September 13 – October 28, Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO presents the National Crafts & Cowboy Festival, featuring some of the nation’s finest craftsmen and authentic cowboys. Over 125 visiting craftsmen from around the country demonstrate their art, including Best of Missouri Hands juried artists, all joining Silver Dollar City’s 100 demonstrating craftsmen.

The festival also features great entertainment, including a Wild West Show with trick riders, ropers, and a world-champion Native American Hoop dancer; Western music; a barn dance, and 125 visiting craftsmen. When you get hungry, the nation’s pioneer culinary heritage comes to life with campfire cooking and cowboy cuisine, including Cowboy Beef Stew and Dutch Oven Desserts, plus Chuck Wagon & Food Network Chef Kent Rollins and Extreme Mustangs are featured in the Red Gold courtyard.

This event draws approximately 300,000 visitors each year, and has been a tradition since 1963. This became the nation’s largest festival of demonstrating craftsmen. The focus on authentic craftsmanship was one of the reasons the U.S. Congress in 2010 proclaimed Silver Dollar City the “Home of American Craftsmanship.” In addition to craftsmen, Silver Dollar City added features with another American icon several years ago, the cowboy, to carry on the festival as The National Crafts & Cowboy Festival.

See Where You Come From with GPS Origins DNA Testing

This post may contain affiliate links, including Amazon.  Please visit our Privacy Policy and Disclosures.

Couponista Queen was compensated for this post.

 

Have you ever wanted to take a DNA test to learn about your ancestry?

I recently took a DNA test through GPS Origins (Geographic Population Structure) which is a new ancestry DNA test that will take you deep into your ancestral history and wow!  Typically, DNA ancestry tests will offer to provide a report of your ‘ethnicity’ and identify continents in which your DNA can be located, but that is about it.  DNA test do not traditionally get very specific.  Oftentimes, you won’t even know the country from which your ancestors were from.  The great thing about the GPS ancestry test is that it combines the newest and best research in genetics with new tracking techniques that enable you to pinpoint more precisely where your DNA started.   The GPS Origins test indicates the town or village where groups of your ancestors from different cultures met – building a vibrant picture of the migration journeys that formed your deep genealogical heritage.  How great is that?  It is amazing to me that we can delve so deep into these things now!  It is truly amazing where technology has taken us, is it not?

So what were my results?  

I have to say, based on what little I DO know about my family lineage, these results were totally correct for my father’s side.  However, on my mother’s side, I know for a fact that I have Native American blood 2 generations back in a direct line, yet there was no mention of it in the test results.  That being said, I was very interested to learn of my Nordic heritage!  My ancestors were Vikings and explorers.

Save $10 on your DNA test

If you have been thinking about taking an ancestry type DNA test, GPS Origins is a great resource.  Plus, they are currently offering promo codes via their website so that you can save up to $10 on an Ancestry DNA test.   They even offer an Ancestry Report for those that have already had their DNA Testing done elsewhere, so you can learn even more!  This would make a GREAT gift.  In fact, my husband wants one of these for himself.

Once you submit the DNA testing, you should receive your results in just a matter of weeks.  In case you were expecting otherwise, you may find that you are surprised by the results as they seem to be extremely accurate.   With these results, you can find yourself with a sense of connection to the past as you will no longer have to wonder about your heritage.  You can see where they started and how your ancestry line got to where it is now.  It is really fascinating to read, and it sparked a sense of completeness to know my family journey.  It is very cool and educational and I would highly recommend this.

Once you receive your results, you can actually download them as a .pdf from the GPS Origins website (www.gpsorigins.com), so that you may keep them safely stored for future use.

The 3D Deco Lights are comforting, cordless, decorative night lights that are loved by tiny customers and big ones alike.  My little one likes to have a night light on for sleeping, and she doesn’t like plain jane night lights.  It MUST have style!  I ordered my daughter the My Little Pony Rainbow Dash 3D Deco Light for a birthday gift.  She was excited to use it that very night — good thing it was so easy to install!  One wall sticker plus one screw and it was done in just a few minutes.  She loves it, and I love that it turns itself off after 60 minutes and it stays cool to the touch.

