Paper or Plastic? How about Fabric. Wrap your holiday gifts in Reusable Fabric Gift Bags from VZ Wraps and let the trees have a rest.

The count down is on until trick or treat night, the treat bags are made, and Santa is checking the Christmas list. Wait, what, Santa? There are two big holidays until Christmas, but that doesn't stop stores from being ready now. I have to turn my head and not look at all the decorated trees, lights, and rolls of wrapping paper neatly stacked in boxes.

I have a weakness for wrapping paper, gift bags, and ribbon. I even have a wrapping counter in my basement. It is so nice at Christmas time to be able to have all the ribbon, paper, and gift tags at the ready. I've been de-wrapping the area the past few years and going for reusable gift bags and containers. I like the idea of giving a reusable bag with the gift inside, plus it just gives it a personal touch.

My favorite gift bags come from VZ Wraps. They are made in Pennsylvania, USA. The owner, Isabelle Vesey makes these reusable fabric gift bags in a variety of sizes, shapes, and the cutest patterns I've seen. I met her last year at an event and love her gift bags. Take a look at her web site VZWraps.com and you'll know what I am talking about.

The Christmas line is my favorite. The bag, Christmas Critters has that vintage look I like. From cute to fancy, from Christmas bags, to bridal shower bags VZ Wraps offers reusable fabric gift bags in styles to fit any occasion. VZ Wraps also does custom orders.

The bags come with a ribbon attached. The material is 100% cotton or organic cotton, and the ribbon is Eco-grosgrain or Eco-satin made of 100% recycled material in most bags.

Choose from sizes such as:

Mini/Gift Card Holder
Wine Bottle Bag, shown below in Snowflakes. Open the bag, drop in the bottle, tie the bag shut and off you go!

Standard: (10"x15") Shown below in Christmas Cookies. Drop in your gift, tie the bag shut and your are finished wrapping in no time flat!

Giveaway of New Soft Scrub® 4-in-1 Toliet Cleaner to three lucky winners.

Let's talk about cleaning toilets. Hmm, I'd rather not talk about that, or clean them. However, I don't want dirty toilets in our house, so I have to clean all three of them. I'd clean four or five because I really would like two downstairs bathrooms in my next house. We have one powder room on the first floor and two full baths upstairs.I'd like three full baths upstairs. Why in the world would I want to clean all that? Who knows, but having a product that can help out cleaning the three we currently have in my house is greatly appreciated. Soft Scrub ® is honestly amazing me with their new and improved products. I've learned about them in the past few months from trying them out and writing reviews.

Just clip it on the side of the bowl, make sure it is in the flow of water when the toil

Giveaway of Three Copies of Les Misérables on Blu Ray DVD combo Pack

You know that part of a DVD that prompts you to select play, scenes, bonus, set up while bits of the movie play? I did not get past that for several plays through the song "Do you hear the people sing" with people of France waving their flag, and singing about they will not be slaves again. The song is so moving, so powerful. It can stir up your the strength within your soul, it can remind you of the freedom of being an American, and it can bring you to tears of sadness, happiness, and joy. Now on to select play: I saw Les Misérables at the preview screening last year and was captivated, motionless in my seat. The DVD has the same effect. You'll be taken back to another place, another time. The cast is perfect, the singing is moving, and the scenery is real old world "Paris". As I watched Les Misérables it's a reminder to myself, a wake up call for us all to be humble, be better. To forgive each other, let go of our egos, help each other at times of need,
