Bust the Heat With Christmas in July!


 Since dreaming of cooler weather doesn't quite seem to do the trick,
how about a little Christmas in July?
After all, QVC and HSN just completed their Christmas shows!
If we can transcend ourselves to a time where the heat and humidity of summer doesn't exist...
...perhaps we can elude the summer misery...

...I'm thinking of snow and snowballs...
...crisp air that smells so fresh...
...my favorite Christmas carols running through my head...
...the ringing of the Salvation Army bell as I enter the store...
...the seat warmer in my car...

...taking Jack to see Santa Claus at the mall...
...twinkling lights...
...the smell of fresh fir...


Are we there yet?  

I'm sure by winter I will be posting about the gawd awful cold snap and
frigid temperatures...

but ya know....I would like that chance right now!

Think cool!

I saw the Christmas specials on QVC as well. We have several of them going on in town right now as well, at some of the local stores. I too am looking forward to winter and cold weather!

Love it...Edward reminded me the other day ab out a certain day this past winter when it was so cold and we had just had all that snow and I asked him to remind me how cold I was that day when it was hot in July. Funny how we can recall memory and feel it's coolness or warmth.

Isn't that just human nature. We are always looking forward to the coming holidays, the coming spring, the first snow, etc. Somehow we always think another time or place is better:)

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

Image
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 ...
