Secret Santa Selector

santaAPP_512Christmas is only six weeks away...ahhhh! In my family we draw names, not necessarily a Secret Santa, but I don't know what else to call it. Anyway, we always have to write names out bits of paper and pull them out of a hat, but now there's an iPhone application that my friend Bill created and my husband's company, VISDOM, helped launch - the Secret Santa Selector (SSS). Click to keep reading... Just download the application, create/title your group, enter the names and then shake your iPhone or spin the wheel. Viola! Pass it around until everyone has picked and you're done. No more paper cuts and people cheating by recognizing unique paper crumples. haha.

Now, if only I could figure out what I want for Christmas...

Shearling & Plaid

Trend - Knee Highs

Though I adored the movie Clueless, I wasn't old enough to partake in the trend considering I was a mere fifth grader. haha! I'm seeing knee highs worn over tights, as well as peeping out from tall boots. Check out some examples...What are your thoughts?20-2195-20421bjfdk3019MarTwofeetWebimage.phpnoiya8

Handmade Gifts

green frameThere's nothing better than giving and receiving gifts that were made with lots of love and time. Recently, I gave my future sister-in-law a cute apron made out of fabric that matched her personality and style, and it just lit up her face. I love that feeling. I also gave her something that she will be wearing on her wedding day that I will be continuing to make and sell, but that's for another post. ;) So, here are some creators/designers that I've either purchased a product from or I'm planning on buying something from them in the near future!
