I hope you had as fabulous of a Thanksgiving weekend as we did. In the words of my father-in-law, “It’s been the best Thanksgiving of my life.”
The Halls got a late start in the marriage and grandchildren department but have made up for lost time over the last couple of years. So, while last Christmas [...]

Download Day – Filled With Wonder
Posted in Download Day, tagged Download Day, holiday frame on November 23, 2009 | 13 Comments »
I know, I know….I didn’t do a download last week. Some weeks are just like that. But it’s back today and I have had requests this week for some Christmas downloads for our holiday frame (click here for more info about our holiday frame idea). If you’re like me, you want to get those Christmas [...]
I’m Grateful For…
Posted in Project 365 of Gratitude, tagged Broadway, collections, gratitude, window cards on November 21, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Jason and I love to go to Broadway shows. When we lived in Connecticut we were just outside of New York City and would head into Manhattan on a regular basis to check out the new plays and shows. We started collecting the window card posters of our favorites, thinking that we would use them [...]

I just received an email from my cute cousin, Janae. Here’s what she said:
Hi Kolette!
I wanted to write to tell you I used your cute “Gobble till you wobble” download, and I love it. I have never purchased Thanksgiving decorations before, and after cleaning up my Halloween stuff my front table was looking a little [...]
Ahhh…Parenthood

One of my favorite things about the new iPhone 3G is the fact that you have an instant video camera at your fingertips. Then, to make it even better, you can now text video and photos. Before I upgraded my phone I analyzed the features and really didn’t think that I would use or care [...]
The Mantra
Posted in Day By Day, tagged exercise, extraordinary, Jim's Gym on November 14, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Jim served as a Marine. Hence, the military-style workouts he concocts. I find myself just running (ok, sort of jogging) between exercises each day without paying a lot of attention to what I’m supposed to do next. Following blindly, is more like it. It’s hard enough to do the workout much less have to remember [...]

I love etsy.com. Not only can you find just about anything handmade or vintage there, but you also get an ever-changing crop of treasures to choose from. Talent and creativity simply oozes from the screen with each click of the mouse. The personal touch is ever-present and having a “convo” with each shop owner is [...]

Odds and Ends + Giveaway
Posted in Day By Day on November 6, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Today is an odds and ends day. There are things that have to be taken care of but aren’t urgent and so I collect them in a pile on my desk to be dealt with later. The same goes with my blog. I have a few odds and ends that I want to share today.
First, [...]
Gift of Gratitude

I always think of you as being so very balanced and sensible, such an excellent woman.
I love that quote because I like to think of myself as balanced and sensible. If you haven’t read the book it comes from, Excellent Women by Barbara Pym, then I encourage you to pick it up. It’s quaint, not [...]
