Hexbug Nano Infinity Loop V2 Habitat Set Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

Hexbug Logo

My little guys love the HEXBUG Nano bugs.  The new breed of gravity defying Nano V2 bugs can climb everywhere in the new Nano V2 habitat sets.  The Nano V2 Infinity Loop Habitat has a double loop open play area and comes with one Nano V2 bug.  This set is the perfect gift for any seasoned HEXBUG collector or a great introduction for anyone to the HEXBUG world.  Watch with awe as these jittery creatures climb up, down, around corners and through the loops and tubes.  The habitat is expandable so it can expand as your child’s collection expands.

 

The HEXBUG® Nano V2 is an evolved Nano, sporting a new look, with three rubber spikes on its back.  The tiny micro robotic creature uses the physics of vibration to scurry up through multiple levels of tubes, as high as your V2 set will take it, to explore its environment. The quick little critter can crawl through tubes on its feet or on its back, and can pass another bug in a single tube to avoid a traffic jam! The Nano V2 will even flip to its feet when landing on its back on an open flat surface. Nano V2 Assortment Infinity Loop

Patch Products, Flash & Furious, Frantically Fast, Fantastically Fun Game Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

Patch Products Logo

Are you ready for a great, fast paced, party or team game?  If so, let me tell you about Patch Products: Flash & Furious Game.  This game can be played with 2 or more players and you can play on teams with more than 4 players.  You need a referee to read the questions and keep track of the lights and answers. You can play with two without a referee but you will definitely want a referee with more than 2 players to keep track of things in this fast paced game.

Flash and Furious Game

First after choosing the referee, the players or teams choose a color.   Then the referee reads one of the  questions and taps the top of the game system to begin.  The light will flash a specific color and if it’s your color, you must answer the question quickly.  It can pick the same color several times, so you need to have your answers ready quick!  The players or teams keep going until one player repeats an answer or is stumped and then they press their color button to stop that round.  The losing player or team gets the card and that’s not a good thing because the player or team with the most cards loses!  This is a fun game to play at a party with teams!

Artsi, Plusheez Pals Bella Craft Kit Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

Artsi Logo

When I was growing up, latch hook rug and wall hanging kits were very popular.  It was an easy craft that literally anyone could do, but it took a long time to finish and was very tedious.  If you are looking for a fun, easy, craft idea for kids that will not require them to invest weeks or months to complete, you should check out the Artsi Plusheez kits.  We recently received an owl named Bella to review.

The Plusheez Pals Bella craft is so easy my four-year old could do it.  My little guys both were into this craft and as my four-year old put it, “It’s like you are giving the owl a shot!”  They were nearly finished when they took a break to play outside but they were able to complete it very easily and it’s so cute.  They got all excited to be able to make an adorable pillow to give to their cousin.

Adobe, Photoshop Elements 12 Review & Giveaway!!! 2 Winners!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

Adobe_logo

My photo editing software has long been Photoshop Elements.  I love the user-friendly format and have been using it for years.  I upgrade as the new versions come out and have recently upgraded to Photoshop Elements 12.  Every time a new version comes out it’s interesting to explore and find out the great new added features.

 

With Photoshop Elements 12 you will still be able to organize, edit, create, and share your photos but you can do it  more quickly and easily thanks to big, bold icons; a helpful Action bar; and the ability to choose from Quick, Guided, and Expert editing modes to fit your needs.  It has never been easier to sort and manage photos based on people, places, and events using new Organizer views. Find your photos using visual tags that represent people, places, pets, events, and objects.   Of course you will be able to create perfect shots from not so perfect pics with handy editing features that have been enhanced or added to Photoshop Elements 12!

adobe-photoshop-elements-12

Content Aware Move lets you easily move objects in your photo to get things to look the way you want.  We all take shots where everyone is not where we want them, right?  Now, take a look at how easily you can fix that.

You can also straighten photos and use Content Aware Fill to fill in any missing background, fix a  pet’s eyes with the new pet eye feature edit, use Photomerge Group Shot to take the best faces from a series of group shots and get one spectacular picture.  I love this feature, and it has let me get the perfect family photo more times than I can count.
You can share your photos easily right to social media sites with ease because now these options are available not only in the Organizer like previous versions, but right in the editor in Photoshop Elements 12!!!  In the quick mode you can now add artistic touches to your photos to put your personal touch on your favorite photos.  Add embellishments and frames to make your photos stand out, look at the video below to see just how easy it is!
New filters are available that let you turn your photos into stunning illustrations.  Try using the Comic, Graphic Novel, and Pen & Ink filters to get the WOW without all the work!  Want step by step guidance?  Now there are added edits available in the Guided edit mode.  You can restore old photos, make a photo puzzle or add neat effects like the Zoom Burst with ease!
As a wife, mom of 5, blogger, writer, editor, hobby photographer and marketing director, I rely on Photoshop Elements to let me get the look I want as easily and as quickly as I can when editing as many photos as I do.  Having the ability to easily organize, edit and share the thousands of photos I take is essential to what I do.  Photoshop Elements is my go to choice of editing software because it’s so user-friendly and it lets me make my photos pop.  I am loving Photoshop Elements 12 and I know you will too.  Mommy Ramblings thinks Photoshop Elements 12 make a great Holiday Gift for the photo moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons and more on your gift list.  You can find Photoshop Elements 12 on our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide!!!
