Fur Real Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup


Fur Real Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup
From Hasbro


Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Get ready to welcome a fun-loving furry friend into your house when you adopt Biscuit My Lovin Pup, one of the FurReal Friends by Hasbro. This oversized puppy responds to affectionate touches, voice commands, and motion with playful barks and realistic movements. Kids aged five and up are sure to love having a puppy of their very own.



Biscuit uses sensors to respond to your child's voice and touch. View larger.


With his large size and soft fur, Biscuit is an instant favorite. View larger.
What We Think

Fun Factor:

Durability:

(what this means)

The Good: Soft, life-like plush pup responds to voice commands

The Bad: Large size makes him tough to carry

In a Nutshell: Biscuit is a fun, lovable addition to the family
At a Glance

Ages: 5 and up
Requires: 6 D batteries
Make a New Friend
This oversized plush puppy has a soft coat and glossy, pleading eyes, just like a real dog. Get ready to start interpreting three different barks and a whole range of movements that are playful and affectionate. With a real collar, a bone-shaped treat to share, and a brush for smoothing out his silky fur, Biscuit is ready to settle into your house. He'll quickly start wagging his tail and making happy puppy noises. An adoption certificate is included to make kids feel like real pet owners.

Before Biscuit is ready for a fun day with your child, an adult will need to use a Philips head screwdriver to install six "D" cell batteries (not included). The battery compartment is neatly hidden behind a Velcro closure on the pup's stomach.

Getting to Know Your Puppy
Nine sensors allow Biscuit to respond when you pet him or issue a voice command. Kids will enjoy the contented sounds he makes when they pet his back and the discovery that if they hold a hand on his back he will lay down, if he is sitting, or sit up, if he is already laying down. Sensors in his nose and mouth prompt him to sniff when his nose is petted or chomp on his treat. Touch his left paw, and he will raise it to shake. A unique photo sensor in Biscuit's forehead prompts him to flinch, blink, or sneeze when you wave something in front of him.

Take a peek at the back of the bone-shaped tag on his collar to see all the commands he knows. You can ask him to "sit," "lie down," or "speak." He even knows how to shake and will nod or move his paws in excitement when you ask, "Do you want a treat?" Like any voice recognition technology, Biscuit can be tricked by background noise or speech that is unclear. You may want to help younger children practice speaking the commands loudly, clearly, and distinctly, so they are not disappointed by his confusion.

Fisher-Price Elmo Live


Fisher-Price Elmo Live
From Fisher Price

#1 : Fisher-Price Elmo Live is a sure fire winner for your list of Top Christmas Toys 2008.

Customer Reviews

He's Cute, Funny, and Animated!5
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RDTHY14RSOMYW Elmo Live will capture your child's imagination with his trademark infectious happiness. He waves his arms, dances, sits on his stool, tells jokes and stories, shows your child how much he loves him/her, laughs, sneezes -- everything you would expect an animated Elmo to do. Other than some mechanical grinding as he moves, Elmo is all cute. This little guy is a blast!

Elmo Live Doll5
I received this very quickly and as described...brand new. I wish I had shopped for a better price as I see these online for half the price I paid.

ELMO LIVE RIPOFFS4
I FELT LIKE I GOT RIPPED OFF.. THE PRICE I PAID ON AMAZON WAS $25 MORE THAN I SAW THE OTHER DAY IN SAM'S CLUB...AND I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING THE BEST PRICE OUT THERE...

BE CAREFUL WHAT AND WHERE YOU BUY

Tips on Playing with Elmo! Live
Elmo makes lots of fun movements and gestures -- the only slight drawback is that his movements generate a somewhat loud, mechanical sound that sometimes interferes with being able to understand what Elmo is saying. He also has to be on a hard, flat surface -- otherwise he has a tendency to fall over. This in itself has a fun effect, however. When he falls over, Elmo asks you to help him back up again, and when he's put back upright, he'll say "thank you." Also, since his nose has to be squeezed with a bit of force to activate him, our two-year-old tester sometimes needed assistance with it.

Elmo Live! comes with 6 AA batteries. A Phillips screwdriver is required to replace them.

Great Candle Making Video For Pillar Candles!5
This video covers the making of pillar candles. Some people would consider pillars to be one of the easiest types of candles to make, but those of us with some experience know that these can be very challenging to get perfect. If you are new to making candles, you might want to consider starting with Introduction to Candle Making DVD

The video covers several different types of waxes and specialty candles; including "chunk" and the very neat "splash" candle (they come out different every time).

I must say that I really do love making candles and have learned a lot from watching the videos produced by Gatehouse Candles. If you have read any of my other reviews, you know that I think Marie Kauffman is a fantastic teacher (with over 40 years in the business she should be!).
This yet another great candle making instructional video!

