Recently I was contacted by Daniella, the webmaster of PinholeGlassesDirect.com. She sent me these unique glasses that use a different form of technology to improve your vision than regular eyeglasses. They are not made out of glass and are less expensive than ordinary lenses. The lenses have little "pinholes" that you look into, just like the name of the company says. According to t...

Collecting pins started a few years ago innocently enough by watching people pin trade at Disneyworld.  I couldn't believe what an enormous industry pin collecting is.  This year I got to the point where I needed a place to store my "little" pin collection other than in a drawer where no one ever saw them. My daughter who works at Disneyworld gave me this beautiful pin s...

This pin has been in my family for many years. Before it was given to me, it belonged to my mom and before it belonged to my mother, it belonged to her mother.When my mom was moving and was having her moving sale, I remember this was actually for sale. She is not a big "pin-wearer," so it would not been a huge deal to her if she sold it and made a little money. At the sale, there...

I am a pretty recent addition to the Disney pin trading world… and a long time lover of the uniqueness know as Jack Skellington.These two facts made purchasing a limited edition Jack Skellington official Disney trading pin with a run of just 250 units, a no brainer. I cannot believe that I actually scored one of these!This Jack Skellington pin depicts Jack sitting down to Thanksgiving di...

I am a baking fool! We don't buy our bread anymore I just bake every week. One of the things I really appreciate is great quality kitchen/baking tools. If you are into baking, especially breads and pastries, a marble rolling pin is the greastest!The Norpro 18 inch Marble Rolling Pin has wooden handles, weighs about 5lbs or so which makes it easier for rolling out dough's, especially bre...

I love to roll out cookies, pie dough, and even candy. But, I hate when everything sticks to my rolling pin. This led me to look for a nonstick rolling pin. While shopping at Amazon one day, I stumbled upon the Sunbeam Nonstick Rolling Pin for $5! At this price I definitely had to order it. When the rolling pin arrived I was impressed with the construction. The rolling pin is heavy, but no...

When our family went to Disneyworld in 2005, I started my collection of Tinkerbell pins. (Did you think I would pick any other character?!)  I received a black lanyard with a Disney pin attached when we checked into the Pop Century Resort. I had never heard of pin trading on any of our trips to Disney before.  Apparently they had just started the tradition of trading pins with cast me...

This game was the biggest disappointment.  My son asked Santa for it and he brought it.  I thought it was quite expensive for a child's game but my children love to bowl so I thought it would be worth it.It doesn't work very well on carpet(too much resistance for the ball) or on linoleum(no resistance for the ball).  It only keeps score of two pins at a time so you h...

  Everything about this pin is superb. It is well made and something we really like to accessorize with in our house or trade while at disney vacationing. It is something the family can do together and enjoy time looking through different pins. The design on this princess pin has raised edges that make this super, especially for the price. The depth and detail of the pin make it so much be...

This is a nifty little game that my neice got for her second birthday. It's bowling in your living room. My neice loves this game, although she doesn't quite understand the concept, but hey, she's 3. There are 6 different colored pins, each with a different face. They go on a little stand that has a ramp for the pall to roll up. On the stand, there are little pegs that make the pins...

I received this rolling pin as a prize for having the best Christmas cookies a few years back.  It has become one of my favorite kitchen accessories as it's not only beautiful to look at but very easy to use.  I can roll out my pastry without worrying about the dough sticking and it's so easy to clean.  The marble keeps moisture and grease from penetrating like ...

Our company is what you can consider modern yet still old-school in terms of office supplies. Although we are provided with the best brands of high-quality office supplies, we still stick to the basics like the use of cork boards. In this modern age, we already have smart boards and white boards. However, we still find the old cork board reliable in many ways.When you use a cork board, it is in...

After receiving two mini samples of Too Faced Mascara, one regular "Lash Injection" and the other "Lash Injection Pin Point" I really felt like I should advise others of my experience. I have to say I was blessed with wonderful lashes. Both dark and long, it really takes some work to make them look bad when I apply mascara. Unfortunately, Lash Injection was a real disappointment. First, they sm...

When my husband gets me a gift for no reason or occasion, it is usually something I can use in the kitchen.  I think it's his way of supporting my love of baking and making sure that he gets an unending supply of homemade cookies all in one go.  =)I had a wooden rolling pin, but Dan had mentioned several times that he wanted to get me a marble one.  He had heard that they wer...

I have a pretty fast running laptop that is a couple of years old so as the technology has improved online the page load time had decreased and I started to notice that with some of the pages, they were actually lagging. This is not something that ever used to happen and, to be frank, I am not very patient when it comes to page load time! I expect to click on it and for it to be there, period.I...

I love my pets and my cockapoo was very special to me. I lost her very recently and I wanted to have something to wear that showed how much I loved and cherished the companionship she gave to me. I wear a necklace almost everyday so I thought a dog charm would be good. And for the winter, a nice pin for my coat, hat or scarf. As usual, I searched www.etsy.com to see wha...

 My sister gave me this beautiful one cent charm. It is a one cent piece with a heart shape cut into the center. It can be worn as a necklace or added to a charm bracelet. This beautiful card it was attached to, relays the importantance of the relationship between sisters. It says to whenever you are feeling blue, just take it out and remember that "I Love You". It explains that ...

Great for gift giving, the person receiving will not even know the secret that this brooch is so affordable and even you mention the price you paid for this brooch, she may not believe it so a win-win situat...

All my life I have battled my curly, frizzy, thick hair.  It was always embarrassing for me to try to wear my hair down.  With that in mind, I have gone through so many different straighteners, flat irons and blow dryers that the men in my life could have bought a new tool or two.One depressing hair day I decided to make a trip to Target to make yet another hair straightener purc...
