Select Comfort

Adam and I traveled to Cincinnati to visit his family, and our fantastic friends over Christmas.
Adam is very tall, so we have a California King sized Select Comfort Bed - which we bring with us. Let me tell you, there's nothing better than being able to sleep in your own bed while traveling.

When I tell people about this, most don't believe that we can fit a California King sized Select Comfort Bed in the back of our Honda CRV. Here's the proof:

BEFORE, (The back seat is UP):
After (Including 2 body pillows, 2 cervical pillows, along with the bedding):
The way Adam packs it, we can still see out the back window! BRILLIANT!

Peace & Blessings!

PS - We love our Select Comfort so much, EVERY NIGHT for almost 7 years, we say "I LOVE THIS BED!"

Happy 1 Year Blogoversary

1 year ago today, I started this blog! My intention a year ago was:

"On this joyous New Year’s Eve I have released what is no longer serving me, and have written out my goals for 2007. What fun! In my goals list I stated my intention to begin a blog where I can post my creations and musings."

Thank you for reading my blog! Thank you for posting comments! Thank you for being a part of my life!

Peace & Blessings!

Snowmen Everywhere

Just for fun....

Peace & Blessings!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas

Keurig Goodness & Surprises!

Yesterday, I posted about our FABULOUS new Keurig home brewer! (See below)

Later in the day yesterday, Dave Manly the VP of Marketing for Keurig, posts a comment on my blog post (again, see below and click on comments). It was a surprise to me, but an effective and brilliant marketing tool. I think I've told no less than 20 people in under 24 hours about the comment he left on my blog. I'm mean, seriously, what a great way to positively reinforce the new edition or our kitchen! Brilliant - Dave Manly - hats off to you! (One of my quiet loves is - marketing - so this really got my juices flowing)

Fast forward to today, and I check my blog, and I have yet another comment - from Joe Simonovich, Co-Founder, shoffee.com. At this point, I am laughing! This is seriously FANTASTIC marketing! And guess what I did - I went to his website - as I'm sure you just did, or are about to. And, what did I find, my most favorite thing so far (with my 2 day old new toy) is the Green Mountain Hot Cocoa - and you know what.... it's CHEAPER than on CoffeeCow.com . AND, Coffee Cow - you get free shipping on orders of $75 or more, but on Shoffee you get free shipping on orders of $60 or more.

Hhhhmmmm, I wonder which site I'll be shopping on? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight - this is a no brainer!

Now, I'm waiting with baited breath - who next, and from what company - will post to my blog?

And on a different note - but still dealing with the Keurig:
Adam had an idea. We are about to embark on a 700 mile car trip - and Adam wants to get an AC adapter, so we can take the Keurig with us, and brew while on the go! HA HA HA!

I'll keep you posted, if we actually do that or not. Still, the idea is HILARIOUS!

Peace & Blessings & Brilliant Marketing!

I Love Our New Keurig!

This morning, Adam and I leaped out of bed, because we both were so eager to use our new toy!

I brewed hot chocolate:
And... it's sooooooooo smooth.......... Delicious!

Peace & Blessings & SQUEALS & HAPPY DANCING!

I am OVERWHELMED!

One of my girlfriends just gave us our Christmas gift:

I am overwhelmed! Adam is overwhelmed! I was squealing. Adam was doing the guy thing (picture men standing around a hot car); standing back, admiring the box, looking at our friend, admiring the box, yes, he too, was truly overwhelmed!

To our friend - THANK YOU!

Peace & Blessings!

PS - She also hooked us up with this and this for the car trip! SHE ROCKS!

Shoveling Out

We woke up this morning to MORE SNOW:


Our jacuzzi is buried!


Peace & Blessings

I Love Her!

I've wanted to try a few different techniques for making snow babies. I just love how she came out:

Instead of coating the inside of the ornament with white paint, I sponged on the paint to the outside - creating a cool texture. I did 2 coats of paint - let them both dry throughly, and did the rest as usual. I think she's super cute!

Peace & Blessings!

Christmas Preparations

I've spent most of this weekend working on finishing up Christmas preparations - ie: gifts.

I had a MAJOR project planned: gifts I was going to make EVERYONE on my list, and I found out this morning, that it won't work! So, I had to make some new decisions, and I'm feeling a little behind.

Of course I want to post photos - but I can't, as that would ruin the surprise. So, I'm just going to tease you that I've been working on some really elegant gifts for people this year. Even Adam said "WOW" when I showed him.

Until after Christmas.....

Peace & Blessings!

Winter Wonderland

I woke up this morning to this:

We had our first real snowstorm yesterday. Now we have the joy of clean up - just for a possible nor'easter to come through Saturday / Sunday.

Peace & Blessings!

Mount Katahdin

My brother took this photo of Mount Katahdin in Maine. Nice!
