Where have I been???Yes, it has been quite awhile since I posted. I just got caught up in a whirlwind of home remodel. We took everything out of the basement; ripped out the carpet; got rid of so many 'valuable items' that I have been saving. Yes, I did take pictures and will be posting some soon. <br />
<br />
We redid the bathroom; made a lovely storage room; redid the guest room; and ended up making a roomy Man Cave. Imagine that!?! <br />
<br />
Still doing more remodel upstairs now and will hopefully be finished with that soon. I will walk you through the process. I have been trying to get douched out and reorganized!! Eek!<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/kristensteinfineart?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">Kristen Stein Fine Art</a> has some tremendous pieces of work she has made into various treasures. I love to pick up her calenders when she has them in stock, but check out these great mirrors, what a special treat to slip in the stocking.<br />

I stopped by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/GrandmasCraftGarden?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">Grandma's Craft Garden</a> and fell in love with these candy cane dish towels (hey, I grew up calling them tea towels, anyone else??). You can have their name on the towels! How cool is that??<br />

Whether it is a new home or a more established one, we all need fresh tea towels. Heh, heh, heh, worked that in now, didn't I??<br />

Oh, I mustn't leave out all our little pets, especially since I have four grandcats, one granddog, and one grandbird; no, you didn't see any human babies mentioned here, but what's a momma to say?

Never, never, never let a stocking slip by without some jewelry stashed in the bottom!! It is a must!<br />

You want something nice, but depending on the size of the stocking the cost could add up dramatically. Let me help you with some great ideas!!<br />

So many workers must wear a badge, key card, or ID of some sort; but let's make sure they do it with style!<br />

Here's a great little recycle, reuse, re-purpose piece for those 'Green' thinkers--utilizing vintage material and a vintage earring to make this little reel badge holder a treasure to wear to work. This was found at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/KadysPetCouture?section_id=10148849" target="_blank">Kady's Pet Couture</a>. This gives you a chance to match the person with their pet's collar!!<br />

I found these great sprays from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ShantiAromatherapy?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">ShantiAromatherapy</a> and I know some will think it funny, but if you have ever had hot flashes you will treasure this bottle. Also, I'm thinking it would be good to take on those holidays to Florida, Mexico, Alabama, or wherever it is hot and stifling at times. Just a spritz. What a welcome gift this will be!!<br />

Great idea for those little cards we need to carry with us and we just don't want to take a purse with us to the library, or wherever we may be heading.

Well, I must admit that I had heard snippets about it, but didn't really check in to it since I <span style="font-size: large;"><i>thought </i>I wasn't in to that kind of stuff. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">My cousin, Pammie's daughter, Alicia and her f<span style="font-size: large;">i<span style="font-size: large;">ance, Joel</span></span>, are not only in to it, but they are an avid comic couple. They actually have the artistic talent to draw and write their own comic adventures. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">So when they decided on their wedding<span style="font-size: large;"> reception date, they also de<span style="font-size: large;">cided to embrace the entire comic con theme. Hmmmmm, okay, I say (being the hip cousin that I am), I can make your wedding jewelry around this theme. </span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Luckily, <span style="font-size: large;">Alicia had decided on Lime Green and Purple as her primar<span style="font-size: large;">y colors for the big day. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">She picked out a strapless, tea length<span style="font-size: large;">, white gown and wanted a lime green sash for it. No problem, I can do this. I<span style="font-size: large;"> have been making sashes for other brides in the traditional ivory and white, so this should be a snap, right? </span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Honestly, I found all the supplies I wanted/needed and started to design. <span style="font-size: large;">I needed to keep her age in mind and her choice of theme. Anyone who knows me would understand she had me when she mention<span style="font-size: large;">ed</span> 'Star Wars</span>' since <span style="font-size: large;">it i<span style="font-size: large;">s one of my fav<span style="font-size: large;">orite movies and I probably have the lines memorized I have seen it so many times.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I came up with the sash utilizing a method of melting satin and creat<span style="font-size: large;">ing some flowers to tie everything together. Let me know what you think.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

The years drift by and we continue to say we will get together, but we never find the time. Life has a habit of getting in the way. My Mother and her two sisters got together again for the first time since 1998! Now, I know that seems atrocious to many, but they were miles apart and had ailing family to care for among the myriad reasons for just staying home.<br />
<br />
Finally, my cousins, Cindy and Julie, in Kansas drove Aunt Lorene out to Canon City, Colorado to Aunt Clella's house. My mom was in town from Oklahoma so we made the trip down to Canon as well so the three could be together again.<br />

