It is only just over a month until Valentines Day, so I have gathered together a few items that you might like to buy as a present for your loved one. Be sure not to forget, or you will end up in the dog house. Valentines Day also happens to be my Birthday, so that another good reason to go out and buy presents (Hint, hint, Jon). If you don't have a one special person, how about treating yourself and reminding yourself just how special you are.On Valentines day everyone wants to have a gorgeous What? It’s 2009 already?
My how time flies when you're having fun! It seems like just yesterday we were ringing in 2008. How did we get here so darn fast? One year ago, life was much different, that's for sure! I was not working, focused on school. Rich and I were entering the "comfortable" phase of our dating life. My kids were making plans for their respective flights from the nest. Rich was expecting his second grandson at any moment, and enjoying the heck out of his 1 year old first grandson.

Thanks everyone for responding to the last few posts that I have published in relation to the road sign. I have to agree with those of you who said that it did NOT explain what I was doing, I know it doesn’t but I also agree with those of you who said that it would stand out especially because of the colour!! My thinking at the moment is that I will make a second sign in complimentary colours and the text will read ‘Nicola Brown - felt’.

In honor of the season, I thought I’d make some quick notes on Mad Men and the gifts they bear. In a way, the entire story really begins on Christmas, with Anna and Don exchanging presents (Episode 12, The Mountain King). Don is grateful for the gift of his new identity and the life it has made possible. Later in the same episode, Betty gives Sally riding boots — interestingly, boots have the symbolic meaning of grounding us. In her father’s absence, Sally’s mother has turned into a wicked witcChristmas Dinner of the ‘08

When was the last time you splurged on a gift for yourself? Friday. I bought myself a beautiful aquamarine necklace at Lundstrum’s going out of business sale. It’s so pretty!

Have you ever sent yourself flowChristmas Day
Merry Christmas everyone! Although my post is a bit too late. We have about an hour and a half left before Christmas 2008 is just a memory. I hope that everyone had a wonderful day. The picture above was taken this morning. It's our dog enjoying playing in the wrapping paper like it was a huge pile of leaves. It took us FOREVER last night to bring the gifts for the kids up from the basement. They just would not stay in bed. They kept coming out of their room. We FINALLY were able to bring the giOh. My.

My MP3 player died a long, slow, painful death last month. Poor thing. I barely knew ye. So, I started downloading songs onto my phone and listening to them around the house, which drove Sparky (when he is home) crazy, because he likes to do things like watch television and hear the voices on the tv, not my music. ( giggle ) Imagine my surprise (well, ok, not really, but I was excited) when we went shopping on Christmas Eve and Sparky said “Pick out a color you want.” — pointing at the iPod Christmas Isn’t Here And I’m Already Making Valentines
I have two swaps coming up. One is for a Valentine Joujou charm exchange inspired by a workshop 10 of us took. We created a charm keeper jewelry, a necklace and a pair of earrings. The other exchange is an altered domino charm swap. The swap is not specifically for Valentines; however, I was thinking Valentines, so I made altered domino Valentine charms. I’ll give you a quick description of how I altered the dominoes. For the altered domino charm, I started out with wood dominoes. I drilled a hoChristmas Gift List (the final chapter, maybe)

By Rebecca Zerzan Here’s how some beloved traditions came about, including diamond engagement rings and the ubiquitous green-bean casserole. 1. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer The origin of Rudolph has nothing to do with Jesus or Santa. He sprang from the mind of Robert May, a copywriter for Chicago’s Montgomery Ward department store. May wrote and illustrated the poem (that later became the song) for the store’s holiday coloring book in 1939. But Rudolph’s fate was threatened when store exMuck Up Your Brain For The Holidays: 7 Sure-Fire Tips!

To be in tip top shape, the brain needs novel, new, and challenging experiences, so be sure and avoid them! A guaranteed technique?

So, at the stubborn persistence of one of my friends, and the kind encouragement of Kelly (which I think was the final push I needed) I’ve finally decided to share my story here on TLL. With my friend’s inspirational words, “Oh, seriously – do it. So long as you have something to say. Don’t just send blither-blather into the world.” I figured I do have something to say, and hopefully I will be able to construct it into something that amounts into more than “blither-blather.” Let me first make Christmas Meme
. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Both. I like gift bags because they're easy to carry and the giftee can reuse them, however I like wrapping paper for gifts underneath the tree. This year I made it a point to involve Missy in wrapping gifts, so we used more wrapping paper and didn't "bundle" gifts to the same person (so that Missy can wrap more presents). Real tree or Artificial? We have an artificial tree for practical purposes, although I love the smell of real trees. When do you put up the treThank YOU!!

Christmas Presents in Korea Christmas is relatively still a new holiday in Korea and it most Koreans do not go out and celebrate it with the same zeal as someone from Europe or America. Businesses have been trying to market the holidays as a major gift giving celebration time, but most Koreans have not taken the bait. The most common gift given among friends during Christmas are Christmas cards. You will see stores all over Korea selling these cards and they are relatively cheap- usually 800The Recap
