Comments (3)I have a fiskars shape cutter with the templates (heart, circle, square, star, and oval and I love it. I also have an eyelet setter and with that you need the mat and the hammer, I have a big fiskars embossing thing (which I really need to start using more) I have some embossing punches and for my birthday I just got an alphabet punch set. For Christmas I have asked for a sizzix side kick with diecuts. I also have to different size paper cutters, which I actually find I use my big one more Gel pens, stickers, pop dots, are all other things I use also....See MoreNeeds, introduced perceived needs, culture,
Comments (108)One other thing that I have noticed, since there are no fences. is that these houses (the majority mid-century) are built to look smaller than they are. Although they are ranches and ramblers for the most part, there is a lot of space tucked under deep roofs that are fenestrated only on the back, the house may be L shaped or T shaped or U shaped. The house may have another story that walks out on a grade below the front yard. My parents colonial revival, two story with a one story ell from the street, is really a 3 story by 2-1/2 story because of a full walkout level in back, and the house is close to square. Its actually Much roomier than it appears from the street. Compare this to the late nineties center hall colonial revival my sister rents that sits high on the lot with an imposing porch (some have a large palladian center window as well)--and the size is all an illusion: Its not a big house. Its all facade, the garage is 40 % of the house and the house is relatively flat front to back. The front door barely misses the steep front steps to the second floor. We have really switched from houses that hug their environment and try to reduce their true scale to erect houses that puff up their true scale....See MoreGiving them what they want vs. what you want
Comments (14)Brain Age is a great game. So it's a smart choice. I have a 14 y/d son and I would not expect grandparents to spend that much on our kids. If they got a electronic game, it would be from us. My parents now send my teenager giftcards for clothes, since it's impossible to shop for a teenager's clothes. He has an ipod and they have also sent him giftcards to use online to download music. The Christmas I was 16 my grandmother made a doll for me. She hand-painted the porcelain face and hands and HANDstitched the body and dress, a white Christening gown. No sewing machine, her hands were on every stitch, you can see them all neat and tidy. I remember my mother asking if I was disappointed, a doll isn't the top of most 16 y/o's wish lists and it wasn't on mine. But I was so surprised, and so in awe that she did THAT for ME, and at how long it must have taken her to do that. My grandmother told me she knew I was too old to play with dolls, that's why I was getting it then, so I would appreciate it. I still have it, I won't let my 8 y/o DD more than look at it. ;o) But she will have it someday. It has to be the single Christmas gift I remember and treasure more than any other. My grandmother passed away three years after she gave me that doll. That's just my story. Made me think of it. It's not meant to make a point about giving or receiving gifts. It's just a memory I'm sharing....See Moreboymom23
