Review & Giveaway: Virginia Cornhole Boards

 

 

 

 

 

If you are out and about around here, you know what corn hole is and you most likely play it often in the summer and fall months. You might play it at a tailgating party before a college football game or at a cookout in your backyard. Corn hole board and bag sets are a hot commodity around here. Virginia Cornhole Boards is a locally owned business who makes custom corn hole boards.
 
Framing of the boards are made with 2x4's and the tops are made from Blondewood. There legs are also made from 2x4's and fold up into the box for easier storage. They secure all there  boards with screws and use wood filler on all screw holes, and where the wood meets to give a... more seamless finished look!

They hand paint all of the designs on the boards and then seal each board (underneath as well) to give a nice shine and slick finish and to protect from weather and daily use!Customers have the option of choosing any design they desire and boards are customized Virginia Cornhole Boards with interpretation of the design choice. You are guaranteed to get a unique set that you won’t see anywhere else.
 
 



What Is Cornhole?

For those of you who have no clue what cornhole is, it is similar to horseshoes except you use wooden boxes called cornhole platforms and corn bags instead of horseshoes and metal stakes. Contestants take turns pitching their corn bags at the cornhole platform until a contestant reaches the score of 21 points. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point.
Scoring can be swift and the lead may change hands several times in a match before the winner is decided.
The game is generally played tournament style with an individual or team being named the champion at the end of the tournament.

You can score a custom set from Virginia Cornhole Boards for around $150.  Each set comes with corn bags that match the colors of your custom design. 

 

 

 

My thoughts:

My husband and I have been wanting to own a quality custom cornhole board set for a long time. We just never found the right time, so when I discovered Virginia Cornhole Boards I had to try out one of their sets. We were in awe at the photos on the site of previous boards they had created and weren’t disappointed when we received ours. I’ve tried cornhole boards in the past and they have been either too light and flimsy, or entirely too heavy and difficult to move around.  Our set was light enough to travel with and heavy enough to stay securely in place during play.

 

 

We requested a ETSU  set and Virginia Cornhole Boards came up with a unique design that turned out great. The quality of artwork is amazing and the durability of the boards and bags is spot on. The poly coating sometimes makes boards too slippery, but the ‘slide factor’ of these boards is just right. We also discovered that on past boards we used, when the bag was thrown and hit the board, it sounded like a gunshot was going off. When the bag hits these babies, it isn’t too loud and although we are in close quarters with our neighbors, disturbing them shouldn’t be an issue.

 

I HIGHLY recommend Virginia Cornhole Boards if you are considering a cornhole set purchase currently or in the near future. Be sure to Visit their facebook for pricing, options, testimonials and to view photos of boards they have created in the past.

 

 

One lucky winner will receive a custom tabletop cornhole board set ( you can pick from 9 colors for your beanbags too!)  from Virginia Cornhole Boards. This giveaway is open  to U.S. residents and will end on April 19,2013.  Please enter on the Rafflecopter below.

Origami Owl Review & Giveaway!

 

 

 

Have you ever heard of Origami Owl living lockets? In case you haven’t, let me tell you a little about them. In 2010, Origami Owl was created by Bella, a young (14 year old) entrepreneur. She wanted a way to earn money so she could purchase a car on her 16th birthday. Bella created a jewelry line called Origami Owl that offered living lockets that could be completely personalized.  She sold them by holding at-home parties. It was a success! From there, Origami Owl decided to reach their customers through a team of independent designers.

I had seen and heard a lot about Origami Owl  but I have never had the pleasure

 

of owning one.. I have to say I LOVE IT!! Jessica who is my Origami Owl designer now

 

offered me a beautiful living  locket, and one charm, to review  I was thrilled.

But they have a variety

 

of styles, and size to choose from. Then you tell  your STORY! It is so easy to open

 

and put in or take out whatever charms you want to tell your story with.

 

I  love the concept of telling your story through jewelry. I have already came up with a few

I have stories to tell ;).

 

As most of you know I have son with autism..

Easy Canvas Prints Review & Giveaway

Christmas is only  78 days away, which means it’s time to start working on your list, and as a Frugal Chick, it also means starting early when you find a deal to cross those gifts off your list. One of the best gifts is one from the heart, or personalized. This year we have had so  many wedding in our family, that photo gifts are the top of my list.  Easy Canvas Prints approached me about doing a review of their company and product, and of course I said yes.  Photos on canvas  are great gift, and a wonderful easy process. Here is the photo I decided to use...

The process of actually ordering the photo canvas, uploading the picture and selecting the type of wrap I wanted was super easy. I was done in just a few minutes. Easy Canvas Prints kept me informed via e-mail of what part of the process my canvas was in. Once it was completed and shipped they e-mailed me that too, to let me know, which I really appreciated as I was excited to see it.

I was happy with the quality of the canvas photo print. Here is a photo of the finished product via instagram. 

Needless to say, if you’re looking to get a Canvas Photo print as a Christmas gift for one of your family members, I would recommend checking out Easy Canvas Prints.  The entire process takes a few weeks, so this isn't a gift you can grab at the last minute.  You need to plan ahead…so while you’re thinking about it, head over and check out the pricing and products available!

Easy Canvas Prints

Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce Review And Giveaway

YUMMY! I love this sauce.. I have tried it on my steak, chicken, and fries now.

 Country Bob's

has been so grateful to donate two bottles to two of our readers..

(To enter the giveaway See Below)

A little background on Country Bob's:

In 1968 Country Bob perfected the sauce of his dreams. After years of giving the sauce to friends and family he began to sell it in 1977. The reaction was overwhelming just as it is today. Almost everyone who tries Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce becomes a lifelong user. And why not, it perfect complement to practically any meal set on your table.

It was actually October of 1982 when Country Bob, Inc. became the company, which remains today. Bob Edson, Terry Edson, Al Malekovic and Reed Malekovic formed a corporation with equal ownership. Since that time Country Bob's distribution has magnified regionally in all directions from our corporate office located in Centralia, Illinois. Even with the tremendous growth we have not forgotten where we came from, continuing in our relentless pursuit of product excellence.

Along with our All Purpose Sauce we have expanded our product line to include BBQ Sauce and Seasoning Salt as well as Apple Chipotle and Honey Habanero All Purpose Sauce. With our fully automated bottling line we also have the capability of producing Private Label products for stores or restaurants.

It would be nice if we could claim responsibility for the success of the company, however, credit must be given where credit is due. Proverbs 16:3 says, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." We have placed true ownership of Country Bob, Inc. in the hands of God. "Christ is our CEO" and He is an Awesome Boss!

After trying it as a sauce I decided to make it in a meatloaf, and see what it did for the meatloaf! OMG it was a winner!! Here is the recipe, so give it a try!
