box vox makes How Magazine's list of Top 10 sites!
I'm pleased to announce that our blog (box vox) has made the How Magazine Top 10 list for February! This is a good month for that to happen, because I expect to be doing plenty of posting both here and on the dieline this month. We're attending the NY Gift Show on Saturday and I expect there will be lots to show-and-tell about.

Edison Volt
One thing I've come to realize, is that you'll never have enough time to do everything that you might get it into your head to try and do—but some of the stuff might just be do-able…
About a year ago I decided that I would no longer content myself with a guitar "off the rack." Instead, I would start a new project for which I was remarkably unqualified: to design and build my own guitar.
Although I had always thought of myself as a mid-century modern sort of guy, for some reason I wanted this guitar to look like it was made at the turn of the century. I think maybe I acquired this fetish for dark wood and tarnished brass from living in (and attempting to restore) an old house. I wanted my guitar to be like that—modern and electrified, but vaguely Victorian. Like a collaboration between Thomas Edison and Les Paul.
Very soon in the process I realized that I was not equipped with the tools or the know-how to pull this off. I would need help. Back in April of 2007 I found a guitar builder online who had guitars on his web site—a lot of which had features that I had actually written down in my initial wish list: exposed pickups that looked like transformers, knobs and switches on the top (rather than the front), brass corner protectors (which I ultimately decided against). This guitar builder was Ted Crocker, about whom I've written before on the box vox. It was he who ultimately constructed this guitar for me. (Although I did handle the carpentry on the headstock myself…)
For the past 10 months any amount of musical spare time I might have had, has instead been devoted making "actual size" guitar mechanicals in Illustrator and trolling eBay for brass guitar parts.
One neighbor, who works for DiMarzio here on Staten Island, helped me find a source for brass plating.
I designed & built a mechanical "string damper" since I love the "palm mute"
sound but do not seem be a good enough guitar player to achieve it via the
traditional technique. (The blue material is a scrubby pad.)
Along the way I encountered some sub-cultures I was not aware of going into this.
Many years ago I used to work at Christie's auction house where I learned about the importance of patina and provenance in the valuation of antiques. But on eBay there are enterprising artisans who will happily charge you a premium for gear they've scuffed up for you. (Sort of like pre-washed denim, I suppose.) I'm ambivalent about relic-ing. I know my guitar would be more important if Thomas Edison had really made it, but—like plenty of other good stuff—it's inherently fake. And I'm OK with that.
Likewise, I had no idea about Steampunk—that there were all these busy people making stuff look as if it were made 100 years ago. (Among my favorites of this sort of thing is Mike Yager's spectacles .) The downside of this trend is that too much of it looks like fanciful props for a science fiction movie. (Too many decorative brass gears that don't really turn anything.) Still, I love the idea that there's a groundswell movement of new people appreciating how cool old stuff is, 'cause I'm thinking, "hey, I'm old…"
Oh yeah, Ted insisted that we give the thing a name, hence: Edison Volt. Now the Volt is finished and I'm pretty jazzed about it. It sounds really good and I've officially reclaimed my musical spare time. (Anyone out there with special guitar needs should just go ahead and contact Ted directly.)

Package Hacking
Altoids tin thumb piano from yapruder/RP Collier's Flickr site
It's a wonderful thing when a product package is so iconic and so beloved that it spawns an entire subculture of cottage industry and energetic hobbyists. Altoids seems to be in such a position. While Radio Shack is gradually phasing out its trays of diodes and transistors, abandoning their original customer base of electronic hobbyists, Altoids has somehow taken its place. By now, most of us have seen Altoids tins used in everything from housings for flash drives to iPod chargers, but really that's just the tip of the iceberg. The list of things that people have thought of to make out of Altoids tins has gotten ridiculously long. So many people are recycling Altoid tins in such a variety of ways that one wonders how many of these tins ever find their way to a conventional recycling center.
Why has this happened? Partly it's just the luck and mystery of whatever it is that makes certain products successful. Partly, I think, it's because this sort of durable, permanent-seeming package is tremendously appealing and hard to throw away.

