15 Piece Art Paint Brushes Set

This is a really nice paint brush set. First let me state I am not an artist. I actually got this set just do use with crafts for the house and with my daughter. The set came in a really nice zipper case that is black. There are 15 paint brushes. Each brush has a slot which helps keep the brushes neat and organized. When I first got this set of brushes the bristles where stiff. This is on purpose to keep them nice. Once you stick the brush in water and let it soak the bristles get soft like they should be. This set came with brushes ranging in all sizes. I like that there are some large brushes that will be good for painting larger areas and then some really mall brushes for fine details. They also range in brush type. There are straight edge ones & angled ones. I am not an expert on types of brushes and quality. These brushes seem like they are good quality but you can tell they aren't the best. The larger brush I was using the gold metal part jiggled a bit. These brushes will be perfect for our needs and uses.

I received this product free. This however, is my personal, honest, and fair review

500 Piece Craft Making Pom Poms

My daughter loved these craft pom poms. She saw them sitting on the table and kept asking me when she could play with them. She just wanted to touch them and look at all the bright colors. This package came with 500 small colorful pom poms. These are perfect for kid crafts. My daughter insisted we make a Christmas tree with them yesterday so we tried them out. We used Elmer's white glue and were easily able to glue them onto green construction paper. My daughter was able to manipulate the pom poms easily and get them where she wanted. They made an adorable decorated Christmas tree. I know we will use these for several kid crafts. I think there will be several Christmas trees hung around our home. 

As a mom I like that these pom poms came in a resealable plastic pouch. I can easily stick this pouch into my craft bin and not sorry about pom poms ending up all over the bin. Also did you see this comes with 500! that's A lot! 

These pom poms are small. They are smaller than I expected. They still work perfectly well though.

Orblue Pastry Cutter (Pastry Blender)

I like to bake... I used to bake a lot but now I have a child and I don't bake as often. However my little girl loves to help me and she loves muffins. Muffins taste so much better when they have that sweet crumb topping. You know the one... It's got brown sugar, butter 7 flower. Then the recipe says to use a Pastry cutter(also called a Pastry Blender) to make the crumbs. What is a pastry cutter is what I always said. My mom told me to just use to butter knives and it will do the trick. It works but it never comes out perfect. I want the good crumb topping. Well I have to say I am now the proud owner of this very “rare” baking tool: "The Pastry cutter". I can now make those awesome crumbs for my pumpkin muffins. You know those awesome crumbs that take any muffin from boring to excellent. I was super excited to try it out. Of course my daughter insisted on trying also. She needed to get her cute little hands on my pastry cutter and so I decided she could be my hand model for this post. My pictures are just with flour because when she helps out I give her a separate bowl with just flour so she can "help" and have her own baking bowl.

This pastry cutter has a great rubber grip handle which makes it easy to get a good grip on it. The body of the tool is stainless steel and really easy to clean. It appears and works just like your typical pastry cutter. There are 4 metal blades that do the magic of a pastry cutter. The metal blades aren't too sharp and therefore aren't dangerous for little ones to try with supervision of course. When I tested it with butter, flour, & brown sugar the cutter worked well to make crumbs. You sort of rock the pastry cutter back and forth and move the ingredients around and the crumbs form. It does take a little work to get good crumbs but we were satisfied with the results.

OTBBA HDMI Cable - 6 Feet

My husband has some movies downloaded onto his computer and sometimes we want to watch a movie from our computer. We have tried to figure out how to connect the computer to our TV and found that the best way is using an HDMI cable. We had just 1 HDMI cable that was used for our cable. We really needed a second cable. Well this new cable works perfectly for us. It's a pretty simple cable. It has HDMI connectors on either side and easily connects from the laptop to the TV. The cable is 6 feet and plenty long. The cable is a high speed cable and seems to work without any hang ups. The wire seems durable and has a thick insulation.
