I was the very lucky winner of the Rock-It speaker sponsored by Eli's Treasure,THANK YOU to Rantings Of A Mom AND Eli's Treasure for the opportunity to win this prize!
Here is my review of it:This little thing is amazing! Watch the video, and you will see the way it works...u put it on anything hollow (a cereal box, an upside down pot, a vase, a cabinet door, ANYTHING!) and that thing is instantly a speaker! We played with it for hours the first night we got it, moving it from place to place to hear the different tones it put out when placed on different places...My husband then took it to work with him and freaked out his work-buddies with it! Anything with a headphone jack is instantly equipped with a decent speaker that you can actually hear. Depending on what item you choose to put it on, you can manipulate the sound to be more bass, or more treble, or just balanced. I have no idea how this thing works so well, but I know it does. This will be a great gift item for all those that have mobile listening devices...small enough to keep in your glovebox, this can travel anywhere, and you have instant music for everyone, not just the ipod headphone listener! You can use it with batteries if u r concerned about it taking power from the item that it is amplifying, or without batteries if u r not. (for example...without batteries for a laptop that is plugged in or something that has long battery life) 2 thumbs enthusiastically way up! Get em for everyone on your Christmas list! P.S. we also use it on our computer to watch movies, or youtube type stuff...the speakers on the laptop are not so great, but the Rock-it makes it sound great! Thanks again to Rantings of amom and Eli's Treasure!

Thank you so much Cathy! This really means a lot to us and to Vermont Irene Flood Relief Fund - they are doing such a great job of helping out those who really need it right now. I will be posting the artists tonight.

Once again, thank you very much for helping us spread the word :)

I am always Christmas shopping. I get the gifts as I see them and they fit in my budget. Then, in November, I open my closet where I stash gifts and see who's getting lucky!

I usually shop all year, but will start to really hone in on sales for Christmas gifts beginning July.

I guess you can say I shop all year long. Just not necessarily holiday shop as I do not celebrate Christmas... I am forever picking up gifts for people as I see something I know someone will like, if that counts. :]

I tried cloth diapers but I just couldn't keep up with them. :-( My hubby would have loved a set of Arkansas one though :-) New follower from the Make Your Rank Lower Monday blog hop.

Yay, Kathy! I'd stick it in the glove compartment of my car. Although - I totally don't understand how one pump of sanitizer can last a day, since we're constantly faced with new germs. hipmamae@gmail.com

I remember that day too. You had to run out and buy, like, everything! And then you brought him for me to see. He was so little... Tell him to stop growing!

2011-03-22T22:56:03.432-05:00

I can't believe all you've been through. And I mean ALL! Going way back. You're a strong woman and a good mother, daughter, wife, friend and customer. I hope you never lose sight of that and I'm so glad you got this healing week with your Dad- a much deserved silver lining...

2011-03-22T07:24:27.585-05:00

Glad your dad came through for you when you really needed him. Hope it's the start of something you can move forward with.

And holy crap! I was scared of needles in my back before this. Now? Terrified! Glad you're at least well enough to participate in life again.

2011-03-03T09:44:18.464-06:00

Well put, Cathy. And thanks for the cupcake store recommendation. I started thinking about how many stores I've been to and WOW - it's a lot. Almost embarrassing. And yes, I'm eating more tonight!

This sounds horrible. I hope you get relief.

I know that it is harder to live than it is to say, but know this:

They don't have a clue.
You don't owe them ANY explanations.

You don't need or require theirs or anyone's permission to BE YOURSELF.

And if they don't like it, tell them to have a coke and a smile and shut the FFFF up!

love ya,

Anna

That is hilarious.
