Deck them halls and all that stuff
Photo-A-Day #1344

I think that I’m out of my funk with the weather. At least with the photography side of things I am out of the funk. I came home to see that Allison had really done a great job of decorating the house. So I took advantage of that and decided to shoot some low light photos of the mantle. That hurricane lamp has been buried for a while and I was happy to dig it out this past week when Allison and Eva were away. We’ll be picking up some little silver balls to put in it as well.

Today was also very busy in my Big Box of Awesome! Even more people decided to go looking around in it. Check out who had their nose in the Big Box of Awesome!

Michelle from ZenGrrl dot com is going to make me a nice card with the software that you can have if you win BenSpark’s Big Box of Awesome!

Olga The Traveling Bra found a Mouse Pad in BenSpark’s Big Box of Awesome. That is the only “padding” you are gonna find on her blog.

Alli of Always Alli has is planning for the next 12 months because she found BenSpark’s 2009 Photo-A-Day Calendar in An awesome box that sadly, isn’t mine

The IZEA Insiders are set to launch a couple of great contests and we haven’t even officially begun yet. But the rest of the insiders and I are geared up and ready to go. We are recruiting people for our Crews (Leave a comment or use my contact page if you are interested in being a part of my crew, The “I’m Not A Famous Blogger” Crew)

One of the contests will start on December 16th. I can’t say anything about it until then but it will be great! The other one just popped up for us today. That is each one of us was offered a ticket to Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas. I must have slipped up on my meds today because I said I didn’t want a ticket, I have no vacation time left. But then when I snapped out of it I realized that I was being offered a ticket that I could give away. I may be too late to give one away So if it is and you want to try and win a ticket from the other IZEA Insiders here are their links.

Heather of the TEDHeads crew has a ticket to give away.

Chocolate chip cookies in the mail…

4 Comments

Today I received a package in the mail of products to test out and review. They were from Vat19.com. This site has many great fun items if the three I received were any indication of what they have available. I received some Insta Snow Fake Snow Powder (I am going to save that for a practical joke at work and video that.). I also received some Color Flames Colored Candles that have colored flames. Those look like they will be fun at the next birthday party. I will have to try one of them soon too. Who’s birthday is coming up next. And the third item I received made me thing that maybe I had received some chocolate chip cookies in the mail was 1 Smencils Gourmet Scented Pencil. My Smencil was obviously chocolate scented and I really shouldn’t have used it to write the shopping list for the week as I ended up just listing things like, brownies, chocolate kisses and chocolate chip cookies.

1 Smencils Gourmet Scented Pencil

The Smencil is a good idea for a few reasons. First of all they are made from recycled newspapers and one newspaper can make 400 Smencils. The Smencils come in packs of 10, each one in its own tube and they give off more scent when sharpened. there are 10 flavors including Chocolate, Orange, Cherry, Cotton Candy, Grape, Watermelon, Popcorn, Root beer, Very Berry, and Bubble Gum.

An Item that Vat19.com has but I didn’t receive is a USB Xmas Tree. Being the gadget lover I would have truly enjoyed some holiday cheer on my desk at work with this sweet little USB tree. It would totally rock out on my desk at work.
