Every year around their birthdays I take a picture of my daughters in my sorority pledge shirt to watch them grow.  It is so much fun watching them change and grow from year to year.  You can do this with any shirt you have.  Even if your kids aren’t babies any more why not start this new tradition?
These collages are easy to do, too, using a FREE website called PicMonkey.  I love that you don’t have to download or install anything!  There are premium (Royale) features you can pay for such as more design options, font options, etc. but they are totally optional and a low monthly fee if you do choose to use these features.  PicMonkey has been great for making my girls’ school projects even better, too.  They love making collages, editing pictures, adding clip art, and so much more!
Try it for yourself!

In the collage above I put my older daughter’s age but on my younger daughter’s collage below I put the years instead.  I keep all the pictures in one folder on my computer and add to it each year so I can create new collages every year.
If you make one, please share!  I’d love to see it!

Photo Backdrop You Can Easily Make At Home

Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

My father recently watched one of my video reviews and said,”You can see things in your house.  You should have a backdrop.”  Part of what I like about the video reviews my girls do is that they are done in our home and are personal.  I wasn’t going to even try to make a backdrop.  Then I realized I haven’t had pictures taken of my girls in a while and I wanted to make some photo gifts.   I decided to give the backdrop thing a try.  Then the idea came to me.  I had bought an adjustable clothing rack a few months ago.  We keep it in the garage so when we take clothes out of the dryer we can hang them up right away.  I grabbed the rack and put it inside the house.  I like this particular rack because it adjusts in height and width, too.  Next I needed something to use as the backdrop.

A quick trip to Walmart provided the solution.  I bought several plush and fleece blankets in different colors and styles.   They were all on sale $5 or less, so that made me even happier.

At Dollar Tree I bought plastic clothes pins that have a very wide opening and fit around the top bar of the rack.  I hung one blanket over the rack and secured it with the clothes pins on top.  I then pushed the clothes pins down so you couldn’t see them from the top.
I also bought a floor lamp at Walmart for extra light when we are shooting the videos.

Here are the results.  Note, these photos are raw, unedited photos.  I still plan on adjusting the brightness, etc.  And I need to work with lighting a little bit.  But overall, it was easy and they came out great.  The hard part now is picking a favorite to use for photo gifts.

Lots of Winter Break FREE TIME Coming Up? $200 Worth of Craft Kits for $35!!!!

This post may contain affiliate links.
Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

I’ve posted a lot about the Fashion Playtes because my girls LOVE designing their own clothes on the Fashion Playtes website and then getting to order and wear their creations.  But I wanted to tell you about some of the other items they have on the Fashion Playtes website.  With Winter Break coming up I know my girls will have lots of free time and be looking for something to do.  I was so excited to see so many awesome craft kits from Klutz available on the Fashion Playtes website plus other fun things like Zeenie Dolls.
FP Girls

Here are some of the NON-CLOTHES things that you can get on Fashion Playtes.

765X1020_Sini 1833_Lg_Purple_Tote_Zm 1762_perfect_nail_art_kit_Zm 1632_Perfect_Nail_Markers_Pink_Zm NEW_DesignBag-Pink_Front_Zm sketchbookvol2_Zm01 601_friendship_bracelet_Zm 1464_Sketchbook_Sporty_Zm RibbonBangles_Zm01-2 865_Zm 1634_perfect_nail_markers_blue_Zm FashionOrigami_Zm01-2 1801_Color_Freedom_Sm_Tote_pink_Zm 620_Shamballa_Bracelets_Zm

Right now you can earn $25 Bonus Cash for every $25 you spend.  Plus 40% off your entire order!  Use code GIFT2013

You will also earn $25 Bonus Cash on every $25 you spend on gift cards and e-gift certificates.  Use code GIFT2013.

Here’s the secret really get the most bang for your buck:

Purchase #1– Buy a $25 FPGirl gift card and use code GIFT2013 at check out.  Make sure to select SEND AN INSTANT eGIFT CARD and not one that gets sent via postal mail.  Complete your purchase for your $25 eGift Card and you will receive a $25 eGift Card and a $25 BONUS eGift Card.
So you are paying $25 for $50 in eGift Cards!!
fashion playtes check out gift card

Purchase #2– Shop on Fashion Playtes.com and order $100 worth of craft kits, etc.   When you check out, pay with your eGift Cards AND use code GIFT2013 to save 40% off your purchase (code good until 12/25 at 11:59 pm).

fashion playtes check out items

Shipping is FREE automatically on any order $50 or more!  Add $100 worth of items to your cart and use code GIFT2013 shipping will be free AND your new total will be $60.
Use your $60 in eGift Cards to check out plus $10 out of pocket.
That’s $35 total for $100 worth of craft kits.

PLUS- With the code GIFT2013 you will also receive $25 in FP Girl Bonus Cash for EVERY $25 you spend.  It is pre-coupon code so when you put $100 worth in your cart, use the code to get 40% off, pay $50 in eGift cards (using the eGift Cards you already bought) plus $10 out of pocket and earn another $100 in FP Girl Bonus Cash!!!!  The $25 BONUS eGift cards will be e-mailed when your order is shipped.   From my experience item that don’t need to be personalized like the Klutz kits get shipped much faster that ones that need to first be made to order.  Once your order ships, you’ll receive the BONUS eGift Cards.   Then you will be able to place another order using the $100 in FP Girl Bonus Cash you earned when you receive them in a few days!!!

