A Christmas Wish from my beloved friend, Wes.

Get Free Christmas Music!

Yes, FREE.

Amazon is offering 25 Days of free music. Log on every day to find out what new free song has been added. I just found out about this offer today. Day 15! The good news is that I can download all the songs that are shown for free. I picked out a few -- well, more than a few -- and downloaded them to iTunes on my MacBook. With the down-loader offered on Amazon, this is an easy process.

Here is the link to Amazon's 25 Days of Free Holiday Music: 25 Days of Christmas

What did I download? A songs by Dan Fogelberg, Andreas Vollenweider, Chanticleer, Manheim Steamroller, Little and Ashley, Point of Grace and Fleet Foxes.

What free mp3 downloads did I not choose to put on my Christmas Music Playlist? Your Holiday Song by the Indigo Girls; Winter Games by Superchunk, Oh Come All Ye Faithful by Abandon Kansas, Auld Lang Syne by Chris Issak, Time of the Season performed by Isobel
Campbell and Mark Lanegan. Other songs not to my personal taste: Punk Rawk Christmas by MXPX and a song by Shelby Lynne. Just because I did not put them on my list, it does not mean you will not like these Holiday songs. Go give them a look and see if you can find something to get you in the Christmas Spirit.

Well, my sorority is having our Christmas Party this Saturday at 11 AM. I get to bring mimosas! It should be a lot of fun as we will be finding out who our "secret sister" has been for the last year. We draw names in January for a new secret "pal". This year, instead of bring a gift the month of or secret pal's birthday, we decided to have one big "birthday" party in July when everyone brings their pal a gift. Then at the Christmas party, we bring that same pal a present and tell her our name. It will be so much fun.

This year I wrote an article on Squidoo about my search for the perfect gift for my secret sister. We are only supposed to spend between $15 - $20. Please visit Secret Pal Gifts Under $20 to find out what wonderful presents I discovered.

"Unique "Chin Family" Gifts For Your Home" on Squidoo: "-

Discovered these unique gifts inspired by the National Palace Museum in Taipei while surfing the web. The "Chin Family" is just too adorable for words. If you are looking for a unique and useful gift idea this holiday season, these items just might fit the bill.

Mickie_G's Zazzle

Just created a "Showcase" on Squidoo for my Zazzle shop.

I am curious about how it will help drive traffic to my shop on Zazzle, "Always Changing".

I love vintage images -- especially those that are black and white -- and try to find unique designs to use on greeting cards, magnets, t-shirts, invitations etc....

One image that I found is from an old advertisement for diamonds. I found a way to use it for wedding products (save the date cards, t-shirts for wedding party, stickers, magnets, etc).

The first card I created used the vintage image below:

I plan on ordering this card myself to send out at Thanksgiving!


I would love for you to visit my shop and let me know what you think of the designs I have found.

PS: I also use photos that have been taken by my family.

With Labor Day BBQs looming on the near horizon, I thought I would share an article I wrote for Squidoo a few weeks ago for a RocketMoms Assignment.

My mother used to make Pineapple Coleslaw for most family gatherings at holidays. This recipe is especially good with barbecued meat of any kind. Just click the title of this post to go visit this recipe--plus two other slaw recipes that you might enjoy.

Have a safe and joyous Labor Day.
