O.C. Styles Handcrafted Gifts & Accessories (Etsy) Review and Giveaway Halloween Spooktacular #3



Once again we are off on our mission to bring you the best Halloween décor and accessories to make this Haunting Season the best ever and what is the one thing you have to have when taking your children out Trick-Or-Treating during the witching hour? Well….I’ll tell you! You must have a Trick-Or-Treat bag for them to carry all their accumulated goodies in right? Right! I can tell you that last year when we took “Bug” around the neighborhood we ended up having to carry a larger bag to empty his small pumpkin bucket but I think the smaller and decorated baskets/buckets/sacks are so much better than a grocery bag to have them carry around and just makes the Holiday that much more special so one thing I really wanted to find for this Halloween is a unique one of a kind Trick-or-Treat bag for “Bug” so that he had his very own unique bag to carry around so of course my first stop on my journey was ETSY, I love all things handmade and you just don’t get the quality in stores that you do when you buy handmade so naturally that was why I chose Etsy as my first stop. And after spending some time searching I found the perfect bag for my little man at O.C. Styles Handcrafted Gifts & Accessories and I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to review it right here on my blog!

About O.C. Styles Handcrafted Gifts & Accessories (Taken from Shop):

Growing up around a family full of creative people, I have always been inspired to create, craft and sew.

**************************************************

Being a mom of a beautiful little girl, a cute dog and a wife, I put my creativity to use everyday within my family. My daughter inspires me daily with the way she sees the world around her.

**************************************************

I love to create, sew and craft. I am a fabric maniac!!!

Having such passion for the beautiful and creative things, OC Styles brings all of these together to create unique, stylish, gifts for everyone.

**************************************************

I hope you love my handcrafted creations! Enjoy!

My Thoughts:

I was given the opportunity to choose the perfect Trick-Or-Treat bag for “Bug” to use this Halloween and after much debate on which one we liked the best (we really liked them all) we came to agree on the Halloween Trick or Treat Candy Bag (Spooky Hollow) and I have to say that the photos do not do this bag justice it is absolutely adorable!!! I’m loving the different faces on the pumpkins and the Owls….I’m really drawn to the Owls for some reason! I think the ribbons on this bag is the perfect mix of colors and really draws the bag together and I also feel that they make this bag perfect for little boys and girls alike!

Once the bag arrived at our door (very quickly I must say) I couldn’t wait to get it out and inspect the stitching and craftsmanship, I am beyond pleased with both the stitching and craftsmanship of this bag and I have a feeling that it will stand up way beyond just one Halloween night like some other bags we have tried. I figure this trick-or-treat bag will be used for several years to come. And of course the most important thing to me was what “Bug” thought about it and he absolutely loves it! He has carried it around saying Trick-Or-Treat ever since we got it so I think it’s going to make a heck of a good bag this year and best of all it’s unique and not everyone will be carrying one of these beauties!

I also want to take a minuet to mention that O.C. Styles Handcrafted Gifts & Accessories has so much more than Trick-Or-Treat bags, they offer Hot/Cold Drink Cozies, Bridal Packs, Purses/Bags, Aprons, Card Holders and more so be sure to head on over to their Etsy shop and see what goodies you can find.

Bottom Line:

We are beyond thrilled with our Trick-Or-Treat bag that we received to review and I feel that it will hold up way beyond a couple of Halloween’s and we are looking forward to using this bag for years to come! I feel like when you order from O.C. Styles you are getting a whole lot more than a handmade item you are also getting love in every stitch and it shows in the products that Michelle really enjoys what she does and wants to make sure your only getting the best and long lasting products!

Buy It:

Dark Horse Arts and Gifts (Etsy) Halloween Spooktacular Giveaway #2

As you know today marks the first day of October and the beginning to my favorite month on the whole year! I don’t know if this is because my birthday is Oct 11 or if it’s the change in the weather or of course my favorite Holiday of the entire year HALLOWEEN? Maybe it a combination of all three but I just had to celebrate this month with some fun, some spooky and some silly reviews and giveaways!

Up next for in the Halloween Spooktacular Blog Event is an awesome shop that I found on Etsy a few weeks ago called Dark Horse Arts and Gifts and I have to say this shop has some of the most beautiful, cute and unique products for any season/occasion you are looking to spruce up your home or if you are looking for unique gifts. I was so excited to see the special giveaway for all of my special readers that is going to be something that is unique to this giveaway and you can’t get anywhere else!

