mondays need liquid fuel

This is the time of year when I always want to be up north. The crisp air and the changing leaves have it hands down over Florida's tiresome humidity. I love a warm drink and a cool day. Pair these flasks with a liquid fuel and give it with an invitation to a picnic or a tailgating party. Baileys and hot chocolate anyone or how about coffee and rum or you tell me....what should I put in your flask?

for him.

It's no secret men can be difficult......to buy for that is. However, these towels would provide something nicer than a dry shave. The dry wit we can't do anything about.

i'm wondering

I have a question.....actually, a couple. It is the time of year when I need to be putting together the holiday gift guide. For those of you who saw last year's, I would love some feedback before I embark on this task again. For those of you who didn't, you can click on it in the right side column if you would like to see what I'm talking about. I'm wondering if you liked it with the pages devoted to the recipients like it was or if it could be done in a more general layout. I was thinking about changing things up a bit, but you know the saying....if it's not broke, don't fix it. Let me know.....I can handle constructive criticism if you feel the need. As you can imagine, it is a tremendous undertaking, but I really want it to evolve in a forward motion.

Okay, secondly....and less importantly......have you been checking out the photos on bing? I love google. My kids ask a question and my standard answer is...google it. However, the daily photos on bing are nothing short of amazing.

belongings

I've posted about bookplates before, but here is a cute little set all ready to go. You could give these with another book or you could stick one of these in the book you are giving and have extras on hand for other gifts. I like a book that has been signed by the person who gave it to me with a little message. Do you sign the books you give?

if wishes were fishes.

May your weekend be filled with everything you wish for....

The wishbones are a classic and a favorite from our site.

time in a box.

I wouldn't mind watching time slip through my fingers if I had this clock. It is so much less obtrusive than the clock on the cable box or a blackberry. A clock is a very unexpected gift to give, but I think you could pull it off if you gave it to someone you are trying to make more time for. Are you a clock person? People either have no clocks or many......what do you think that says about our personalities??

running on empty

I'm running way behind this morning.....and it's only 9 something. I'm feeling like my day is filled with things I have to get done, but what I need to be thinking is that my day is like these metal boxes I've long adored......they may look empty, but they're filled with possibilities.
