I have been having a few computer problems recently and we finally got my laptop back tonight! That is great news because I have lots of reviews and a few giveaways to post. The other news is that my family and I will be on vacation until August 2nd and I will not be online. Upon my return, you can expect a very busy August for Shelly's Bits and Pieces.
Wishing you all a great next week and a half!

Saving Mr. Banks - New Trailer Released
Disclosure: No compensation of any type was received for this post. I received the information from Walt Disney Pictures Studio and wanted to pass it along!
Two-time Academy Award®–winner Emma Thompson and fellow double Oscar®-winner Tom Hanks topline Disney’s “Saving Mr. Banks,” inspired by the extraordinary, untold backstory of how Disney’s classic “Mary Poppins” made it to the screen.
When Walt Disney’s daughters begged him to make a movie of their favorite book, P.L. Travers’ “Mary Poppins,” he made them a promise—one that he didn’t realize would take 20 years to keep. In his quest to obtain the rights, Walt comes up against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention of letting her beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But, as the books stop selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to go to Los Angeles to hear Disney’s plans for the adaptation.
For those two short weeks in 1961, Walt Disney pulls out all the stops. Armed with imaginative storyboards and chirpy songs from the talented Sherman brothers, Walt launches an all-out onslaught on P.L. Travers, but the prickly author doesn’t budge. He soon begins to watch helplessly as Travers becomes increasingly immovable and the rights begin to move further away from his grasp.
It is only when he reaches into his own childhood that Walt discovers the truth about the ghosts that haunt her, and together they set Mary Poppins free to ultimately make one of the most endearing films in cinematic history.
Disney presents “Saving Mr. Banks,” directed by John Lee Hancock, produced by Alison Owen, Ian Collie and Philip Steuer, and written by Kelly Marcel and Sue Smith. Executive producers are Paul Trijbits, Andrew Mason, Troy Lum and Christine Langan. The film will release in U.S. theaters on December 13, 2013, limited, and open wide on December 20, 2013.

Today was yet another milestone for my teenage daughter! She started the driving portion of her Driver's Ed! She is a good driver already, because we have taken her out for practice at least 3-4 times a week. I'm excited for her, but I'm also a little sad for me! My baby is growing up.

Teespring.com Review
Disclosure: I will be compensated for posting this review, however, all opinions stated are honest and my own. Being compensated has no effect on my opinion, because if I don't believe in something I will not post about it!
Have you ever wanted to have a shirt made for a special occasion like a family reunion, birthday, graduation or anniversary? If you are like me, you have. I have done a lot of checking and the customized shirts can be quite expensive. Recently I found out about Teespring.com. You can create and sell customized t-shirts with no up front cost. You simply design your shirt and share the link. Your buyers pre-order their shirts from your campaign page. They choose the size so you don't have to order sizes you can't use.
It is very simple to do, and a wonderful idea. This would be great for someone holding a family reunion. All of the different family members could go on-line and order the size they want and they can either have it shipped to themselves, or save the shipping and have it sent to you.
I am involved in the Children's Church and this would be ideal for us. We checked around here and were quoted between $20-$26 per shirt. Teespring.com is much more reasonable and we would have no up front cost.
Next time you are thinking about making a custom t-shirt for something special, check out teespring.com! I think you will be pleasantly surprised!
