New Products of the Week in Review!

I hope you all had a VERY Merry Christmas!  I wanted to thank all of my wonderful customers that have made this year so fun for me! 

The "New Product of the Week" promotion has come to a close, as has the year, but since so many of my wonderful customers joined us after the start of this promotion, it's not really fair that you didn't get to take advantage of the great deal on the New Products, right?  I happen to agree!  SO, for this final week of 2010, I have decided to make ALL of the new products that were featured in the New Product of the Week Promotion 40% off for the remainder of the year with promo code NEW40.  This will be the LAST time they are this great price, so stock up now!

NEW PRODUCT OF THE WEEK!

FIRST, some housekeeping items:

1. I am unexpectedly going out of town tomorrow until Christmas Eve. All orders placed this week will ship on December 27th. I apologize for the inconvenience.

2. Take a look at the new BLOG! I am so excited about this new design--so much so, in fact, that I will be rolling out a couple of promotions starting on New Years Day (the BEST one is for affiliates so sign up today!!) (More on that later).

In the meantime, I am hosting a giveaway over on Facebook! All you have to do is become a follower of the blog and then post a comment on the facebook post that you are a blog follower. Add an extra comment with your opinion of the new design for an extra entry! Winner will be drawn on New Year's Eve!

NOW, on to the New Product(s) of the week! Thank you to all who submitted ideas for this week's New Product of the Week. Some of them have products that are very similar already on the site, and some I didn't have time to create what was in my head (a black and white version of the idea doesn't do it justice!) So, I *may* have to do a New Product of the week next week too! :)

But, let's get to this week's New Products:

This idea was submitted by Andrea Thompson. Thank you Andrea! What a great idea!

Christmas Subway Art

This idea for a sign was submitted by Nicole Browne. I love it! Thank you Nicole!

Grandma and Grandpa's is the Place where cousins go to become friends

"Love is in the air," sized for a 6X30 board is a fun way to start out the year! Thank you Kaylyn Little for the idea!

Love is in the air

A giveaway winner from a couple of months ago, Michelle Groth, designed this vinyl for her gift certificate. I LOVE how it turned out! Thank you Michelle for the idea and the picture!

Dear Santa, Please Define "Good"

GET 40% off of ALL of these designs THIS WEEK ONLY with promo code HOLIDAY40.

And have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, from Say It On The Wall!

NEW PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: Santa's "Naughty or Nice" list!

I have 5 boys--the oldest of which just turned 10.  SO, as I am sure you can probably imagine, there's a LOT of energy at our house . . . which is magnified a hundred fold when it's Christmas time.  :)

This year, I devised a plan--a way for my kids to know their standing with Santa at all times so they can "self-correct" their behavior on their own.  Do you want to see it?

Santa's Naughty or Nice List

Each kid gets a magnet (in our case, a colored button).  Throughout the day, I move their buttons towards "Naughty" or "Nice" depending on their behavior.  I don't have a to say a word.  Just move the button up or down and they either apologize to their brother or they smile and go on their way.  It's been a life-saver! 

Now for the fun part: Get 40% off of this vinyl  THIS WEEK ONLY with promo code NICE40.

NEW PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: 2011 Primary Themed Products and a FREE offer!

Sorry for the delay--hopefully it will be worth the wait! Did you know the new 2011 LDS Primary Theme is "I Know the Scriptures are True"--whether you are LDS or not, I think all Christians can find truth in that statement. After many requests, I have decided to take a slight detour on our Christmas themed products for this week and introduce 3 new products centered around the 2011 Primary Theme.

I Know the Scriptures are True Magnet Board

The Magnet Board is perfect for posting the daily/weekly/monthly scripture! It comes in a choice of 2 fonts: Formal or Block--specify in the comments section which font you prefer.

