How to Train Your Dragon

We all need a little breather with Mr (or Mrs?) Christmas almost knocking at our door so this week will be a Necklace Week. :)

Our PotD for Monday is this little blue-eyed couple, a fairy and her dragon girl. I’m pretty sure the dragon is a girl because she uses the same hair dye as her human counterpart. :D I must say both of them are very photogenic and the dragon lady is definitely good at striking a pose. I guess the girl really knows how to train her dragon. ;)

 

Christmas Memories

Sunday brings two beautiful Christmas binder designs. Santa’s Workshop has a magical, fairy-tale feel – plenty of snow, windows revealing warm light inside, smoke rising up out of the chimney… The Christmas a child’s mind dreams about and loves. Red and Gold Christmas is a classy design with a color combination that never disappoints. It’s very fancy looking and will surely be appreciated by every classic art lover. But what would even the most beautiful binder be without something meaningful inside? So don’t forget to fill it with your favorite Christmas Memories. :)

 

Treat Me Nice This Christmas

Another Sexy Saturday is here (time sure does fly, huh?) and I’ve chosen another piece by the same artist we picked last Saturday. The reason is simple: I’ve found a sexy brunette on one of their products and I just had to share her with all those who might prefer dark-haired beauties to blondes. After all, beauty comes in many shapes, sizes and colors, and we all have that special one who sure treats us nice and we get all excited when they come and say: Merry Christmas, Baby. ;-)

 

Wait, wait, Mister Postman!

Have you sent out Christmas cards yet? If not, you definitely should as soon as possible. And if you’re someone who spends hours picking out the right Christmas card, you might try to go one step further this year and get yourself these customizable stamps. Make your Christmas cards special with these little pieces of art; so special that people will want to frame your cards and show them off to their friends. So hurry because you really don’t want your relatives and friends to beg like this:

Wait, oh yes, wait a minute, mister postman
Wait, wait, mister postman…

There must be some word today
From my best friend so far away
Please, mister postman, look and see
If there’s a letter, a letter for me…

 

Creativity Begins Here

If you have a little budding artist in your family, you know how their crayons, pencils and sketch paper end up all over the house – or wherever they last felt that creative urge. Don’t despair, Ferald is here with this great tote! A perfect place to store sketch pads, pencils, and all the other necessities of life! Your young artist will be “taking care of business” in style, and can take their creativity with them everywhere they go!

Let there be Peace on Earth

After yesterday’s post about Peace on Earth, I just had to share one other design that popped up while searching “Peace on Earth”. It’s special to me because it’s by one of my favorite artists – I even have one of her prints hanging on my wall. You should check out all the other wonderful artwork by DudaDaze!

“Let there be peace on earth… and let it begin with me.” The sentiment brings to mind John Lennon’s Happy Xmas (War Is Over). Peace on Earth begins when all the wars end. Peace on Earth begins with me. There’s a Christmas Peace I can “imagine”! :-)

 

Christmas Wish

I’m going to let you in on a Christmas secret. (No, it’s not what I’m giving Dean for Christmas ;-) ) It’s my all-time favorite Christmas song since I was a child. I can remember watching this when it first aired and being blown away, not only by the unique combination but also by the message. It stayed with me for days afterward, and now that I’m older I understand why.

Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can…
I pray my wish will come true
For my child and your child too.

Now that I’ve got you in the Christmas spirit, I want to share two designs that remind me of my favorite song. It’s only fitting since it’s two songs in one with two uniquely wonderful singers.

May you have Peace this Christmas and all through the New Year.

Santa Baby

What says “sexy” better than Eartha Kitt’s velvety smooth voice? Maybe this cute comic strip style “Mrs. Claus” pin-up ornament? Well, we’ve got both for you for our Sexy Saturday post. I can imagine Santa hurrying down the chimney to give her all the things on Eartha’s list, can’t you?

Back to the Good Ol’ Days Cookbook

Have you ever wanted to go back to the good old days, watching your Memaw cooking in the kitchen… and “helping” by standing on a stool and pouring ingredients in a bowl or adding the sprinkles to her very special cookies? Now you can, with this great cookbook binder! It’s a great place to gather your favorite family recipes and pass them down to your grandchildren as they help you by standing on a stool and pouring ingredients into a bowl…

 

Send me to Margaritaville

Ok, I’ll be the first to admit it. I do love Christmas as much as the next person, but give me a Christmas that’s green! The weather’s getting colder and my thoughts are turning to warmer climates. The Florida Keys, Caribbean, Virgin Islands, the Gulf Coast – Corpus Christi, Padre Island . . . I am a Texas girl, after all – I love our Texas Coast in the fall! Anywhere I can dig my toes in the sand, sit back, relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of the busy season. If I can’t be there in person, I can at least be there in spirit!

This beautiful palm tree at sunset wrapped canvas set is the perfect way to escape to St. Lucia in the Caribbean in your own home. Ahhhh, take me away to Margaritaville!
