This is cute little Tic Tac Toe game that would be nice for little ones.  A Twist of Art has 2 styles that are available, Hearts or Stars.  We were sent the heart board and games piece's to review.

A Twist of Art also has a wide variety of items for sale in her Etsy Shop.  She has things from jewerly to wired art creations to other painted items.  Here were some of my favorites:

Handmade Holidays #11 - Marshmallow Shooters! Review & Giveaway

I am really excited to tell you all about the Handmade Holiday Gift Idea #11!  Little Expressions sent us 2 Marshmallow Shooters to review and boy were we excited! 

In case you have never seen a Marshmallow Shooter, allow me to explain what they are.  They are made from a simple contruction of PVC piping and LOADS of FUN!!  I have seen Marshmallow Shooters before at craft fairs but had never bought one.  One of the things that I really liked about the ones from Little Expressions is that they are painted camouflage. 

Aren't they cool!!

The way that they work is you place a marshmallow in the top mouth piece and then blow!   We were amazed at how far the marshmallows flew across the room, they can shoot up to 75 feet!  I think my husband wants one of his very own, and truthfully so do I!!  I think I am going to have to order some extra ones so we can all join in the fun! 

They come in several different colors.

The marshmallow shooters are very well made and pretty indestructible in my opinion.  One of these and a extra large bag of marshmallows would make anyone happy!  They are made for ages 3-93, so even grandma or grandpa might like one : )

Little Expressions sells them for $5.00 each and they are sold in sets of 2, 4, 5 and 10.  Just a word of advice, when you order make sure you order enough for everyone, trust me you'll me glad  you did.

Little Expressions has offered to GIVEAWAY 2 Marshmallow Shooters to ONE of YOU (USA or Canadian Residents only).  The GIVEAWAY will run until December 23.  Here is how you can enter to win:
