PFTC Event ~ Fat Studio *Review & Giveaway*

Mmmmm, espresso. If you know me, you know I love coffee and anything even closely related to it. You may remember that I got a great espresso machine a couple of months ago. I was missing something though...great espresso cups!

I found an awesome Etsy shop called Fat Studio that makes tons of cool pottery pieces including espresso cups! I loved the funky look of the cups and thought they would be perfect. Well, I was lucky enough to have the chance to review some of these great cups. I couldn't decide between the orange and blue, so he sent me both!



The size is perfect, they don't get so hot that I can't hold them and the handmade and handpainted design makes them unique and fun.

Look at these other cool pieces he creates...




Fat Studio's pieces would make great Christmas presents or just be great to treat yourself too. I am loving my espresso cups and if you enjoy espresso, I think you would too!

In fact, how would you like to have some of these great espresso cups for yourself? Well, one of my readers will get themselves some espresso cups from Fat Studio too! See below for how to gain entries...

Jeremy Camp ~ We Cry Out: The Worship Project *Review*



I had the extreme pleasure of reviewing Jeremy Camp's latest album called We Cry Out: The Worship Project. I am a huge fan of Jeremy Camp. His tone, his musicality, but most of all of his incredible love of the Lord and joy in worshiping Him.

This album is (as it says) a Worship Project and he blends new songs with some older favorites. I love the song "Jesus Saves" from this album, that they are playing on the radio right now and often find myself walking around singing it. Not only that, but two of my favorite worship songs that have been done by other artists, "Mighty To Save" and "You Never Let Go", are also on the album.

We put the CD in one day when our family was doing some cleaning around the house and it just put everyone in a great mood. We were all singing to the songs we knew and enjoying the ones we hadn't heard before.

As usual, Jeremy Camp did not disappoint. As far as Christian artists go, he is one of my absolute favorites and this album just made me like him even more.

I highly recommend We Cry Out and am thankful to have had this opportunity to review this great album.

PFTC Event ~ Knitty Little Things - Review & Giveaway


Yes, it's true, the cold weather is quickly approaching. Why not look at it as a perfect reason to add something functional and extremely cute to your winter wardrobe? You know I had to take advantage of an opportunity like that!

I found an amazing shop on Etsy called Knitty Little Things. I was instantly smitten with the cowls and had to have one. I chose the cowl in Grass to review because I thought it would add a great punch of color to my gray and black pea coat. Well, it surely didn't disappoint! When I received it (wrapped up and looking very cute, I might add) I had to bust out my coat and try it out with it. It could not be cuter! I absolutely adore it! The color is great, the yarn is so soft and not at all itchy and I love the fact that I can pull it up over my head to protect my ears from the wind. What more could you ask for out of a fall/winter accessory?



Talie doesn't just make great cowls for her shop either, she also makes hats for infants, children and adults, along with some awesome accessories, gloves and handwarmers. The girl is super talented and I must admit I'm a little jealous of her skills. She's a total sweetheart too, which just makes it even more of a pleasure to own one of her creations!

There's only one problem with her cowls...I want more! I would love to get another color or a few to switch up the look of my winter coat and just add a little something extra to my winter accessories. They are just too cute!

Now, I know you've got to be wanting one for yourself and I'm happy to tell you that one of my lucky readers will win a cowl in the color of your choice! (Single color cowls only, please). See below for how to gain entries...

PFTC Event - Noodle Head Young Picasso Art Kit ~ Review & Giveaway


Fast approaching are those bone-chilling days where there's no snow yet to play in, so lots of kids (mine anyway) start spending less time playing outside than usual. What does that mean? Well around our house it means the dreaded phrase "I'm bored." starts being said far too frequently for my liking. I found a product that will totally come to your rescue when this situation arises!

Noodle Head Fun has a great art kit called the Young Picasso Art Kit.

Kit includes: one large stretched canvas and two small canvas boards that make wonderful framed gifts, superior acrylic paints and brushes, a plastic pallet for mixing colors, and a booklet introducing different art styles from famous artists, all in a box with plastic carrying handle.

This kit won Creative Child Magazine's Toy of the Year Award!



My kids love to paint and like to have their artwork displayed in our house and this is the perfect outlet for both of those things! Spread out some newspaper on the floor or kitchen table and let them be creative! Who doesn't want their children to explore their artistic side, right? This kit leaves your kids feeling proud and excited about their newest creation and just may buy you several quiet minutes to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee and a book. Ok, I know you've got to see the benefit in that!

The great people over at Noodle Head would like to offer one of these great art kits to one of my readers! See below for how to gain entries...

PFTC Event - BEARPAW Boots



When it starts getting cold outside, the first thing that starts getting cold on me is my feet. So, I naturally thought about what I'd like to snuggle my feet into during this chilly season that is upon us and the even colder one that lies ahead. I found exactly what I was looking for from BEARPAW!

I was sent their Victorian boots in Hickory and they are so cute! Not only are they cute, but I put them on and they are so snuggly and comfortable. I love that they can be worn two different ways (tall, with the button done up or folded over so the furry inside shows). They look so cute either under a pair of jeans or over a pair of skinny jeans. I just love them! Look how cute they are...


BEARPAW offers several styles of boots, moccasins, clogs, etc. and there are several more pairs I'd love to get ahold of. If you're looking for some comfy, snuggly footwear to keep your feet warm this Fall and Winter, look no further! BEARPAW has just what you need, so go to their website and check them out!