Birthday Mathematics
Photo of vintage birthday candle holders packaging from Fresh Vintage
Today I turn 53. Nice to have it fall on a weekend this time.
Recently stuck in a bit of javascript code on the "About" page of this blog. It was supposed to automatically update my age as the years pass. I put it in there last month while I was still 52. Annoyingly, it rolled me over to 53 a week early! (I don't really know javascript too well, but I'm pretty sure I entered the birth date variables correctly: 1955, 1, 20 … Maybe it has something to do with 2008 being a leap year?)
Having been born in 1955, my age used to follow a cool pattern in 11 year increments. Starting from the age of 00 in '55: I was 11 in '66; I was 22 in '77; I was 33 in '88; I was 44 in '99… Then the year 2000 rolled around and the Y2K millennium bug brought my multiples-of-11-age-computer thing to a crashing halt! I'll be 55 in 2010. Big deal.
Nice birthday candle packaging and POP display from Gloco Accents.

Constructed Label Paintings
Saw these paintings by Marc Travanti once in the eighties and I never forgot them. I love how they are so identifiable even without type and logos. Suitable geometric shapes for abstract paintings, yet anyone familiar with the source packaging—the head & shoulders shampoo, the Merit Cigarettes, the Wonder Bread—has no chance of seeing these as abstractions!
…the formal imagery of a Haagen-Dazs tub or the pattern from a Dixie Cup, with the labeling and the original "content" of the package gone, Travanti focuses on the significance of the images themselves. Form becomes content, and the commodity is transformed into an aesthetic ground, fixed for a moment outside the dizzying stream of popular culture.

Magnetic Packages (they attract and repel)
A few years ago I noticed a neighbor with two scotty dogs, one white and one dark. It reminded of something, but it took me a while to finally put my finger on what it was. When it finally came to me, I got onto eBay and bought me some "Magnetic Spunky Dogs." This package has been in my desk drawer ever since. A product, made in Hong Kong, it had a humble header card with a staple smack dab through the middle. Hang hole not fully punched out. (As "new old stock" it was apparently never hung up on a hook.) Same artwork front and back. (No UPC's in those days!) Note the ¢ sign rather than a $ sign! With packaging like this, I'm guessing there wasn't a lot of market research done or a focus group conducted about the design. No PRS eye-tracking here! Not saying I love the layout, but it explains the product well enough.
I recently stumbled onto this nice collection of "dime store" packaging on Kirk Demarais's Secret Fun Spot. (These 10 header cards are from his site.) His collection even includes a Spunky Dogs card. (More about Kirk Demarais and "dime store packaging" after the jump)

Vote Cat!
I don't know what office this cat is running for, but—the way I feel right now—I'm inclined to vote for him. (Our dogs just had a fight so I'm feeling kind of "pro-cat" at the moment.)
Our friend, JD King had become quite the cat-lover in his old age. Consider how many of his awesome illustrations now feature felines. (See for yourself at his blog!)
This particular illustration seems pretty timely what with election coverage, writer's strike and a green car. Love the TV antennas. (More cool cat illustrations after the jump…)

Metallic silver ink and a grid of colored dots. What's not to like? Metromint is supposed to be stronger than the usual mint-flavored water. (like Altoids if you could drink them?) I haven't gotten to taste it yet, but there's still one left so maybe that one's mine.
Designed in-house by Metromint co-founder, Rio Miura, this packaging won a Communication Arts Magazine design award in November 2007 issue.

Sapporo Beer
Shapely, recyclable bi-metal can from Sapporo Beer, but why are the graphics of a Japanese beer so Soviet? (Star, wheat, red, gold, etc.) Coincidence? Geographic proximity? (Soviet poster from an Ebay auction is provided here for comparative purposes.)
Came across another, different sort of Soviet style beverage packaging… "Leninade" This photos was from the SodaKing website. I can't find out much about makers, "Mr. Yin and Mr. Yang, LLC" although there appears to have been some trademark litigation with Pepsi in 2005. (Anyone know anything more about it? Please comment.)