We left those three alone at Aunt Clella's house while the cousins spent a great time together at our Canon City cousin's house, Pammie--oh, pardon me, Pam. Pam has a very cool job working at the Royal Gorge bridge and arranged for us to spend a day at the gorge. Oy vey!!!!! What were they thinking??? Should human beings really build something that high?? And I found out that it is the HIGHEST suspension bridge in the WORLD!! Remember that Jimmy Stewart movie, Vertigo??? I can relate. Here's a shot of the tiny train in the gorge from the top. Really?<br />

We rode a tiny train that we found on the way up the canyon to the bridge and decided we better ride it--seemed like a tourist thing. We rode it for 30 minutes and it stopped out on an overlook for brave people to get out to look around and perhaps take a photo or two. Nope, you won't find any of those photos here. That's right, I got out, walked to the edge and promptly returned to my seat. No way, not my cup of tea.<br />

Here we are on the actual suspension bridge--did I mention the HIGHEST in the world?? And the nut wanted her picture taken by the Kansas flag WITH her two little dogs!! Come on, can we possible be from the same gene pool?? This girl is nuts! Of course, I was on a golf cart with a death grip on the wheel smack in the <u>middle</u> of the bridge (sorry folks, you can't pass now) saying get back on we are going.<br />

Sunday we took a ride on that tiny little train we saw and found out it was really a big train. We took the lunch tour from the Vista Dome car and I must admit that it was spectacular!! The views were awesome and well worth your time; plus it just seemed much safer to be at the bottom already!<br />

Here's a shot of the bridge from below. See, much safer, don't you think?? Colorado has some gorgeous country and I will admit that this was such a fun trip for all of us.<br />
<br />
Just wait until I show you the shower pictures. Pammie's daughter, Alicia, is getting married so we were able to attend her bridal shower. I'll show you some of those later.<br />
<br />
Take some much needed time to spend with your family and friends. After all, that is what is truly important to us, isn't it?<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we pack to head to Key West, Florida to spend a week with our girls, Shilo and Tara!! Can't wait!<br />

Usually, that is okay with us, but now Mother's Day is approaching and dang it, we don't have anyone to cook for us to celebrate our big day!! That is just WRONG!! Or so we see it in our eyes . . . no, we don't want to go out to eat--we like staying home and having some home cooked (with love) food. Hmmmm, there are always pros and cons to the "Empty Nest" that we keep finding.<br />
<br />
Now that I have gotten that off my chest I want to present some new chiffon silk scarves to you for ideas for your mothers. Now these are special so I only have one of each, but I think they turned out great!<br />

This one is so rich that there is no way to get a good picture of it; it is a must see in person. The colors are unique and will go with a variety of options, but I keep going back to a pristine white outfit, some layers of chains, and this scarf. Perfection!<br />

Anyone who knows me will not be surprised by this scarf since I am so totally in love with animal prints. I refuse to give them up and will be the little old lady in animal print and bling at the home when that time comes. Imagine this with a khaki outfit; oh I know there are plenty of others, but I am stuck on that khaki or perhaps a cream for this season.<br />

I think I may need to hear from the rest of you on some easy organization tips to help prepare for this onslaught of receipts and paperwork.<br />
<br />
So, if you have an easier way to control this misery, I am all ears!! Well, not literally, my ears aren't really that big--other parts, perhaps--but not my ears. <br />
<br />
My husband has his own business and his idea of keeping receipts for me is using plastic baggies filled with all kinds of receipts--this time I am being literal--ALL kinds!! <br />
<br />
Of course, my procrastination does not help me one iota since I wait to the bitter end to do this. Those of you who know me truly know I ALWAYS file an extension because of this issue. This year I really didn't want to file another extension. I thought I might catch the IRS off guard and surprise them with my return. I imagine they won't be taking bets on this happening, but I like to think I am that important to them.<br />
<br />
Come on, everyone, give me some tips on better organization throughout the year to alleviate this paper nightmare!!! HELP!!! I am drowning in it!!! (Not being literal here.)<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">One of the big events is coloring Easter eggs in many ways, shapes and forms. Years ago my mother-in-law had me boil the eggs with the skins from yellow onions. The eggs turned the most gorgeous shade of bronze. What an ingenious way to color some eggs without spending tons of money.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I remember my brother and I would color our eggs with the little package of colors from the store. We would write on them with the wax crayon and dip. Then when they were dry we used the little transfers that came with the package. Totally not a Martha Stewart display, but we were very proud of our eggs.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Of course, we all would receive new outfits for Easter Sunday with little hats and gloves! Does everyone still do this? I know when my girls were home we did. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Then after church we had a great lunch and the ever popular Easter Egg Hunt!! We live in Colorado so it never failed that the weather was cold for the hunt. All the old pictures have cute little dresses hanging out of the winter coats! Dang! Well, it is still a memory.</span></span><br />

