njcurtin says "Fun for all ages." about Radio Flyer Walker Wagon

njcurtin — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 23:18:08 GMT

The Radio Flyer Walker Wagon was purchased for my son on his first birthday. It was received with easy to read assembly instructions. After 20 minutes, the wagon was ready for use. The quality of this wagon was sturdy. Having a boy, things become destroyed easily but not this walker. He loves to push it along while taking his toys for a ride. His sister, who is 3 years old, likes to let him crawl inside and push him around. The children play with this together for hours. The side panels come out to allow for easy access for kids and preventing any injuries. I would recommend this to others and buy this for the cousins on their birthdays.

njcurtin says "Just try to think of a project where this product can't help you" about Cricut Expression

The Cricut Expression Die Cut Machine has been a necessary tool in my crafting arsinol. I have used this to create many layouts, projects, cards, and banners during the last year of ownership. The orignial blade, given with purchase, lasts though thousands of cuts. I have had this machine for about a year and have just now changed my blade. I appreciate having so many options when choosing how my cricut cuts, between speed, pressure, paper alignment and location, the machine can cut anything. It works on many different types of media, including vellum, cardstock, acrylic sheets, and chipboard. To use this machine, you do not have to have a class. It is a basic plug and play idea. The guides that come with each cartridge are detailed and full of wonderful ideas. The only downside is the cost of the individual cartridges. However, as a bargain hunter, I have been able to get my cartridges online with great sale prices. I would buy this machine for friends if the price...

njcurtin says "This monitor allows me to feel secure watching from another room" about Summer Infant Baby's Quiet Sounds Video Monitor

njcurtin — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 13:42:00 GMT

The Summer Day and Night Video Monitor allows me to keep an eye on two children at one time. The ability to have two cameras with one video monitor is convenient. With the flip of a switch I see one or the other. It is also convenient to look in while an infant sleeps or a toddler rests, so as not to disturb the napping process. The video is clear with distinct audio. I have my children on different floors and still the monitor has good reception. My only concern is distance causing static. I highly recommend this monitor for those parents who want to be there watching there kids without disturbing the routine of napping....

njcurtin says "A stroller for two that is worth the money you pay." about Kolcraft Contours Options Tandem Stroller

njcurtin — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 01:47:25 GMT

THe Kolcraft Contours Tandem Stroller was a gift when I had my second child. I found out by doing research that other stroller made you pay for the car seat attachment. This stroller includes one at no addition cost. The conversion of the seats is easy and my daughter loves to be able to choose how she rides. This causes less strife when it is time to get in the stroller instead of walking free. Although, for those times that she is allowed out, she loves holding the rubber child grips on the side. They are extended out far enough so that the stroller is not running over her little feet. My son could easily recline in the seat when he was a couple of months old for those long walks that may be more comfortable out of the car seat. It is was easy to clean after being left in the rain and has made my shopping trips a breeze with its enormous undercarriage basket. Even folding it up takes just one motion. The only thing I would change is its weight. However, when you......

njcurtin says "I will never go back to wood stamps again." about Close to my Heart Acrylic Stamps

njcurtin — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 01:32:39 GMT

Acrylic stamps are the best invention for the everyday stamper. They allow many to be owned while not having to store them in large tubs. I personally have over 75 stamp sets and have them in four 6x6 plastic tubs (bought at Wal-mart for $.97). I love the option to see where I stamp and correct any mistakes that I inevitably make. They are easy to clean with just a little dish soap and water when they start to have problems sticking. I adore the multitude of designs available. They are a little more expensive than the acrylic stamps found at retail stores. However, I find the quality of the acrylic to be heavier and the images stamp much more clearly....

njcurtin says "The Crop-A-Dile is the one tool that I could never live without." about Crop-A-Dile

njcurtin — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 01:24:57 GMT

I have had this Crop-a-dile for about two years now and absolutely love it. I recently dropped an eyelet into the gears and it still keeps working (with a lot of squeaking). It was then that it came to my attention just how much I use it. It was squeaking in my craft room on just about every project I do. I even continued to punch through wooden hearts for necklaces. I am definitely buying a new one. ...
