A Marvelous Mess #20 and Features!!!

I'm going to be super quick.....because I wine-ing and hot tubbing with family (Ahhh, summer). 

Here are my favorites from last week:

Giraffe Shirt from Cookie and Claire........Um, adorable. Freezer paper and ribbons. This is such a fantastic shirt!!

Dare To Be Spare from Hello Lovely.......she totally inspires me with her decor simplicity. Everything is much less *complicated*. 

Here is a great "I never thought of that" tutorial:

How To Paint Laminate furniture from DIY Kinda Girl. I seriously had no idea it could look so *good*. Very very cool.

And, the project I am going to feature on my sidebar for a week:

Strawberry Shortcake Cookies  from Cooking with K...........I don't know about you, but around here Strawberries are just in season and taste amazing. What a sweet compliment to all the jams and pies made with this perfect fruit.

Now, on to the party!!

Danny vs the ShedMonster

Danny has a problem. He is a Fuzzy, Furry, Shedding hair onto everything, finding Danny hair in our foods kind-of-cat.

In enters the ShedMonster pet grooming tool:

He is no stranger to a good brushing. Unfortunately, I don't do it enough because it makes me so darn *itchy* and it takes so long!! Danny usually adores it. Any attention is good attention in his book. :-) 

The ShedMonster is purported to reduce shedding by up to 90%!! It gets right to the undercoat and gets at the hair that it so hard to reach. It it supposed to de-shed, de-mat, and de-tangle.

My verdict?? This tool is everything we have been looking for!!!!

Watch this 1.5 minute video to see how much hair I get from combing Danny (in such a short time):

Imagine what it could do it 10 minutes!! 

You can find the ShedMonster online HERE for only 19.99!! That includes a 5 piece Grooming Kit!!

I am totally impressed. Now that I've got two doggies as well, I am sure this tool will be a blessing. 

You can find ShedMonster on FACEBOOK as well!!

Have a Fairy Happy Fourth!!

I hope you all have wonderful plans for your Independence Day celebration!! The Munchkin and I took the time to make the President of the Fairy's house today. The Great Lady even has a table for her councilors. 

 I can't tell you how much fun it is to make these fairy houses. It's something we make sure to do every summer. You can see last years houses HERE and a fun doorway HERE. 

These houses are made from found objects outside and recently include stumps from a tree that fell recently during a storm. They are the perfect seat for a Fairy by a small campfire. If you have a child in your life, I guarantee you will have so much fun!!

It would be a great project while lounging around on your lawn, waiting for your burgers and hot dogs, on the fourth!!