Block Font

Formal Font

I Know the Scriptures are True Tile

I Know the Scriptures are True Reading Reminder Board

The reminder board is a great Christmas Gift for Primary Children (especially at 40% off!). They put the board on their pillow each morning when they make their bed. Each night they will hit their head on the board and BANG!--a reminder to read scriptures. Grin. :)

NOW, because I know it's Christmas and it would be weird to not do an actual Christmas themed item (and because I know you all had to wait a long time for this post to finally go up), here's the FREE offer I have for you:

Time Capsule Christmas Ornament

The Time Capsule Ornament Vinyl is a great way to reflect on the year and create a time capsule at the same time. Start with a clear glass ornament, and apply the vinyl to the outside. On strips of paper, have family members write their favorite memories from the year. Roll up the strips of paper and slip inside the ornament. Replace the top and Voila! Instant time capsule!

With any order of one of these 2011 Primary Themed Designs, you will receive a Time Capsule Ornament Vinyl ABSOLUTELY FREE (My Christmas Gift to you!)!!!! (It will not show up in your cart, but will be sent with your order.) Valid on ANY 2011 Primary Theme order THIS WEEK ONLY!

It gets better! The 2011 Primary Theme Vinyl Designs are all 40% off THIS WEEK ONLY with promo code PRIMARY40. (It will be good through the 14th, since it is going up so late today.) Happy Holidays!

NEW PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: Kneeling Santa Glass Block

Kneeling Santa Glass Block

I am really excited about this week's New Product of the Week! Several years ago, I came across this book:

It tells a story about how Santa fits in to the Nativity Story and gives a brief history of Santa Claus at the same time. It's a really good way to teach Children that while Santa Claus is fun and exciting, even he knows the real reason for the season.

So, this year, along with reading this book to my kids, I am adding this glass block to my Glass Block Nativity Display as a reminder that even with all the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping and gift giving, we can take time to remember He whose birth we celebrate this time of year.

NOW, who wants this vinyl?  Who wants it 40% off?!  Well, THIS WEEK ONLY, you can get 40% off this vinyl with promo code SANTA40.

NEW PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: Journey to Bethlehem Advent Calendar!

I LOVE Christmas!  LOVE! LOVE! LOVE IT!  I especially love the excitement in the air as my kids anticipate Santa's arrival! So it should come as no surprise that I am starting to prepare EARLY for Christmas this year!  Let's get right to this week's NEW PRODUCT OF THE WEEK:

 Journey to Bethlehem Advent Calendar

Mary and Joseph (pictured on a 2X2 tile purchased from Home Depot) start out in Jerusalem on December 1st.  Each day, you (or your child--or maybe you can take turns. Grin.) move them one step closer to the stable.

On Christmas Eve, Mary and Joseph arrive at the stable.  On Christmas Morning (or, if you can talk Santa into it), switch out the smaller tile with the 4X4 tile, which depicts the manger scene in the stable.

This advent calendar is a great way to teach the "reason for the season" each day (as they pass the wise men, the shepherds, the angel, etc, you can talk about the different parts of the nativity story) while letting your kids have fun in the process!

Materials needed for this project:

(1) 16X20 piece of sheet metal (I used scissors to cut mine to size because I bought a big sheet--which helped me decide to frame it instead of mount it on a piece of MDF as originally planned--the cut edges weren't the prettiest . . .)
(1) 4X4 tile
(1) 2X2 tile
(1) Vinyl Lettering Set
(1) 16X20 picture frame
(4) disc magnets (1 for the 2X2 and 3 for the 4X4)

This project takes about 5 minutes to assemble (unless you want to paint your picture frame.  You can also just put it in a picture frame for the Christmas Season and then remove it and put the original contents back in the frame for the rest of the year.)

Do you want to make your very own?  THIS WEEK is the time to do it!  Use promo code JOURNEY40 at checkout for 40% off!!!

NEW PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: PILGRIM HAT Thanksgiving Placemarkers!

An idea came to me last night as I drifted off to sleep. (An idea that was WAY better than what I had scheduled to post today!) SO, this morning I hopped out of bed and ran into town (an hour's drive round trip--I REALLY love my customers, right?!) to get a couple of supplies . . .

