Spring!

By -
I love these 8 Spring Tips from Jonathan Adler. I found them on a dazzling blog, Her Name Was Lola.

Clean! There is nothing more depressing than a Grey Gardens grunge scenario.
Bicycle! The perfect way to be green and tone your legs just in time for summer!
Pillows! Store your winter throw pillows and brighten up the living room with some colorful new pillows in your favorite summer weight fabric.
Lamps! More lamps and less watts = diva lighting.
Candles! Candlelight erases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Towels! Invest in brand new extra fluffy towels. People wait too long and they get all frazzled and gnarly - replace them now!
Re-paint! Something needs re-painting and you keep putting it off but now is the time – just do it! (this was meant for me!!)
Re-arrange! Turn your furniture into new and groovy configurations. How about a semi-circle? Think "conversation pit!"

And my own that I am adding:
Hug!! Someone out there needs one!

Good tips. I so need to wash the dishes and pick up my clothes today. I'm always on top of laundry, though. Laundry is my bitch.

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts.

Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW !

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
