Ladies, Bring out your inner diva

by Tricia

Are you a Diva or are you a Diva wanna be?

No I’m not talking about the type of woman who thinks everyone should kiss her feet, and throws tantrums when she doesn’t get her way. No. I’m talking about stylish women who keep up with the latest trends in fashion, who want to know where to find the newest designs and accessories and often know just what fashion trend is about to hit.

By reading The Diva’s Dreams by Belisi blog you can certainly be well on your way to becoming a trendsetting Diva. The blog is full of information about hot designers, styles that are making a comeback, as well as articles about food and wine, interior design and entertaining. It covers everything that you might want to know in an easy to read manner. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this new Belisi site.

I redecorate when it’s too cold to garden

by Tricia

Now that it’s cool outside and we can’t be in our gardens do your thoughts begin to focus on the inside of your home? Mine do. At least in December, January and February as it’s too early to really begin thinking of even starting seedlings, the only things that I do plant or garden wise during those months is maintain my houseplants and the plants that I’ve brought in from outdoors.

That leaves plenty of time for me to think about home renovations- of which we are deep into these days. This weekend our tin ceiling will go up in our living room dining room!

I also think about decor.

This is the time of year when I move furniture around to give a room a different look, or buy new furnishings to replace old and worn furniture or again to renew a rooms look.

Some of you might have kids that are growing older and might begin to think of redecorating their rooms, perhaps buying some kids furniture. One site that you might want to look at while you search for furnishings for your living room/ dining room, bedrooms or kids rooms might be www.greatpricedfurniture.com.

As the sites domain name implies they have great prices on their furniture and more importantly some very nicely styled furnishings. The link that I’ve listed above is for childrens furniture and if you visit the link you’ll see some very nice dressers, chairs, nightstands and beds. I like that some of their furniture designs for kids are smaller versions of adult style furniture. Kids like fun stuff but as they grow older they also like to have things that are similar to what their parents and other older family members have. Purchasing furniture designs such as these is one way of telling your child that they are maturing.

Have a look at the site and see what you think of all their furniture designs. I’m sure you’ll agree that they have some quality products.

Give sloppy kisses to your loved ones

by Tricia

Now here’s a site that I think might be of interest to my readers. Are you a dog lover? I bet you are, and if you’re not I’m sure you know some people that just adore dogs of all types.

The site is called Sloppy Kiss Cards. I love that name, don’t you? It’s perfect for the site considering that it’s a site that has animated Ecards for dog lovers. Get it? The site has over 35 dog breeds to select from and you can even name the dog that stars in the card that you create.

You can browse the site and have fun picking out dogs and cards and creating cards but you need to sign up for a membership to actually send a card to a friend or loved one.

I played with creating card and I just loved the card I created. I choice a dachshund that looked exactly like one that brother used to have, choose the name Sammy because that’s what that’s dog name was and made a card for my husband. I picked the I love you card. It showed the dog on the beach, near a billboard that said I luv you, with office buildings in the background that’s lights spelled out I love you and so on. It was really cute. At least my husband got to see the card when I made it.

Since there is no advertising on the site, the site gets its funding through membership. Membership only costs $9.95 for a year and once you are a member you can send an unlimited number of cards. A portion of the membership fees will go to support Petfinder.com.

I love this site. Please do check this out if you are a dog lover and let me know if you agree that its a fantastic find.
