Draw-A-Saurus Drawing Book By James Silvani Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

Random_House_logo

My seven-year-old loves drawing and he’s really becoming quite the artist.  He was thrilled to see Draw-A-Saurus arrive.  A quick scan of  the pages filled him with inspiration to create.  I have no doubt our home will be filled with his dinosaur drawings and I am sure his little brother will be trying his best to follow right along.  If you have a dino-loving artist in your home or on your gift list this holiday season, this book would be the perfect fit!  Mommy Ramblings is adding Draw-A-Saurus to our 2014 Holiday Gift Guide.  Keep reading to see how you can win a copy in our giveaway.

This in-depth yet accessible dinosaur drawing guide combines humor, creativity, and the latest dino research to show artists young and old how to breathe life into drawings of their prehistoric favorites. 

Draw A Saurus Book mR
Prehistoric Pencil Power!
Even though they lived some 65 million years ago, dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles continue to rule today. From movies to comics and cartoons, these ancient, giant beasts are everywhere you turn. Of course, who wants to just read about or watch these dinos when you can learn how to use pencils, pens, markers, and more to draw your very own?

Cartoonist James Silvani combines easy-to-follow art exercises with the latest, greatest dino-facts to help you create fun and cool dinosaur doodles all by yourself. With lessons on old favorites like T-rex and stegosaurus, as well as lesser-known (but still awesome) creatures like the massive argentinosaurus, Draw-a-Saurus has everything the dinosaur fan could ever ask for (outside of their very own pet dino!).

Of all the creatures to walk the earth, nothing captures the imagination and fascination of children (and children at heart) quite like dinosaurs. Even though they lived 65 million years ago, dinosaurs are morepresent than ever in movies, comics and cartoons. Draw-A-Saurus takes readers on a pre-historicadventure, giving expert lessons on drawing their favorite dinosaurs.An accomplished cartoonist that has worked for Disney, Marvel, and Dreamworks, James Silvaniknows how to break down these complex creatures into easy, step-by-step lessons that make drawingthese colossal creatures an accessible and fun activity.  Draw-A-Saurus is more than your average doodle book. Each dino-drawing lesson is accompanied by fun facts and the latest information on old favorites like T-rex and velociraptors, along with some less heard of (but equally awesome) dinosaurs like:
  • Struthiomius, who has a beak instead of teeth
  • Pteranodon, whose hands and fingers evolved into wings
  • Protoceratops, who was roughly the size of a sheep!
  • Argentinosaurus, the largest animal to ever walk the earth

With easy-to-follow art exercises that mix creativity with the latest dino-facts, Draw-A-Saurus has everything the dinosaur fan could ever ask for. 

JAMES SILVANI is an artist and illustrator and has drawn characters for Disney, Warner Bros.,Dreamworks, Lucasfilm, and Marvel Comics. Currently he is a comic book illustrator for titles likeDisney’s Mickey Mouse, DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, and The Muppets. Silvani has drawn dinosaursand other prehistoric beasts since childhood, and now puts those skills to use in art workshops atlibraries, schools, and comic book conventions. Silvani is a resident of Kihei, Hawaii.

Old Factory Handmade, Soy Candle Gift Set Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

I always know when it’s going to snow, I can smell it in the air.  Sure enough, I’m always right.  There’s  such excitement in my youngest children as we move closer to the holidays. As the scents of the season fall upon us so does the magic of the holidays.  It is nice to take some time to relax from all the hustle and bustel and jsut soak in those moments.  A nice long soak in a hot tub is my reward for braving crowds, wrapping endless presents and  baking a gazillion cookies.  A nice bath with dim lights and candles is a sanctuary of relaxation.

I recently had the chance to sample an Old Factory Candles gift set.  Old Factory  natural soy wax candles are  handmade  in the USA .  Available exclusively through Amazon.com they come in packs of 3 and make a wonderful gift this holiday season.  Each candle burns clean for over 20 hours and the simple jar compliments any decor or room of the house.  The candles come with a 100% guarantee of satisfaction or a full refund.

I chose the Winter Wonderland 3 Pack and it contains 1 Hot Cocoa, 1 Roasted Chestnut and 1 First Snow Candle.  The scents are so relaxing and just take me away to the magic of the holiday season.  Give the candles as a set or individually they make great stocking stuffers.  Mommy Ramblings has added Old Factory Candles to our 2014 Holiday Gift Guide.  Check out all the great 3 pack scents below.  Gift wrapping is also available to really help you out this holiday season!

ChargeHub Universal 7 Port Charger and CableHub Review & Giveaway!!! 2014 #HolidayGiftGuide Pick

ChargHub Logo

We are a very high-tech household, the amount of tablets and smartphones that need charging could be intimidating.  It’s nice to have charging stations throughout the house.  Looking for something that can connect multiple devices neatly is hard to find.  The ChargeHub  was  the answer to our needs, a universal charger with 7 USB dedicated charging ports that deliver 48 Watts of power even with 7 devices simultaneously attached.  The ChargeHub was awarded Best of CES 2014 by iPhone Life Magazine as one of the most innovative new iOS related products.

The ChargeHub was designed and developed by Limitless Innovations, Inc.   The ChargeHub was born when they identified a market for a USB mobile device charger unlike any on the market.  The ChargeHub impressed us with its versatility and power.  Patent-pending SmartSpeed Technology allow any port to charge the connected device at max charging speed regardless of whether it’s an Apple iOS or Android device.

We attached iOS and Android devices and they all charged fast and fully. The CableLinx Value Pack contains 4 short-length USB charge and sync cables for the 4 most common types of tech devices on the market today.  These flat cables are great for connecting our devices to the ChargeHub and gives us a nice neat charging station look for any area of our home.

CableLinx Value Pack Black

You may notice the familiar picture on our ChargeHub, that’s another great feature.  There’s a free online DesignStudio that allows users to personalize their ChargeHub with photos, text, logos or graphics.  This makes it a perfect choice for fundraising or to give as promotional gifts!

CableHub Package

 

CableHub White

You can wrap cords up to 10 feet long around the weighted disc and snap the unit shut.  It was a simple process to contain the long cords many of our devices have for charging to make the charging area tidy and safe.  The CableHub is a personalized cable organizer available in 13 colors and 2 shapes.  Use the online DesignStudio to customize the top with a personal photo, logo, text or artwork.  The CableHub will beautify your space by cutting cord clutter and showcasing your unique design.

Updates and a Sneak Peek At Upcoming Giveaways!!! #Lundby #iCube

Wow, it has been a busy few days.  My youngest little one was sick most of the week with a fever, cold and cough.  Poor little guy.  He got better just in time for Halloween and had a good time trick or treating.  It did get pretty cold even with a shirt and thick hoodie under his costume so we were more than ready to get home and enjoy some hot chocolate!  Hope you all had fun with your kiddies.

I have been busy working all week and finished a busy month with my marketing business.  I also have some great news to share.  I was hired as an instructor at an online blogger university to teach Time Management which will start this winter.  Lots of prep on that and more to come.  We are in the middle of a porch project and waiting for the few nice days this week to finish.  Soon we should have a reveal on that project.  Lots of other reveals to come.

Anyway, some upcoming giveaways you might like are one from iCube for multiple winners and another from Lundby.  Take a look at some sneak peek photos. We also have a steam mop with portable steam cleaner coming up too and much, much more!