About Dark Horse Arts and Gifts(Taken From Shop):

Welcome! Dark Horse Arts and Gifts is a labor of love that allows me to show you my fine ceramic art, figurines, and household items. All make perfect collectibles and gifts.

When I was a child, I worked in my mom's ceramic store helping her pour molds, clean greenware, fire kilns, and teach classes. I loved choosing different colors and glazes to use on the ceramics we created. Today, I carry on the passion of my younger years. I have returned to making ceramics and sharing my creations with you!

I am not alone -- my mom has great talent when it comes to painting eyes and detail work. My husband helps me at local shows, customer service and I have even put him to work cleaning and glazing pieces as well. Some of the pieces you see have been worked on by all three of us!

I am very happy you have found my shop on Etsy and sincerely hope that you love our art as much as we do.

Special requests are welcome. Just let me know your idea and I will do my best to make it happen.

Thank you for stopping by!

In appreciation,
Jeanie

Jeanie also asked me to mention that Halloween is their favorite time of year/season! They love decorating with spooky lights, pumpkins, ghosts, skeletons and skulls all over the house and outside as well! So that’s something that Jeanie and I have in common :0)

My Thoughts:

Now, I wasn’t given a product to review here on my blog but I do what to tell you my thoughts on the items Jeanie has to offer in her shop!

I’ve been spending quite a bit of time at the Dark Horse Arts and Gifts Etsy shop and with all of the beautiful gifts that Jeanie has to offer I’m pretty sure you are going to find the perfect addition to your own holiday décor and/or the perfect gift for that special someone in your life. Jeanie is a super talented woman and her creations are just so unique and beautiful that I could find a place in my home for each and every one of her marvelous creations!

The first item that caught my eye while browsing Dark Horse Arts and Gifts was Jeanie’s beautiful Boo Box! I don’t know for sure what has drawn me to this particular piece but I’ve absolutely fell in love with this little treat box! I’m loving the happy face on the ghost and I don’t think I’ve mentioned this before but I’ve always been fascinated with ghost and that’s our go to décor for this fun holiday!

The next item I found that I was drooling over was Jeanie’s super cute Halloween Pumpkin 4 dish set in Black and White! I think these would be wonderful to use to serve our spooky Halloween treats on at our annual Halloween/Fall Fest we do every year for the kids! I think this set is just too adorable and I would love to display these not only at the Halloween Fest but the whole month of October in a very special place on my mantel!

This last item was very hard to decide on because I love all of the items she has that are Halloween related but she also has some awesome Christmas related décor and gifts as well but since we are celebrating Halloween I’m going to stick with that theme and go with the adorable Jack O’Lantern Centerpiece in black and white! I can already visualize this beauty on my entertainment center in the place of honor! I’m really loving all the black and white pumpkins that Jeanie has to offer I think they give a whole new twist to traditional Halloween Décor.

Bottom Line:

I have to admit that narrowing down just three Halloween décor/gift pieces from Dark Horse Arts and Gifts was really hard and I would have loved to be able to feature all of Jeanie’s beautiful pieces! So if you want to see more or maybe Halloween isn’t your holiday head on over to Dark Horse Arts and Gifts and check out the other items that they have to offer, I’m sure you are going to fall in love with at least one piece!

Gifts For All Seasons (Etsy) Halloween Spooktacular Giveaway #1



As you know today marks the first day of October and the beginning to my favorite month on the whole year! I don’t know if this is because my birthday is Oct 11 or if it’s the change in the weather or of course my favorite Holiday of the entire year HALLOWEEN? Maybe it a combination of all three but I just had to celebrate this month with some fun, some spooky and some silly reviews and giveaways!

Now, that brings us to the first giveaway of the event and this awesome giveaway is sponsored by Gifts For All Seasons Etsy Shop. If you have been reading my blog for any length of time I love everything handmade and crafted and that is the way I prefer to shop and when I stumbled upon Gifts For All Seasons on Etsy while looking for sponsors for the Halloween Spooktacular I was immediately mesmerized by the lovely items she had to offer in her shop and after some time of browsing around I decided to ask if she would be interested in being featured right here on The Cartoon Lovin’ Mama and I was beyond excited when she said yes and showed me the prize for the giveaway!

