A musical gift

by

I need to buy a gift for my friends son. I’m trying to think of what to buy him. I’m not always the best with buying gifts unless I really know someone well. Are you like that or do you think you pretty much get it right every time?

I know that my friends son is very interested in music. Not just listening to music but playing it as well. He already has a guitar and even drums. I know that last year he was playing harmonica quite often so maybe I’ll check out the harmonicas guitar center and see if I can find a nice harmonica for him. I wish I knew what key his other harmonicas were in so I could get one he doesn’t have.

A gift for a musician

by

It’s time to put on my thinking cap and come up with a fantastic birthday gift for one of my friends. It’s his birthday in two weeks and I want to get him a gift that he’ll really enjoy.

Think think think … Hmmmm well I know my friend is a musician. So is my husband, and my husband is aware of most of the musical instruments and equipment that he has but it seems that he might need a digital recorder. I was looking at various types and I’ve almost settled on getting him a marantz brand. My husband says they’re very good.

Other than that … hmmm I don’t think he needs anything else musical instrument wise. I’ll have to keep thinking. Any suggestions?

A crafty relative

by

My niece is visiting from New Brunswick and she’s staying at my sisters house for a few days.

She’s just started her own home business making all kinds of craft items -everything from hair clips to fancy dog collars to home made soaps and so on. I don’t even know the extent of what she makes but there’s all kinds of things. I don’t even know where she finds the time to it all. She’s always posting new pictures on her Facebook page of new items she’s just made.

Anyway, the other day I called my sister and my niece was busy making some kind of no sew blanket. My sister explained how she was doing it, but I think I’d have to see it to really understand – but it sounds cool. The floor was apparently covered with material, bead, yarn and all her crafting tools. I’m surprised my sisters cats didn’t get into any of the stuff that was scattered about!

The Christmas gift I got for my niece has everything to do with her craft business. I hope she likes it.

Do you have a crafty person in your family as well?

I still have Christmas shopping to do

by

Ah – I can’t believe it, I still have tons of Christmas shopping to do. I don’t know about you guys, but I really don’t love going out there into the crowded busy malls to shop at this time of year. It’s just too crazy.

Obviously I’m still going to have to do some shopping in stores, but luckily it’s still early enough in the month that I can do a little shopping online if I can find some gift ideas for the people on my list. For example, one of my friends lives in a rural area and she’s always complaining about her cellphone service. She has a lot of trouble getting reception so .. I found this wilson cellular booster online and I’m thinking about getting her one. I’m sure it would help make her cellphone work better for her when she’s at home.

Ok .. time to start browsing online for gifts … How about you, are you all caught up on your shopping or are you still checking people off your list too?

Just got an invite to a great Halloween party

by

Every few years my friend likes to throw a wild Halloween party. She just sent out the party invitations and I just received mine. This is one party we won’t miss!

Now … all I need to do is decide what I’m going to make for the party – I always make something very creatively edible and two … decide what kind of costume to wear oh and I suppose what kind of costume my husband might want to wear too.

Hmmm maybe something like this sexy maid costume but I have a feeling it might a little too cold around here by then for something like that! At least I have a little bit of time to think about it.

Do you go to Halloween parties? Do you dress up?
