'Tis the two weeks of Christmas Break and boredom has officially set in- and we shave less than a week to go until school is back in session. What will I do with the 5 days remaining to keep my sanity in tact besides eat? What will these kids of mine do besides eat, play video games, watch TV, and drive me insane?
Thanks to AtmosFlare™ 3D DRAWING PEN by RedwoodVentures LTD, LLC., who is paying us to test out their latest product before it hits the shelves in January, I can add another activity to our break. Yippee!!
Take a look at the flower pot that Miss K made using the AtmosFlare™ 3D DRAWING PEN.
You may recall last month, I was paid to play with their I DO 3D product. See our review of it here. Honestly, we like the AtomoFlare 3D Pen, so much better. It's more precise and cures while being used versus drawing and then curing. And, being able to draw and sculpt in mid-air is amazing!! Take a look at the following video.
Since we are in testing mode, our pen came in a brown box with the following items:
Pen (1)
Ink Cartridges (2, blue and red)
Ink Tips (4)
Cap (1)
Miss K loves making craft videos-I think she is contemplating becoming a YouTube sensation, so I let her make one of the AtmosFlare™3D Drawing Pen for this post, keep in mind she and I are still not experts on 3D pen art, but we are having fun trying and learning.
AtmosFlare™ Pro Tips:
Start squeezing before you turn on the light. It helps to keep the nozzle free from initial buildup.
Ink your base/attachment point first then turn on the light. Otherwise the ink may not stick or simply pull right off.
Shining the pen on a bright surface will cure what is already inside the nozzle. The reflection of the light cures the inside
of the nozzle and can block it.
When the nozzle is clogged, remove the nozzle then clean/clear the nozzle with a paperclip. If you leave the nozzle
attached to the resin bladder when cleaning the obstruction will just get squeezed back in to the nozzle.
Try to store the pen upright while in frequent use so the ink stays a the tip. Otherwise you will have to shake the pen or
squeeze through the air pockets which might distort your line.
Your battery will last about 4 hours. When it’s time to change your battery, the lighted “M” emblem will alert you by flashing three times.
You might see moisture vapor near the tip of your pen as you draw. This is a harmless, odorless result of the 3D ink curing as excess moisture evaporates.
Safety:
Avoid looking directly at the spotlight, and don't point the spotlight at your eyes or the eyes of anyone else.
Place cap on drawing tip after use. AtmosFlare™ works best if used and stored at room temperature, (between 60 and 80 degrees fahrenheit, 15 to 27 degrees celsius.)
For the best results, draw directly on the supplied plastic sheet and accessory shapes. This keeps your drawing surface clean and neat. (We were not supplied these sheets, but instead improvised with parchment paper and our supplies from the IDO3D review)
Wash hands well with soap and water after use.
Do not place ink in mouth or ingest. In case any ink enters your eyes, wash with plenty amount of water. If you experience any unexpected allergic reaction, consult a doctor.
Product performs best if used within 12 months after manufacturing (manufacture date is printed on pen).
Our system does not use heat to assist in the curing process, but heat is generated for about 5 seconds during the curing process. Do not apply ink to skin under direct light or sunlight as it may cause skin irritation or burns. If ink is applied to skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
Adult supervision is required. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of 3D ink.
Keep pen/ink away from pets.
Results vary depending on level of skill.
For information regarding allergic concerns, please call our Customer Service 1(855) 876-8124
Troubleshooting
If material cured in pen tip. Remove pen tip and unclog the
cured material.
Replace new battery when curing time is up to 1 minutes.
To Clean
Wash with soap and warm water.
Use an alcohol based hand sanitizer to help remove sticky
residue from hands.
Be sure to follow AtmosFlare™ at the following links and be one of the first to own this amazing 3D drawing pen.
I will say, be sure to save ALL pieces to this pen. We made the mistake of throwing away the original tops to the ink- big mistake. If the ink inside the tip wasn't hardened, it kind of poured out a little.

Oh what FUN it was to drive a 2015 Toyota Sienna for a week. I totally cried watching it leave my driveway this morning. This past week I was provided a 2015 Toyota Sienna LTD to drive and a gift card. Everything in this post is my own opinion, and I am TOTALLY responsible if you go out and buy yourself one for Christmas or if YOU WIN 1 of 3 Visa Gift Cards at the bottom of this post courtesy of Toyota!!
Leather interior. Oh the sweet sweet smell of leather and not a basketball sweat cloth interior. Yes, I speak from experience.
The room. Can you see that sliding track for the second row seating? My 6'2" son sat back there and up front without touching his sister or the dashboard.
The room in that second row is amazing. I fit THREE car seats very comfortably back there. So for growing families, grandparents, or someone like me who just loves babies in car seats...I love this car. In the 2015 Toyota Sienna, safety comes first. With an advanced airbag system and LATCH anchors for your child seats, you can be confident that the most precious cargo is protected.
Space. Sweet space. Do you see all of those groceries? My husband thinks I spent $ just to see if I could fill up all the room in this Sienna. Of course he is wrong. I have Christmas presents, two kids home for two weeks, and even him home for a week. Maybe I should have filled this minivan to capacity. I really like the sunken storage, my bottles of pop don't roll around!
Ha! These two were very impressed with the dual HD DVD system. I was impressed because I could give them the wireless headphones and tune into Country Christmas on SiriusXM radio and even some 90's on 9- oh the memories.
The 2015 Toyota Sienna has Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. Sorry, no pictures available for this, you are just going to have to trust me on this awesome driving feature. No texting or picture taking while driving!! The navigation was so so easy to use. We attended a Nutcracker wrap-up party for my daughter on Saturday. Even though I knew where we were going.
Did I mention how much I love the hands free calling? I did. I think everyone on my favorites list received at least 3 phones calls from me. The Entune multimedia, and in-steering wheel controls make the 2015 Toyota Sienna comfortable and convenient.
Here is the full list of Toyota Sienna Limited Features from the Toyota website:
Entune™ Premium JBL® Audio with Navigation and App Suite which includes the Entune™ Multimedia Bundle (7” high-resolution touch-screen with split-screen display, ten JBL® speakers including subwoofer), Driver Easy Speak, Entune® App Suite, HD Radio™, AM/FM Cache Radio, Gracenote® Album Cover Art, HD Predictive Traffic and Doppler Weather Overlay, Dual Power Moonroof, 18” Alloy Wheels, Auto-Dimming Side Mirrors with Puddle Lights and Reverse Tilt-Down and Memory Features, Premium Leatherette-Trimmed Power 60/40 Split & Stow 3rd Row™, Heated Steering Wheel, LED Daytime Running Lights, Premium Leather-Trimmed Front Seats, Removable Premium Leather-Trimmed Second-Row Lounge Seat Captain's Chairs, Metallic Front Grille with SuperChrome Surround, and Seating for Seven.
MSRP starts at $41,650 for the new 2015 Toyota Sienna Limited.