Product Description

Join Marie Kauffman as she walks you through a fun and fact filled video lesson on making fantastic pillar candles. Includes topics on paraffin, blended and natural waxes, wicks, dyes, scents and a variety of molds. There are also bonus instructions for chunk and splash pillar candles. Approx. run time is 85 minutes Marie Kauffman has been active in the candle industry for over 40 years. A full-time candle maker and professional teacher, Marie teaches candle making to hundreds of students every year.

I Love Layered Candles! The Berry Bowl Is Fun!5
Layered candles are very popular for me and this video teaches you how to make layered pillar, contaniner, and bowl styles.

"From Novie To Expert", Seriously!5
"From Novice To Expert", Seriously
I really loved this video! You can tell that Marie Kauffman loves working with Gel candles. This is the 5th video from Gatehouse Candles that I have seen, and while they have all been very good, this one is just outstanding. The video takes you from the most basic type of Gel candle through fairly involved candles that use other type of waxes as well. One lesson builds on the next, giving the needed experience to tackle the more complicated candles. The advice on working with embeds and how to use "scrap" wax was worth the cost alone. I just love the Maple Pecan Sundae and Ice Tea Set Projects, but I think the Strawberry Pie and Fruit Preserve candles will sell better for me.

Pros:
Very detailed instructions
Overhead shots during the detailed parts help a lot
Great Tips and Tricks
Great safety advice
Every major type of Gel candle included

Cons:
None! This is the best candlemaking video I have ever seen (and I have a lot of them)

If you are interested in Gel candles, or candle making in general, this video is for you! Highly recommended.

Product Description

Join Marie Kauffman as she walks you through a fun and fact filled video lesson on making nine different beautiful and popular gel wax candles. Includes instructions on basic container gel candles, a compote with embeds, fruit preserves, gel shooters, beer glasses, root beer floats, maple pecan sundaes, strawberry pies and ice tea sets. Gel safety instructions, tips for working with embeds and techniques to get great looking realistic effects are also included! Marie Kauffman has been active in the candle industry for over 40 years. All full time candle maker and professional teacher, Marie teaches candle making to hundreds of students every year.

A VERY FUN Video! They Look So YUMMY!5
I love bakery candles and that is one of the reasons I started to make candles to begin with. These candles are always my best sellers at shows and people love to get them as gifts.

I should say that I have met one of the people in this video (Noreen Hill)! Noreen and Marie Kauffman work together on this video to teach a lot of different bakery style candles, including muffins, preserves, sundaes, pies, etc. It is fun to hear them chat and joke with each other.

If you might also be interested in two other videos in this series (there are quite a few and they are all good), Introduction to Candle Making DVD and the excellent Making Gel Candles Instructional DVD

Gel Candles: 40 Creative Projects



Gel Candles: 40 Creative Projects
By C. Kalia Westerman









Customer Reviews

Gel Candles: 40 Creative Projects5
Great book, gives alot of information. A must have if you enjoy making candles.

Great and Easy To Follow4
I love the pictures and the easy to follow projects, I recommend this book if you would like to make your own gel candles.

Author Corrects Oct. 27 Review5
I am the author of this book. I am compelled to respond to the negative review written October 27.

Of course the reviewer has a right to her opinion, however it is incorrect that I recommend people "set an untabbed wick in gel". In my introduction, on page 4, I state "The wick must be self-tabbed with a metal holder". In my general discussion of materials required, on page 21, I state "the wick must have a metal T-Tab at its base which is at least 7/16" high". Finally, in my detailed discussion of wicks on page 22, I explain at great length why a tabbed wick is so essential (it would be a fire hazard to not use one).

I do not believe that the reviewer has read my book very carefully because her statement about wicks, as well as her other statements, do not reflect the content of the book.

Thanks for taking the time to read this statement.

Sincerely,

Kaila Westerman

Product Description

Candle gel is the hottest new product in candle crafting. This new product (95% mineral oil, 5% resin) is transparent, is extremely easy to clean up, and has a significantly longer burning time than traditional waxes. Author Kaila Westerman gives the basics of gel candle crafting in ten easy steps, then explores the endless possibilities for creating special effects with layers of color, swirls, bubbles, specialty molds, and embedments such as glass, botanicals, shells, stones, and pieces of solid paraffin candle wax. Readers can create candles that look like rainbows, aquariums, seascapes, playful sodas and other drinks, and more. Since gel candles cannot stand alone, each design is enhanced by wonderful whimsical, vintage, or even sophisticated containers.

Candle Making Step-by-Step Crafts Review



Candle Making (Step-by-Step Crafts)
By Cheryl Owen









Customer Reviews

I can't believe that no one has written a review for this!!5
This book starts out with defining different materials,waxes, molds,coloring/scenting,and wicks. It tells you how to prepare the wick;how to level the bottom of the candle;and how to use containers found in all homes. It has sections on beeswax candles,making tapers at home,making your own molds,painting and applique candles, layering candles, making floating flowers by hand, imbedding, gel candles(small section),making stacked candles,hurricane(shell)candles,stencilling, wrapped candle ideas,stick candles for the yard,marbling candles,and frosted candles. This book includes templates, variations and tips in the sections and all pages are either full colored pictures or have multiple pictures. Many of the crafts are even explained with pictures to show the novice how to make candles. I have bought around 30 books on candles and I still like this very much. It shows you how to make candles from nothing but the wax and your hands. I can't say enough about this book...

