There have been some very disturbing emails being circulated recently and my husband decided it would be neat to get my reaction to one of them. It is supposed to be cute and it says the phrase “my kids are not that bad” or something to that affect. Then it has about ten very disturbing images of somebody’s kid, who have done really disgusting things to their bodies. This is not just a picture of a kid with a tattoo or body piercing. These are your most-extreme, shocking kids who look like a walking tattoo gallery or body piercing shop. I just can’t look at some of these people because it makes me sad that they had to go to such extremes to feel ok with themselves.

Not many people know how big of a market children’s art is becoming. Art used to be only for adults, but with technology it is hard to pass up some of the brilliant pieces being made by children under 10 years old. Starting at as young as 2 we are seeing kids wall art being sold at auction, and being hung all over the world. I’m not sure if the pieces are actually good, but somebody does. I guess there are art prodigies out there, I just wouldn’t know the difference between a smudge on the paper, or a true masterpiece.

I went to a big show in Chicago the other day that completely blew me away. Me and some friends decided to take my best friend Gabe on a bachelors party. We first went to play video games. Which sounds a bit childish, but we had a blast. The second thing we did was go out and get some drinks. And the last thing we did was go to a concert. We had planned to take Gabe there because it was his favorite band. The end of the show came with a bang of a very large Chinese Gong. I had never seen something like that before.

If you are planning a wedding anytime soon, you are likely overcome with all the planning details you need to square away.  The big planning items are the date, the church and where to hold a reception.  But once you get past that, there are still a lot of loose ends to tie up.  For starts there are invitations, wedding favors, cake toppers (yes, you’ll need to order that wedding cake soon), guest books and all sorts of wedding accessories.  Beyond that there are gifts - so very many gifts.  Gifts for the bridesmaids, groomsmen and other attendants and wedding party members.  Why it will all drive you crazy if you let it.  But don’t! 

I recently found a one stop great wedding store that carries memorable products for giving that meets all my needs - maybe yours too.  EyeCandyGift.com is the best online wedding store I’ve found.  They make everything easy to find and have great prices.  Check them out today.

There is a wide variety of ethnic musical instruments found in Asia. Asia is considered to have the most interesting history. The gong, a metallic musical instrument that takes the form of a flat metal disc hit with a mallet, is an ever present tool and a witness to this wonderful history. Gongs are generally used in ceremonies in temples and practically any occasion that bears weight on any nation or group of people. The resonating bang of the gong calls forth the attention for miles. The sound of the gong is loud enough to hear from up to 50 miles away. In households, gongs are used to signal that visitors are coming. They are usually found at the entryway and are considered to bring fortune and strength to the family.

As a newlywed serving in the armed forces we did not have lot of money to purchase new furniture. We had a little money that we had received as wedding presents and that went for a bed and a refrigerator. Not many blocks from where we lived was used furniture store. They had a lot of furniture that had been well used and showed the marks of time. Although I did not know much about furniture refinishing I thought I could learn it for what it would save me to do it myself. I learned to strip the old furnish, remove dents and scratches and finally how to refinish the furniture for every room in our home.

I have found that not only fairy tattoos but moon and start tattoos too have joined the list of feminine tattoos. Ladies are now getting spoiled for choice and they dont have to get a fairy tattoo designs if they dont want to.

Girls used to love fairy tattoos and earlier if a girl had a tattoo I could easily guess that it was going to be a fairy tattoo. Now, I think that its going to be different. I would have a lot of difficulty in guessing the type of tattoo a girl has. Oh, what am I gonna do now.

 So, go for it girls . Now you have the choice and are ready for anything.
