After completion, girls will receive a head to toe box of style featuring 7 high-quality fashion selects of 5 ready to wear pieces, shoes, an accessory, and a free fun gift (everything from fidget spinners to iron patches to customize denim)! All for an average of $89.99 – an unparalleled value for the quality of the product inside and 2-3 head to toe looks! Giving back is part of the sprit of the holidays… kidpik has partnered with GOOD + Foundation where girls can choose to donate any unworn product instead of returning or exchanging items and give to families and children in need.

I love Paper crafting, so when offered this book, for review, I couldn’t turn it down.  Lily & Val make some awesome work.  And, this book is no exception to the rule.  I love all the cards, tags, coasters, menus & more available in this book. I’ve always loved Fox Chapel Publishing, and this book is not a let down, it’s right up there with the rest.  Fox Chapel Publishing is a great company, that only publishes great books. As papercrafting continues to grow in popularity, new ways to use this craft are expanding.  One of those areas is party planning.  McKeehan is making papercrafting fun and easy for the party planner.  McKeehan is the founder of Lily & Val, the gifts brand that offers endearing prints, darling greeting cards, and other goods that are decorated with gorgeous script and McKeehan’s signature chalk-style lettering.  She’s created a new book, Life of the Party Papercrafting, which includes cards, tags, coasters, menus, and much more.  All with her classic and sophisticated handwriting and illustrations imbued.

I love Cave Tools, and have most of their items.  This time is no different, and I got something pretty cool, the pellet tube wood smoker box.  I bought the pellets at our Home Depot, but they have them lots of places. The Pellet Tube Wood Smoker Box, works great on my grill.  It’s perfect, even.  I love the smell it lets off when the pellets are smoking, and the way the meat tastes, great.  I love this pellet smoker.  I’ll never use another one.  And, to put the pellets in, super easy! You, too, will love this, whether adding to your Cave Tools Collection, or starting a new collection.  It really is a superb item, and my family even gives it an A, for the way it makes the food taste.  Up to 8 hours you can use the same pellets. I never thought I could love an item so much.  But, it really has helped my grilling skills, and I’m the one that does the grilling around here.  And, feed a family of 6; including my parents, my kids, my wife and self. The 7 year old likes to pretend he’s helping me, but I don’t want him…
