GNOMEO & JULIET Prize Package Giveaway! 2 Winners!

lilymaree@yahoo.com (Lily Bean Designs) — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 22:29:00 +0000

No doubt most of you that read this have seen the previews for Gnomeo & Juliet. I sure have, and from the moment I did, I had to see this movie. I have it marked on my calendar and am patiently awaiting it's arrival to theaters. I assume this spring there will be a boost of garden gnome sales. I will be buying some!

The greatest love story ever told, starring...garden gnomes? In the upcoming “Gnomeo & Juliet,” Shakespeare's revered tale gets a comical, off-the-wall makeover. Directed by Kelly Asbury (“Shrek 2”) and showcasing both classic and original songs by Elton John, the film features the voices of James McAvoy and Emily Blunt as Gnomeo and Juliet, who have as many obstacles to overcome as their quasi namesakes when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors. But with plastic pink flamingos and thrilling lawnmower races in the mix, can this young couple find lasting happiness?

This movie looks absolutely hilarious! I can't wait!

The best part is that I get to give two very lucky readers a prize package of Gnomeo & Juliet goodies! Included in each prize pack is a YOUTH size t-shirt (sizes S, M, L, XL), a knit beanie hat (one size fits all) and a handy gnome hat shaped mini-notebook (red on one side, blue on the other).
Each winner will receive one of each item. So one hat, one notebook, an done tee.

{How To Enter}

MANDATORY ENTRY
Tell me how excited you are for this movie, and who you would take to see it! This entry must be done before any of the additional entries.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 - February 1st!

lilymaree@yahoo.com (Lily Bean Designs) — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 03:05:00 +0000

Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 comes out on Blu-Ray DVD Combo Pack February 1st! I am so excited that I got to review this movie. I can't rave enough how cute it is! I love the story, and the puppies are adorable! I am a big George Lopez fan, so the fact that he is the voice of Papi is great! He does awesome! My whole family loved this movie and it is currently going through all of the DVD players. It's now available for viewing in the jeep! I am sure it will navigate back to the living room soon to be played a million more times.

From the creators of Beverly Hills Chihuahua, everybody’s favorite talking Chihuahuas are back in a comedy that’s a pack of outrageous fun for the whole family. Puppy mayhem turns the lives of newlywed Chihuahua parents, Papi and Chloe, upside down when their playful puppies present one challenge after another. But, when their human owners find themselves in trouble, the tiny pups will stop at nothing to save them—because in good times and hard times, the family always sticks together. Papi, Chloe and the puppies embark on a heroic adventure, proving once again that big heroes come in small packages.

PAPI’S PARENTING TIPS - Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 DVD and Blu-ray out February 1st, 2011!

lilymaree@yahoo.com (Lily Bean Designs) — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 04:55:00 +0000

PAPI’S PARENTING TIPS
Papi faces fatherhood in Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 – and it’s his toughest challenge yet! How does the doggy dad handle life with his pups? Well, he follows his very own set of parenting tips…

TIP ONE: ASK AWAY…
Papi says: “This dad business is harder than I thought. I should’ve read the manual – or at least some books! Don’t be scared to ask your friends and family for help or advice. After all, that’s what they’re here for. Oh, and invest in some parenting books. Every snippet of advice helps.”

TIP TWO: FOLLOW YOUR HEART…
Papi says: “Any mutt can have puppies, but it takes a real dog to be a father and that’s why my top piece of advice is simple: follow your heart. Fatherhood is more nerve-wracking than a trip to the vet, but you learn as you go along. Keep your chin up and your ears open – and embrace parenthood with an open heart.”

Pops in a Post Wilton Contest!

lilymaree@yahoo.com (Lily Bean Designs) — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 05:10:00 +0000

I have always loved sweets. Now-a-days, thanks to Wilton, sweets are even more fun than just eating. They are fun to look at and fun to decorate. The last two parties I hosted for my daughters' birthdays had cupcakes decorated with Wilton supplies.