Sun Valley's Room of Requirement
The Limelight Room at the Sun Valley Inn has a great deal in common with the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts Castle (for all you Harry Potter fans out there): it can be transformed into virtually anything you need. Hosting a conference? Easy. Staging a benefit gala for 200? Got it covered. Need a space to feature a special speaker? Done. This room can provide a perfect setting for just about any occasion.
This weekend, the Limelight Room assumed one of its myriad personalities: that of a beautiful venue for and evening of dinner and dancing — all for a great cause. On Saturday night, it was the backdrop for the always-popular Fall Game Dinner sponsored by the non-profit Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation.
The Game Dinner is only one of many parties that take place each year in the Limelight Room.
With its beautiful crystal chandeliers and rich color palate, the room provides a canvas that can be painted countless ways. I have been to events at the Limelight Room where the space is divided into two intimate areas – one for cocktails and one for dinner. I have enjoyed a mock casino night there, when it is jammed with "blackjack" and "poker" tables. I have listened to great speakers in that room (David Sedaris being my favorite) when rows of gold chairs faced the podium. Other events, like the upcoming Firefighters' Ball, another local favorite, don't require much more than a few bars, some cocktail tables and great music to morph the space into a nightclub. Each summer, the Limelight Room becomes HQ for the world's media moguls. Within those four walls, deals are made that make history.
On Thanksgiving Day, the Limelight Room will once again be transformed, this time into a lavish holiday all-you-can-eat buffet. Families and friends will gather to enjoy a home cooked meal with all the fixings that they did not have to spend days preparing. It is worth checking out the terrific room packages and early season ski specials available for Thanksgiving. Imagine taking a few opening day runs on Baldy or Dollar, eating until you can't move and simply walking down the hall to your room for a much-needed nap and perhaps some football on television. Pretty great.
Chances are, if you visit Sun Valley or live here, some occasion will bring you to the Limelight Room. It is quintessential Sun Valley and a place where memories are made.

GONDIA: The online operators appointed in various gram panchayats in Gondia have alleged that they are either underpaid or not paid at all by the Maha Online Ltd, which earns about Rs 20 lakh per month.
The central and state governments decided to develop the gram panchayats at par with other government institutions so that they could interact swiftly and their administration becomes transparent. On April 26, 2011, the state government issued instructions to connect all panchayats in the state online. E-panchayat (Sangram) project was launched and it was decided to be financed from the 13rd finance commission.
Maha Online Ltd was floated in collaboration with the state government in November 2011. With infrastructure support from computer company Lenovo, another company called Unity was entrusted with providing computer operator at 556 gram panchayats and coordinators at the tehsil offices.
The computer operators say that according to provision 14 of the GR dated April 26, 2011 the infrastructure has been provided only to about 300 gram panchayats and they have been paid wages only for two months viz December 2011 and January 2012. They said that only Rs 350-500 were paid, depending on the qualifications of the candidate and mercy of the district coordinator.
Some candidates told TOI that they had to even pay for the appointments. According to their estimate, since the company is paying them Rs400 less than what is mentioned in the contract, the company must be saving Rs 22 lakh per month.
Deputy chief officer (panchayat) Sachin Sablay could not be contacted as he was on leave. However, software engineer in-charge of the district said that the company had to supply 29,000 computer sets all over the state and very few tehsils have been supplied these sets so far. He added that the others would be supplied soon. District coordinator Sandeep Tembhurnikar said, "The company had entered into contracts with these operators before their appointments. If they did not agree with the wage structure, why did they sign the agreement at all?" BJP MLC Keshaorao Mankar had raised the issue in the assembly recently.

Nagarmotha oil is produced by steam distillation of the dried rhizomes of Cyperus scariosus R. Br. collected in India. It was estimated (Vaze 2003) that ca. 6,200 kg of oil are produced annually. The oil possesses a warm, woody vetiver-amber-patchouli-like aroma and can be used in a similar way in fragrances as vetiver. A survey of the literature reveals that not much is known about the composition of this oil other than the fact that Gupta and Chandra(1951) reported that it had good fixative properties. Gildemeister and Hoffmann (1956) reported that the oil contained mostly sesquiterpenes, of which only α-cyperone had been identified.

Dear Barack Obama,
Dear Mr. President,
Dear Barry,
We're not all that different, you and I. I think there's a lot that you and I could talk about. Therefore, I am cordially inviting you to come to Toronto and watch March Madness with me. Bring Michelle.
We both filled out a bracket, we are both almost surely going to end up being so wrong we'll be embarrassed to talk to our families for a few days because the stink of failure will still be seeping out of us. Our brackets will be put into the Museum of Failed Products. Our brackets will be looked upon not for their guile nor their gumption. We are brothers, Barry. Let's share our failure. Failure loves company. Bring Michelle.
Look at our first rounds. Sure, the 1s are through, we're not bold or brash enough to suggest a historic 16 seed upset. We are men of intelligence. Educated men. You picked Missouri over Colroado State. Know who else picked that in their bracket? This guy. Our midwest first round is the same because you and I are the same. Brothers in arms. Let's go West where I have to take you up on your BSU/LaSalle pick over Kansas State. We all make a random upset pick in the first round, we know it's coming, we just don't know where to look but this is forced. We don't even know who K-State is playing yet and you're picking against the purple people eaters? What would Prince think? Always ask yourself what Prince would think. I know you do. Because I know you. Think how much fun it would be if we watched that game together and we laughed about how wrong one of us ends up being. It'd be great. Bring Michelle.
Going South I see that we both agreed on Oklahoma as a 10 seed upset. We could sing the soundtrack of the musical together. Biden must be in at least one jug band, he can provide the music. And probably the beer. In the East I like what you're doing. Your pick of Syracuse was clearly made just for me because it's basically part of Canada anyway and of course you picked my Butler Bulldogs to go through because you know how much I cared for them a few years back and you just want what's best for me. Let's celebrate Butler together. Bring Michelle.
In the round of 32 you're backing up my theory that Michigan State is really good, you know they're in my final four. I know you're not putting them there but I appreciate you pushing them past Memphis so one of my four doesn't go out super early. That's the kind of camaraderie you just don't see in dimestore friends. Ohio State obviously beats Notre Dame in the West, I'm glad we both have that. Can't have Notre Dame having too much sporting success in a year because I wouldn't deal with that very well. I know you feel the same way. I have Florida and Miami going through because I knew you would too and I wanted to back your presence in Florida. My bubbie likes to vacation there too and I know you need my people's votes. I'll make us lox and cream cheese nachos when you come by. Rahm and I broke the Yom Kippur fast with them. What? Crazy. They're as delicious as they are insane. You'll love them. Bring Michelle.
I know that your moving Duke to the elite eight is just good natured ribbing. You know I'd never do that purely out of spite. I know you'd only push them through as a way to irritate me. But it's cool, I know you mean well and I know it's just a joke. No hard feelings on eliminating Gonzaga, either. They're the popular pick, I know you're just trying to appeal to the underdog spirit. And you can't let a team led by a Canadian go that far, gotta keep that nationalism alive and well. I'm not going to complain about it because I know you'll be spending the tournament in Canada with me, anyway. We can take a tour of the CN Tower. Well, it's not really a tour, it's really just an elevator. But it goes up really high. Bring Michelle.
Louisville over Duke. There you go. I knew it was just a joke. You had me going for a second, Barry. Not going to let an insignificant nothing of a school like Duke get in between us. Our bond is stronger than that. And you have Indiana going all the way. I can't say I fully agree with you there but I like the idea. This can add so much to our tournament. We can have a movie night and watch Hoosiers. I'll get the sleeping bags from the garage, we'll make a whole night of it. I microwave really good popcorn. You bring the hot chocolate? Cool? Cool. Glad we got that sorted out. You can teach me how to pull off gray hair like you do. I can teach you how to make sure you never lose your remote control. We bring so much to each other's table. That's why this works. This is going to be the best March Madness ever.
Bring Michelle.

Former Tory Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell is to be separated from his famous 'plebgate' bicycle, according to the Daily Mail. Mitchell is to peddle his wares online as his famous bicycle is auctioned on eBay for charity after thieves tried to steal it - twice!
Mr Mitchell believes the bicycle, with its distinctive basket, is too easily recognised since the broadcast of CCTV footage of his Downing St altercation.
A friend of the Tory MP said the bicycle is "very recognisable, partly because of the basket. If he sells it, he'll be buying a new one because cycling is just about the only exercise he gets."
Maybe Mitchell should avoid cycling altogether in future.

The Uptown Optimist Club has their Christmas tree lot up and running in Great Falls.
Sales at the Optimist Tree Lot benefit children through various charitable organizations.
Organizers say each year they raise more than $25,000 to funnel into community programs such as the Boys & Girls Club.
Roger Lesofski, Uptown Optimist Club tree lot chairman, noted, "When kids come in and their parents come in it's a happy time. Everyone is picking out their tree for their celebration. Just working a lot and watching these kids eyes picking a tree out is a tremendously good feeling."
As of Sunday, the club had already sold 350 trees since being open only a few days.
The lot will stay open until all 1,500 trees are sold.
The tree lot is located in the Beef Barn at the Montana ExpoPark.

Testimonials - My clients are the lifeblood of my business.
I am lucky to have encountered some very special people.
I would like to take minute and recognize our web designer David Rogers
for the work he has done for us and the continuing support that we receive.
I had asked David after contacting him if he could help our site and within
a week our association was running a great and was user friendly for all the
owners. I would recommend his web services to small and large businesses and
organizations. - Mark Green - liveoaklandingtexas.org
David is a tech savvy designer who helped drive business
to my site through his diligent work. He is an excellent communicator and
was there every step of the way during site building. - Jeff - autotekz.com
David Rogers isn't merely a web designing guru, he's got
both feet on the ground and is a very valuable business asset and information
resource. David has become a great and very close personal friend of mine through
our decade of working together. If web designers are rated on a scale from
1-10, David is somewhere around 50 and in a league all his own. I have zero
hesitation in recommending his services, if only all the people I deal with
were like David... life would be so much better. - Brian Moritz
David Rogers is the real thing. He's professional,
kind, creative and reliable. I've worked with many website developers over
the years and have always been disappointed, not so with David. He created
a website that I can be proud of. I look forward to a long and successful
relationship. David is someone I can trust to always be there, he doesn't
disappoint. - Robert Landau RobertLandauMotivation.com
I recently selected David Rogers to design a website
for my new tour guiding business (executivetoursdc.com—check it out).
I chose him over the nearly 70 answers to my ad after looking at sites he has
designed and speaking with him on the phone. What made David stand out was
that he was immediately helpful. After our brief first phone conversation,
I had a much better idea of the kind of input I needed to provide to make this
happen. He also outlined the elements of a good commercial site. He helped
me form a much clearer idea of what I wanted, and inspired me to get it done.
Working with David throughout the process, I was not disappointed with my choice.
Although I changed my mind more than once, David always worked to accomplish
what I wanted and made it seem easy. I found his prices consistently reasonable,
his competence excellent, and his patience almost limitless. For these reasons
I asked him to host the site after it was designed and also relied on him for
recommendations for SEO services. In my book, he gets 5 stars *****.
- Elizabeth J. Sherman, Washington, DC

Compassion for the Earth
Written by: John O'Keefe
The other night I attended a documentary on Climate Refugees. It was an assemblage of apocalyptic predictions about the mass migrations that could be triggered if warming continues unabated and the world warms 3 or 4 degrees Celsius. Things, the film suggest, are pretty much going to suck, I mean really suck. The goal of the filmmaker, I suppose, was to scare the crap out of us in the hope that this might motivate us to change. This approach bugs me.
Now, I am not a climate denier. In fact, I agree that unless we change and change fast, things are going to get bad, maybe apocalyptically bad. During my darker moments, I wonder if we have reached the end of everything and that the armies of gas drillers and oil mongers currently raping North Dakota and Alberta will actually succeed in dragging humanity into a dystopian future of relentless misery. So, I don't need any reminders of why we should be afraid. My problem with this film and others like it, is that it relies too much on fear as a motivator.
During the film I found myself thinking about the incarnation — I know, weird, but I am a theologian. In particular I was thinking about Ignatius' contemplation on the incarnation in the Spiritual Exercises. The incarnation happens because of God's boundless compassion for humanity and because of God's desire to save. I also thought of a little known passage from a book by 6th century monk Isaac of Nineveh in which he urges that we have compassion for all creatures and all creation in its suffering. The fathers of the church spoke often about God's love for humanity as the primary motivation for the incarnation.
If compassionate love is the primary form of God's engagement with the world, maybe we should attempt to imitate that. Rather than trying to motivate people to environmental action by stoking their fear, perhaps we should work to increase their love and affection for creation. This is the approach advocated by the great American conservationist Aldo Leopold. "We love only what we know," he said, and "we grieve only for what we love." God loves the world intimately, and God grieves for the suffering of creation. If we can tap into this and love the world as God loves it, then we have a shot at finding the inner resources and motivation to actually work for meaningful change.
At the risk of sounding trite, I'll say it: love is stronger than fear. It's a better motivator too.

Four interesting and enlightening workshops on Smart Cities are being held in collaboration between DTU, DI and CCC. Each workshop will emphasize certain issues concerning city development and Smart Cities. The four themes are energy and water, waste and transport, city life and construction and lastly but not least, food and industry. Accordingly, every workshop will focus on two specific issues with high relevance for Smart Cities. This month's workshop, on city life and construction, will include short, yet, inspiring presentations on the two subjects. The presentations will be followed by a number of workshops, where the participants will have the opportunity to engage in and discuss some of the problems they are facing as well as future challenges, and share their ideas and solutions. Participants will thus be able to discuss and explain their specific solutions to these problems and their roles as future actors of Smart Cities. The purpose of the workshop is to inform and bring attention to issues facing our cities and discuss solutions to make our current and future cities into Smart Cities. Additionally, there will be plenty of opportunities to network with other actors, scientists, companies and governmental institutions, interested in these issues.

Home › Academics › Colleges › College of Engineering and Natural Sciences › Departments and Schools › Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry › Research › Study of Individual Differences
Why do individuals seek reward, avoid danger, and take risks differently? Bill Potter, Professor, and Robert Sheaff, Associate Professor, are members of the Institute of Biochemical and Psychological Study of Individual Differences.
The goal of this Institute is to employ Biochemical and Psychological studies to analyze the structures and signals of the major adaptive emotional systems. This Institute focuses on human individual differences in the systems that control the seeking of reward opportunities, the avoidance of dangers, risk-taking, risk analyses, and an individual's capacity to build realistic cognitive models of external reality.
The settings, structures and signaling in the adaptive emotional systems differ from individual to individual. Broad patterns emerge in which some individuals, for example, are highly responsive to signals of new opportunities and potential rewards, but others fail to see those possibilities. Some individuals readily detect danger and threat, but others go too far, sensing danger when none exists. Some individuals are oblivious to clues of impending danger. These enduring patterns emerge in psychological studies as personality individual differences. Personality individual differences are conceptualized as the enduring parameters of briefly acting dynamic emotion systems.
The Institute works to understand the dynamic modulation of genetic and other biochemical features of these emotion systems. We are currently investigating the effects of threat signals in people with known psychological variations in the personality traits of Negative-Emotionality, and Disconstraint/Sensation Seeking and known biochemical variations in serotonergic and catecholamine systems, cortisol and corticotropic releasing hormone receptors and other hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis signals.

Unless you enjoy taking frequent trips to the launderette or have plenty of space to hang the washing out to dry, or are blessed with fine weather all the time, purchasing a tumble dryer
Electric vs. Gas Dryers | |
Fires involving tumble dryers are an all too common occurence. To avoid a fire in your own home, make sure you check and clean the lint traps and vent systems as often as possible. A top-mounted lint filter is easier to clean than one inside the drum, so keep this in mind while doing your shopping. Also, if you tend to be forgetful, make sure you get a model with a warning light that reminds you to clean out the filter.
A combination washer/dryer

Sounds like a good day in the sewing room yesterday. Having to go to the gym to work out would probably make it easier to make an excuse not to go. Although I would come up with plenty of excuses for working out at home too so more kudos to you for doing your workout regularly.
Actually sewing something today - a little bag to hold a diaper and wipes for Curtis's teacher as she is going to have a new baby soon (also giving her a gift card to Babies R Us since she is registered there. Of course kids don't get the concept of gift cards and like to give something that the person can open so Curtis wanted to give her an actual gift. |

I never really thought about not having park hoppers. Once California Adventure opened, we always bought them because the parks were so close. So, when we went to WDW, I got them. The only day I went to 2 parks was our AK day. Jacob, however, used it frequently. He loved going to a different park while the rest of us were resting or done for the day. So, I guess it was worth it for us.

First time we went to Disney the tickets I purchased came with hoppers. (I really had no clue what I was doing and the trip was a reward from work so they pretty much handled everything.)
The hoppers came in handy because we hated MK (never even got off Main Street) and went back to AK, because that was the kids favorite! So I have never been without hoppers. My favorite part is that I choose where I want to eat, and then go .... Most of our favorites are at Epcot and we hop over there for dinner and stay for the fireworks. And then there was that crazy trip where we attempted to go to all 4 parks in one day...we only made it to 3...Miss B got heat exhaustion ...boooo...so we never made it to AK that day! LOL... I love having the flexibility (even though I do get teased a lot about my schedules and plans... I have been told that I even plan the potty breaks...which is no longer true. We do not have a potty training child this visit! LOL) Nini

Thanks Chiara!!! It was a pretty good day - we are starting to get very busy with holiday photo cards and stuff... many people browsing for Christmas ideas too. I am really getting into the holiday spriit myself.
I am also pretty sure we will keep our early breakfast at Tusker House... Since we love getting into AK early. Otherwise - I would like to try a few new places... In no particular order, I'd like to try the Plaza and Sleepy Hollow (I know, this is CS, but we usually have so many TS, that no room in our bellies for CS)... Not sure about Epcot or DHS yet... We might go back to 50's because I think that is a restaurant that BFF and her dd would enjoy, and I must say that we missed it on this last trip. Epcot always stumps me... There is just so much there that I can never decide. Quote:

I hope this is it. Quote:

I may do a trip report of the girls weekend at Food and Wine but you'd have to rely heavily on your imagination - I took 5 pictures in 3 days!
I am completely shocked that I just read you didn't sew when the girls were little! I always assumed that because I don't already know how to sew, I'd missed my window. Maybe not? Did you teach yourself? I am completely intrigued - I'd love to hear the whole story of how you went from a non-sewer to turning out this awesome creations!

I'm glad you had a fairly good day at Target. It's starting to get busy at work, too. We spent monday putting out Christmas movies. People are starting to make their Christmas photo cards, too.
My daughter and I were watching Extreme Couponeruying alls yesterday, too. She couldn't figure out what they were going to do with all that stuff or how buying all that was going to pay for a wedding in one show. She get go to work with $10 worth of coupons for things she needs to buy on the way out of work. I was all set to start a project yesterday but had no really stiff interfacing so I'll have to get some at work today. It's really nice having a fabric department where I work but I normally don't buy fabric just averything else. Liz |

LOL - yah some of those extreme couponing shows just baffle me... The one I watched, the woman purchased 27 (27!!!!) bricks of cream cheese! There is NO WAY I could use up all that cream cheese before it expired/molded. Maybe 3 or 4 bricks (which I would consider excessive), but 27? C'mon... LOL No way. LOL Yah - I do go to Walmart occasionally for stabilizers and other items, it's the ONLY store that's semi-near to me with a decent sewing supply section - but half the time, when I go there, they are out of what I need. So, I always go with impending doom at the back of my head, knowing I may have to drive another 30 miles to get what I need. LOL Quote:
I did have a great day in my sewing room - thank you! ************************************************** ******** Yesterday was a very good day for me... I was able to accomplish so much! I chatted with Nini on Facebook a little in the morning - and she gave me an intense urge to clean my sewing room... It was BAD!!!! It was so bad, that when I walked in there to grab something on Sunday night, I asked Victoria what she did in there - because it was trashed - and she said "Mom, I haven't been in there - that's your mess!" WHAT???? Seriously???? I guess - I just spend so much time in there, that I don't see it. My issue is all of my scraps.... I keep a TON of them for my appliques... Normally - I keep them in a clear over-the-door shoe organizer, so I can seperate by color... But lately - I've been lazy and I've just been putting them in a nice little box on my counter... Well, it just kept piling up and piling up - before I knew it, it was overtaking my sewing room. YIKES! So, it was definatly time to clean in there... I did not take a "before" photo - I probably should have... but I didn't even think of it... But it was bad, I promise! Once I put all of my scraps away - I started reorgainzing my machines. I've been using my serger a little more lately because of the dress and SSP, and Victoria hasn't touched her machine in months - it was taking up precious counter space... It was time to make the best use of my little bit of counter space and justify each item there... 1) I put the cover on her machine and put it on the floor under the counter, so if she wants to use it, it's really easy to get out and set up. 2) I moved the computer (that I NEVER use) over to my packing counter.... It really just needs to go, but I need Josh to pull it apart... So, it will stay for now. 3) I put the borrowed embroidery machine on the counter where my computer was - so when I finally do get enough $$ saved up for the embroidery machine I am getting (soon), it will have it's own dedicated spot. 4) Which left a full counter for Mr. Rocket and my current projects to be laid out. 5) And Patience's counter is still all to herself - I never have to worry about her space getting cluttered, because I am always using her. So, here's the reorganized space... I realize it's still a little messy... After I took the picture - I realized I had one of my SSPs sitting right out there for you all to see - and it's not ready to be seen yet - so I twirled it out. But if you look on my counter - you will see that "The Great Stocking Project" is in full swing... Honest - it's so nice to have it clean again. Phew! When I was all done organizing - then I went back to work on what I was really supposed to be working on... By the end of my work day - I had finished my current custom order bag... I plan to work on and finish the wallet this morning... So I should have pictures posted for you all sometime today. Last night was kind of crazy... The girls had to stay after school for various activities... So, I picked them up at 5, then we went out to dinner... As Victoria and I had a meeting to attend for a weekend get-away she is doing with school in a few weeks... So, we went to Applebees for dinner... While we were there - We sent Bradey (Suzi's DS) a "Happy Birthday" photo... We just LOVE little Bradey - he is so cute! And then we all went to the meeting... That was an EXPENSIVE meeting - let me tell ya... These school trips are not cheap! And this is not something we normally let the girls do (tightwad, remember?) - but Victoria wanted to do it badly - in order to go, she had to pay for half of it herself. She did a great job and was able to save up her portion of the $$ by babysitting over the last month +... Which meant we had to fulfill our end of the bargain too. It will be a great trip for her and she will have a lot of fun! Then we came home and went right to bed. It was a late night for us! Today, I will be in my sewing room... I should have the wallet done before lunch - I hope... I did all of my prep work for it yesterday. Then I will either work on my SSP or The Great Stocking Project... Normally, I grocery shop with BFF on Fridays - but she has other things going on today, so we are planning to do that tomorrow. ************************************************** ******** Oh and one final thing... My story about how I learned to sew - it's kind of short (relatively)... LOL I wrote these 2 years ago as part of my very first PTR... Learning to sew - my story And my story about Patience - my 1952 Singer 15-91... My main sewing machine... Patience! Have a great day everyone! Thinking of all of you who need prayers... Kat... Jennifer... Everyone. D~
