Folgers Flavors Coffee Enhancers Review

Another Crowdtap mission! This time I got to try Folgers Flavors Coffee Enhancers! Just take a look at the amazing kit that Folgers and Crowdtap sent to us by checking out my unboxing below!

That's right! 3 of each flavor (Vanilla, Mocha, Caramel, & Hazelnut) were included. All were full size! That was a great surprise. And if you watched my video and seen where I mentioned sucralose, that was not an issue either.

The great thing about this is you could take it with you wherever you go, add a couple squirts to your coffee, and bam, instant amazing flavor! You can even adjust the flavor by adding more or less. I did have to add sugar to my coffee but that was fine with me. I was much more pleased with adding sugar than worrying about the sucralose flavor. I'm not a fan of that but you couldn't even tell it was there.

My favorite has turned out to be the caramel. It is amazing. It gives the taste of my favorite store bought frappe. I will be making my own at home now. I must now head to the store for some cool whip and caramel topping. lol

I loved the flavors so much that I decided to get my paint on with coffee. You all know me, I'm random. So while I was enjoying a nice mocha coffee, I was dipping a brush into some Folgers and painting this little lovely coffee horse.

At about $3 a piece, you would be surprised how long these bottles last. They are only 1.62 fl. oz. but one small squirt in your cup will be plenty to get your coffee bursting with amazing flavor. Everything you need to know about my new favorite coffee enhancers can be found at this link.

All in all, I would give this a 4 out of 5 stars. It's quick and simple. It makes already delicious coffee amazing. It is portable to turn that gas station coffee into a cafe experience. The only thing I can tell you is to make sure you have sugar or another type of sweetener. Definitely check it out! Try each flavor. It may surprise you which one you will like the best.

Tie Die/Watercolor Backgrounds for Cards

Hi my random friends! I just wanted to share a neat little technique you can use to create a watercolor background effect for cards. All you need is some washable markers, a spray bottle of water, and a stamp block. All the details are in the video below.

It is really simple and easy and makes very interesting patterns on your card. Also, the great thing is, no card is exactly the same.

I hope you enjoy the video below and come back to check for more videos soon. Have a great and random day.

Mason Jar Pencil Sharpener

Hi guys! Randomly, how are you? Today I decided to make a mason jar pencil sharpener for the studio today. Here is a little video on how to make it.

Mason Jar Pencil Sharpener: http://youtu.be/0TQceCu6Png

You will need:
-A mason jar
-A lid ring
-A lid
-A drill/rotary (Dremel) tool with a drill/rotary bit to make a hole through the lid
-A metal washer with a hole large enough to match up with the pencil sharpener hole.
-a hand held pencil sharpener
-Hot glue gun and glue
-Scissors
-Exacto knife
And
-A piece of cardstock (optional)

Optional decorations should be done first:
A. Lay the lid on the cardstock and trace around it. Cut out the circle from the cardstock. Make sure you cut a little bigger than the traced circle.
B. Center the washer in the middle of the circle of cardstock.  Trace around the outer side of the washer and use the Exacto Knife to cut out the traced washer circle. When the sharpener is finished, this will just rest in between the lid and ring when it is screwed onto the mason jar.

How to make the actual pencil sharpener:
1. Place washer on top of jar lid. Center it so that the hole in the washer is in the center of the lid. Mark where the hole is as this will be where your pencil will go through the lid. Remove the washer and drill out the hole in the jar lid.
2. After drilling, glue the washer on top of the jar lid so that the hole in the washer and the hole in the lid line up.
3. Now flip the lid over and glue the pencil sharpener to the bottom of the lid. The hole in the lid should line up with the hole in the pencil sharpener where the pencil will go.
4. Now, hot glue around the edges of the sharpener, except where the shavings come out, so that the glue will hold the sharpener to the lid when the pencil is being twisted.
5a. (Optional) place the cut out cardstock on top of lid. The washer should slide through the hole in the cardstock.
5b. Put the lid on the jar with the washer facing upward. Screw the ring on the jar and viola... you have a mason jar pencil sharpener.

The beginning of randomness!!!!

Howdy to all you random people out there! Welcome to my random life!

I hope you all are doing well in the random and vast outer space of the world wide web. I hope your own random life is going in a randomly happy direction! I know what you are thinking, "ENOUGH WITH THE RANDOMS YOU CRAZY GIRL!" 

Okay, calm down! Geesh! You should know by the name of the blog that it's going to be RANDOM. Hahaha okay, seriously, I will try to keep my randoms at a minimal. 

Anywho, I guess I just wanted to start a blog about all the things that I am interested in and bring forth a collective review and DIY area to the madness that is my life. 

Here is a few examples of my chaotic life. I am an artist, crafter, jewelry maker, and polymer clay artist. I am an avid reader and writer. I like all things books. I am even guilty of making my own books. I love to cook and try new recipes. I love doing product testing for #BzzAgent and giving my most honest opinion on the product. I love music in all sounds and forms. I am interested in sci fi and fantasy. I won't lie, I'm a geek. I love fan-domes. Walking Dead, vampires and werewolves, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, anything to do with medieval times, Dungeons and Dragons. I am addicted to Puzzles and Dragons. Who is with me? Shew, that game takes up a lot of my time. And to add to all that, I'm a mail artist with a major pen pal addiction. I love getting things in the mail! 

So pretty much, to tie all that random info together, this will be a place where I review things like products, tv shows, books, or games. I will also try to add some tutorials on how to make things. I will be sharing some of the awesome mail art I get from my pen pals. Hopefully you all will enjoy the craziness and join in. 

Thanks for your time. Hope you come back soon and see all the random things I have going.
