Freebies And More.
I wasn’t able to search and post freebies as our internet connection was down for 3 days. I guess I missed a lot of freebies. I was also in the process of browsing Christmas gifts for the family so now I’m back to window shopping once again. On my wish list are a mini laptop for me, iphone plus iphone accessories, a new bag probably and something for the camera. I am actually having a hard time looking for gifts for DS as we got most of his wishes already and her aunt is bringing them home next week. DH said that I should just hide most of items and wait till Christmas. As if that’s possible.
Anyway, Faith Sister’s quarterly blog train is up and here are some of the yummy freebies.

Get Together.
I haven’t seen my closest friends for the longest time. We still keep in touch via chat and email though. I was supposed to organize a get -together last year but wasn’t able to do so. I hope this year I can make time for that. A Halloween party will be a lot of fun, especially now that most of us have kids already. I really hope that our friends living abroad can make time for it. I am considering CardsShoppe (http://www.cardsshoppe.com/) to order the invitations. They have a great selection of Halloween Celebrations and Halloween Party Invitations.
I really do want to have Halloween Party Invitations as think that will make it more fun. I am eyeing their Halloween Costume Invitations. But really all the cards are nice, I can settle for any Halloween Invitation from them. I should scratch the Party Invitations Halloween from my to-do list now. And even my announcements, greeting cards and holidays cards are taken cared of.

About Halloween.
My son’s school celebrates Halloween. As a mom, I try to take part in the school’s activities. So I signed up for the Party Committee. Come Holidays or any other special events in school, parents meet to discuss the program, activities and all other things needed. Since I am more of the crafty type, I would usually volunteer to do the Invitations, Announcements or anything art-related.
I am a bit busy lately so I am in the lookout for Halloween Party Invitations. I am thinking of ordering these invitations instead of making them myself. I came across these New Styles Trends Halloween Invitations at CardsShoppe (http://www.cardsshoppe.com).
They offer tons of invitations, Greeting Cards, Party Invitations Halloween, Thank You Cards and a lot more. What is nice about them is I can view my Halloween Invitation BEFORE I buy with their patented Instant Preview Features. Plus they will proof emailed to me within ONE hour during the business day and I can make unlimited changes at no additional cost. Really a good deal, isn’t it?

Fashion Polls.
I am never fashionable. I try to be but I always tend to go with whatever’s more safe and simple. Aside from that, I am not so quick to make decisions. Let say I saw something at the mall. It will take me days and even weeks to decide if I should get the item or not. More often than not, the moment I decide to purchase the item, it will no longer be available. It’s just sad. But decisions just don’t come easy to me, especially if the budget is tight and it is a must that I choose the most reasonable.
I just came across this Fashion Polls and I got this really wonderful idea. Through the site, I can create my own fashion poll. In that way, I can see what item is preferred by more people thereby helping me make a better decision. I tried some of the polls in there and it was fun seeing the results, most especially when I was able to choose the one that was chosen by most people. It’s like an affirmation that I am not that bad and maybe a little knowledgeable when it comes to fashion. Try it and create your own poll. It is fun.
Watch Me.
DH’s birthday is coming up real soon. As always, he does not want anything for himself on that day. We are probably just going to eat out. It’s a weekday so we are bringing DS to school first then we will have lunch out afterwards and probably go malling in the afternoon. I already got him a watch a few months back. We also got a compact flash for the new camera he is planning to purchase. So I thought of putting back to life his favorite watch. He hasn’t worn the watch for a long time already because its band broke. We searched the mall for an appropriate strap but we didn’t find any. So I searched the net for that elusive band and found exactly what I need at WatchStyle.co.uk. They have a wide selection of straps from leather straps, to metal straps, to sports straps. There are bands that are 100m water-resistant and even sauna-tested. Plus there are also bands with HIRSCH No Allergy system. Their stainless steel collection comes in matte or shiny, classic and elegant designs and a mix of different materials. They likewise offer various accessories such as watch cases or boxes, buckles for leather watch bands, deployants, spring bars and batteries. How I wish I would have come across this site sooner.
Some Good Thoughts.
Sharing some good thoughts I came across today.
“It is never too late — in fiction or in life — to revise.”
- Nancy Thayer
“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.”
- Buddha
“Do what you feel in your heart to be right — for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.”
- Eleanor Roosevelt
“The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.”
- Lost In Translation
“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.”
- Anne Frank

About The House.
I have always been interested in anything about the home. I am subscribed to tons of blogs about home, interior design and the likes and I truly enjoy going through each and every blog. I love learning new ideas for the house, discovering a new gadget and finding new inspirations.
I recently came across Charles Neal Interiors and I spent a lot time going through the site. I went through the portfolio and I was impressed and even inspired to have our home renovated as well. The portfolio was impressive, it includes personal homes of popular pop artists and musical writers. They offer several custom design services like furniture layout, kitchen and bath design, lighting and artwork and more. I can only dream that the group can redesign our humble home.