Are you ready? Are you excited? I know I am! Without further adeiu, let's get to this week's PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: The PILGRIM HAT THANKSGIVING PLACEMARKERS

Pilgrim Hat Placemarkers

Every Thanksgiving, it was been a tradition in my family that I do little place markers for dinner and fill them with mints (for use after the meal). The last couple of years I made little favor boxes out of Thanksgiving scrapbook paper. They were a pain to make, fill and fold, but everyone loved them! (Unfortunately, they don't last. I have to make them all over again EVERY YEAR! That's for the birds! (I mean, who has time to do that? I still have to cook the REAL bird, right?!))

Enter this year:

I ran to Home Depot and grabbed some little terra cotta flower pots and saucers (which are on CLEARANCE this time of year--hint. hint.) Then I spray painted them black. (Note to self: Don't buy the kind that is the "hammered" look unless you have about 3 hours for it to dry. It looks cute, sure, but if you are trying to post it on your blog, it cramps your style! Yes, I know it needs an extra coat of paint, but my family won't mind. Grin.)

Then I applied the vinyl and I was FINISHED! If you subtract the 3 hour "watching paint dry" time, this project LITERALLY took me 20 minutes to do the whole set for Thanksgiving (AND they are reusable!) Pretty cool right?

Don't they look cute on the table next to the plates?

It gets even better! (Wait for it . . . Wait for it . . . )


If you lift up the hat, it's filled with an assortment mints for after dinner!

Now let's talk details:

Do you want to make a set for YOUR Thanksgiving festivities this year? It's not too late! They are $1.50 for one or 10/$10. But don't forget: THIS WEEK ONLY, they are 40% off! Use promo code: PILGRIM40 at checkout for the Pilgrim Hat single vinyl or HAT40 for the Pilgrim Hat set of 10. That's pretty cheap for such a great table decoration, am I right? (I know I am. Grin.)

NEW PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: Give Thanks Plate Vinyl

Give Thanks Plate Vinyl

Are you starting to look forward to the Holidays? To be honest, I hate fall (gasp!)--don't get me wrong. I love the fall colors, I LOVE Thanksgiving, I love all the smells and cooler weather . . . but where I live, Fall means WINTER IS COMING (Boo! Hiss!) From November-May/June it is SNOWY, DARK, and COLD where I live. And I don't like it (no offense to all you snow bunnies, but I grew up in the south--and I prefer the warm weather and sunshine!)

But, with the turn of the weather over here, I am starting to think "Thanksgiving" (gotta look on the bright side, right?)--and what better way to decorate than with an EASY centerpiece for your table or mantelpiece for your fireplace?!

Answers to the Questions I KNOW you are asking:

1. I got the plate at Walmart for $3--that's most of the work--driving to Walmart and picking out a plate . . . (and with 5 boys, I admit, that is actual work, but after that was over, the rest was easy!)

2. Yes, you CAN have one! It's even 40% off this week only with promo code: THANKS40

The vinyl pictured is sized to fit on a 10.5" plate. It comes with one large GOLD leave, Lettering in Beige, and a small red leaf. Easy to apply and an INSTANT hit! Order yours today!

NEW PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWNS!

It's WEEK 2 of our "NEW PRODUCT OF THE WEEK" countdown until Christmas! This week it's HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWNS! That's right--I have 2 choices for you (and because they are both the same "idea", I decided to combine them into the same week. Lucky you!)

The first one is the Halloween Countdown--Cauldron.

This is a Cauldron surrounded by candy corns and wrapped candies.

(Here's a closer look--I used a spider ring glued to a magnet as the "counter" that gets moved every day)

The second one is the Halloween Countdown--Cat:

A cat, sitting on the moon surrounded by multicolored witch's hats that count down to Halloween

Aren't they fun?! I thought so too! My kids have already been setting a schedule for who gets to move the spider each day! (Good thing there are 2, right?)

It's not too late to get yours in time for Halloween! THIS WEEK ONLY, they are 40% off! For the Cauldron, use promo code: CAULDRON40 and for the Cat, use promo code: CAT40.

Happy Haunting!
