Purple Blue Monogram Design - Product Review

This is a purple and blue abstract leaf design on a blended yellow background. I designed it so that all of the leaves are pointing towards the center opening of yellow.

I love how this design turned out. I started out by making various leaf designs, trying different techniques. The other designs were out different shades of lavender and purple backgrounds. They didn't quite fit what I was after so I moved on. Then I decided to play around with my paints and squirted some purple on my printing area, and my eye caught sight of the bold vivid blue. Voila. Perfect!

"And they go with yellow," I thought. I painted a yellow background. At first, I had the leaves come off from one side, kind of flowing towards the center. And then I just kept going. "That's right, pointing towards the center, towards the area of importance," I thought. Then I kept filling in the outer edges, making the border look full and lush. That's it!

This design is perfect for anything of importance; i.e. monograms, name, address, letter writing - whatever the case shall be.

The first product I designed with this was business cards. All of the main information is on the front of the card. I made the back of the card, solid yellow. It coordinates with the front of the business card, and can also easily be located if the card is mixed in with other cards, by it's bold and vibrant back.

All of the text areas on any of these products can be easily customized on the provided template forms.

I always purchase my business cards from Zazzle. Early on, there was a mess up on one of my business cards order, but Zazzle readily replaced them. Everything has worked out great since then.

You can choose from matte and glossy finishes for the various card typs on Zazzle, and also from various card stocks which come in an assortment of colors, textures, and finishes.

On the note cards, I enclosed the border design tighter around the center, making it perfect for a short name or monogram. The border design on the back of the note card is spread out to allow an open writing area.

I have purchased a variety of cards from Zazzle, and they have all turned out lovely. The colors are crisp and the card stock has always been great.

I used the same idea with the border being spread out on the lined stationery. The design is the same on both sides here.

I used the same mindset when designing the luggage tags, as I did for the note cards. One side is for the monogram, and the other side is for the contact info.

Coldest Brand Spill Proof Tumbler

I usually stay away from trendy items but I jumped on this popular item because I thought it might be a really good choice for me.  I was right! The Coldest Limitless Bottle is advertised for the crazy length of time that it keeps cold drinks cold as well as being spillproof. Those two reasons are more than enough to purchase a Coldest Limitless Bottle. But I was betting this tumbler would be a great choice to help with the adaptations I sometimes need due to my difficluty with weak hands. I was right! My Coldest tumbler keeps my ice coffee cold all day and prevents my accidents (spilling, leaking, or breaking) I have with other mugs or bottles.

My Opinion - My Coldest Bottle is an adaptive tool that Makes My life easier

Adaptive tools, or assistive devices, are technologies or items that can make every day activities easier for folks to do. Folks who often have physical difficulties. Assistive needs are as varied as each individual.

I have physical difficulties. Mostly with my hand strength, hand pain, and lack of coordination. I use scissors, knives, and small everyday pry tools to open things that most people do not need help to open.  Over the decades, my favorite way to carry water, juice, and ice coffee has been either with steel Bubba brand tumblers or with Mason jars with iLids.  Honestly, glass is my favorite for ice coffee and a quart sized Mason jar has been my daily home made ice coffee for years.

But the more often I fall or drop things, the more I have worried about carrying that Mason glass jar to work. Or anywhere outside of the house actually. And my other tumblers don't break but the lid pops off when dropped and makes quite a splash (of coffee). Of course, I was seeing review after review for the currently trendy Coldest brand. I ordered my first Coldest Tumbler because of the thick handle, the ability for it to fit into my truck's cupholder, and the leakproof lids. Specifically, the spill proof straw lid. How can that be?  All of my tumblers with straws leak if turned upside down, or dropped on it's side. 

How could this lid and straw be leak proof?

Easy. Genius. The straw fits fairly tightly into the lid to begin with. The bunker assembly is a much softer material than the lid and straw.  With the bunker placed on the straw, the straw is pressed down, and the little ridge presses down into the lid creating a seal. Like magic, I can't spill anything (nor can I drink from the straw in this position).  Exciting.  I thought that, with my weak and sore hands, I wouldn't be able to click the straw bunker into the closed position. I was so happy to find that everything is big enough, and soft enough, that I can open and close this straw into leakproof position.

