This is one of the biggest and hardest puzzles I have been involved in putting together! My mom had received it as a gift shortly after discovering her love for puzzles. After several smaller ones, this 1500 piece project by Trefl was the challenge she wanted. As you can see from the photo, it is a nature scene, a beautiful picture of Banff National Park in Canada. I have not done very many jig...

Last year I got these cookie cutter as a birthday gift. I was so excited to start using them that I dumped them on the floor and started figuring out what they all were. Thank goodness there was a shape guide with names of what everything was on the cover of the bucket or I would have never figured out what everything was. There area total of 100 cutters in this bucket, but some are the same sh...

This 6-piece cookware set consists of the following: Large 8 quart stockpot with a glass lidSteamer insert to the stockpotMedium covered saucepan with a glass lidLarge sauté panMy favorite and the most often used part of the set is the big stockpot with the steamer insert. The steamer works great. I steam vegetables, meat, stuffed peppers, you name it. Everything turns out soft, tender, ...

I love perfume sets like this one. Estee Lauder is a rather expensive brand for me to buy, so I would think twice - no, ten times - before buying a full-size bottle of their perfume. This set of five mini-bottles gives me a perfect chance to try five different Estee Lauder fragrances. It is not cheap, either, but I get five instead of one, and if I don't like either one of them, it is ...

I purchased Tramontina Stainless Steel Tri-Ply Clad 8 Piece Cookware Set to go with my new Maytag ceramic cooktop range.  It had the heavy-clad construction and perfectly flat bottom that my range manufacturer recommended.  Overall I have found this to be excellent cookware. The Tri-Ply clad construction distributes heat throughout the pot or the pan, so it heats from all sides, not j...

You get a lot for your money when you buy this luggage set: for only around $50, you have three larger rolling bags and two smaller ones. The large bags have retractable handles as well as regular suitcase-like handles on the side, so you can both pull and carry them. Each bag has lots of additional zipped compartments / pockets. The set is made of polyester. It works best for flying: the la...

While shopping in Kohl's one day, I came across this adorable 3-piece swimsuit that I knew my daughter would love.  The set included the tankini top, a boyshort bottom and a more traditional scoop bikini bottom.  It was priced right, so I scooped it up!  The top of the suit is a color-blocked black and pink tankini with a hibiscus screenprinted on the front and an allove...

  I love shopping at Michael's, especially when I have a 50% of coupon from the Sunday paper.  I was in need of some new markers for adding that personal touch to homemade cards, filling in colors when I rubber stamp and also for occasional scrapbooking.  Instead of buying just a few colors I ended up purchasing the Martha Stewart 36-Piece Arts & Crafts Marker Set.  ...

For our One Year Anniversary, I got this for my girlfriend and I, and it has been one of the most special moments ever.  This is a loved pendant that has two parts, an eighteen inch box chain for the girl, and a twenty inch curb chain for the guy.  This necklaces form a cirlcle when put together, and in the middle of the circle, it has two heats which say, "I am my beloved's&...

 This screwdriver set was a great gift. There is one for every job and I like being able to choose from this big selection. They came with a lifetime warranty.  Rubber grip handles make it easy to hold on to these while working. This is the largest set that I was ever given. There is always a little job that comes up around the house where these screwdrivers are needed. They have brig...

I bought these at Christmas time and I really like them.  They are nice looking.  They are pretty bold and heavy.  The design of the handle makes them easy to hold.  There are 17 pieces including the block and sharpener.  The knives you get are a paring, utility, bread, chefs, slicer, santoku and steak (8 of those).  You also get a set of kitchen shears.  The ...

I received the JCPenny Home Collection 10 piece ovations album and frame set for Christmas from my in-laws. At first I thought what in the world am I going to do with all of these frames. Now I am so glad that they gave it to me. I have so many different size frames to choose from. They are many diiferent frame designs to choose from. There are also two photo albums that hold 40 pictures each (...

I have always had perfect skin ,even as a teenager. All of a sudden in my early 30's I have develeped what I guess is called adult acne. It started with one reoccuring  trouble spot and then has progress to a  totally yucky pimple face. I tried proactive in high hopes that it would solve my acne problem. However After a 2-3 months  of using their whole daily program it h...

We brought these bowls because we thought they would be a nice addition to our kitchen supplies. I am happy to say that these bowls come in really handy. One thing to remember is they really are not mixing bowls. They are prep bowls. I will crack a couple eggs in them and beat them for scrambled eggs but they really won't hold much more then that. They are 1 cup in size. I do like them. I l...

I have had this knife set for a little over a year. They work very well, but I have noticed that the handles on all of the knives are cracking. I use the knives often, but am not overly rough on them. I called the company and they do not manufacture the knife sets themselves, and sent me to an outside company that makes knife sets under many different brand names. The woman I spoke with said th...

The pants and the short sleeve shirt have several Mickey's located in different areas.  The long sleeve shirt has one big Mickey on the front and several little mickeys on the sleeve.  The fabric is 100% cotton.&...

This luggage set was purchased as a gift for someone in the family and when it arrived and I saw the vibrant red color and they great quality of the product I decided to keep it for myself. This may have been a selfish decision, but now - a couple years later - I am still using the suitcases! Regardless of the time frame for the trip, whether it is a couple of weeks, or a couple of days there i...

It is hard to find onesie Pajamas that are more than just cute... These are functionable, completely washable and just the perfect amount of warm. I never find that the Pyjamas are too warm, or too cool - but perfect for those fall and winter nights. This design is available in red or blue - and I find are perfect for little boys - as they look very cute in stripes! The feet covers are perfect,...

I like farberware products which I have been using 4 years ago in college. This set is mostly complete for use for a small family or college living. They are non-stick cookware so it's real convenient for cooking and washing. There is also a stainless steel version for this which is also of high quality and very well-designed. They are really built to last especially the stainless steel one...

I went shopping to get my son some presents for the holiday only to come across these containers. It is 24 containers with lids that all fit in a spinning organizer. 49 Piece Storage Spinner. Anyways I just had to get it. And for the price I could not pass up the offer. Althought I was a bit skeptic. Not often does things so cheap actualyl pay off. So I asked the clerk if I could return them if...
