My Mixed Nuts

Recently I won 2 different bags of trail mix from Peaches and Cream Giveaway site and My Mixed Nuts. I am a big trail mix fan and eat some almost daily as a protein boosting snack. When I tried my first bag, Sugar and Spice, I could not believe how awesome and fresh this mix is. I was in heaven. And the Jelly Beans and Gummi Bears were the perfect addition to this mix.

I now have found that My Mixed Nuts is also sponsoring a giveaway on sugarpopribbons.blogspot.com/2010/07/my-mixed-nuts-review-giveaway.html and I am entering with the hopes of getting the chance to savor that flavor again.

If there is someone in your family that is a trail mix nut you have got to get them to try My Mixed Nuts. I promise they won't be unhappy!

Bea's Gift Baskets

I would like to share with you my great experience with Bea's Gift baskets! I was fortunate enough to win a Father's Day gidt basket through Mommy's Memorandum Blog giveaway site at

http://jonbonjovious.blogspot.com . I was thrilled to win this as it sure made my job easier for DH for Father's Day as I have Lupus and usually DH drives when we go out and is always with me!

The Father's Day Basket arrived promptly and was very cute and attractive and I couldn't wait to give it to him! So Father's Day arrived and he was presented with his gift! He really liked it and immediately, like a school child, tore open the packaging. Inside the basket were various goodies. Some were tasty but there was an issue with several items being stale and just not good at all. DH was a bit disappointed.

I struggled with the idea of contacting Julee from Mommy's Memorandum about the issues as this was won and not paid for. But then on the other hand Bea may have an issue she is not aware of with some of her product so I sent Julee an email. Within minutes of Bea hearing from Julee she emailed me! She wanted to make it right for me and she said she felt really bad. I hesitated as she said she would send a new basket. I told her that wasn't necessary as some of the stuff was good and the packaging was adorable and that if she wanted to do something just send a few little goodies for my DH. She asked what we would like and I finally told her coffee or something similar would be good, expecting maybe a few small flavored coffee packets or something.

A few days later the doorbell rang and the replacement was here. Boy this is a big box I thought to myself! I opened the box and inside was an absolutely gorgeous gift basket full of coffees, creamers, biscottis, and other breakfast items. I was speechless. Bea had gone totally out of her way to make amends and I let her know that! She is such a sweetheart and said this was how she wanted to make it right. I cannot tell you how wonderful the experience was working with Bea and I can truly say I personally buy from her without hesitation as her baskets are lovely and she made things more than right. She truly cares about her business and it shows!

I feel like through all this with Bea I came out friends and I think she is wonderful! So when you get a chance check out her site!http://store.beasgiftbaskets.com/StoreFront.bok

Phd's Pocket Disc

Mom's Focus on Cyberworld, http://momsfocusonline.com/giveaway-the-phds-pocket-colorful-flying-disc-ends-july-15.html is giving away the coolest thing. They are giving away a Frisbee type toy that is a handmade crocheted disc.

This disc was discovered on accident and was born out of a child's school project! These discs are now being made in Guatemala and helping them earn a fair wage.

I would really love this prize for my son that is in the US Navy. He doesn't get much time off but when he does he loves to play Disc Golf which seems to be a growing sport!

The Good Ole Days

When I was in my 20's I was into the punk scene and loved the Sex Pistols. My ex-husband even sang in a Punk band called the Wankers.

Sid Viscious and the Sex Pistols were the leaders in this music scene. And his story also has become a legend with those of us old die hard fans! In years past I watch Sid and Nancy over and over again, along with the Doors! I loved these movies but hated what Sid did to himself and his life. He was so talented and had a lot going for him but his herion addiction did him in at a VERY young age and it was so sad.

I will be very interested to see this movie and this part of his life story. I was just talking about Sid to my daughter the other day!

This movie is being given away at http://sweeps4bloggers.com/?p=6044&cpage=3#comment-353290

I sure hope I win! Wish me luck!