There likely will come a time that I won't be able to operate it. But for now, it is an amazing assistive tool that keeps my coffee icy all day.

The thick handle is easy for me to grip. And the paracord handle accessory (sold separately) is perfect for me.  When walking, I don't carry the tumbler by the handle. I loop the paracord handle over my wrist. I have a difficult time carrying any cups in my hand as others normally do. This paracord is such a relief.

A big perk is that these tumblers come in a variety of sizes. And they come in a variety of decorations/colors. There are some designs that are in stock and some designs that are new releases in limited quantities. 

Information from the Coldest Website

While there are a variety of different sizes on Coldest.com, I bought a 24 oz Limitless Bottle in The Persian color. The information for this style and size is:

• 24 oz
• 100% leakproof
• stainless steel; triple insulated
• rubber bottom
• includes 3 lids: coffee lid, chug lid, and sip lid with bunker
• Infuser included
• keeps cold liquids cold for at least 36 hours (keeps hot liquids hot for 13+ hours)
• Fits 99% of cupholders
• thick, easy-to-grip handle
• lifetime warranty (register on the website)
• hand wash with soap and water

Two Very Minor Cautions (that may apply just to me)

On the website, in addition to a variety of sizes and colors, there are older versions and new versions of these tumblers.  I advise that you read each tumbler page to ensure you order the item that you want. I felt there were so many choices that I was a bit confused at times. However, I'm easily confused. You probably will navigate the site easily. 

I do find that the chug lid is difficult for me to click open due to my very weak fingers. The sip/straw lid was the version I wanted and the other two lids are bonus. And I may use them around the house when I am not transporting my ice coffee. You may not have any difficulty with the chug lid button.

Visit Coldest.com to learn more and to see the many sizes and colors.

Porch Goose and Porch Goose Outfits Reviewed

My daughter called me a few weeks ago and said she was going to paint a concrete porch goose in a craft class.  I asked her if she remembered having a plastic porch goose that she dressed for special occasions and seasons when she was a very little girl.  Unfortunately, she didn't have an actual memory of it, but I couldn't help but wonder if she was drawn to that class because of her old beloved porch goose.  Her grandmother and I both remember well how she liked dressing her first porch goose.

She has now finished painting her concrete porch goose and is ready for porch goose outfits.  With her birthday only a few week away, she added porch goose outfits to her gift wish list.  

You probably know what I am about to say!  Between her grandmother, brother, father and I, we purchased 14 new goose outfits for her upcoming birthday.  I can hardly wait to see the pictures as she changes her goose's clothes each month, occasion or season.  

It is hard to choose a favorite porch goose outfit, but I am personally fond of the yellow raincoat and umbrella.  It reminds me of the outfit her plastic porch goose had when she was a little girl.  I only remember her dressing her original porch goose in her own baby clothes or baby doll clothes, but I think it is totally awesome that there are so many outfits made specifically for a porch goose now.

 

Awesome Seasonal Outfits for a Porch Goose

My daughter plans to change her porch goose outfits each month, according to the weather or season.  Of course, there are costume outfits for Halloween, but there are also special outfits for all of the holidays.  You can even select a bundle package of costumes to get started.  Buying a bundle is less expensive than purchasing them individually.

How to Get Your Own Porch Goose

My daughter painted a concrete porch goose, but most of us don't have a concrete figure store close to us.  Plus, the 23" concrete porch goose weights over 40 lbs.  If you plan to set your porch goose on your recessed or enclosed porch, you may well prefer one made of resin that is easier to move.  These options also have a place to fill the base with sand or gravel to keep it from toppling in bad weather.  Then, you can simply enjoy changing your porch goose outfits seasonally too.

Stainless Steel Baking Rings ~ A Product Review and Recipe

Well, I know that everyone has their favorite baking accessories in their kitchen and that many of them end up in junk drawers after a while, but, there are some that remain favorites all the time.

Confession time,  I don't bake as much as I would like to, but I have a hubby that does an amazing job at baking cookies, breads and all manner of goodies that could come from a kitchen.

We just finished travelling to Europe and one of our favorite spots was Nuremberg in Germany.  It is a famous spot for the Nazi Trials that were held in the courts.  But, it is also famous for it's Lebkuchen  cookies.  The are a type of gingerbread, so if you like gingerbread, this might just take you to a new level of cookie baking.

