I'm Home

Oh.....I'm home. It feels soooo good to unpack all my stuff and be surrounded by my very own things. Am I wrong to think that? I mean, "stuff" is so materialistic and considering the entire world into the big picture...is it wrong to be appreciative of those materialized things?

Officially, I have christened my new home with the best dirty martini ever! My daughter and I have toasted to good times and good health.

Can you tell I have downed one martini!??!!!

I think you're owed a martini or two or three. Yes, I bow to the materialistic pleasures surrounding me. The are iconic symbols that I have lived. My treasured memories will be passed onto my child and grandchildren, just as many were inherited from my ancestors. They are who we are and there is no shame in our appreciation and comfort of them. I recall admiring the many collections of precious items carefully displayed in curio cabinets in your previous home. You have an innate sense of comfort and style - no doubt your new home will be just as warm and inviting.

Yes, you deserve a martini. Congrats on your new home, Deb!

Okay, okay - I officially like you. Just found your blog after a comment you left on mine, am scrolling through and reading... need to head to bed but I'm procrastinating as usual and came across the dirty martini comment. Any woman who likes dirty martinis - I like. I'm simple that way.

I am commiserating with you while reading about the unpacking bit. Gah. We moved here last January and I still don't have all of my pictures up on the wall and there are still boxes in the attic that I need to get down and organize in the office. It's so hard to just jump in there and get it done though, I always find an excuse.

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei

Christmas in July Give A Way

What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would

Tyler Florence Made Me Breakfast!

Yes, it is true!  Tyler Florence from Food Network made me blueberry pancakes, maple sugar pepper bacon and caramelized bananas.  How did this happen, you say?  In short, my children gave me tickets to The Metropolitan Cooking Show in Atlanta as a birthday present.  Being a diehard Tyler Florence fanatic, I opted for the special show to gaze upon my favorite celebrity chef.  Not being a shy gal, I ran up to the mike to ask my very probing question.  “What is the secret of making risotto?” Here I am on the big screen asking my question to Tyler Florence. My question monopolized a good portion of the Q & A time.  Sorry, Tyler.  But I just had to know! As Tyler began to plate up his creation, he called to me over the loud speaker! Yes, me.  He called ME!  Running up to the stage, he handed me this wonderful plate and wished me a very happy birthday.  Sorry for the blurry photo, but we were shooting without the flash.  My daughter learned that a steady hand is most importa