Unfortunately, sooner or later we must start saying goodbye to people who are special in our lives. My husband's mother passed away on March 15th after a brief illness. Since my husband and I have been together since high school, I have known his mother for many years. No, I'm not saying 'how long' what are you thinking??<br />
<br />
My dad passed 18 months ago and I was in a proverbial fog during the entire time. My mind told me to 'just deal with it and feel sorry for yourself later' and so I did. My husband supported me as best he could, although he felt he was dealing with the loss of one of his best friends. Now it was my turn to reciprocate. <br />
<br />
My husband was quite strong, but we soon learned that it was now time for us to grow up and take on the adult role. His stepfather is 80 and was not dealing well with this turn of events. His sister has a brain injury and had her own issues dealing with the loss of the one person that has always taken care of her in every situation. So, here we are . . . on the threshold of growing up and being responsible.<br />
<br />
We handled the meetings for the funeral and all the steps necessary for dealing with this final farewell. Mary had lost so much weight that the best decision on clothing was to shop for a brand new dress for her debut into the hereafter. We found a lovely silver white dress with purples and blues artistically placed on the dress. Since it was a sleeveless, we added a pretty hand painted silk shawl in the matching purples and blues. Nice warm and soft socks to ensure comfort for the ride; matching nail polish; and special jewelry given to her by her daughter as a Mother's Day gift in past years and she was ready.<br />
<br />
The entire family spent time going through old photos to find the perfect pairing of fun and style to showcase her life in a slideshow for the final farewell. Meet with the minister to discuss music, scripture, and whittle down 84 years of a spirited life for a one hour service. <br />
<br />
Mary was a member of the Women's Auxiliary of the V.F.W., so we turned to those ladies for the get together after the services. The ladies jumped in to prepare a nice spread of food; supplemented by our many friends and family, and we had a deluxe afternoon of eating and remembering the fun times with Mary.<br />
<br />
As I looked around the crowd I noticed some of the older aunts and uncles present (one aunt is 97) and I knew it was only a matter of time until we would be meeting like this again. Why is it so many families only come together at these sorrowful times? Why don't we take a little time out of our busy lives to make time for the family while they are still with us to enjoy our time together? <br />
<br />
We left that day resolving to stop to see the aunts and uncles, if only for a cup of coffee and some fun memories, and I honestly hope we will make the time necessary to enjoy each other while we still can.<br />
<br />
I believe we sent Mary off to her next transition with grace and style. I know she would be proud of her family and the honor they had for her.<br />
<br />
Now we need to continue with the healing process and keep trying to be the adults (oy, I took my mom and dad for granted all this time). We must take time to be with family and friends more often. And finally, we must say farewell for now to a special lady in our lives and remember the love she gave us.