Lebkuchen is a German favorite and I'm sure that it will become one of yours too.  Not your typical gingerbread but a nutty, spicy and fragrant cookie that will have you wanting more and more after the first bite.

So here's the recipe:

2 eggs

7 oz sugar

4 1/4 oz ground almonds

3 1/2 oz ground hazelnuts

1 1/4 oz candied lemon peel, finely chopped

1 1/4 oz candied orange peel, finely chopped

1 teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract

1 tablespoon dark rum

1/8 tsp. ground cloves

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/8 tsp, baking powder

7 oz powdered sugar 

1/2 oz cocoa

1/2 tablespoon coconut oil

4 tablespoons hot water

I know, there are lots of really good things in this recipe and the secret is to really chop those candied lemons and oranges finely.  A food processor will work the best for this step.  

-Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and line your cookie sheet with a silicon mat, or grease the sheet well.

-Cream together the eggs and sugar until really thick and creamy

-mix in the spices rum, vanilla and candied peel, then fold in the nuts and baking powder

-bake at 300F for 25-35 minutes

Glaze half the cookies with a white  paste made of icing sugar and warm water (just enough water to make it flow)

Glaze the other half with a dark glaze made as above but with cocoa powder added.  

When they are glazed, cool completely and store in an airtight container in a cool place.  

I BET YOU CAN'T EAT JUST ONE!

Now here is the kitchen gadget that my hubby loves to make these cookies uniform in size.

 

These rings are just over 3 inches in diameter, stainless steel and easy for baking all kinds of goodies.  Easy to clean and useful in the kitchen for more than one purpose. Pancakes, English muffins, cookies and more.

Get yourself some baking rings and go to town with some really interesting recipes that your whole family will enjoy. Sweet or savory, they can be used both ways.  Now don't get bent out of shape because these are also not easy to bend out either.  Chill and enjoy this great kitchen gadget.

Bride Flip Flops: There are a variety of designs that will work great for weddings; however there is no specific wedding category. There is a bride category though. These flip flops can be customized. Many brides are choosing comfort over style when it comes to their feet on their wedding day. I think that's pretty cool.

Butterfly Flip Flops: These butterflies might be considered more abstract, but I figured they'd be easier to find if I placed them in a Butterfly category.

Christmas Flip Flops: Flip flops are considered a warm weather shoe or sandal. For those who find themselves in a warm weather location over the Christmas and winter holidays, their flip flops can still fit the season.

Floral Flip Flops: Here you will find a mix of realistic, photo, and abstract designs.

Fruit Flip Flops: As of the writing of this blog, the current choices are lemons, realistic pineapples, and more artistic pineapples.

New Products: As mentioned in my earlier blogs about my various stores on Zazzle, the New Products category is automatically assigned by Zazzle. There are usually no products in this category, unless I happen to assign a category when designing a product.

Patriotic Flip Flops: Here you will find a couple of fireworks designs, and a star pattern design in red, white, and blue.

Patterns and Shapes: The Patterns and Shapes category was growing. Instead of making subcategories for this, I made two additional categories; one being Polka Dot Flip Flops, and the other one being Striped Flip Flops. The remaining designs in this category includes hearts, circles, weave patterns, and more.

Polka Dot Flip Flops: There are several colors to choose from here, and also a couple of black and white designs.

Striped Flip Flops: There are a variety of striped patterns and colors to choose from here. This is my favorite striped pattern. It reminds me of the straight swirled candies that you can find in places like Cracker Barrel.

Dust Brushes for Dusting Legos and Other Collectibles Reviewed

Dusting my son's Lego creations has presented quite a challenge for me for many years.  In the past, I've tried dusting them with the Swiffer dusters, feather dusters, and dusting gloves.  I've even tried blowing the dust off of them.  While all of these options have worked to some degree, none have fully removed the dust from all of the crevices of a completed Lego masterpiece.  Dusting between the Lego brick studs is nearly impossible once a set is complete.

We recently had to repair a wall after the plumbers had to cut out a section to get to a leaking pipe.  The drywall repair required sanding the wall.  Even though I had covered the Legos, fine dust still managed to get all over the Lego buildings, vehicles and figures. Desperation lead me to search for dusting brushes that would fit between the Lego studs.  

