Need Vendor Recs!

MrsMichiBolooki — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:20:28 GMT

Does anybody know of a vendor that bedazzles things? For example, iphone cases, cake toppers, etc.? I am looking for someone to bedazzle some headphone for my husband since his current ones are breaking.

I have contacted some vendors on etsy, but they are pricey.

If you know of someone that is local, that's even better.

Please let me know!

Thanks :)

Let's share gift ideas!

**la la la** — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:43:39 GMT

Good morning gals,

I just received some catalog wrapping paper that I ordered for a friend's daughter's school fundraiser. It's so pretty and i'm so excited.. but it also has me thinking, What the heck am I getting everyone for christmas??

I thought it would be fun if we could share with each other a great holiday gift that we've found/purchased. I feel so stumped, but i'm sure i'm not the only one.

Got Our Ornament!

Virginny — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:55:03 GMT

I happened to be working from home today (too much to go into the office after an OB appt/internal exam) and the UPS man dropped off a box. Inside was the prettiest pickle ornament from my "Secret Santa", jessi720. I love the pickle!

For those of you who may not know, there is a German tradition of hiding a pickle ornament on the tree and the first child to find it on Christmas morning receives a present. My great Aunt Rosemary has held this tradition for over 50 years and I think her pickle ornament is older than that!

Even though our little one will only be a week or two old this Christmas, I wanted to continue the pickle ornament tradition in our family. And I know that this pickle ornament will be a favorite in our family for many many years. And what's even cooler is that my Secret Santa's family follows the pickle tradition, too!

Thanks to Johanna for setting up the exchange. It's really a lot of fun and helps to get to know some of the other Nesties.

As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. —1 Peter 4:10

Sara Tucholsky, a softball player for Western Oregon University, hit the first home run of her life in a game against Central Washington. But she nearly didn’t get credit for it. As she rounded first base in excitement, she missed it! When she wheeled back to correct her mistake, she injured her knee. Crying, she crawled back to the base. By rule, she had to touch all four bases on her own for the home run to count. Her teammates could not assist her in any way.

Then Mallory Holtman, the first baseman for the opposing team, spoke up. “Would it be okay if we carried her around?” After conferring, the umpires agreed. So Mallory and another teammate made a chair of their hands and carted Sara around the bases. By the time they were through carrying her, many were crying at this selfless act of compassion, and Sara was awarded her home run.

The lesson for followers of Christ is clear. When fellow Christians stumble and fall, we need to follow the example of these ballplayers. Reach out. Lift them up and carry them along. It’s a wonderful opportunity to “minister . . . to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God” (1 Peter 4:10). — David C. Egner

When a fellow Christian stumbles
And he needs some help to stand;
Don’t ignore his circumstances—
Offer him your outstretched hand. —Sper

No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another. —Charles Dickens

Anyone else having issues with tinyurl?

MRSaphrodites — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:25:48 GMT

I can't seem to use it today, and most of pics and siggys that have the tinyurl links just seem to have the red x on them.

Anyone else have these issues, or is it just me?

I was in Ross today and saw a snowglobe version of your siggy. It was super cute! So you know I just had to take a photo lol:

Wedding pic + Xmas card?

muddilicious — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:21:00 GMT

Hmmm, we just got our pro pics back. What do you think about (a) making a Holiday card incorporating a wedding photo, or (b) sending a 4*6 picture from our wedding with our non personalized holiday card?

TIA - I need some help with this one.

New Moon Review! NO Spoilers

EliStar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:06:29 GMT

I saw an advance screening of New Moon last night and, much to my delight, it was 1000 X better than Twilight! The acting has improved, the effects are great, CGI was pretty good, character development is on point, it just looks like a bigger, better movie overall. I was completely satisfied.

I connected with the characters much more in this movie. I cried during the breakup scene, held my breath at this pivotal moments between Bella and Jacob (even though you already know how that pans out), was at the edge of my seat through the whole finale in Italy... It's just a whole new experience. Best of all, they stay religiously close to the book. You will not be pissed off at any side-winding plots or changes to the story.

And I GUARANTEE. If you were ever Team Edward before, after this movie you will certainly be Team Jacob!!!

So. Hot. He is seriously dreamy.

Can't wait to hear what the rest of you think after tonight's premiere! I'll be there in my New Moon shirt with the rest of my Twi-hard clan!
