Roku LT Streaming Player

We love it!

5out of 5

Pros: Easy to set up, Easy to use, High quality picture, Compact, Video selection, Reliability, Built in Wi-Fi, Quality Remote, Great value
Cons: Want more video choices
Best Uses: Bedroom, Living room, Secondary TV, Primary TV
Describe Yourself: Movie buff, Power User, Home entertainment enthusiast, Netflix fan, Technophile

We love the Roku! As I stated in my pros, the remote is of good quality. We had previously bought another brand and the remote either wouldn't work or the battery kept popping out. We now have two Roku's and plan to get more for our home! The Roku also has a larger selection of available content. This is great for my kids since we homeschool. We can look things up on YouTube or in the various movie selections to find content about whatever we are studying!

TrueBlood Swap on Rav

I am participating in a swap on Ravelry in the TrueBlood group. I haven't received my package yet, but I thought I would show you some pictures of what I sent my spoilee.
Here is what she saw when she opened the box.
This is all the little goodies she got to open!
A note from me explaining what the theme of my package was: "Pick Me: Eric vs. Alcide" (she likes them both, so I had Eric & Alcide to kind of plead their cases to win her over...)
These are the goodies from Eric: bracelet, stitch markers, yarn, chocolate candle, do not disturb sign, washcloth & body wash. And a note from Pam to help convince her to pick Eric.
Here are the goodies from Alcide: a cowl, starburst, socks, hot chocolate, sewing tin, dishcloth, earrings, stitch markers, & vanilla candle.
She has a yorkie, so Sam Merlotte's threw in a new hand knit dog toy:
The back on the TB project bag:
Side view:
A hand drawn pic from me. And a keychain with a blood drop and a claw to represent Eric & Alcide.
A few pix of Joe Manganiello (Alcide) and some paper dolls ;-) as well as a few crocheted hearts I threw into the box.
The best part is that she loved everything! Yay! I cannot wait until the next swap!
I've had so much fun...just waiting on my swap package to arrive and see all the goodies I get!

True Blood Swap

So, I am participating in the TB swap on Ravelry. I cannot wait to see who has me as their stalkee...errr...swapee!
We had to fill out a survey so our swapee would know about us and know what kinds of things we like...who's team we are on (Eric!/Bill/Alcide/etc). I thought I would post a few more tidbits about myself here to help them out...if they read this, that is. (will keep adding as I think of stuff)

~I love to read. Bookmarks would be great.
~Love coffee. Starbucks is yummy. So is hot chocolate
~Love cooking, sewing, knitting, crocheting, scrapbooking...all when I get the chance of course.
~Three kids. 5,3,1...We homeschool.
~We have a tuxedo kitty: Gizmo. A border collie: Bristol Talladega, 2birds: Smokey & Chattanooga.
~NASCAR fans here! Go #11 Denny Hamlin & #88 Dale Jr. #18 is my sons favorite.
~Tennessee Vols fans! Kids middle names are Tennessee, Knoxville, & Memphis!
~I love anything that has skulls on it...jewelry, shirts, scarves, purses, etc.
~Candles make me happy. Vanilla is #1 favorite scent..along with Christmas cookie.
~I mainly crocheted up until recently. Knitting is more my thing now. Could always use some circulars or dpns in any size.
~I love to draw. I'm always doodling on something.
TB Merchandise:
~Keychain
~Mug/Glasses (I have 2 Merlotte's glasses, but will welcome more.)
~Shirt...Fangtasia...but Merlotte's or just a TB shirt would be awesome.
~Totally need season 3, but that's a long shot unless you find it on extreme clearance lol.
~I haven't read Dead Reckoning. (I have Dead in the Family on hard copy. Would love the other books as well.)
~Calendar
Etsy: I know some of these are higher priced, but I would take a homemade-by-you knockoff if it was doable!