Making Candles & Soaps For Dummies Book Review



Making Candles & Soaps For Dummies (For Dummies (Sports & Hobbies))
By Kelly Ewing








Customer Reviews

The Weakest of Books, Better Available3
The Weakest of Books, Better Available

Being a professional candle maker (3rd generation) and an avid reader, I have a huge collection of candle and soap making books. After looking over "Making Candles & Soaps for Dummies" for perhaps the 3rd time, I can honestly say that there are many better books covering both subjects. This book covers only the very basic information and will leave you with more questions than answers.

For the candle side, I highly recommend Beginner's Guide to Candlemaking or the instructional video Introduction To Candle Making

On the soap side, try Smart Soapmaking: The Simple Guide to Making Traditional Handmade Soap Quickl Safely, and Reliably, or How to Make Luxurious Handcrafted Soaps for Family, Friends, and Yourself.

These are both great hobbies that can become good sideline business and there are good resources available on the subject... this book is not one of them.

Not as helpful as others in the "Dummies" series2
I usually love the "Dummies" books and was hoping this one could teach me about soapmaking. It really didn't have much in the way of helpful information and I ended it returning it.

Great for melt and pour soap creations4
I did not read the sections on candle making, so this review is strictly based on the soap sections. I found this book to be one of the most helpful ones I've read (I checked out a lot from the library). True, it does not cover the cold process, but as the more simple, melt and pour method is all that I'm interested in, this book is right on target for my needs.

In addition to the color and fragrance info, it discusses stenciled soap, soap on a rope, variegated soap, embedded soap, three-dimensional soap, imprinted soap, soap balls, customized shampoo, massage oil, bath salts liquid soap and more.

I also enjoyed Chapter 19 which is devoted entirely to aromatherapy. It lets you know what a particular scent is noted for (i.e. boosting memory, fighting infections, relieving congestion, calming effect, etc.), as well as whether it is photosensitizing (increases your chance for a sunburn), a possible irritant to sensitive skin, possesses antibacterial qualities, etc.

Basic Candle Making: All the Skills and Tools You Need to Get Started


Basic Candle Making: All the Skills and Tools You Need to Get Started (Basic Books Series)
By Eric Ebeling








Customer Reviews

Not a good choice....even for beginners1
I bought the book with just a little knowledge of the candle making industry. The problem with the book is its not updated for the new technology and materials that are used in candle making today. Yes it does a good job of breaking down the VERY BASICS but thats it. You need to know more about the industry than this book covers. I got more information from watching videos on youtube and the different candle supply companies websites than the couple of books I recently purchased. Watch videos and get up to date information on new waxes and materials. Save yourself the $15 or whatever you may spend and research the internet and the big candle supply companies out there. They know whats new and what works

When they say basic, they mean basic.3
This is a great book if you've never read anything about candlemaking previously. I didn't realize it was going to be so 'simple'. It's extremely basic and I found it almost childlike. It's very easy to understand, has good pictures, and would be great if you are a real beginner.

Excellent for true beginners5
I started candle making several months ago. I wish I had had this book on Day 1. I pretty much figured out the basics on my own, but would have saved a lot of time (and mistakes) if I had had this book to start with. It's Candle Making 101: basic, simple, step by step, and lots of photos. A great book if you are just starting out.

Product Description

Step-by-step color photographs and descriptive detail make this book indispensable for beginners looking to create beautiful and functional scented candles on their very first try, and for experienced crafters who want to sharpen their skills. Precise instructions eliminate the guesswork that too often creeps into how-to books. Gleaned from the expertise of master candle makers, this guide presents everything a novice needs to know to get started crafting traditional tapers and molded candles, container and rolled beeswax candles, and interesting variations on each. Includes guidelines for buying tools and materials, preparing the workspace, and working safely and effectively, as well as suggested shopping lists. This book includes the contributions of veteran candle makers and crafters.

Celtic Woman Christmas5
These are without question the most wonderful female voices I've heard! I'd give them 10 stars if I could. I have seen them live and loved every minute of it. They're awesome!! The harmony, staging, and everything about their production is first class.

Holiday Classic5
I heard their songs on the radio and had to buy this CD. I love it!! It instantly gets you in the holiday spirit. They have amazing voices - they sound like angels! BUY THIS CD!!!

Genuine worship music.5
This Christmas concert is a beautiful addition to my collection of holiday tunes to stack on the carousel come December. This entire group under the direction of David Downes comes up a winner in helping the world celebrate Christmas.
