Making a World of Difference One Quilt at a Time - Book #Review & #Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 12/13 #HolidayGiftGuide



MAKING A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE ONE QUILT AT A TIME: Inspiring Stories about Quilters & How They Have Touched Lives

Quilts exemplify precious things: comfort through the warmth they provide; community, since they are often created by groups; and love, given the time and effort they require. With this in mind, legions of kindhearted quilters all over the world choose to donate their labors of love to people in need. Ruth McHaney Danner has gathered fifty-four heartwarming stories of quilters who make their compassion tangible one stitch, square, and quilt at a time. Each story  introduces a quilter or group of quilters, ranging from a blind woman in Texas to preschoolers in Australia. Their gifts have the power to make recipients feel cherished and supported, even though they may never meet face-to-face. These wonderfully inspiring stories show that every quilter who has ever wondered, “But what can I do?” can do something to reach out and help others.

Ruth McHaney Danner, has written extensively for various publications. She has made dozens of quilts for charitable organizations and for individuals in need, and many of her projects have won awards. Her sewing room in Spokane, Washington, overflows with stacks of fabric, bags of scraps, and an endless supply of UFOs (unfinished objects).

My Review:
I had a chance to read a few of the stories in this book, they are truly inspiring. One story tells about quilters who come together in every state across the U.S. to make quilts for sick children in hospitals. There's even a link at the end of the story about how you can help! This book is a great read for anyone and everyone. Even if your not a quilter or sewer, you will love these short, inspiring stories about people's generous, giving hearts.

Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas: Grinchmas Edition #Review & #Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 12/13 #HolidayGiftGuide



Synopsis:
Discover the true meaning of the holiday season with the live action adaptation of the beloved classic, Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Starring Jim Carrey as The Grinch, director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer reimagine one of the most enduring holiday stories of all time. Why is The Grinch (Carrey) such a grouch? No one seems to know, until little Cindy Lou Who (Taylor Momsen) takes matters into her own hands and turns both Whoville and The Grinch's world upside down, inside out... and funny side up. Filled with dazzling scenery, special effects, makeup and costumes, this is an adventure “that can make your heart grow three sizes – if you’re not laughing too hard!” (Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution)

Background:
• The live-action adaptation of the holiday classic by Dr. Seuss
• Newly re-mastered in 2015 for improved HD picture and sound
• Includes Blu-ray + Digital HD
• Celebrating its 15th Anniversary
• Starring Jim Carey as the Grinch plus Molly Shannon, Taylor Momsen and Christine Baranski
• Directed by Academy Award Winner Ron Howard (Apollo 13)

My Review:
I love the Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas movie more than I do the cartoon version. My kids aren't completely into watching it yet, but that's fine. I loved watching it on blu-ray, as the picture is much clearer. The movie also came out 15 years ago! Now I feel old! But what a great movie it is! This is one movie to share with your family in December and year 'round!

Minecraft: Story Mode #Review & PC/Laptop Code #Giveaway! (Worldwide) Ends 12/13 #HolidayGiftGuide



Minecraft: Story Mode is like a playable television show based on your favorite game, where YOU are the star, and your choices and actions decide how the story is told.

You are Jesse, and you and your friends are thrown into an awe-inspiring adventure to save the world. While visiting EnderCon, your gang stumbles on something dreadful. Terror is unleashed, and your only hope is to track down the “Order of the Stone”, a fabled group of adventurers who slew the legendary Ender Dragon. But where are they? In a race against time, you will travel across the over-world, through the Nether, to The End, and beyond.

My Review:
My 8 year old son played Minecraft Story Mode on our XBox One and we got to help him. It was like watching a Minecraft story play out in a cartoon/movie in front of you, but every so often, the player/remote control holder, got to make choices and decisions as to how the game was going to go. So a child or adult can play Minecraft Story Mode more than once and have different outcomes. We also downloaded Episode 2 and played that once Episode One was finished. Episodes 3, 4 & 5 aren't available yet, but XBox said it would download them when they become available.

When you begin the Minecraft Story Mode Game, you get to choose what you want the main character to look like. Then you get to play along. There are 2-4 choices that you can choose from to comment or choose to make the pet pig your sidekick! We chose to make the pig the sidekick, it was awesome and funny at times. I recommend this game for children ages 8 and up, as they need to be able to read quickly to make choices in the game.

Win It!

Enter below using the Giveaway Tools form for a chance to Win a Code for Minecraft: Story Mode for your PC or Laptop (includes all 5 episodes, but currently only Epidsodes 1, 2 & 3 are available to play)! Giveaway Ends on 12/13/15. Open Worldwide.

Disney-Pixar's "The Good Dinosaur" - My Review! #TheGoodDino


I thought that the movie was good. But it would get good, then a storm would happen and something bad would happen, again and again. So there was about 4 or more storms. The movie became predictable with the storms.

But the dinosaur's character grew and learned not to be afraid, and he grew bigger while he was on his adventure and met some new friends along the way. There was a scene with a Rino where the Rino and Dinosaur, Arlo, were naming the boy (Spot), and the Rino was throwing out names and one of the names was "Murderer." I wasn't too happy about that at all. The Rino threw out another name too that I wasn't keen on at all. I feel that they didn't need to be in the movie. But if your kids are like mine, they won't remember it.

There was also one phrase that was spoken by these pterodactyls (flying dinosaurs) that I didn't feel needed to be said. But overall, then movie was good. Some of the 3D effects were neat with fireflies and birds. But seeing in in 3D or normally would be fine. My 8 year old son said it was awesome. He doesn't remember what I did. He just remembers the good parts. He said the ending made him cry, which I won't give that part away! The ending isn't sad, no worries.

The Good Dinosaur comes out tomorrow, Wednesday 11/25 in theaters everywhere!

The Ultimate Cigar Book #Giveaway! (2 Winners) (U.S.) Ends 12/6 #HolidayGiftGuide #Cigars



Don’t Give Him a Tie He’ll Never Wear—The Newest Edition of The Ultimate Cigar Book Unveils a 150-Year-Old Holiday Tradition That Will Last All Year!

Ever since the 1850s, when cigars became popular in America, they have been associated with the holidays—a time for relaxing and rejoicing with friends. And what better way to celebrate than with a hand-rolled stogie and a favorite libation? It calms the nerves, aids digestion, and stimulates conversation.

“A single cigar makes a perfect stocking stuffer, and a gaily wrapped box of cigars under the tree is the adult equivalent of getting an electric train set when you were a boy,” says Richard Carleton Hacker, author of the new fourth edition of The Ultimate Cigar Book (Skyhorse Publishing).

Because cigars were originally reserved for the wealthy, they became a symbol of success and have since evolved into the perfect Yuletide gift for men (and women) from all walks of life. “You don’t have to be a millionaire to feel like one, when you’re smoking a premium cigar,” says Hacker.

The Ultimate Cigar Book describes virtually every cigar in the world and is full of facts and trivia, such as Thomas R. Marshall’s famous quote, “What this country really needs is a good five cent cigar,” or Mark Twain’s proclamation that “If I can’t smoke in Heaven, then I shall not go!” The book also compares Cuban cigars with those from other countries, including the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Nicaragua, and answers a multitude of questions encompassing cigar history, making, and storage. Keep the band on or take it off? Can you humidify a cigar that has dried out? How do you clip and light a cigar? All are answered in The Ultimate Cigar Book. There is even a chapter on pairing cigars with single malts, bourbons, and cognacs.

Indeed, The Ultimate Cigar Book is the ultimate gift for the ultimate cigar smoker this holiday season. Available online and at your local book retailers.
