Thin Stone Veneer - Improve The Appearance Of Your Home


Ever have a day like this? Ever get tired of the way your house looks and finally do this? You take one long look at an area in your household and you put your hands on your hips and know it needs something exciting and new. The room has looked the same for years and you want to make a few changes. Somewhere you have had a few conversations with friend or neighbors about remodeling with stone and I'm betting you've looked at some of the stone products and figured out the investment needed was kind of on the high side, and I'm guessing you surely decided that it would probably be a pain in the butt to install. But hold up a bit, because what you should be aware of is that if you really want the sophisticated look of gorgeous natural stone inside your house, you my good friend should be made aware that now you do have a wallet saving way to achieve this and that's by looking at new thin stone veneer products.

With the groundbreaking techniques in cutting technology in recent history, stone companies are now able to take a large size hunk of naturally found stone and reduce the size of it so that you still end up with the warm look and feel of stone. But it gets even better so keep reading! What you miss altogether is the budget breaking cost of traditional size stone. And another issue that you don't have, is all the extra weight that you have to deal with when you use a full size natural stone product to remodel. Another factor and this is a nice one is that you also do not have to endure the expensive costs of shipping and handling when you make the choice to choose a thin stone veneer.

There's Fantasy Galore With The Steampunk Vampire Costume

Being a vampire for Halloween can certainly be loads of fun. Vampires are one of the spookiest and scariest creatures that hunt on Halloween Eve.

This year’s newest and coolest vampire costume is the Steampunk Vampire Costume. Talk about a case of fantasy and fiction all mixed in one when it comes to this amazing Victorian costume.

Typical of the Victorian age, this Gothic looking costume has some ruffles, some buckles, and a cape to match. But what makes it a little bit different is its mix of the steampunk culture with today’s world.

Take a look at the top hat to start with. Since steampunk uses some advanced technology from their times, incorporated with some steam power, it makes sense that this vampire would need some goggles for a little bit of protection.

You’ll notice that the sleeves of the coat and the buckles on the vest have faux leather straps for some classy detail. The same leather detail pertains to the spat style boot covers.

Whether you’d like to be a vampire or a vampiress, there’s one cool costume to choose from in the Steampunk Vampire costume line.

The Queen of Hearts Plus Size Costume Rocks!

Sometimes it’s hard to be overweight when it comes to Halloween and finding a costume that fits. Not all of us are thin as a rail and it’s it can be difficult to find a costume that comes in large sizes. The Queen of Hearts Plus Size Costume is one awesome costume that’s made perfect for a fuller figure. I love the way that the costume pulls in at the waist to give some dimension to a waistline. Then it fans out over the hips in a way that is very appealing. In fact, this costume looks mighty majestic and that’s exactly what impression you want to give as the queen that rules in Wonderland. This is one very feminine costume that is appealing to all ages.

 

The Colors On The Mystical Sorceress Costume Are Just Amazing

Being a witch or sorceress for Halloween is really fun. This year there’s a new Mystical Sorceress costume on the market and boy did it strike my eyes. The first thing that I noticed about it is the fact that the colors are just fabulous. All those reds and blues are just mixed together is a way that makes you want to stare at it. It’s got a very wide belt that will make any waistline look thin and the cape sparkles in the light and has some tattered and flowing ends that will drift in the moonlight. People will be sure to turn and look at you as you put on your hood, grab your crystal ball, and start telling the future.

Have You Ever Seen A Killer Clown Costume?

I don’t know about you, but to me a clown is one funny and happy go lucky fella who makes everyone around them laugh and have a good time. I don’t know who’s warped sense of humor went into the killer clown costume but I’m sure that this gory masterpiece is perfect for many people. This guy is a little bit bloody, a little bit torn, and a lot of scary. There are 2 things that are really great about this costume. The first is its price. It’s inexpensive and in this economy that’s very important. The second part is the fact that the mask comes complete with the costume and you don’t see this very often. Usually the mask is an additional expense. If you’d like to scare everyone this year with a costume that most likely no one else will be wearing then this may be perfect for you.

