It’s the last week of October and as we speak I type, it’s a cool 91 degrees here in the Old Pueblo. I’m so ready for the temperature to finally turn and the sun to release it’s furry.
But that’s part of life in the desert, I guess. Sometimes it’s late November before we can pull out our flannel sheets and sweaters and gloves.
You may remember last year when I shared with you about Isotoner’s® smarTouch gloves, specifically designed for use with touch screen devices. No more pulling off your right ( or left as the case may be…) to text or make a phone call.
Designed with Isotoner® stretch fabrics for proper fingertip fit, these gloves use a conductive thread embroidered on the index fingers and thumbs that sends an electrical impulse to touchscreen devices – allowing uninterrupted typing and texting in the cold.
I love mine. When I get to use them…ahem.
Well this year, Isotoner® has added new fabrics, sizes and colors to the smarTouch line.
Because proper fit is so important, Isotoner® has launched the Ultimate Misfit Gift contest. Submit a misfit gift you’ve received in the past, whether it’s an ugly sweater in the wrong size or a CD of a band you despise, and you could win big prizes, including gloves, iPads and a $5,000 holiday shopping spree. Simply upload a photo of your ultimate misfit gift and ask your friends to vote between now and December 5, 2011.
SmarTouch gloves retail from $14 to $42 and make a great gift for the holidays.
WIN IT! You can also enter here to win your own pair of smarTouch gloves, just in time for winter. Enter below by doing any or all of the following (please leave a separate comment for each):

Its October…you know what that means…there’s pink everywhere you look.
I love how a simple, feminine color can evoke such recognition, awareness, and compassion.

Saturday we had the privilege of attending the Disney on Ice Toy Story 3 show here in Tucson.
It was colorful…
and fun for all ages…
The first half of the show seemed to focus more on the general Toy Story movie series. Then in the second half, there were more of the Toy Story 3 specific characters and elements. It was really interesting to see how the producers translated the story from big screen to ice. There were flying army men, fireworks and laser lights to boot.
Our seats weren’t anything to write home about but they got the job done. There was a wide age range in attendance but the toddlers were representin’ for sure. Although, I my 10-15 year olds thoroughly enjoyed the show and picked up on the subtleties.
After the show we enjoyed some In n Out with Becca and Chelsea and their too-cute kids. The consensus seemed to be the same…enjoyed be all. If you liked the movie, you’ll like the on-ice show. I’d recommend catching the show if it comes to your town!
I am a Feld Family Ambassador, and in exchange for my time and efforts in attending shows and reporting my opinion within this blog, as well as keeping you advised of the latest discount offers, Feld Entertainment has provided me with complimentary tickets to this show. All opinions, as always, are my own.

Im a crafty.
I love working with my hands. Its a welcome departure from the digital world of my day job.
Most weekends you’ll find me (nowhere near my computer) with some yarn and a hook in my hands, or at a friday night crop with my “chicks”. Scrapbooking and crochet are my two big loves right now.
I also can’t resist some good immediate gratification sprinkled in. Check out this cute altered binder clip (you know, the big fatty ones?) I learned how to make last week at the crop I attend:
Isnt it the cutest? The variations are endless. You could use this for so many things…
I did a quick Google search and found a great video tutorial…Kerry at Kerry’s Paper Crafts shows you how to make it. I promise it will take you less than 10 minutes!