IMPORTANT- The estimated delivery with FREE Shipping is AFTER Christmas (12/28 at the time of this posting).  But you can upgrade to GUARANTEED CHRISTMAS DELIVERY for $10.  

IT IS TOTALLY WORTH IT TO PAY THE $10 EXTRA FOR EXPEDITED SHIPPED TO MAKE SURE YOUR ORDER SHIPS BEFORE THE DEAL IS OVER SO YOU WILL GET THE BONUS GIFT CARDS TO USE BEFORE THE SALE IS OVER TO GET EVEN MORE BONUS GIFT CARDS.
fashion playtes delivery

Of course you could order the gift cards now, print them out to give on Christmas, and have your girls design and order what they want ON CHRISTMAS because you have until 11:59 EST on 12/25 to place your order.

You could order all items that don’t need to be personalized like the Klutz arts and crafts books, etc. for your first order and then let your girls order the personalized clothes with the bonus eGift Cards when they come.  From my experience Klutz books and other items that aren’t personalized such as Zeenie dolls, ship much faster so I *think* they will arrive before Christmas without paying for expedited service.  That is just my best guess though for this scenario.  

Let’s break this down:
Pay $25 to purchase one $25 eGift Card and get a BONUS $25 ($50 total in FP money).
Order $100 worth of things using code GIFT2013 get FREE shipping and 40% off so your total will be only $60.
Use your $50 worth of eGift Cards to pay for your order plus $10 out of pocket.
Earn another $100 worth of FP Girl Bonus Cash when your order ships!!!!

You spend $35.00 total and you get $100 worth of craft kits PLUS another $100 worth of FP Girl Bonus Cash (that you will receive in a week or two when your order ships).
That’s $200 worth of things for $35!!!

MY HEAD IS SPINNING FROM ALL THE SAVINGS!!!
You have until 12/25/2013 at 11:59 pm to place your orders so don’t wait!!!

Of course you don’t have to use the eGift Card right away.  You could just grab a bunch of $25 gift cards and earn $25 bonus for each card you purchase and then give them all out as gifts.  

FYI- If you order now and your items ship before this deal is over on 12/25 at 11:59 p.m. EST you can use your BONUS eGift Cards to place another order (before 12/25 at 11:59 p.m. EST) that would be $100 before the 40% off and earn another $100 in BONUS eGift Cards from that order.  Of course that order would only cost $60 of your BONUS eGift Cards so you would have $40 on BONUS eGift Cards left to place another order.  If you place another order of $100 before the code and use your $40 BONUS eGift Cards, you would need to pay $20 additional out of pocket but you would then get ANOTHER $100 BONUS eGIFT CARDS.  That would be $200 bonus in eGift Cards from your original $100 in BONUS eGift CARDS!
So it is probably worth it to pay the $10 on this order for expedited shipping to make sure your order ships while the sale is still going on so you can place the next two orders for $100 each (before the 40% off) to get the extra $200 in bonus eGift Cards!!!!

Can you see how awesome this deal is?!?!?!
Please let me know if you need help figuring it out!

artsi collageMy girls love any type of craft project so they were so excited when we received products from Artsi‘s 3 product lines- Glitter PetzPlusheez, and Stickeez.  All three lines feature colorful, fun craft projects that children can easily complete themselves.  Both of my girls were so proud and excited to show me their finished projects, especially because they didn’t need my help.  They were so focused while they were crafting that you could have heard a pin drop in the room.  That RARELY happens in our house.
artsi

We received 2 different Glitter Petz so my girls each chose one to decorate.  There are several different Glitter Petz animals to choose from.  We chose Penny the Puppy and Sadie the Kitten.  Each comes with a figurine, 100 colorful gems in various shapes and colors, 2 sets of eyes, 1 bookbag clip, and string to tie it.  It was easy for my girls to decorate their Glitter Petz with the peel and stick gems and they especially liked that they were able to choose which pair of eyes to stick on.  When they finished their Glitter Petz they tied them to the included bookbag clips and attached them to their backpacks to show them off at school.  There were extra gems left over that they are saving for future projects.

We received Bella from the Plusheez line.  Bella is an adorable plush pal who is always a hoot.  Plusheez each come with a special stylus to pop in the included plush shapes to create awesome projects from plush animals to a fun pillow.  No sewing required!  Plusheez have tiny X shaped slits all over them.  Simply place a plush shape on top of the color coded slits and use the stylus to pop it in.  Easy peasy and the results are beautiful!
Plusheez collage

We received a beautiful jewelry box to design from the Stickeez line.  It came with TONS of gems in various colors, shapes, and sizes that children easily apply by following the included color chart like a paint by number only no messy paint, just sticking peel and stick gems so NO MESS!  Bling your bedroom!  The jewelry box isn’t just beautiful but it is a very functional piece complete with 4 drawers, a mirror and a hanging rack.  There are also Stickeez clutch purses, headbands, bracelets, and more!