The Hot New Playboy Endorsed Collegiate Costume

I have to admit that I’m a sucker when it comes to a school girl costume. There’s something about the preppy style that makes it very appealing to me. I feel like preppy is one of the sexiest ways to stand out in a crowd. This new collegiate costume may be pretty typical with its plaid design but when you take a closer look at the skirt, you’ll see that you’ll really be able to shake your booty in this fancy dress. It even comes with the Playboy logo (not that this is really important) but what that does is make the guys look twice. It may even make them wonder if Hugh Hefner had anything to do with the design! So why not grab a great pair of mary janes and some lacy thigh highs and see what kind of fun you can have this year.

 

The Hysterical Tweedle Dee Costume

You know, I’ve always been a fan of Alice in Wonderland but that crazy Mad Hatter has always been my favorite. I may just have to rethink that now. Yesterday I was browsing for Halloween costumes and this Tweedle Dee costume struck my eye. Is this hysterical or what? I think it’s just the coolest dunce costume ever seen and I want to see someone in my household wearing. Just think how much cooler it will look with the twirly dunce hat with it? I also thought it was so convenient that this is available in a one size fits all because we all know how hard it can be to find the right size for a costume, especially if we’re buying online. So I don’t know, I think I just may have to twist someone’s arm to get them to wear…and I’ll even buy it for them.  Quite a good deal don’t you think!

The Sexy Frisky Freshman Costume

My daughter is all about sexy when it comes to a Halloween costume. Last year she opted for Lady Gaga but this year she’s telling me she wants to be a sexy school girl. Now I have to say that I never even realized that such a costume existed. I mean, who would want to dress like a Catholic girl. At least that’s what I thought until she started to show me some of the costumes. Her favorite at this moment is the Frisky Freshman Costume and let me tell you this is one awesome costume. It’s a little bit plaid, a little bit naughty, and a whole lot of sexy. Yes, it’s a little bit short but you know what?  It looks awesome and the best part was that it didn’t cost and arm and a leg!

 

The Coolest Adams Family Costume

So I was settled in front of the TV the other night and what came on but a bunch of the old Addams Family reruns. Now I always thought that this was actually kind of a quirky and fun show but I couldn’t stop laughing at the antics. I don’t know…maybe I’m getting old or something but every one of these spooky characters has a personality that makes them shine. So I told my husband that I thought it would be mighty cool to wear an Adams Family Costume for Halloween this year, Morticia in particular. And guess what? He thought it was such a great idea that he’s going to go as Homer!  I can’t wait to get to our friends costume party because we’re really going to stand out this year!

Monster High Wigs Are Too Cool

If you’ve got young girls in your household then you’re probably well familiar with the Monster High gang. You know, that freakishly fabulous group of monsters who are just drop dead gorgeous.  They’re a little bit gruesome, they’re a little bit funny, and they’re dressed to kill. Now, with great excitement, the artistic expression that goes along with these characters has come alive in the form of a Monster High costume that is meant to please. No matter which monster your little girl loves, there’s a great costume to match.

Each Monster High costume comes with the physical attributes that make these characters so appealing. Whether it be a set of fangs, a few stitches, some cool wolf ears, a set a blue fins, or the newest bandages, your little girl will look just adorable in one of these costumes. And you’ll want to be sure to pick up one of the Monster High wigs to complete the outfit of choice. For just a reasonable price on top of the costume, the wig will let your girls complete the look to perfection. So buy your costume early before the rush and your girls will be the most fabulous looking monsters in the neighborhood.

The Amazing Edward Scissorhands Costume

I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve always been an Edward Scissorhands fan. Maybe it was because Johnny Depp did such a good job of portraying this little misfit hedge trimmer, or maybe it was just the fact that there was a little bit of a love story to the whole picture. So given the fact that I thought the movie was so cool, there’s no question that I love this amazing Edward Scissorhands Costume.  Just look at the detail that comes with this cool Halloween outfit with all of its straps and buckles and leather appearance. When you add that funky wig with the fly away hair along with those scissor gloves, you’ve got one Gothic costume that you can really have fun with. It’s scary and it’s funky, just what we love best when it comes to a little bit of Goth. So call me a little prejudiced if you want but this is one of my all time favorites.