Stephanie Plum and her wacky family years ago; I have totally fallen in love
with each and every member of this Trenton group. I tend to bond most
with Lula, but that's a given with her taste in clothes, style and food.
I was delighted to learn that a movie had finally been made about this zany
group, although I was a bit of a concern about Katherine Heigl being in the
star role. I just couldn't see it, but I kept an open mind.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> My friends, Sandy and
Carrie, and I have always made a point to have a girl's day out to include
lunch and a movie. Some days it is a movie marathon when we attend two
movies (heck, if we are out and playing, why not?). We generally take
turns choosing the movie, but try to make sure it is a good one with a light
note. Sometimes we have a bust (I won't point any fingers, but I will
just mention Intolerable Cruelties out of the corner of my mouth) and then the
person who chose it will NEVER hear the end of it. The three of us are
all Janet Evanovich fans and eagerly await the latest Stephanie Plum novel so
the movie, One for the Money, was a given.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> We had a lovely lunch at
Olive Garden, all choosing the soup, salad and bread option, gotta keep it
light so there is room for popcorn and Junior Mints when we get to the
show. Then we were off and running to get there in plenty of time to find
a seat.<span> </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since it was a week day and a
matinee we didn't even have to play the 'senior' card to get a discount,
although not all of us are able to do that even when it is an option--some out
of sheer vanity and others for lack of chronological years.<span> </span>We pick up our popcorn and beverages and
scurry in.<span> </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I must digress here to let
you know about our inside joke about me buying my water.<span> </span>I ordered a bottle of water at one of these
movies and threw down my dollar to pay, when the cashier told me $4.75.<span> </span>I gasped, with eyes wide and dry mouth
hanging open, saying $4.75!?<span> </span>The cashier
promptly informed me that it was the ‘largest’ bottle of water in town.<span> </span>Since then, I go with more money and an empty
bladder.<span> </span>Sheesh, what are they thinking?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Luckily, our seats are
available and it appears we are going to have a private viewing, which is
perfect since we love to laugh out loud.<span> </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Katherine surprises us in her
adept recreation of Stephanie.<span> </span>She is
able to play her with just the right amount of spunk and humor we have come to
know and love.<span> </span>I believe she has quelled
her movie jinx with this hit.<span> </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Debbie Reynolds is in the
role of Grandma Mazur and is perfect at hitting the quirkiness of this all
important part.<span> </span>Sherri Shepard assumes
the wildly dressed and hungry Lula with great abandon.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I won’t ruin the movie for
you, but will say it is well worth the time to see it.<span> </span>I actually believe this one may be worth
buying and adding to your library of fun at home.</span></div>

Good question. All I knew is it has something to do with Fat Tuesday--whenever that is . . . </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So I did a little discovery and found it is NOWWWWW!! Gosh, next Tuesday is Fat Tuesday and that is the end of the Carnival season. Fat Tuesday always falls the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Now, I'm starting to put the pieces together a little. Here's exactly how it is described in the offical Mardi Gras site:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: small;">Don't confuse Carnival and Mardi Gras! Carnival refers to the period of
feasting and fun which always begins on January 6th, The Feast of the
Epiphany. Mardi Gras refers to Fat Tuesday, the final day of revelry
before Ash Wednesday, when Lent begins.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">They publish a parade schedule and it looks like there are non-stop parades and celebrations going on in the fair city of New Orleans.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">According to the published info, Mardi Gras was first held by the Krewe of Comus on February 24, 1857. The King of Carnival in 1892 was Rex and he selected the official Mardi Gras colors of purple, gold and green. Purple stands for justice, gold for power, and green for faith.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">They would have the feasting, parades, and a ball to celebrate this special time of the year.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There is so much more to learn about Mardi Gras and you can read all about it at <a href="http://www.mardigrasneworleans.com/" target="_blank">www.mardigrasneworleans.com</a></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">What do you get a sixteen year old with a vivid imagination? One who is an avid reader?? One who is compassionate and empathetic to other people's trials and tribulations? One of my favorite shop model's birthday was fast approaching and my mind was filled with ideas, but what would SHE like?? It actually has been awhile since I was sixteen, but I know some of the fun of the birthday is the element of surprise. So, with that in mind, I made a decision. A Harry Potter Potion's box--what else?!?!?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Clutching my precious bottles and treasures in hand I went to my friend's studio (Kathy Kaberline of KK Originals) for some fun in creating. If I can't think of something, trust me, she can. We took a couple days off from our usual art work to get to work on this latest project. Wow! Did we have FUN!!! Okay, so I have discovered it really doesn't matter what your age may be, we still like to paint and get our hands dirty.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We both donned our aprons (just to make us feel a little grown up) and we got started. We set out the bare little wood box and studied it. I had an idea in my head about how I wanted the end result so we discussed the possibilities and went to work. Now, you need to understand that it is ALWAYS best to try these new and creative things in Kathy's studio because she has always been an avid crafter and collector--so, her studio is like being locked up over night in Michael's or Hobby Lobby. Whatever you need, she has, trust me.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> I really should have taken pictures along the way to show our progress, but my hands were way too dirty to actually touch my camera. So, you can hear about it, but not see it. Sorry!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We sprayed all kinds of colors and all types of sparkle on this plain little wooden box. Then we let it dry while we crumpled paper, then painted it, then dried it, then ironed it, and voila! a cover was born. I did use the computer to make the labels so I would have the original Harry Potter print to make it more realistic.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But really, we couldn't just use plain paper for our labels--so we tore our labels out in some fun shapes, then we distressed them, sprayed them, sparkled them, and smudged them to create an old and worn look.</span></div>