3DLIGHTFX 3D Deco Lights are the perfect gift this holiday season. They have a full range of comic book, super hero, Disney Princess, sports and car lights.  These all include a sticker with cracks to make the lights look as though they are popping right out of the wall! They are battery operated and cool to the touch, so you can place them any where in a room.  Your kids will love having these in their rooms, and they’re also the perfect additions to a den, family room, man cave or office!

Growing up by train tracks, I have a life long love of trains.  I spent hours watching them roll by!  Now, I have a 3-year-old, and I have been looking for a train set for her this Christmas. I found what I was looking for at The Whittle Shortline Railroad.  I am excited that the company is local to me, and proudly made in the USA!  I am thrilled to introduce my little one to the fun of trains with The Whittle Shortline Railroad.  I chose the Union Pacific train set because a neighbor we had growing up retired from there, and his house was filled with memorabilia., and he was filled with stories!  RIP, Ralph!  Good to remember you!

The Whittle Shortline Railroad is a family owned, 20 year old, wooden toy train company.  They hand craft realistic toy trains that are compatible with Thomas, Brio and Chuggington sets and tracks.  The toy trains are modeled after real trains you would see in your neighborhood.   As a part of their 20th anniversary, they released over 20 new trains in August of 2016.  In December 2016 they will begin a program of releasing a new train each month, expanding their offering to trains from around the world!  Visit their website right now to watch video’s and learn more!

smitco-jewelry-box

I needed a gift for a stylish tween, and I found the perfect thing!  This tres chic and still cute as can be Diva Theme Musical Jewelry Box!  This is a musical jewelry box, but instead of the traditional dancing ballerina, this box comes with a crown for the diva!  It plays the traditional “Music Box Dancer” which brings back fond memories of the jewelry box I had as a girl.  It is well made and the right size for holding special trinkets and jewels (not included, those belong to MY little diva), and the design itself is perfect to bring a pop of fun sophistication to her room.

SmitCo also has several different diaries with lock and keys and diary sets for girls, as well as several different temporary tattoos sets to provide hours of fun. A huge hit now is the Emoji themed nail art sets – they have a larger and smaller set and both are equally popular.  All these items are packed in quality packaging, ready to wrap and pop under the tree!

Clean Chemical Free! Norwex makes a GREAT gift

norwex-gifts

Norwex is a great company to check out!  I LOVE the idea of zero chemicals in my cleaning products.  Who knew I could clean my house with just water??  See what this great consultant has to say…

Hi I am Layne Gross and I am a consultant with Norwex, a company devoted to radically reducing chemicals in your home, body and the environment. In January 2016 I found out that I have the MTHFR gene mutation. If you don’t know what that is, no worries, I didn’t know either. It is a blood clotting disorder, but it also makes the person not be able to get rid of toxins from the body. I immediately quit smoking cigarettes and started eating organic foods. The more research I did I found out just how many chemicals there are in everything in our daily lives that we don’t think about. Cleaning products was one I never knew there was a safe alternative to. My friend introduced me to Norwex and I fell in love with everything I tried. You can clean your whole house with ones of our Microfiber EnviroCloths, a Window Cloth, Dusting Mitt and WATER. I’ll repeat, I clean my house with a rag and water. No harmful chemicals! No more paper towels, 409, or glass cleaner in my home!  I have a toddler so this is REALLY important to me. Our EnviroCloth is special because it can pick up 99% of EVERYTHING off the surface with just water! The EnviroCloth is self-purifying with Baclock and doesn’t have to be washed with every use, just rinse with hot water and hang to dry.

If you are looking to lessen your exposure to chemicals, Norwex is a company to check out! My website is www.LayneGross.Norwex.biz. If you have any questions please feel free to Call me at (573) 220-4008. I will be sending a free gift with purchases of $100 dollars or more before tax and shipping.
