had such things and then a friend invited me to her Dove Chocolate Discoveries party. I wasn’t sure I had heard right….a party….with chocolate….to taste! I was there. I was also pregnant at the time so it was a perfect match. The party was so much fun. We got to try all sorts of yummy goodies like chocolate fondue, chai tea mix, a smoothie, chocolate mousse, and some other things. I was in heaven! I had told myself when I went that I wasn’t going to buy anything but I ended up buying a mousse pack and the chai tea. I’m telling you this stuff is good. I love the Dove chocolate they sell in the stores and this is even better! If you live in the area you totally need to have a party with Rebekah and try this stuff for yourself! You will not be sorry you did, plus you’ll get all sorts of goodies for free, and who doesn’t love free chocolate, right?
When I told her about the giveaway series on my blog she was willing to be a part. She gave me White Chocolate Raspberry Daiquiri Mix and a sea salted caramel. I was excited to try the daiquiri mix (minus the rum since I am nursing and all) since I wondered what chocolate would be like in a daiquiri but it was amazing! Really yummy and I even shared with my 7 year old and he loved it! You just mix it with some ice and lemon lime soda in the blender, well and rum if you are making it that way. It tasted heavenly. You could barely even taste the chocolate…just enough to know it was there and the raspberry was really yummy.
My favorite, however, was the sea salted caramel! I popped that one into my mouth right away and it was so, so, so good! I love the salty, sweet taste of it. A package of those would make a great Christmas gift for teachers, family, whoever you have to give gifts to this season.
Now that I’ve piqued your interest I’m sure you are asking what do we win this week. Well, Rebekah is giving away 2 Daiquiri Mix Packets and 10% off your order! Enter below.
Congratulations to Jessie Bates who won the Cakes with Jaz giveaway!! She was also one of the winners in the Usborne Books giveaway! I promise I am using rafflecopters random picking. She’s just good at getting all her entries in.
This week was going to be Dove Chocolate Discoveries but I forgot to get the 7 Up I needed to try the margarita mix. LOL So we are going to do the Savoring Living Water book giveaway this week.
If you have been reading my blog you know that I have recently found and love the Do Not Depart blog. It has tons of info on Bible study and memorization. I am currently slowly working on their Abiding Fruit study as part of Maximize your Mornings and loving it! I am also getting ready to start their Hiding His Word in My Heart challenge and was originally going to do Philippians but since I’ve been spending so much time in 1 John I’m thinking of memorizing that instead.
I kept hearing about this great book that they had written called Savoring Living Water and wanted to see if I could get a copy to give away to you my readers. Well, ask and you shall receive! Then I asked my hubby if I could buy a copy for myself and he said sure. I’ve now read it and I love it. Many of you may not know this but I have my Bachelors of Ministry in Theology, so I do have some experience in Bible Study techniques. However, I still found their book very enlightening and helpful. It is so encouraging and will give you practical step by step instructions for deepening your time in the Word.
And for every purchase of the ebook they will donate $2 to oneverse to translate the Bible into the native language of the Vidunda people. These people are without a single Bible in their language. Every 13 copies sold pays for the translation of one verse! Wouldn’t it be cool if The Craft Home readers bought enough books to sponsor a few verses!!
I am so excited to be giving away a copy of this!! Just use the rafflecopter below to enter. A winner will be randomly chosen next Monday.
Every week this fall I will be featuring a home based business and giving away something to you my readers!! This is going to be so awesome. So far it looks like I will have Cakes with Jaz, Sew Cute Designs, Gourmet Cupboard, Dove Chocolate, Beachbody, The Modest Mom, Scentsy, Pampered Chef, Tupperware, and Usborne. I’m still working on getting some of these lined up and even more!! So check back every Monday or better yet sign up for the RSS feed or via email on the sidebar so you don’t miss a thing.
The first giveaway in the series is from my business with Usborne Books and More. I have been a consultant for about two years now and I love it! At the beginning of the year I promoted to supervisor and it has been a great business through all of my children. I love books and have kids so it was the perfect fit. Plus the fact that there are no monthly minimums and I am a consultant for life was a huge selling point since then I don’t have to worry about stuff while I am pregnant or after birth, ect. My kids love Usborne books and love to help me pack the bags when I get books ready to deliver.
This is our mission statement: ”The future of our world depends on the education of our children. UBAM delivers educational excellence one book at a time. We provide economic opportunity while fostering strong family values. We touch the lives of children for a lifetime.” One of our taglines is “Books Kids Love to Read.” And time and time again I see this to be tree. I have tons of customers who have told me their kids wouldn’t read anything until they got them some Usborne books. They are colorful and engaging with knowledge in bite sized chunks. I love our books!!
I specifically want to show you two of the books in a new drawing series. They are great for Christmas gifts and I am giving away the Drawing Pirates and Drawing Princesses but we also have Drawing Dinosaurs and Drawing Horses. They have great plastic covers and are super sturdy with stickers, papers, instructions, stencils, scenes to draw on, and some info on the topic to learn in the back. The girl ones (horses and princesses) even snap and have a handle so they look like a purse. They retail for $14,99 a piece. When I pulled them out of the box my kids were ooohing and ahhing and it was all I could do to keep them away from them. Needless to say they will be getting them for Christmas. So without further ado here is a short picture tour through the books.
Starting with Drawing Princesses because we all know that girls go first. :)
So there are the great books! In addition to giving away a copy of each of those, if you host a catalog, online, or regular party and it reaches $200 in October you will be entered in a drawing for the Very First Reading Set. So far there is only one person entered! You don’t want to miss out. Here is a picture and description of the set.
Very First Reading Set
Usborne Very First Reading is an exciting series of fifteen books for children who are just starting to learn to read. It offers:
