Hiding from someone? Get your own Ghillie suit

by

Do you play paintball outdoors? Perhaps you’re a hunter or a member of the military? You’ve got to take a look at the ghillie suits offered by cheapest-ghillie-suits.com.

They sell everything from Special Ops Ghillie Suits for Hunters, Military, and Paintball. You can purchase full body suits, ponchos and accessories, as well as snipping and coverall suits.

I’d love to have one of these the next time I go and play paintball! It’d be totally cool. These ghillie suits are the perfect camouflage. No one would know I was there until they were right beside me! I’d finally have a chance of winning!

These Ghillie suits would also be perfect for hunters. My brother in law used to go duck hunting all the time and I’m sure he’d prefer a Ghillie suit to hiding behind a screen.

Visit the site to see the selection. The prices seem quite reasonable to me.






The GTS membership is growing!

by

Ok, so we’ve had a number of people in the last week or so requesting to sign up for Green Thumb Sunday.

I believe that I’ve only got one more request siting in my mailbox for a person who’s waiting to be added to the blogroll. I’ll be getting to that person shortly.

Green Thumb Sunday is growing weekly. Every week there must be 10 or so people that contact me requesting to join. Not all of them seem to get back to me to tell me they’ve added the blogroll to their site though.

If you’ve added the blogroll to your site but forgot to let me know please leave a comment in this post and I’ll visit your site and add you to the list if everything checks out ok. We’re always happy to have more gardener and nature lovers on the list.

I haven’t been the best lately about getting around to visit all the participating sites. I do hope you’ll forgive me for that. I’ve been so ill for the last few months, and I earn my living off the internet so more often than not I’m slowly puttering away at the build up of work that I have and that doesn’t leave me much time to visit websites – even though I really would like to do that!

I hope to rectify my lack of visiting member sites very soon!

I do hope that the majority of you are taking the time to try to visit some if not all of the GTS websites each Sunday or through the week? That is, after all, why I created Green Thumb Sunday. So we could visit garden and nature related sites, see what other people are doing in their gardens, perhaps get some ideas of our own, and to share information about plants and techniques. You might even make some great friends too!

Just like me, I know that everyone can’t get around to the sites every week, but do try. There’s nothing better than writing a post about something close to your heart, or perhaps about a problem that you are having and getting a response from others that may be able to help.

Now, if you decide to join the blogroll and meme after reading this post I may not be able to add your site in time for tomorrows Green Thumb Sunday postings … but take the time to make your own GTS post, and visit some of the sites on the Green Thumb Sunday blogroll so that the other members will know that you’re part of our little club.

Enjoy!

Online window shopping for furniture

by

If you are thinking of purchasing new furniture, whether it be a particular piece of furniture or perhaps enough to furnish a whole room you should take a moment and have a look at the quality furniture being sold at furniturefromhome.com.

When we complete our basement renovation I’ll be shopping for new furniture. We already have a sectional couch for the room but that’s about it. What I’d really like to do is section the basement off so there’s a laundry room, bathroom, a den or living area and a guest bedroom.

We already have three bedrooms in our home but another bedroom is always handy. However, since we don’t have any spare bedroom furniture so we’ll need to get some Bedroom Furniture. Perhaps something like this bookcase bed. I’ve told you before that we live in a 1927 house and there’s no closets or storage. A bed such as this with all it’s drawers would be fantastic. Perhaps we wouldn’t have to get as much bedroom furniture with such a bed?

Actually, after taking a look at their selection of Leather Sofas perhaps I might ditch the old sectional sofa. They have some very nice leather sofas to choose from – regular two or three seaters and sectional. I like them! Take a look.

Actually I’m getting some more ideas as I browse through the site. If you visit their living room furniture section and scroll to the bottom of the page you’ll see a three seat black leather couch at the bottom. It’s the leather executive media sectional sofa home theater set. We have a large HDTV. We could get a sofa like that one, put our HDTV in the basement and have a a movie screening room. Yeah, I like that idea.

Would you set up a media room if you could?

I really do like the furniture at this online store. Have a look for yourself, perhaps you’ll find some pieces that you like too. They offer free national delivery too – I think that’s a bonus!