The Coolest Realistic Vampire Fangs

So my son is insisting on being a vampire for Halloween this year (yes, we talk about Halloween very early in our house).  He wants to dress as the creepiest and the scariest vamp in the neighborhood so of course that comes complete with the cape, the makeup, and a great set of fangs. Being a frugal mother, I was all ready to buy the cheapest pair that I could find but he insisted that they had to be a good set and they had to be realistic looking. So after some research we found out that he was right – not all fangs are created equal!  So we ended up with a cool set of Scarecrow realistic vampire fangs and I have to say that I think they’re just awesome. In fact, we’re going to keep them for many years to come, I’m just sure of it!

Master Tool Sets Are Just Amazing

I don’t think I ever realized just how cool a master tool set really was. I really just thought that they were incredibly expensive and probably not worth their money. But you know what, they’re really a great choice for those who are serious about their profession and, of course, have the money to spend on a set.

So what’s so great when it comes to master tool sets? Well, the most important thing is that these sets are complete just as they come and they’re actually less money than trying to buy each piece individually over the years. They’re produced by several different manufacturers so if you have a favorite then changes are you’ll be able to get a set by your favorite line. Just think about how good it would feel to wheel your master tool set onto the job floor for your customers.

My morning walk

This morning I took my dog for a walk and who did I run into but Holey Moley Mr Frank. Now, I haven’t seen Frank in the longest time so I was really surprised to see what he looked like these days. In fact, he’s so fit and dapper looking that even the dog was taken by him. And he sure was nice to talk to also. I think I’m going to start planning my walk at the same time every day because it sure would be nice to run into him again. We’ve got a lot of catching up to do!

How To Choose The Right Arts And Crafts Show

Being an arts and crafts vendor, I’m always looking for good shows to attend. This article is really helpful and gives some great insight on the different shows that are out there. It helped me to find a little better focus and market group for my product. There are so many shows out there that it’s not always good to just attend the first one that you see. I personally look for events that draw parents and children since I sell children’s jewelry. The more that’s available for the kids, the better it is for me. Good luck in your search for the perfect show.

The Royal Wedding

Behold! Kate Middleton’s wedding dress!

The blushing bride made her long-awaited arrival at Westminster Abbey looking elegant and stunning in a long-sleeve lace, ivory and satin gown with flattering V neckline and 8-foot-long train, a simple lace-edged veil and understated (for royal standards) tiara sparkling over her half up, half down hairdo.

The wedding was fabulous and the bride couldn’t have looked better. More here…

The Funny Looking But Fun Pewi Ybike

Yes, I know. You may actually be wondering just what the heck this funny looking toy really is. This is a Pewi Ybike, a fabulous ride on toy for toddlers. This ride can be used in two ways. Your child can stand at the smiley looking face and push this ride around, strengthening their major muscle groups. Or they can sit on this ride and boogie all around the house with the ease of caster wheels. This is one cool ride that really stands out above all of the other push ride on toys that are available. If my kids were this age I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one for them. It’s the most innovative toy that I’ve seen in quite some time. And to top it off, it’s not all that expensive so it’s great for the pocketbook.

The Razor Rip Rider 360 Is One Cool Ride

The Razor Rip Rider 360 is designed like a big wheel but is more sturdy and has some extra features. Instead of plastic wheels on the back two wheels they have dual inclined caster wheels and a durable steel frame for extra support. The caster wheels give this ride the most incredible ability to drift and spin in some really cool ways. All your kids have to do is apply the brake to achieve resistance-free spinning. This ride on toy is built to last. The front wheel has a pneumatic tire that won’t go flat.  The rear caster wheels are very durable and can be replaced if they wear down.  The steel frame won’t bend or break. I’ve seen several of these in my neighborhood and let me tell you, those kids have a blast with this ride.

Black and Decker Tool Kits Have Something For Every Part Of The Home

Black and Decker tool kits just ooze quality and durability.  I think my father is a Black & Decker fan.  I say this because I’m sure that his work area is full of tools with this signature orange color.  Of course I never noticed this or paid any attention as I was growing up but now that I’m looking for some tools for my own house I feel like I can’t overlook the old Black & Decker.  Not only does it make me feel comfortable that my father likes them but I’m also loving the variety of the different kits and what appears to be the sought after FireStorm line. So for this new homeowner, a B&D tool kit may just be on my Christmas list!

Danville PA Spring Fling

I’m so excited to be able to attend the Danville Spring Fling as a vendor this year.  This is one huge event that draws upwards of 10,000 people.  I’m going to take my children’s jewelry, in particular the bottle cap jewelry, and head out for a good time.  My mother says she’ll help me so we should have a day of fun and hopefully lots of sales. So if you’re in Danville stop in to say hello and take in some great handcrafted wares!

Waka Flocka Flame Says Legal Issues Make Him A 'Stronger Man'

'A lot of situations I probably put myself into,' he tells Sway during 'RapFix Live.'

By Alvin Blanco, with reporting by Sway Calloway

Waka Flocka Flame hit MTV News' "RapFix Live" on Wednesday and sat down for a candid interview with Sway Calloway that covered a range of topics, including his breakthrough success and troubles with the law.

The ATL trap star is still pushing his debut album, Flockavelli, debuted his new video for "Grove St. Party" on MTV Jams and just released a new mixtape called Benjamin Flocka. Hits like "Hard in the Paint" and "No Hands" helped Waka gain mainstream recognition beyond the Southern states, but he said staying true to himself is the secret to his and labelmate Gucci Mane's success.

It's Time For Some Gardening

Finally, this awful winter appears to be over. It was a really long and cold one this year and I’m oh so ready to get out into the yard and get my hands in the soil. I went into the garage today to check out my lawn and gardening supplies and tools only to remember that my garden hand tools are in pretty rough shape. My tools have been around for years before the kids came along and I don’t even want to think about how long that’s been. So it’s just about time to shell out a little bit of money on some great tools for my flower beds and landscaping. I came across this great site that has a nice breakdown of the different types of gardening tools available. I’ve got to say that my absolute favorites are the pink sets – that’s what I’m aiming for!

Hippie Costumes For Halloween

I don’t know about you but I think that hippies were pretty cool. You know, all that peace and love was awesome and it’s amazing how popular this genre is today. Have you noticed that every teen and tween out there is covered in peace sign clothing and jewelry? That’s so very neat and that’s just one reason why hippie costumes are so popular for the Halloween season. The 60’s and 70’s were very cool times and Hallow’s Eve in the perfect time to have some fun with your favorite costumes of that time. My favorites are the hippie costumes like this one. I tried looking in my mom’s closet for some appropriate clothes so I could make my own costume but she obviously wasn’t a flower child so I started looking at costumes and found these. I know, I’m so far ahead of the holiday but isn’t it nice to know that you’ve got your costume lined up before it sells out!

Lil Wayne Hasn't Applied For Visa, Rep Says

I Am Still Music Tour rep tells MTV News, 'No visa was ever filed.'

By Alvin Blanco, with reporting by Rahman Dukes

Reports that Lil Wayne is banned from touring Europe due to his inability to obtain a travel visa because of his criminal record are false, MTV News has learned. While the eight months Weezy spent in prison will surely be considered when he seeks to enter the United Kingdom to perform, a representative told us the Young Money CEO has not yet applied for a visa.

Knipex Cutters Are Pretty Darn Awesome

I’ll be straight up honest with you, I had never heard of Knipex cutters until about 6 months ago when I needed a cutter to cut off a lock on one of my outside storage sheds. OK, you can make fun of me for losing the key, I won’t mind, my wife has already given me enough grief over it. (Which I certainly will remember the next time I have a Honey do request!) Since I didn’t have any lock cutters, and I certainly didn’t want to spend any money just to do one job, I called a neighbor and luckily he had one. Now let me tell you something, if you’ve ever cut off a good lock, it can take quite a good bit of effort. But when I cut mine off, it was like a hot knife slicing through butter. Whoa! I looked at the brand name and never expected to see the name Knipex. Who? So I figured I better do some investigating into these Knipex cutters and see what the heck else they make!

The Fresian Horse Is My All Time Favorite Horse

Did you ever watch the movie Lady Hawk?  Well, not only is Matthew Broderick too cute for words but that big and gorgeous black horse was a Fresian.  These horses are just amazing and incredible.  They’re loaded with long black manes and feathering on their legs.  I think they move just incredibly and they are just too majestic for words. They originate from Holland and they’re wonderful dressage and carriage horses. Now, my all time dream is to own one of them but wow, for about $25,000 they’re just a little bit out of my budget!

Ever Hear of The Tohnichi Torque Wrenches?

So, a torque wrench is a torque wrench is a torque wrench, right?  Well, that’s actually wrong. The Tohnichi Torque Wrenches are the best there is on the market. They’ve got the best precision, they’re quality made and durable, and they really will last a lifetime if you take care of them properly. These wrenches are made to be precision perfect and they are well worth the money. Yes, they’re a little bit more expensive than your typical wrench but if you need, or if you’re buying for someone who needs, the most precision tightening ability than a Tohnichi is the best that there is. I tried to shop for this wrench in the store but I have to tell you that the variety wasn’t the greatest.  So go ahead and shop online because this is where you’re going to find the best variety out there.

Computer Hand Tools And Tool Sets

Computer hand tools are great to have around the house. You know, it’s not always necessary to haul your computer down the road to the local repair facility. There are actually quite a few things that you can fix on your own like changing or adding DVD drives for example.

The best way to buy these tools are in the form of a tool kit because you really can’t use your regular hand tools for the computer.  They’re just not going to work the same. These kits are relatively inexpensive and my husband thought they were great once he actually had them in hand!

The Toy Story Power Wheels Is Pretty Darn Cool

If your kids are anything like mine then Toy Story is one of the coolest things ever to hit the big screen.  Who can live without Woody, Buzz, and that enthusiastic little Jessie in the house? Well, you’ll be thrilled to know that there’s the cutest little tot rod out there just covered in Toy Story characters and it’s the Toy Story Power Wheels.

Is this ride cute or what?  I think it’s the most adorable ride to hit the market in a long time and I wouldn’t hesitate to let my granddaughter drive it.  This is way more fun than a bike and it travels at a very safe 2 mph, has an automatic braking system, and a seat belt for safety.  You can’t go wrong!  Click here to read the review.

Titanium Framing Hammers Are Pretty Cool

I’m really not a tool girl so when my father said he wanted a titanium framing hammer for his birthday I had no clue what he was talking about.  So I headed up to the local hardware store for a little lesson and I was pleasantly surprised to find out how cool they were.  They’re so lightweight that there’s really no doubt that they’ll save a lot on a person’s are when they have to swing a hammer for any length of time. Now, the only thing that really a little bit of a downfall was the fact that these hammers are a little bit expensive.  In fact, they can be a lot expensive.  So what us kids did was get together with our money and we were able to get him a really nice one.  Mission accomplished!

Centurion Costumes For Testosterone Fun!

One of the most interesting costume ideas when you are planning to go to a dress-up party are definitely the Centurion Costumes. Centurions are the soldiers of the Roman army. Historically speaking, this elite group of soldiers was made stronger under the leadership of Gaius Julius Caesar, although it was started long before that. You have definitely seen one in various epic movies like the Gladiator or Clash of the Titans.

The Centurion has a very specific look. Although these age-old warriors wear skirt-like clothing, you cannot say that it takes away the sheer masculinity that the whole look can give the wearer. When your guy wears one of these costumes you can be sure that their testosterone will be working full blast!  And you can join the party with a Warrior princess costume to match!

Go Go Girl Costumes For The Hippie In You!

So, I may be a little too young to remember all the fun of the 60’s and the 70’s.  You know, those days when hippies ruled and flower power was all the rage?  Well, I may not have memories of all those days but I sure can tell you that I absolutely love everything that goes along with that era.  Love, peace, and happiness, not that’s what I’m about.  That why I think these Go Go Girl Costumes are just amazing.  They’re short and sexy, they’re full of flowers and bright colors, and just look at those amazing boots!  Gotta love them!  And amazingly, there are loads of outfits to choose from.  You can even go the disco route if that’s what you’d like.  I think my hubby would look great in the Saturday Night Fever version – now I’ve just got to convince him of it!

A Mont Blanc Pen For My Mother

So my mother just got a big promotion at work and a nice office to go with it.  I wanted to buy her something really nice as a gift and everyone kept telling me to get her a Mont Blanc Pen because it would last her a lifetime.  So I started shopping and WOW, little did I know that I had to fill out a price request form just to get an idea of price.  I was very fortunate to find a great seller online that was very helpful and needless to say I got her a really cool Legrand that is very nice.  I tried it out right away (after she did of course!) and have to say that it was worth every penny.  Not only did the pen write wonderfully but the expression on her face was priceless and oh so worth it!  I highly recommend these pens if you’re considering one!

The Schwinn Roadster Tricycle Sits Low To The Ground

Kids are so cute when they get to the age that they can ride bikes. I was never a real fan of tricycles though because of the problem that they have with tipping over.  It seemed like my kids were always falling over when they turned the steering wheel to fast. Boy have things changed for the better. That’s a picture of my neighbors daughter with her new Schwinn Roadster Tricycle.  I couldn’t believe how cool this tricycle is.  It sits very low to the ground and has a great center of gravity.  It’s very well made and sturdy. She rides it like a little trouper and she’s not quite 3 yet.  This is one big improvement over what my kids had when they were little.  Can’t wait to buy for the grandkids!

Peacock Costumes That Are Brilliant

Looking for a Halloween costume that will be sure to get you the best dressed award at your party?  A Peacock costume will let you ruffle your tail feathers in style while dazzling everyone with the brilliance.  There are some great costumes to choose from this year and you’re at the best place in which to find them.

Male peacocks in the wild are brilliantly colored and when they fan their tails they are one of the most amazing birds to be seen.  Their train feathers have a series of eyes that are most prominent when the tail is fanned and they have a crest of feathers on top of their heads.  This is exactly what’s replicated in a Peacock Halloween Costume.

And we can’t forget about the Sexy Peacock Costume, that stunning masterpiece that is not only brilliant for Halloween but is a knock out for Mardi Gras too.  If you add a little feathered mask with this one, you’ll be sure to be the best looking bird at this year’s party!

The Amazing Ezy Roller Riding Toys

You’ve got to admit that this is one cool ride on toy for the kids.  It actually looks like one of the luge’s that they ride in the winter Olympics, doesn’t it?  This is one great low to the ground ride for kids that enhances their balance, stability, and coordination. You’ve got to have (or quickly develop) a skill set that will allow you to maneuver this with pretty much just your feet and legs. What a cool concept in fun for the summer months. I bet if your child had an Ezy Roller Riding Toy that you’d see everyone else in the neighborhood getting one too!

The Barbie Smart Car Rocks For Summer Fun

Every child loves a battery operated ride on toy and girls are no exception to the rule.  Mattel has really set the standard with some of their Barbie rides and I think the most stylish and likeable is the Barbie Smart Car.  Just look at the design on this cool car – could it look any more modern?  And this car will easily seat two so your little girl can take a friend for a ride any time she desires.

Like all other Mattel rides, this car has many safety features including an automatic braking system that will stop the car as soon as your little one takes her foot off the brake.  And it comes with a great bumper to bumper warranty just in case you need it which you probably won’t!  So strap on that seatbelt and look at as your princess hits the neighborhood!