So when I got the chance to receive a kit from Wilton I jumped! I was 1 of 40 bloggers who received a package of goodies from Wilton! Wilton is holding a Pops Contest!I made brownie pops as well as cake pops. Both of course are yummy. I did have a hard time eating the cake pops because they were just too cute! My 3 year old daughter loved the princess brownie pops, and she also design a kitty cat cake pop! It was a lot of fun for us all.

*HINT* With the brownie pops, I had to slice off the bottoms to make them flat. They had raised unevenly, but it gave me an excuse to eat some brownie bites!

*HINT* You can use sprinkles for many things! You can dip the whole pop in them, you can use them for hair on a monster, or other facial features, and you can also limit where the sprinkles go by placing icing in the area you want sprinkles an dropping them on that icing.

*HINT* Clear off every inch of counter space you have because you will have many items everywhere and at some point will indeed end up with a pop in one hand and nowhere to place it!

*HINT* Be creative. Don't limit yourself to what's in the books, or magazines. Create your own designs.

My favorite item I received was the Chocolate Pro Melting Pot.

It made dipping super clean and easy!

Another favorite was the reusable treat sticks. They were appealing and are great for little ones with smaller hands!

I absolutely loved all of the decorations! They were a lot of fun!

One thing I bought at the store to try was the Pink Sparkle Gel. I love sparkle, and I will forever have a stash of this gel on hand for all my decorating needs!

Everything in the package was amazing, and very nice. Wilton is a great company, and I feel honored to have been able to review these items.

I received a package of great products from Wilton to use and review. I was not monetarily compensated in any way for this post or for my opinions.

The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation DVD Review & Giveaway! 1/19

lilymaree@yahoo.com (Lily Bean Designs) — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 18:11:00 +0000

It’s ‘Puppy Love’ as Paris Hilton makes voice talent debut alongside Mario Lopez as two playful pooches!

A hilarious and heartwarming family romp and the “paw-fect” sequel to the hit ABC Family original movie, The Dog Who Saved Christmas, the festive new release features Paris Hilton, in her first-ever voiceover role as the prim and proper poodle “Bella” alongside Mario Lopez, who returns as the voice of mischievous yellow Labrador “Zeus.” The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation takes a bow(wow) at retail stores nationwide, December 7, 2010, just in time to help kids and families celebrate the holiday season together.

The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation (SRP $19.98) follows the Bannister family to a beautiful Rocky Mountain ski lodge for their long-awaited holiday vacation. Upon their arrival, however, it soon becomes clear that this trip will be no dog walk in the park!

Obnoxious relatives and their prissy poodle Bella (voiced by Paris Hilton) are staying at the house too, and they want little to do with the Bannisters or Zeus (voiced by Mario Lopez), despite his growing “puppy love” for the cutest new pooch in town.

Meanwhile, the hooligans who attempted to ruin the Bannister’s Christmas last year are up to their old tricks. They’ve made their way to the ski resort too – with plans to snatch a diamond necklace from a resort guest. When the necklace is mistaken for Bella’s dog collar the cantankerous crooks kidnap the pampered poodle and it’s up to Zeus to once again save the day.

Showcasing a pack of terrific talent, The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation stars Gary Valentine (“King of Queens”), Dean Cain (“Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” Abandoned), Elisa Donovan (Clueless, “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch”), Casper Van Dien (“Watch Over Me,” The Curse of King Tut's Tomb), and Mindy Sterling (“iCarly,” the Austin Powers trilogy), Adrienne Barbeau (Fly Me to the Moon). Kayley Stallings (“Monk”), Brennan Bailey (My Sister’s Keeper) bring two fresh young faces to the cast as the Bannister children.

My daughter immediately wanted to watch this movie of course for the dogs. So it was entertaining for her in that way as she is only 3, and I really enjoyed the story! So it was a great film for my whole family. The blooper real is really funny as well! The DVD is available in stores NOW! You can also enter for your chance to win a copy here too!

My Secret Santa Gift!

Last week I got my Secret Santa gift in the mail! I couldn't wait to open it, so by the time my husband had pulled from the mailbox at the end of our lane to our house, I had it opened. Packaged so neatly and wrapped in cotton were two earrings. Very pretty, unique earrings! I love them! A big "THANK YOU" to my Secret Santa Shelley from Still Blonde After All These Years!
