Jamie Rae Hats for girls

 

My girls have matching flower hats made by Jamie Rae Hats.  Aren't they adorable?

While I don't know exactly which store these were purchased, I did find a store that has so many different colors & styles: Maddie's Closet.  I believe ours is the Rose style, as opposed to Peony or Daisy.

Cardboard Playhouse

My children received a wonderful present this Christmas from their aunt: a cardboard playhouse.

We spent about 30 minutes coloring it (my girls are young, so they lack the patience to keep going).  But, we did do all of this TOGETHER, and it was a BLAST!  

Assembly took just 15 minutes with the instructions.

Tah Dah!

Big enough for 3 (or more!)

 I recommend this product for anyone with children.  It is a lot of fun!  See:

These houses can be found in all many shapes like castles or cottages at Amazon.com from $22 to $80. I also saw them at UnCommonGoods.com (a great place to find unique gifts).

VuPoint Magic Wand Portable Scanner

My best friend bought her husband a really awesome Christmas gift this year: a wand scanner.

Never heard of one? Neither had I!

I planned to scan my old photographs on our office copier, but her wand scanner is WAY simpler!

Similar to ironing, you press the wand over your photo completely. Plug the wand into a USB connector to your computer to retrieve the scanned photo. Crop the edges with your photo editor, save, and you're done!

What do you think? Pretty cool!