Below are the brushes I selected and they are fabulous!  It took time to dust each Lego creation carefully, but the brushes did get all visible dust off of them.  Now, when I go to battle with the dust that has settled on my son's Lego models, I will be properly prepared to walk away the victor.

 

These dusting brushes can be used on other collectibles too!

Set of 2 Lego Dusting Brushes

 2 Pack Exquisite Dusting Brush Kit, Dust Brushes, Car Detailing Brush, Feather Duster Brush for Models, Craf, Collectibles,Computers, Digital Devices, Car Interior, Musical InstrumentsCheck PriceThere are two different styles of microfiber brushes in the set.  One is thin with stiffer bristles which is great for getting between the Lego brick studs.  The other brush is full and softer which is perfect for dusting the flat pieces, the fabric parts, and the sails on the ships.

These dusting brushes can be used on other collectibles as well.  The soft brush is soft enough to use on doll faces or to carefully swipe down the doll's hair without pulling it loose.

They would also be great for dusting a variety of finished crafts like a Sailor's Valentine, a mosaic picture, or a beaded cross stitch project.  As a matter of fact, they did such a good job on the Legos, I purchased a second set for my other collectibles and intricate decor.  Of course, I could use the same brushes for everything, but I want to leave the first set with my son just for his Legos.

To clean the brushes, simply take them outside and blow them off or brush them against a cloth to remove the dust.

Overview of ScrapbookBackgrounds on Zazzle

This is the sixth of a seven part series of my various stores on Zazzle.

This store features my designs on double sided paper, rubber stamps, and custom binders that can be used for this fun and creative scrapbooking craft. Besides scrapbooking, these fun paper choices can be used in card making, creating vision boards, and more. What might you make with scrapbook paper?

Scrapbook Paper

New Products:

The first category listed in this store is New Products, which is a catch category in case I didn't already select a category when I designed the product. This category is automatically included by Zazzle.

The remaining categories are Scrapbook Albums, Scrapbook Paper, and Scrapbooking Stamps.

Scrapbook Albums:

Binders are used for the scrapbook albums and they can also be used as photo albums. So far, there are options for baby, graduation, and wedding. There aren't any subcategories at this point. The main design is on the front, and parts of that design are included on the spine and back. The graduation binder is an example.

Custom Graduation Binders
by ScrapbookBackgrounds

Scrapbook Paper:

There are a variety of subcategories in the Scrapbook Paper section. I did not include a specific subcategory for Wedding, as many of the blends, heart designs, patterns, etc., can be used for wedding backgrounds as well as for other themes and events, as in this turquoise polka dot option. I can see this being a pretty background design for a turquoise or teal themed wedding or even as stationery.

Teal Polka Dots on White Turquoise Scrapbook Paper
by ScrapbookBackgrounds

As of this writing, the current subcategories are: Abstract, Affirmations, Animal Prints, Autumn, Baby, Blends, Blue, Christmas, Floral, Graduation, Halloween, Heart, Patterns and Shapes, Peace, Pink, Rustic and Vintage, Shamrock, Swirl, and Turquoise.

There can be quite a few that overlap in these subcategories; you may want to search for a particular color, design type, etc., to help locate the design theme that you are looking for.

Scrapbook Stamps:

These are rubber stamps, used for stamping. There are a variety of designs here to choose from, but currently no subcategories. It is just shy of having more than one page of items to peruse. When ordering a rubber stamp and looking a product page, Zazzle will show you the colors of ink pads that are available for purchase.

Quite a few of these designs are outline designs, which one can color in whenever they are making their paper craft design. For instance, the umbrella drawing can be used for a rainy day card, or a scrapbook featuring baby. The umbrella and handle can be colored in, by hand, to coordinate with whatever you are creating.

Simple Umbrella Outline, Rubber Stamps
by ScrapbookBackgrounds

A lot of these backgrounds can be found in the scrapbook paper in paperbacks that I designed using Canva. I have posted these paperbacks on Amazon through KDP. Many of the designs in the paperbacks are further embellished with different items from Canva. You can check out my index of these paperback books here for your scrapbooking and other paper creation desires: Cheryl Paton Scrapbook Paper.

Thank you for visiting. Your comments and questions are welcome. Happy scrapbooking.

