Of course I don’t know anything about sitting too close to the screen.  All day long.  I’m just sayin’.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Charter. All opinions are 100% mine.
You know what I would love to have?  A faster internet connection.  There is only one choice that I know of where we live and it’s a cable connection for our internet.  Now compared to dial up, our internet is pretty fast.  But when I want to upload pictures it always gives me a hard time.  Or if we watch a movie online there is always a delay.  The thing that bugs me the post is when I want to play online games and the internet decides I am using too much connection or something. So, then my whole connection cuts out and Rich has to go do something or other with the modem and some wires to get it to work again.  Very annoying!!

I wish we could get charter ultra fast 60 where we live.  Right now it’s only available in Saint Louis and in Southern California.  They are working on getting this service available in more areas and hope to have a large area covered by the end of 201o.  I can only imagine how wonderful it would be to be uploading in one tab, using a social network in another tab and playing a game on yet another one without losing my connection!

Are you looking for a fun activity that you can use for a birthday party, a Christmas party, a Saturday spent at home or a day over Christmas vacation?  Well, I have the perfect idea for you- Shrinky Dinks from Joobli Studios.  These packages for Shrinky Dinks are perfect for any family who likes to spend time together doing some arts and crafts.  It can be super fun for both boys and girls- there are great choices for both!

Joobli’s Fun Packs come in a handy package that includes a foldout poster, 32+ original images for tracing, 6 sheets of shrinkable plastic, foolproof make-and-bake instructions and 8 ball chains to make bag tags. Shrinky Dinks is an amazing tool for budding artists with just four easy steps: trace, color, cut and bake.

When it’s birthday time or planning a sleepover, grab the Joobli Party Pack, priced at $18.95. Featuring the same four themed kits, each party package includes themed invitations and envelopes, a themed poster to decorate the party room (and get youngsters’ creative juices flowing), 32 original images for tracing, 8 ball chains for guests to make party favors and Shrinky Dinks sheets for 8 friends. Trace, color, cut and bake resulting in a memorable party complete with artistic favors to bring home.
