Favorite Find - For Hair

It's Favorite Find Time!  Are you ready?

This is a product that I read about a few months ago, tried and have been using it ever since.  It's Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner.

And I love it!

Why is that you ask?

Well, first of all, the bottle design is ingenious!  The conditioner comes out of the bottom of the bottle just by giving it a light squeeze.  There is no top to pop off and put back on - after you have conditioner in your hand.  Just lightly squeeze and then place it back on the shelf!  EASY!

But really, I like it for how soft and manageable it makes my hair.  Great stuff.  And it smells really yummy too.  Just a little bit does a lot of work.  And the price ain't all that bad either.  Give it a try and see what you think . . .



Music Monday - Wrong in the Right Ways

I am so in love with the new song by Pink.  I've enjoyed her music over the years, but man this song is just plain fun!  I mean you cannot help tapping your toe to the beat, not to mention the desire to just start singing along.  I think that the lyric - "Raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways" is destined to become a favorite for years to come.  And really, that sums up Pink - she tends to not take herself to seriously and laugh at all the "stupidity" of celebrities.  This is a great rebellious song.  Enjoy listening to it on the Music Monday pick of the week section to the right.

And, I must apologize for missing updating Music Monday last week - I kept waiting for my brother Kelly to give me a hard time about it.  He seems to enjoy seeing which song I have singled out for the pick of the week.  But, he also knew - as I'm pretty sure most of you out there did not - I was sick last week with a winter cold that wiped me out pretty good.  So, I'm sorry for the delay and hopefully you didn't mind having such a great song as 100 years on for two weeks instead of one.

And Another One Goes Down

Or at least off the list!  Woohoo!  It feels so good to be taking things off that "To Make" list I started the other day. 

Today, it was making these really fun home decor items.  And please don't hate me, but I cannot share them yet.  I'm giving them to my family this year for their Christmas gifts.  And since I do have some family members as readers, I just cannot bring myself to share them with you.  I will however share it before the holidays are over! 

I "borrowed" the idea from Diana, who "borrowed" the idea from Tiffany, I think?  I'm hoping I got the name right.  Sorry if I did not.  And, I have to tell you, it was so much easier to make than I thought it might be.  I completed five projects tonight in less than an hour.  And the best part, I was able to work on it at the kitchen table with the rest of the family there as well.  So, I wasn't holed up in my craft room working away.  It was nice.

And since I cannot share that project, I thought I would share some pieces of another holiday project I've been working on this month.



 Round and Round



The Face

I also have a website for my photography work and this year have vowed to create and present holiday themed images during December.  I have been having a really great time shooting and working on these images, and thought you might enjoy seeing what else I do with my time.  If you like what you see, visit my photosite and sign up for the daily photo email.

Well, this girl is going to bed to get some reading before it's lights out.  Feeling pretty tired from all the fun work today - and really, I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings - and how many more items I get to cross off that list!

I Got To Remove One From My List!

And boy did that feel good!!!  But then my OCD kicked in and feels the need to fill the empty spot from where I removed the Idea Book from my list that I showed you yesterday.  When will it ever end?  At least it's an ongoing list of fun things to do - and not something terrible like clean the toilet.





Okay, okay, so I found a moment of time this evening after dinner and was able to finally sprinkle on some glitter.  Let me back up just a little bit.

I found an old sketch book that was practically new.  I took a computer art class many years ago.  The very first thing that the instructor had us do was get a sketch book and "carry it with us to be sketching all the time".  Well, I bought the book and I think I attempted to sketch a few things before I said forget this and promptly dropped the class.  You see, I cannot for the life of me sketch anything!  I have never really understood the need for sketching when you are dealing the photography.  I mean I'm not going to go out and sketch a shot I would like to take before I take it.  That would be a little strange.

I have decided to put this book to good use.  I collect images.  I always have.  I collect them and use them for inspiration.  Now, I have a home for those little images that I cut out of magazines.  You know a pair of shoes that I like, or color combinations that look good, or soft lighting that I would like to try in a photograph someday.  Now, they will all go in my brand new Idea Book.  Yeah!

And, this project used several items from my newly reformed hoarding ways.  Two birds with one stone . . . or some such thing.

It has already taken up residence on top of a file cabinet next to my desktop file organizer.  I love it and cannot wait to start putting in some great ideas.