Here's a little sample of the bottles and how they looked when I packed them for shipping. I tried to stick little pieces of cardboard between them so they wouldn't break en-route. <br />

The green paint on the top was still wet when I added a little salt to make it disperse the way it did. I thought it looked like a dragon when finished. The little lizard next to it has a little dragon's egg under his chin.<br />

This is the lid with Hedwig's feather and some pictures of the gang in potion's class, as well as, Hermione making the famous polyjuice potion in the girl's bathroom.<br />

We crumbled paper, then pressed it, then painted it, then; well, you get the picture; to make her a journal for her potion recipes or for notes in class. <br />

I got a terrible frog in my throat and he wouldn't get out. I coughed and sprayed and gargled--the whole gambit, but the slimy little creature stuck around through Christmas!! <br />
<br />
So, needless to say, we had a very relaxing holiday week at our house. Eating chicken noodle soup, watching movies, and just enjoying the peaceful holiday. I want you to know the frog hopped out while I was sleeping and unfortunately for my dear hubbie, it jumped into his throat, hmmmm, well, I was taught to share.<br />
<br />
Why don't we just move on to our New Year 2012!! Wow!! How did it get here so quickly? And I refuse to do resolutions each new year because they all start out the same and end up exactly the same. This year I'm planning to stay FOCUSED and trying to create some new pretties along the way . . . oh, look how pretty this is . . . it sparkles . . . <br />

I hope you mailed your gifts today that need to get to parts unknown. Now that you have that out of the way, let's finish wrapping everything that you will need for this weekend. <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Make a list of people who you want to remember with a little something. </li>
<li>Check your stash to ensure you have something for each person on this list.</li>
<li> Make a list of voids in your list; i.e., a name on the list, but nothing in the stash.</li>
<li>You know what you have to do next -- run to the store to pick up last minute items.</li>
<li>Hopefully, you have enough energy to finish your wrapping when you get home.</li>
</ul>
Now, don't stress too much, you can finish the wrapping tomorrow if need be. But be sure you have everything together when you are ready to wrap. <br />
<ol>
<li> Tissue Paper</li>
<li>Wrapping Paper</li>
<li>Tape</li>
<li>Scissors</li>
<li>Ribbon and/or bows</li>
<li>Tags (you can make your own on the computer) & pen</li>
<li>Any decorative items you like to tie on the package for a little flair</li>
<li>Gift bags are always fun and easy!</li>
</ol>
Okay, get to work. Don't forget when you are finished to store everything in one location for future use. I have one of those large plastic tubs that holds everything. When I finish I put it all back and it goes downstairs on the shelf until I need it again. Yes, I even put a pair of scissors in there. They aren't that expensive any more and you will be glad to have them right where you need them.<br />
<br />
Remember, just four more days to go so don't dilly dally now. Once you are finished, then you can have that coveted movie or book day!<br />
<br />
Leave a comment if you have some other great ideas for us.<br />

I do hope you have been getting your wrapping finished. Okay, I know that I have some wishful thinking going on here when many of you haven't even finished shopping. Let's be honest, some of my friends are just getting started with their shopping. If you are in that same boat, then let me help you with a few last minute ideas from the handmade shops on Etsy. I have perused the Etsytwitter Team shops today to look for some goodies.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To start out I found this very cool little pendant (since I am an avid Potter fan, I couldn't pass this one up) in the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/prettywhimsical" target="_blank">Pretty Whimsical</a> shop. Perfect for any of those teen/tween girls on that long list.<span id="goog_257158152"></span><span id="goog_257158153"></span> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Now what about that co-worker?? I found this adorable desk calendar from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/maddesign" target="_blank">Maddesign</a> and I believe it would be the perfect gift for that person who has everything. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> I found some adorable little lollipop ornaments in the shop called <a href="http://www.fromnancysheart.etsy.com/" target="_blank">From Nancy's Heart</a>.

