USA Dog Treats Giveaway! Ends 11/30

With all of the negative news about dog treats from China, it's important that we give our dog the healthiest possible chewies. Great USA Dog Treats sell only treats made in the USA, and most of them from right here in NC! JustFindIt4U has teamed up with a select group of doggy loving bloggers to bring you 2 chances to win some treats for your favorite 4 legged canine. Great USA Dog Treats, based in North Carolina, was inspired by a Welsh Pembroke Corgi and born out of treat frustration. We wanted to give our Corgi treats that were good, safe and made in the USA. Finding these treats at local stores and supermarkets was difficult. The solution, Great USA Dog Treats! Our mission at Great USA Dog Treats is to provide safe, tasty dog treats and chews to caring dog owners for the delight and enjoyment of their canine friends. We care about your dog’s health and happiness. Great USA Dog Treats also wants to help you enhance the happiness, safety and well-being of your dog. Great USA Dog Treats sent us a few samples for our rescue dog Gypsy to try out. Gypsy is finicky about her treats, and she loves to chew, so her jaws would truly put any bones to the test. In the picture to the left, she is chewing on a small steak bone: 100% All Natural beef steak bones specifically prepared for dogs. These bones are baked and hickory smoked with no additives and no preservatives. These are small sized bones, ideal for the smaller dog. Each package contains three bones. Produced and made in the USA. You can tell from the picture that Gypsy loves her steak bones, and I loved that they are produced here in the USA. She spent the first few minutes licking the smoky flavor, before digging in and getting to work on the bone itself. 30 minutes later, she hadn't made much of a dent in the bone, so she hid it to return to the next day. We also received a bag of Soft Cheese & Bacon Training Treats, which Gypsy thought were like manna from heaven (or whatever dogs think when they taste something they really like). 8 oz package baked cheese & bacon flavored treats. Dogs will be on their best behavior when rewarded with this little treat! Made in the USA. Ingredients: Rye Flour, rolled oats, honey, bacon, dried cheese. No additives or preservatives. The Great USA Dog Treats website has many other items to choose from, see their entire store here. And for a limited time, they are offering FREE shipping with a $25 order. JustFindIt4U is hosting a Giveaway from 9 PM on 11/11 and ending at 12:00 AM on 12/1, with 2 winners (Continental US only). There will be a small dog prize (rv $28), and a large dog prize (rv $26) available. The 2 winners each get to choose which prize they want. We have invited some doggy loving bloggers to join us, be sure to check out their pages as you are going through the RaffleCopter form. There is only 1 mandatory entry, all of the others are voluntary. Of course, the more you complete, the more chances you have to WIN! This Giveaway is in no way endorsed, affiliated with or supported by Facebook. 2 winners will be chosen, and they will have 48 hours to reply back to the email sent to them, or another winner will be chosen. Great USA Dog Treats is responsible for delivery of the prizes. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Guest Post: 5 Suggestions On How To Decorate Your Office Desk For Christmas

Here are 5 great tips that anyone can use to decorate their home office space for the holidays.

Home office desks are still part of the home. It would be out of place if the rest of the house is decorated with anything that reminds one of Christmas, but when one moves or enters the home office, it is bare. Therefore, it is only right that the Christmas air is present in the office without preventing the worker from being productive.
Here are a few suggestions that can liven up your home office without forgetting the work that should be done:
  1. Make the Christmas tree a focal point.  The most visible and obvious symbol of Christmas is the Christmas tree.  They also come in different sizes.  For those who will inhabit the office desk, a Christmas tree that is a foot tall or less will do the trick. The size of the office desk and how large or small a space you will need will determine the size of the tree. The larger the desk, the larger the tree.  Make sure that it doesn’t get in the way of your work.
  2. Jars in the form and shape of Santa Claus and Christmas trees.  Aside from being decorative, such jars can contain candies, chocolates, cookies, nuts or jelly beans.  If the jar is see-through, it is best to contain colorful candies.  The color adds more fun and life in which may otherwise be a drab and monotonous space. Home-based workers may have family members -- especially children -- dropping by. In the spirit of Christmas, giving them candies can give cheer as well as maybe rid them of staying too long so that you, the office worker, could get things done. Workers themselves could benefit from having something to munch on while thinking of steps or solutions to address a problem.  It may also increase one’s creativity.
  3. Adorn the monitor with a garland.  Homes have wreaths on the doors and garlands around handrails and banisters. When it comes to the office desk, the monitor can get an enhancement. It is at this time that the simple and common appliance of an office can dress up. The garland can also have tiny embellishments or lights to make it more festive. Just make sure that the embellishments don’t get in the way of reading or watching what is on-screen.  This can be an option if there is no room for a Christmas tree.
  4. Decorate with ornaments. If a table faces or is placed against a wall or window, Christmas ornaments such as bells and balls can be hanged.  Such ornaments, if they are tiny, can also be attached to the garland.  They can even be twined around a lamp or used as a paperweight.
  5. Compliment the office with a Christmas doily or mouse pad. A large office desk can have flowers or plants.  Underneath it may lay a doily which is often reminiscent of snowflakes when the cold months of Christmas roll in. A Christmas scene can also be depicted in a mouse pad and it wouldn’t even be an unnecessary use of space.

Guest Post: How to Make Your Own Christmas Stockings



Hanging Christmas stockings each year is a favorite tradition for many families. Whether you hang your stocking in the traditional way on a fireplace or with stick on hooks on the wall, the excitement that we feel on Christmas morning is the same. Making your own Christmas stockings not only can save you heaps from your Christmas shopping budget, it can add even more fun and excitement into your family’s hearts this year by creating your own unique designs. There are a number of ways you can create your own Christmas stockings, depending how creative you are, which include DIY projects and embroidered designs. For some great tips on how to make your very own stockings this Christmas, check out our helpful guide below.

Custom Designs

If you want to create your own personalized Christmas stockings, but aren't the creative type, why not seek the help of an online printing company. That special handmade touch can still be given as you create your design online, but leave all the hard work to the professionals. Having the option of choosing your own font, you’ll be able to create a design that represents the individual personality of each family member. Personalized Christmas stockings are great gift ideas for all family members and incredibly easy to make.

Update your Favorite

If you’re anything like me, when Christmas time comes around you become sentimental and always have your favorite ornaments or stockings that have their place on the mantel piece – even if they are falling apart from age! For those of you, who already have your favorite Christmas stocking, why not create a new personalized label to really make it your own and give it a new lease on life this holiday season. With the help of an online printing company, you can easily create your own sticky label which can then be affixed to your old favorite.

DIY Projects

For those of you who like to get creative, you could always try making your own Christmas stocking from scratch. Purchasing or downloading a free template is a great start, helping to ensure that your stocking has a professionally finished look. Always remember that while DIY projects can be a great deal of fun, they can also be very stressful! If you want to make your Christmas stocking, without the added hassle, create your own personalized design online.
Christmas stockings are a big part of many family traditions and something that the kids (and big kids at heart) always look forward to. For that extra special touch this Christmas, why not make your Christmas stocking with a few easy clicks of a mouse. With most online printers allowing you to choose your own font and various other personalisation on the stocking, there’s never been an easier way to be one of Santa’s little helpers. Create your very own stocking or even give one as a thoughtful gift this Christmas.