Mini Colander Reviewed

I have several colanders in my kitchen, but the one I most often grab is my mini colander. 

When I first purchased my mini colander, I bought it for rinsing small bunches of fruit, like a few strawberries at one time.  I have been very surprised by how many different food products I now rinse with it.  Just about everything I need to rinse/strain can be contained in the small mini colander.  The Great Northern beans shown in my picture on the right, is the entire 1 lb. package of beans.

I also appreciate how lightweight the mini colander is to hold.  So much easier to use than a large colander.  It has a raised base and easily sits in my half sink.  Larger colanders require the larger side in my double sink and get in the way when I am trying to work in the kitchen.  

My mini colander is dishwasher safe and takes up a lot less room in the top shelf of my dishwasher.  That is a huge benefit to using the mini colander. 

I purchased my Good Cook Profreshionals Mini Colander at Kroger, but Amazon has similar mini colanders available for purchase and delivery convenience.  Sometimes it is very hard to find exactly what you want in a brick and mortar store.  

 

Mini Colanders 

I measured my mini colander at 6.25 W (not including the handles) x 2.75 H inches.  It is small enough to sit inside my smallest glass mixing bowl which makes it very easy to store.  I sure wish I had purchased more than one, but I am thrilled to find similar colanders available on Amazon.

Overview of PositiveAffirmation on Zazzle

This is the fifth of a seven part series of my various stores on Zazzle.

This store is called PositiveAffirmation. I already had an Affirmation category in my CherylsArt store on Zazzle; however, it kept growing. To keep things cleaner, I created another store, also featuring affirmation products. My intent was to have all new designs in this new store, but I inadvertently had some overlap. For the most part though, the designs in these two stores are mostly unique to each of these stores.

The categories, so far, in my PositiveAffirmation store on Zazzle are:

Apparel and Accessories:

Here you will find Aprons, Belt Buckles, Pin on buttons, Hats, Necklaces, Ties, Tote Bags, and Tshirts.

Some of the designs in this store are simple one word affirmations. The words are usually made from a cutout letter font, featuring a photo of some of my flowers for the inside of each outlined letter. I think they give an extra added appeal to the affirmation.

by PositiveAffirmation

Home, Pets, Car:

The Home, Pets, Car category includes, Car (products), Clocks, Keychains, Kitchen, Luggage Tags, Ornaments, Pillows, Posters, Signs, Tiles, and Wall Art.

I usually write in an affirmation, but on this particular design, I made a template that is to be filled in with the person's own favorite affirmation. I know that using a mirror when reciting my affirmations have proven to be very helpful, and wanted to encourage others to try the same method. I designed the artwork for the mirror.

New Products:

The New Products category is automatically an option by Zazzle, assigning any newly created product here, if the designer doesn't already give the new product a category, when designing it. This category is usually empty.

Office and School:

This category includes Binders, Business Cards, Dry Erase Boards, Mousepads, Notebooks, and Stickers.

An affirmation can serve as subtle reminders each time we see it, i.e. when we see it on our notebook.

Life is full of abundance, Day Lily Notebooks
by PositiveAffirmation

Sports, Toys, and Games:

As of this writing, there are only two items in this Category, so there are no subcategories as of yet. At some time, there will be more. Your suggestions and requests are welcome. As well as any requests for other categories too.

Stationery:

The Stationery category includes Address Labels, Cards, Notepads, Postcards, and Stationery.

Address labels may be thought of as pretty small for an affirmation, however a simple reminder to Give Thanks can be a timely reminder for Thanksgiving, as well as throughout the year.

Swiffer Duster Makes Cleaning Easier

No one wants to spend a lot of time cleaning their house, even though we all prefer a clean home.  I always appreciate anything that makes my housework easier.  For many years, I have been dusting with the Swiffer Dusters with the short handle.  They really do make dusting the furniture a lot faster and easier.  I recently started using the long handle Swiffer Duster and found it to be a dream come true.

I am barely over 5 feet tall, therefore reaching the top of any tall piece of furniture like the TV cabinet, or the tops of picture frames, is impossible for me without a step stool.  At least, that was true before I tried the long handle Swiffer duster.  Now, I can stand on the floor and reach the top of any furniture or pictures in my home.  If I stand on my tip-toes and have the long handle fully extended, I can even dust the crown molding around my ceiling.  That is pretty amazing! 

