Review/Giveaway: Snowman Peppermint Necklace

Another addition to A Crafty Christmas Giveaway. I am excited to review for my readers a lovely hand crafted pendant from Lizabettas.  I received the pendant to review today and I was speechless! The Snowman Peppermint Necklace is the perfect accessory to any Christmas attire. When I first held the pendant in my hand I thought "What a nice Christmas Gift this will make for one of my daughters!" Well, after I tried the pendant on my next thought was, "Grandmas got a new necklace!"

The Snowman Peppermint Necklace is a handcrafted art glass dome pendant. The pendant comes with a matching ball chain. If you are looking for a unique gift for that special someone you might want to check out Lizabettas shop and see for your self what she has to offer. From Personalized Wedding Pendants to Retro Vintage Pendants and just about anything you might think of. Defiantly a favorite of mine Personalized Photo Pendants.(This would make a nice gift for grandma.) You will find something you like. Of course if you do not find something you like or simpley have something in mind Lizabettas will make a custom order just for you.

If you would like to win a Snowman Peppermint Necklace come back to Grandma Bonnie's Closet and Life with Tootsabella and the Rose for entries into our Christmas Giveaway on December 1st until December 10th.

Book Reviews: Pixie Tales & Gremlins, Genies and Trolls Oh My!

Do you enjoy reading to your child. grandchild, niece or nephew? I have always loved reading to my children. I now enjoy reading to my grandchildren just as much as I did with my own children. Grandma Bonnie's Closet has been given the opportunity to review and giveaway two extraordinary books written by Author Francine L.Trevens. If your children are interested in Pixies, Fairies, Trolls or Goblins these books are perfect for them.
Each book contains five fantasy stories.

Entwined in these creatively written stories are small lessons.  My favorite story is in the Pixie Tales Book, "The Pixies In The Glen". This story was interesting. The message about bulling was well hidden in the story. The child might not know he was learning a lesson while being entertained. I have not read these stories to my grandsons yet as I feel they are a too young to understand the difference in reality and fantasy. When they turn three maybe four I believe they will be ready to understand the stories are fantasy. In my opinion they will make great bedtime stories for children three years and up. When I do read the Pixies In The Glen to my grandsons I will talk about what one should do in case of meeting a bully.
Today (11/29/11)  I was able to get on Skype with my granddaughter Tootsabella and read two of the stories for her. I read the last story in the Pixie Tales book, "The Pixie Fantasy" This is a tale about a Pixie girl and her family. They had to move from their home and relocate in a park in the city. The little Pixie had a great imagination and the story had a surprising ending of which I will not divulge to my readers. The story was very entertaining as it kept Tootsabella's attention.  She wanted to see the drawings in the book which I did show her but being over the web camera it took away some of the pleasure she would have had in person.  The second story we read was from the same book Pixie Tales, "Have You Ever Seen A Pink Leprechaun?" When we finished this story Tootsabella was ready for lunch so we ended our story time with a quick good bye.   

If you would like more information about the author and her writings go here.

If you would like to win a set of these Books about Pixies, Gremlins, Trolls, and Leprechauns to read to your child come back to Grandma Bonnie's Closet and Life with Tootsabella and the Rose for entries into our Christmas Giveaway on December 1st until December 10th.

One of a Kind Original Art Work the, "Golden Flower "

Just Three days until Our Crafty Christmas Giveaway. One of our featured hand crafted products for our giveaway is the "Golden Flower" This is a one-of-a-kind original piece of artwork with certificate of authenticity by  an Arizona-based artist. 

This piece is so fascinating. The texture and colors are  incredible. 

Description: “Golden Flower” 6” x 6” x 3” is an original artwork of textured and golden metallic acrylic paint on gallery-wrapped canvas. This art was created in homage to the golden Arizona sun.

The Artist's Story: I love to paint mostly abstracts, pet portraits (I love animals!) and specialty art, such as “Golden Flower.” When I was painting this piece, I let

myself go with texture and the metallic deep gold paint. The result is a really 3-D piece of art that can be either hung in a small space or displayed on a table-top

easel. With highly textured art like this, I can’t resist reaching out to run my hands over it. I guess that’s what makes it unique!

To learn more about the artist and other fascinating pieces of artwork go here.

If you would you like to win this beautiful piece please come back on December 1st until December 10th to enter our Crafty Christmas giveaway on Grandma Bonnie's Closet and Life with Tootsabella and the Rose.