About Gifts For All Seasons (Taken From Shop):

My name is Dianne, and I am a Denver, Colorado native. I have had a love of flowers, and anything growing since I was a small child. When I discovered the art of pressing flowers some 24+ years ago, and learning how to preserve them, it opened up a whole new world of creativity for me. It has taken me many years to perfect this art, and to learn to take these miniature works of art from Mother Nature, and turn each one into something for all of us to wear, use, enjoy, and show an extension of our personalities. The joy I get from this, has turned into a such a passion, that I look at each flower and leaf in my garden, and see a miniature work of art. To be able to turn each into something of a small garden, to wear, use, decorate with, or give as a gift, gives me great joy! :) Perfect gift for any gardener, flower lover, unique, and one of a kind pieces. I have also developed a love of photography, and have been able to freeze some beautiful nature photographs in that moment of time, and offer as greeting cards, or photographs to frame, and to be enjoyed by all. If you have a special request, special flower, or an idea of your own, please feel free to convo me, as I love custom orders! I will do my best to make your idea, and vision a reality.

Each piece in my shop, will be the exact one you will receive. Each is unique unto itself, as no two flowers are alike. Each is created in my smoke free home studio, and each created with great care, love, and passion for what I love to do. I hope each piece brings you as much joy, and happiness, as it brought me in creating it.

Thank you for taking time to visit my shop! Have a lovely day.

My Thoughts:

Now, I wasn’t given a product to review here on my blog but I do what to tell you my thoughts on the items Dianne has to offer in her shop!

After spending some time browsing her shop I have came to the realize that Dianne is one super talented lady and all of the items she offers in her shop are just beautiful! I swear I could spend quite some time just drooling over the beauties she has listed in her shop. I’ve picked out just a few of my absolute favorites because I knew if I didn’t limit myself to just three of my absolute favorites I would be typing this review all day long!

In the spirit of Halloween the item that has just recently caught my eye and became a must have on my list is this beautiful Scary Jack-O-Lantern Pressed Flower Transparent Resin Star Pendant and I don’t know for sure what has drawn me to this pendant if it’s the striking resemblance to Jack Skellington or if it’s just the beauty of the piece itself!

Also since it’s finally Fall I’m going to keep this review all fall/Halloween themed but I do want to take a moment to mention she has something for everyone and every taste!

The next item on my must have is these beautiful Aspen Leaf Hand Tinted Dangle Earrings! I just love the color of these earrings and they just scream Fall! If I were to get my hands on a pair of these earrings I would defiantly be sporting them all season long!

The last item on my must have, although this was a really hard choice to narrow it down to just three is the Maple Leaf and Skeleton Leaf Sun Catcher or Pendant! I would love to have this as a Sun Catcher on my front porch or as the pendent to use in my car on my mirror!

Bottom Line:

I love all of the beautiful pieces that Dianne has to offer in her shop and believe me you could get lost for quite some time browsing her beauties! I’m also loving the fact that she provides a very detailed description of the items and the materials used so you know exactly what you are getting when you place an order!

If you are looking for that special unique piece of jewelry to add to your Fall or Halloween wardrobe you should defiantly head over to Gifts For All Seasons and get lost in the beauties!

Buy It:

Win It:

Dianne is so awesome, she has offered one of my super lucky (yes, I’m a tad jealous here) readers this beautiful Friendly Ghost and Jack-O-Lantern pressed Flower Pendant (ARV $17) to help get you into the Halloween Spirit!

Here is a description of the above pendant and it’s materials:

I chose bright, pressed vivid Sweet Yellow Clover, and a adorable Jack-O-Lantern smiling back at you, with a friendly ghost popping up from behind to say "BOO" and "Happy Halloween", to create this unique, and one of a kind (OOAK) seasonal piece. The clover, and images are suspended in resin, and appear to be floating. The pendant appears glass-like, but yet is very lightweight to wear. This is done in 3-4 steps with hand poured resin, to give the pendant a 3-D garden appearance. The resin protects, and magnifies the pretty flowers, and images. This measures 1 3/4 inch from top of the silver plated oxided bail to bottom, and 1 1/16 inch wide at the widest point. This is a perfect pendant for someone who loves bright, vivid colors, a flower lover, or gardener. Also for someone who likes the Autumn season, with all the beautiful changing trees. Could be a signature, and a statement piece for the season change, and the Halloween holiday. This will come with an 18" silver plated snake chain, and thoughtfully gift packaged, ready for gift giving, or to keep for yourself. A fun and whimsical piece to wear through out the entire Autumn season. All my pieces are created one at a time, with real flowers that have been picked from my garden, and pressed one at a time, and dried for up to 4 weeks.

