We could always use ideas for Stocking Stuffers, so where better to get them, than here.  These are all great ideas.  I always liked when my mom would put a drink in our stocking, and a treat.  That way, when we were opening presents, we had something at our fingertips.  It was the perfect idea, that I carried on for my children.  And, I do stockings for 13 children/adults, so these will all be in our stockings! I’m going to start with the great Sparkling Ice.  If you’ve never had Sparkling Ice, you are missing out.  There is a huge variety of flavors, and they are so inexpensive.  You can even buy them in a family pack, at Walmart.  This would make a great stocking treat, for any aged child/adult. The Welch’s Fruit Rolls, oh my goodness.  These are delicious, and taste just like the leading brand.  They are fabulous.  You could open the box, and put one in each stocking, or two, depending on the size of your family.  My husband ate the entire box, the last time I bought them.  Yeah, he loves them, and so will your family. The Carrington Farms Chia Seeds, go to my sister. …

We watched The Glass Castle the other day, and it was fantastic.  I really like Woody Harrelson, and adore Naomi Watts, so this was a no brainer, for me, to watch.  And Brie Larson played an exceptional role.  Even my 20 year old, daughter, got into watching it.  She said she will have to read the book next.  She always loves to compare the book to the movie.   An all-star cast shines in this inspiring film based on THE NEW YORK TIMES best-selling memoir. Jeannette (Oscar® winner Brie Larson) had a poor but wildly adventurous childhood, raised by her free-spirited father (Oscar® nominee Woody Harrelson) and her mother (Oscar® nominee Naomi Watts), an eccentric artist. But when her father’s behavior become erratic, Jeannette must find the courage to live on her own terms in this uplifting story of unconditional love. The story line is super.  You will really enjoy this movie.  And, it’s a Real Life Drama.

Canvas On Demand is a great company to order your Custom Canvas Prints from.  I received mine the other day, and I must say I am most pleased.  My 20 year old, daughter, and 6 year old, son, look fabulous.  The picture turned out better than I had hoped, on the enlarged Canvas. You can even get Canvas to color.  I forgot to order mine, but I’m sure it would’ve been great.  I love Canvas On Demand, and know how well our Canvas Picture turned out.  I’ve never been more pleased with a canvas photo.  The pixels are perfect, the backing is wonderful, and the canvas is superb!  I want to keep it, but I actually had it made for my mom, whose birthday is Christmas Eve. Whether you need one picture, or multiples, I would definitely suggest Canvas On Demand.  The photo is so clear, and the colors are so bold.  I love it.  My kids both wore red, that’s why I say the colors are bold.  They turned out just as I had hoped.

The Star Shower Laser Magic Slide Show is amazing.  My husband put it out, just last week, and we are now all decorated for Christmas.  My kids, ages 20, and 6, love it.  My 20 year old said “It’s so much nicer than those boring lights dad normally puts up”.  My 6 year old is in aww over the colors, and designs.  We were surprised at how well it still works in the rain.

We love the Window Wonderland!  The projector stays inside, so no one takes it, out of your yard.  And, the screen is inside as well.  The screen measures 4 foot, by 6 foot.  It’s the perfect size for a picture window. Window Wonderland has a fantastic deal going on right now.  You buy Window Wonderland, and get a second one 50% off.  That’s so great.  You really need to get one for you and as a gift for someone else.  They will love it.

You can set it to whichever movie you want, and change the movie as often as you want.  The projector is so sleek.  It’s almost not noticeable, in your house.