At first, I thought the long handle was flimsy when fully extended. However, I have come to appreciate that slight flexibility as I realize it will not press hard enough to scratch anything I am dusting.  I would rather it feel flimsy than to have it damage anything.  Plus, it is extremely lightweight.

 Swiffer Dusters Heavy Duty 3 ft Extended Handle with Pivot TopCheck Price The kit I originally purchased came with a 3 ft. handle and several duster refills to get started.  I can shorten the adjustable handle to about 15 inches if desired, but I often leave it fully extended and use the original short-handle duster as needed.  However, there are times when I don't wish to carry both around the house with me.  Being able to adjust the long handle, makes it possible to dust a room with only the one Swiffer.   The top of the handle will also pivot which allows me to run it across the entire top of a picture frame without having to climb up on my step stool.

The most recent duster refills that I purchased came with "dust busting strips" to help dust more thoroughly in places where dust tends to build-up, like the top of my refrigerator or the inside of AC vents.  

I highly recommend both the short handle Swiffer duster and the long adjustable handle Swiffer duster to make dusting faster and easier.  There are better things in life to do than spend your day dusting!

Overview of MazePuzzles on Zazzle

This is the fourth of a seven part series of my various stores on Zazzle.

The store that I'm reviewing here is MazePuzzles. I already had a Birthday category in my CherylsArt store on Zazzle; however, I knew that I wanted to make a variety of maze puzzle themes, so I went with creating a store for just this theme. Another thing that sets this store apart from my CherylsArt store, is that I used very little of my own artwork in designing these maze puzzles. I created most of these puzzle designs from designs on Canva, of which I subscribe to.

In my MazePuzzles store, I show the Collections first on the landing page; these are sorted alphabetically by theme, followed by product type. A design theme collection is the perfect place to look if you're planning a themed birthday party. There you will find all the different products for that particular theme.

The product type collection is the perfect place to look if you know you just want a birthday card, or want to see all the different designs in one easy to look at place.

Here are how the product categories are arranged in my MazePuzzles store.

Birthday Maze Greeting Cards:

It's great seeing all the different maze puzzles pictured in one easy to view location. It can help you decide which maze puzzle you want to go with. The maze puzzles not only include different animals and such, the puzzle themselves range from pretty easy to somewhat harder.

The Monkey and Bananas maze can be considered easy or hard, depending on whether the overlapping vines might offer just some added fun or confusion!

Birthday Maze Invitations:

Here is another option for inviting your guests. The invitations differ from the greeting cards, as there was enough room to add the party details to the front of the cards.

Birthday Maze Notepads:

Birthday Maze Notepads can be a fun addition to a maze puzzle themed birthday party. All the kids can work a puzzle while they're waiting for cake to be served, or in between game playing, etc. The notepads are 5.5 inches by 6 inches and there are 40 sheets per pad, making it easy for kids to try again should their sheet get messed up. A larger, 8.5 by 11 inch option is available, but the purchasers would need to edit their selection to get the whole design to fit within the printing area.

Birthday Maze Paper Plates:

The maze puzzles are offered on the 7 inch square paper plates. The square can also be ordered on 9 inch. There are also round plates offered in the same sizes as the square plates, and also a round 7 inch bowl.

Birthday Maze Postcards:

The postcards can be used instead of greeting cards or invitations, to invite the guests. It can save on paper usage and possibly postage.

Birthday Maze Napkins:

The maze theme is printed on paper napkins. All of the items in this store are easy to personalize using the provided template forms.

Maze Puzzle Paper Cups:

The maze puzzle design is just printed on one side of the paper cups. Having hosted birthday parties before at an art store, I could just imagine young kids turning their cups all around to view the maze puzzle from alternate sides, and then you know what might happen next. Anyway, I decided to go with the one sided view!

Birthday Maze Yard Signs:

The yard signs are a fun way to show guests where the party is. These signs are printed on lightweight, weather resistant, corrugated plastic, that is 4 mm thick. They are listed to last for 6-9 months for outdoor use, depending on weather conditions. They come in a choice of shapes, including circle, house, helmet, and arrow. Various sizes are offered for the different shapes. You may need to edit to get the design to fit into whichever shape and or size that you select.
