Story Harbor, Volume 1 by Zette Harbour Give-Away

Sponsored by Tomoson.comStory Harbour, vol. 1 - A Parents' Choice Recommended Award & NAPPA Honors Award Winner!  Okay, come on people what does that tell ya?  I know what it tells me that's for sure.  It means that this author that writes such stories that reminds me of Grimm's Fairy Tales is alright in my book.  I mean I have nine grandchildren, and so far I have let three of them listen to these wonderful stories.  Even my Sister-in-law when I told her about the CD, and of course my favorite story (The Crain wife).  These are world folktales performed by Zette Harbour that she has put together, and would like to read to our children & grandchildren with her pictorial voice.

Previously, I have done a review on Story Harbor, Volume 1, which I hope you all have read.  As I said this CD would make a great stocking stuffer for your children and/or grandchildren.  Take with you when you're driving and I guarantee you those screaming meme's in the backseat will calm down to a roaring silence for you.

Now, our author has so graciously decided to offer one of my readers a CD too of Story Harbor, Volume 1.

Truly you need to check this CD out for your little ones.  What a great stocking stuffer it would be too!  I thought of giving my copy to my daughter, but I don't think I can part with it.  Soooooo, I played it again for my granddaughter in my car & she loved it too as I did too listening to it again!  I guess it'll become part of my collection to keep my grandbabies entertained along with myself.  I think each and every story also teaches a lesson, which is so good for the children.  What wonderful stories.  I'm sure you will like them as much as I did.  Check out her website for more information.

Wordless Wednesday!

Happy Wordless Wednesday is a great day to post a picture that “speaks” for itself, no words needed!  I've found a new home for Wednesday, and I blog-hop all day long looking at great pics & blogs, finding new friends! How about you?

I was at the 2011 Chicago Toy & Game Fair at the Navy Pier in Chicago, IL, and I went with my daughter, NightOwlmama & my grandbabies.  What fun we  had.  I'll be doing a Post on it soon if I ever get caught up, but here's a few pics.

That's my girl!

Fun Game!

I have got to tell you I have used this lotion on my legs and feet especially my heels.  Come on now, you all know how some of us have heels as rough as the asphalt street, and I've always wanted smooth heels.  Well, thanks to Carmex I'm well on the way.  I even put the lotion on at night.  Yeah, right at night.  You would think my sheets would get all greasy, right?  NOT!  There was nothing there, and I used the cream at night, and the lotion I use in the morning.   The best yet for a full size tube it's only $5.99, and for a smaller size is only $.99.  Totally cool.  They have been in business for 75 yrs., and still going strong.  I love this stuff.