Please keep from extreme moisture and heat.

Holidays, halloween, jewelry, pendant, autumn, jack o lantern, yellow clover, autumn, whimsical, bright yellow, orange, ooak, giftforallseasons

Materials: pressed flowers, image, resin, bail, chain, flower press

Now onto how to get your hands on this beauty!

Elmer’s Glue Review and Giveaway



I love to craft and especially love to craft during the holidays and changing of the seasons so I’m always on the lookout for the absolute best crafting products that are available on the market today and one that I have found to be consistently fair priced and work wonderful on every project I have ever used it on and that’s Elmer’s Glue…..yep, the same glue you probably used in school as a child and the products your child is probably using in school!

About Elmer’s Glue (Taken From Website):

For more than sixty years, Elmer’s Products, Inc., has been providing creative adhesive solutions that support project success and turn ideas into reality. By continuing to develop innovative new products, Elmer’s has become the trusted brand when it comes to fueling creativity and providing outstanding product performance in the classroom, at home, in the workshop and at the craft table. At Elmer’s, we inspire people to create, build and learn for life.

Deep Roots
Elmer's is a company rich in history and tradition. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Elmer's has been producing the most well known line of consumer adhesives for over six decades.

The company was originally part of the Borden® Company, which introduced the first consumer white glue in 1947. Under the trade name "Cascorez Glue," the glue was packaged in glass bottles with "ice cream pop" type wooden sticks attached with a rubber band. Shortly thereafter, the glue was repositioned under the name "Elmer's Glue-All" after Elmer, the spouse of Borden's famed corporate symbol, Elsie the cow.

Today, Elmer’s produces a variety of products developed with a dedication to quality and innovation. They range from adhesives, arts and crafts, educational and office products for use at home, school or business. Elmer’s also markets the number one instant adhesive in the U.S., Instant Krazy Glue®, and X-ACTO®, a leader in innovative cutting blades, knives and office supply products.

My Thoughts:

I was sent several of Elmer’s Glue products to review and I can tell you I was already a bit bias when the products arrived!

The first product we were sent to review was the traditional Elmer’s School Glue and I love this glue! It’s perfect for when “Bug” wants to craft with mommy and I love that it is washable and doesn’t run all over the place which makes clean up a breeze! This glue is not only safe for “Bug” but it does exactly what it is supposed to do and that’s glue his creations together and they stick!

The next product we were sent was the Elmer’s Multi-Purpose Glue-All and I love that this glue not only works in the craft room but it is also perfect for those quick light duty jobs that needs to be done around our home. I’ve used this glue to fix some places where our wall boarders are peeling off the wall and it works like magic and best of all dries clear so you can’t even tell I had to do a touch up with it!

We also received an assortment of Elmer’s Glue Sticks to review that included Disappearing Purple School Glue Sticks, Washable Gel Glue Sticks, Repositionable Picture and Poster Stick and the All Purpose Glue Sticks and I will say that I love all of these glue sticks I use them quite a bit while working on my scrapbook pages and I love the Picture and Poster Stick for scrapbooking especially! Little “Bug” and I have been using these almost daily working on our Fall/Halloween crafts getting ready for our Fall/Halloween Fest that we are having this year! I’m also expecting to use these on the craft tables we are going to set up for the kids to do some fall crafts during the party!

We also received CraftBond Glue Spots to review and I’ve had lots of fun using these to on some of our fall crafts. I love that these are more convenient than the regular glue and glue sticks and they stick fast and hold great!

I also got a box of the CraftBond Photo Corners to review and I love, love, love these! I use them all the time now on my scrapbook pages, and I plan on keeping them in my craft room from now on!

Bottom Line:

I love Elmer’s Glue and always have, I think they make the absolute best glue for any project that you have to tackle from your own personal crafts, scrapbooking to school projects to the annual homecoming float! If you haven’t tried Elmer’s Glue yet you should really head out and pick some up and find out how easy to use and how quick it is to clean up and I bet you will be hooked :0)

Buy It:
To purchase Elmer’s Glue Products look for them in a store near you!

Win It:
Elmer’s Glue has offered one of my readers an awesome prize pack similar to the one I received to review!