<span style="font-size: large;">Look at these great Lavender Rose lip balms from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/AquarianBath" target="_blank">Aquarian Bath</a>. These would be super great stocking stuffers for that special morning or how about giving to your mail person, your pet groomer, your most important hair dresser, your massage therapist (yes, some people have a regular), or even your neighbor.</span><br />

I now have a few hand painted silk ponchos that I absolutely LOVE!!! Anyone who knows me will testify that I love to wear the silk ponchos or ruanas everywhere I go!! I feel so pretty! Oh so Pretty! Oops, sorry, I was starting to sing. Here are two of the new ponchos; one in the Over the Rainbow color that has been so popular in the scarves and one Magnolia red and black poncho that will take a relaxed little black dress or black pant suit from day to a nice evening on the town!<br />
<br />
Stop by to pick up a few for your holidays. I promise to gift wrap AND you will have it in time for Christmas if you live in the United States. Sorry, can't make that promise for the International orders, but the USPS can't control the shipping when it leaves the states.<br />
<br />
I'll be checking in with you again before the big festivities begin.<br />

For those who celebrate the holidays it is a busy and hectic time. I, for one, do not have a clue if I have everything ready for the big day. I have been so busy working on items in my shop that I haven't really had time to worry about it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I generally purchase goodies all year long so that I am fairly ready when the time comes, both financially and time wise! I remember when I used to get off work early on Christmas Eve and would run to the mall to finish my shopping. Oy vey! One year the electricity went out just when I gave my pile of gifts to the check out lady. Not good at all. Those were the days when they knew their customers and trusted them. She wrote it all down and said not to worry--so off I ran to do the wrap job and get the girls ready to go to Grandpa and Grandma's house.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Christmas Eve was always a special time with Grandpa and Grandma. The house was decorated and holiday music was playing. We always had a pot of chili and one of oyster stew (nope, I didn't even think of trying that one). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Grandma would put out all kinds of veggies, dips, cheese balls, crackers, sliced summer sausage, etc. It was definitely a party!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then she always had platters of home-made candies. Hmmm, starting to understand the weight issue now.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, this year my family is all far from here and I need to ship my precious cargo to each one so they will have their stash in time for their own holiday festivities. You know I can't wait until the last minute now. I am wrapping and trying to get things together to ship, but I keep getting ideas for new jewelry pieces.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I decided to check out my stock of pottery shard pieces to create some treasures with them. They always make nice gifts. Look what I came up with utilizing a couple:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Well, since I was in the purple mood, I found these great hot pink and purple multi-colored pieces that looked great with this pottery shard. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I like the history behind the potter shards. I have been told by my supplier that the Chinese people dig around in the old ruins of the pottery factories and find these pieces. They then wrap them with the metal and prepare them for sale. I think it is nice to have a piece of history. And who said you couldn't have something from the Ming Dynasty?? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday I went in a more earthy direction with these pieces:</span><br />

They come in hearts as well.<br />

Kady's Pet Couture has made pink ribbon dog and cat collars to remind people about breast cancer awareness. For each collar sold this month, we will donate $2 to the Breast Cancer Awareness foundation. Help us fight this dreaded disease!!</span></span><br />

</tbody></table>This weekend was the Greeley Tribune Art & Craft show at Island Grove. Although the weather refused to cooperate, we still had a nice turnout. Certainly not fair weather shoppers since we had a dip in temperature and received a wonderful, albeit chilly, rain to quench any Autumn thirst the plants and trees may have. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.kadyspetcouture.etsy.com/">Kady's Pet Couture</a> was set up in full holiday spirit. We offered many choices for those Diva pets in your household. We continued on the college theme by adding the Nebraska Huskers, as well as some lovely UNC Bears items. So cute and very popular this time of year. We even had some Bronco collars, although our Broncos lost their game, a true fan will continue to wear the blue and orange. <br />
<br />
Since October is National Breast Cancer awareness month we have a special Pink Ribbon fabric, which also has some lucky Lady bugs on it, with some pretty pink bows to which I also added a generous spattering of sparkles to create the special look we were after. For each Pink Ribbon collar sold this month, we will donate $2 to the Breast Cancer research fund.<br />

She is having a persimmon strapless dress for each bridesmaid and selected these necklaces for them to wear. Brown, tan, and ivory colored glass pearls all mixed with various crystals in tan and copper colors create a lovely blend of warm colors. The earrings are always included for free with the purchase of a selection of bridesmaid jewelry.<br />
<br />
I love her choices and wanted to share this with you. She will send us a finished picture of the big day! Personally, I believe I should actually head to Florida and visit Key West to ensure all jewelry is worn correctly, don't you???<br />
<br />
