4th of July Party Games Flash Giveaway!

A few weeks ago I reviewed the 4th of July Party Pack and now I have a Flash Giveaway just for you!!!  This will last for 48 hours!!  Check out the review and find out just how much fun these party games are!!!

Guest Post: Piczzle Review/Giveaway

Wow, another Guest Post from Bloggity Blog!!!  Ever want an extra special gift that just says your special? I know I do, I just can't afford super expensive gifts like I want. My son has worked really hard in his young life, serving in the Marine Corps for 4 years and then going to college when he got home after 2 tours in Iraq. Making it into the band, he is living his dream. So to preserve one of his most cherished memories I ordered the Piczzle a picture puzzle that will be his for life. When I ordered this customized jigsaw puzzle I asked for the large with the most pieces I could (308 pieces:$32.95). I have to tell you If I had to do it all over I would still get the large but I think I would get the 99 

 piece puzzle instead (unless you love a great challenge like I do). The Piczzles pieces are a lot alike and haha this puzzle had too many similar pieces. It would have been easier for this old girl to put it together with less of a fuss. My son in law and I sat down and were able to complete this puzzle in 5 hours of continuous work.

Overall, I am delighted with the the customer service at  Piczzle, the quality of the custom made jigsaw puzzle that arrived and the fact that I could get a custom box that showed the completed photo puzzle, because I like to know what it is going to look like and have sort of a chart to go by when I am putting a large puzzle together. There are a huge variety of  Piczzles from 6 pieces to 2000 piece Piczzles and you can also order them in cardboard like mine or wood!

If you need a great thank you gift for your wedding, want to preserve a special moment in an extra special way or just want to immortalize a family picture go HERE and see for yourself how affordable Piczzles truly are. You can also follow Piczzles on Facebook, and YouTube.


Now for the fun... Piczzles wants one of my Bloggity followers to have one of these great Piczzles for their very own for FREE all you have to do is the easy entry and that's it! The rest are optional do one or do them all that is up to you.

4th of July Party Pack Review!

Ohhh, how I wish we were still doing summer family reunions.  I know many people have family get together's and family reunions around the 4th of July.  It is a way to celebrate family and our country.


I was given the opportunity to review these 4th of July Games and share it with you.  This is something that children and adults will both love!   I was thinking about these little games and I think they would have been perfect when I was growing up!  Every 4th of July we had a block party and I can remember all of the neighbor kids driving the parents crazy!  


There were a lot of neighbor kids from anywhere to a couple years older than me to 5 years younger which meant lots of little kids running around all over the place.  I think the only time we were all some what calm was when we were allowed to play with sparklers.

My sister and I would have loved the Mad Libs not just for the 4th of July but for road trips we were always looking for new ones and the Mad Libs in this one were fun!  I made my boyfriend fill them out with me.  These weren't the only thing that was fun.  I ran through the trivia questions one my own, with my boyfriend, and my boss. (Lol!)  It was a lot of fun and I noticed we all knew different things (though Mr. Smartypants knew more than anyone else! My boyfriend knows way too many random facts about everything).  


I admit I might bring it whereever we are for the 4th of July this year and torture (hem. I didn't say that. :) )... I mean play these games with my boyfriends teenaged brothers eventhough I know they won't want to play with me!

**Disclaimer**

Some of these games are intended for children while others are intended for adults.  Keep this in mind when purchasing as you will not want to include all of these games into play when children are around.

The pack retails for $19.95. At the time of writing, it consists of:

Independence Day Trivia game
Independence Day Mad Libs
Patriotic Trivia match game

Secret Agent/Spy Party Printables Review

I love games and I love things that make me think! This fun little spy activity is perfect for me!  Since I do not have any kids I tried everything out just with me.  I know this is something that I would have loved as a child!


This is a great party game for children (and a pretty fun, and silly one for adults too).  When you get this package it will be in PDF format and all you will have to do is print out the materials.  All of the directions are really simple and detailed so that you will be able to understand and not mess anything up.


Aside from the printed out materials you will need:

• Brads
• Black Balloons
• Lemon Juice
• (wax) Crayons

All of these items are easy enough to find at your local stores.  You will want to make sure that the balloons are black so that you cannot see into them.


As I stated above I just set this up for me and it was quite entertaining.  I loved how well it all worked and I can just imagine how excited kids would be to play this game.


You can get your own Secret Agent Super Spy Party Games HERE.

WORDS WITH FRIENDS

Authored by Rickey Combs

I have gotten addicted to a game that I can play on my iPad using my clear 4g connection. The game is the same one that Alec Baldwin got into all that trouble over on the United Flight. Yes, you guessed it, it is “Words with Friends”. It is so much fun. It is basically like a computer Scrabble. You can play against friends that you know or you can play against random opponents. You can even link your game to your Facebook so that everyone can see how great of a Scrabble player you are. I have really gotten better with time, learned more strategies, and learned a lot of new words that I didn’t even know existed. When I find a word that I don’t know the meaning of, I make sure that I look up. It justifies me playing a computer game all the time. I always tell myself that it is educational and that playing in my free time is o.k. Hey, its not like I’m playing games like Halo, that aren’t in least educational!

Games for cats!

If you have cats I think this is just too cool!  I don' have an iPad or anything so I haven't tried any of these games out.  My cats  recently figured out that the TV has pictures on it and they watch TV with me all the time now!  Come check out these 5 games made by Friskies!  They are all FREE!!!  Just go to Games for Cats!