34° Crispbread Review and Giveaway



I am a huge snacker and I snack on a daily basis even though I know I shouldn’t I sometimes can help myself and I’m always looking for new and unique foods to try and one day while searching around for a new type of cracker (I love crackers to snack on) I happened to come across 34° Crispbread and I was immediately attracted to their uniquely favored Crispbread and was really excited to be able to give each of their six flavors a try!

About 34° Crispbread (Taken From Website):

34 Degrees—What Does It Mean?

People always want to know how we got the name 34 Degrees. The answer is Sydney, Australia. Thirty-four degrees is the latitude of Sydney—the city where our company Founder Craig Lieberman discovered his passion for food and wine while attending grad school there. It’s also where he got his first taste of Australian crispbread, the inspiration for our thin and crispy crackers. In 2003, Craig launched 34 Degrees and began importing specialty foods from Australia. But like many long-distance relationships, this arrangement had its share of challenges. Eventually, Craig’s desire to bring his business and his love of food closer to home illuminated the need to take the company in a new direction. In 2008, he discontinued his importing venture to become a manufacturer focused exclusively on making 34° Crispbread in Boulder County, Colorado.

Mission
Simply to make the very best crackers that are as good on their own as they are with a little something extra — especially when that something extra is cheese. Taking pride and pleasure in what we do today, knowing that our creativity and commitment to innovation will elevate our customers’ enjoyment of 34° Crispbread tomorrow.

Quality Standards
Our bakery is not only the source of our favorite crackers; it is a source of pride. We are dedicated to maintaining the highest level of quality assurance. To ensure these highest standards of food safety, our bakery is gold certified and regularly audited by Silliker, the leading internationally accredited food testing and consulting network. We are also HAACP-certified (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.


My Thoughts:

I was sent a box of each of the six varieties of 34° Crispbread: Natural, Sesame, Cracked Pepper, Rosemary, Lemon Zest and Whole Grain to review and I could not wait to start munching on them when they arrived on the door step!

The first of the six flavors I tried was the Sesame variety and I have to say my first thought about these Crispbread was I’m loving the shape and then the taste was amazing it was unlike any other cracker I had tasted before and I could not wait to start mixing it with different dips and such. I love to use the Sesame Crispbread at lunch time with my tuna it really gives a whole new flavor and texture to the tuna I’m used to but I just can’t get enough of these!

Next I gave the Cracked Pepper Crispbread a try and I’m one that has always enjoyed a little kick to everything that I eat and these were so perfect for me! I love the unique taste and texture of the Crispbread and this variety is wonderful all by itself just straight out of the box! This is probably one of my absolute favorites of the six varieties!

Next was the Lemon Zest Crispbread and these have a very nice lemon taste and I love to eat these when I feel like I need a sweet snack instead of grabbing chocolate or something high in sugar and such. I love eating these with fruit dip it really is fantastic!

Next came the Whole Grain Crispbread and this one is by far in the top of my favorites, I love any kind of whole grain crackers and breads so I had a feeling that I would really enjoy this flavor and I did, I love these! I eat these plain and with my spray cheese we keep in the pantry for “Bug” and of all the varieties we were sent this is the only one that he will eat!

I also tried the Rosemary Crispbread and this is one that I had to taste a few times to decide if it was one that I liked…and in the long run I find myself craving the Rosemary over the other varieties! I’ve enjoyed these alone and with herbed goat cheese and it’s really a unique and delicious treat!

The last variety I tried was the Natural Crispbread and once again this one is on the top of my list as well! I love these as a quick snack before bed while watching Ghost Hunters or some sort of Wrestling I don’t know why but those two shows really just need some sort of snack and the Natural Crispbread is my go to snack on those nights! I love these crisp with mustard spreads and you may call me crazy but with my pulled pork bbq!

Bottom Line:

I’m very pleased with the flavor and texture of all six varieties of the 34° Crispbreads that we were sent. To be honest they have really changed the way I look at my old plain crackers that I used to love snacking on and the why I’ve started snacking on crackers! I’m sure that from now on I will be keeping a few boxes of these little gems in my pantry for when I have a snack attack. I also served these crisp with a party platter at a family get together and I’m thinking they are a must have for the next party or get together!

If you are looking for a new unique way of snacking you should pick you up a box or two of the 34° Crispbreads and take your taste buds to the next level!
