Mosaic Glass Tiles

Posted by Santi on April 29, 2013 Comments Off

It seems that Judy’s hubby who she just recently married as is now living out in the boonies of Wisconsin, has gotten Judy into the remodeling mode for her own home. They have just recently moved into a house left to her by her late uncle, she fixed it up just enough so that they could move in to and now wants to go the next step further.

The first room is going to be her bath and she emailed some really cool pics and links that are just awesome. One site has a nice selection of hand painted porcelain sinks with just a splash of a little Mexican flair, that are just gorgeous, Judy and I both then fell in love with the glass tile products at another website as well and now she is definitely going for the beautiful glass mosaic tiles that we both agreed on there. It seems that I am involved with more of the choices then her hubby has been.  LOL

Judy’s mother had told her about Edenmosaictile.com, seems she had run across this website while she had been looking for some unique glass tiles for their outside pool area. Judy’s mom did have some lovely decorative ceramic tile work done that is so vibrant and beautifully colored, I’ve seen the pictures of course, thank goodness for the Internet so that we can share such goodies so easily.

Yakima Bicycle Racks

Posted by Santi on April 26, 2013 Comments Off

Trying to figure out which type of car rack to purchase to transport my bicycle back and forth wasn’t has big of a deal as I first thought. The yakima racks have gotten my attention and I’m anxious to go ahead and place my order. The weather is just going to get hotter and hotter as the days go by and the humidity always takes it toll on me each summer, so I need to get my butt in gear and get on my bicycle while we can enjoy the wonderful spring weather that has finally arrived.

There are plenty of bike trails around here, but they are too far away for me to ride my bike to, so it’s important to get the perfect rack for my car to help me get myself and my bike. I’ve seen some pretty interesting bike racks before, but never thought that I would be in the market for one for myself.

Kitchen Wall Spice Racks

Posted by Santi on April 8, 2013 Comments Off

I’ve decided to go ahead with my first plan of buying my mother a spice rack for Mother’s Day which will be here real soon. Her old wall spice rack fell and broke into a million pieces a few months ago, what a mess that was! Now I don’t proclaim to know a whole heck of a lot about spice racks, but I’ve been taking a bit of time and looking around online and I’ve seen a few kitchen spice racks that I think she would welcome into her kitchen.

My mother is one of the best cooks around and she really depends on her spices. I’m not sure why she hasn’t replaced the broken one, except that maybe she knew it would be a good gift idea for someone to get for her on the numerous gift giving occasions, much like I plan to do for Mother’s Day. My mother is a hard one to buy presents for, so this is the perfect opportunity for me to get her something that she really needs and hopefully will use for a very, very long time to come.

Checking Out The Camp Lejune Homes For Sale

Posted by Santi on March 20, 2013 Comments Off

Men are hard to buy gifts for, so I’m always on the look out for gift giving ideas all year round. Hubby enjoys a good cigar now and then and I do so enjoy the smell of a good pipe or cigar, as long as I’m not stuck in a car with one with the windows all closed up tight with no ventilation. That happened to me one day, as a kid. I took a trip to North Carolina to check out camp lejune homes for sale with my best friend and her family, a long drive in normal conditions. When her father lite up a cigar only a few hours after leaving and left the windows up, it made for a very long drive, the whole while I was wishing and praying that he would open up a window or two for the non-smokers that were all crammed together in the back seat.

Cuban Cigars are the most sought after cigars by my husband and on occasion I will find a good deal on them and pick them up for him. Since Father’s Day will be here soon I have started my search early this year and have turned to the Internet for help in the search. I have found a good selection to choose from and want to order them before too much longer and then be in a hurry and get stressed out at the last minute.

New Bank

Posted by Santi on March 15, 2013 Comments Off

One of my things on my to do list for this week is to find a new bank; one closer to the house and to the business. The bank we have been dealing with is just too far away from home to make it very convenient to do our banking. With gasoline so high, a 25 mile trip to the bank 3-4 times a week is not very cost efficient, and we need a bank that is closer to where we live and do business. I hate to spend my time in a bank doing business – it is time I will never get back and it serves almost no purpose at all, to anyone except the bank itself.

Thank goodness for PayPal. It has really lessened the burden of having to be running to the bank more than I really realized when I first heard about it and signed myself up with it. They have issued me a debit card, which I am constantly finding myself using and the majority of the decent websites are now accepting PayPal, which is a big plus for me.

I’ve only had one issue with an online purchase and PayPal was all over it for me and made sure I was a happy online shopper once again. If you don’t have a PayPal account you just might want to consider giving them a look-see.
