2: Four Fun Blu-ray Movies

1. Marley & Me: Marley is back for more tail-wagging fun, and this time he speaks! That's right, "the world's worst dog" has a frisky voice and and an attitude to match. Release Date: 08/16/2011 Rating: PG Format: DVD Screen Format: Widescreen Run Time (in minutes): 86 minutes Language: English Audio Tracks: AC, Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital Surround
2. Bridesmaids: The delightful Kristen Wiig, who's shone in dozens of supporting roles and on Saturday Night Live, hits a bull's-eye with her first lead role in Bridesmaids. Annie (Wiig) isn't doing so well; her bakery failed and she keeps sleeping with a good-looking louse (Jon Hamm, Mad Men), but she's always had her best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph, Away We Go) to buoy her up… until Lillian gets engaged.
3. Hotel For Dogs: Everyone deserves a loving family, but foster kids Andi (Emma Roberts) and Bruce (Jake T. Austin) have been placed with a flaky couple who care more for their aspiring rock careers than their foster children. Even though Andi and Bruce's mischievous tendencies repeatedly get them into trouble, the siblings are essentially good kids who care deeply for one another and their secretly adopted dog Friday. After a close call with the local pound, the kids end up searching for Friday in an abandoned old hotel where they find several stray dogs seeking shelter. The kids' compassion for the homeless dogs compels them to begin caring for the strays and they soon join forces with three other local kids to take in strays from across the city.
4. How to Train Your Dragon: A winning mixture of adventure, slapstick comedy, and friendship, Hiccup (voice by Jay Baruchel) is a failure as a Viking: skinny, inquisitive, and inventive, he asks questions and tries out unsuccessful contraptions when he's supposed to be fighting the dragons that attack his village. How to Train Your Dragon will be just as enjoyable 10 or 20 years from now as it is today. (Rated PG: suitable for ages 8 and older, violence, some intense action and scary dragons) --Charles Solomon

3: $25 Pizza Hut Gift Card

Need we say more? Fresh Hot Pizza delivered right to your door!

4: Orville Redenbacher Movie Theatre Butter Popcorn

You always need popcorn to watch a movie!

Charity Art Sale

The month of December brings out the kindness of people, especially when it comes to children. Having a family, who have supported St Jude's for years, worked local church's soup kitchen on the holiday and selling things for various charities. I think it is very important to keep the message of the season in the forefront of people's minds. The follow is one of the most creative ideas I've heard.

In coordination with the Cayuga Heights Elementary School in Depew, NY, art students turn their projects into prints and greeting cards. The kids get a HUGE kick out of what can be done with Photoshop to enhance pencil drawings, and more so excited when they see their work UNALTERED and on the computer screen for sale!

This is Giovanna, the founder of Decorate for Goodness Sake on her first interview!

This year all proceeds go to St Jude Children's Research Hospital.

 

No child is turned away because their families cannot pay. 

Every purchase is accompanied with a thank you note on behalf of the children of St Jude's, from Giovanna. 

100% of proceeds are donated.

You can view the charity art sale HERE!

Won't you come and see what she has made this year?
