What’s in a name?
As Shakespeare’s ill-fated heroine Juliet declared,
“That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”
I doth agree Miss Capulet, but artwork personalized with that which we call your name is even sweeter.
Frame Your Name with Personalized Name Art from Frames by Mail for a gift that has their name written all over it.

I’m crafty.
Allow me to clarify. I am not by any stretch of the imagination considered a deceitful, underhanded, cunning or sly person. I am crafty in the literal arts and crafts sense of the word. I paint, I Photoshop, I stencil, I sew, I quilt. If you can think it, I can craft it.
I didn’t score my Creative Director title for being anti-crafty.
I’ve been working diligently on my granddaughter’s quilt that will be completed any day now, so I’ll need a new crafting project to keep my idle hands busy. Thankfully, I just found a new crafting wonder that will keep me occupied for hours on end – the KraftyBlok craft block from Delphi Glass.

My three kids are the apples of my eye, the jewels in my crown, the lights of my life…
I love them and I love decorating and lighting up my home with designer lighting fixtures, so why not combine my two passions with these Giclée Art Lamp Shades from LAMPS PLUS?
Seriously, they’ll take my favorite photos of my offspring and make gorgeous custom lamps out of them.
Now my kids will always have it made in the shade.
Teapot, teapot, wherefore art thou teapot?
O! Where’st have I puteth my teapot filled with traditional English Earl Grey tea? I thinketh I doth have another teapot somewhere within my humble cottage by the sea, but would a spot of tea poured by any other teapot taste as sweet?
I thinketh not.
And…scene.
If you fancy all things English, you’ll fancy the English Tea Store’s collection of James Sadler teapots featuring the likeness of our beloved Bard, William Shakespeare.

A few months or so ago I woke up to the sounds of my daughter screaming bloody murder outside. I ran out to see who was removing her limbs with a chainsaw and found a massacred duck on our back patio. Now there have been recent bear spottings in our city, so she was more than a little alarmed… and a little green. I’m a bit of a prankster, so I realized this was a perfect opportunity to scare the living bejeezies out of her.
I picked up a buffalo cranium, a lion skull and a few other cool animal artifacts from the Museum Store Company to set the scene. Tonight, the bear will strike again.
Frankly Scarlett, I don’t give a damn about the economy.
It’s been a bad fiscal year for me and all of my fellow Americans. I’ve lost an exorbitant amount of money in only a few short months, and I’m only a few transactions away from selling all of my clothes on Ebay and coming to work wearing a barrel. I’m through with 401K’s, IRA’s and all that other financial mumbo jumbo. From now on I’m only investing in priceless collectibles, like my nice jugs.
Not those kinds of jugs (although my other jugs are pretty captivating too, according to my boyfriend). I have an amazing collection of Royal Doulton Toby jugs, mugs, figurines and collectibles that are going to be worth millions one day.
Hopefully sooner than later.
I don’t cry.
I didn’t cry when I learned there was no Santa, I didn’t cry during any of my excruciating knee surgeries, and I certainly didn’t cry after reading the last Harry Potter book. But I did cry on September 21st when the Yankees beat the Orioles during their last game at Yankee Stadium. At least I can cherish those last memories with one of these priceless, commemorative Yankee Stadium Pictures from Legends of the Field.

My kids don’t always listen to me, so sometimes I need a little extra help. After 13 years my son still didn’t know where the laundry hamper was. I found his dirty underwear and socks everywhere. Then I enlisted the help of Wall Words. With their aid I was able to put up a Decorative Wall Quote reminding my son where to drop his drawers.

Leslie and I have our Labrador Link, Trish has her Black Lab Jenna, Jody has a Silkypoo named Marley and Samara has Zoey the killer Cairn, plus a fake dog on her desk named Molly.
