Hi, Dee! Thanks for joining FAB Bloggers. I love your idea about children's fashions for Spring '09. I for one would love a preview...lol. Feel free to start a discussion on that. I'm sure lots of women- like me- love shopping for their children even more than themselves! :)
Thanks for being a part of Cocktails & Stilettos...
Cocktail of the Week: Pumpkintini
1 graham cracker, crushed into fine crumbs
Ice cubes
1 ½ ounces rum
3 tablespoons pumpkin pie filling
½ ounce maple liqueur
½ ounce half-and-half
Place the graham cracker crumbs on a small plate. Wet the rim of a chilled martini glass and dip into the crumbs to coat. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the rum, pumpkin pie filling, maple liqueur and half-and-half. Shake, then strain into the martini glass.
By the way, do you draw, paint, take photos, etc? How about the kids? Looking for original art for Art Cards for Soldiers!
Soldiers serving abroad have many needs, but one of the ones that comes at the top of their wish list, are cards to send home to their loved ones. Most soldiers are serving in remote locations with little available in the way of luxuries or basics like writing materials. This gives the soldiers a way to celebrate the occasions they’re missing.
Rather than shop the isles at Hallmark, we have called in the favors of artist friends and are providing beautiful, original art cards made especially
for them, to theses brave and wonderful men and women as our way of saying
thanks.
We’ll send these to any active service member through eMail our Military, and soon you’ll be able to purchase a set to have sent by MOM to a deserving soldier or you can purchase them for your own use! We’re so excited to be providing these beautiful art cards to people who deserve only the best for sacrificing so much - time away from the ones they love.
How can you help? We need your original art scanned and sent to us or one card that we can scan. All the details are on the site (see below) or email if you have questions.
Special thanks to the artists for sharing their amazing talents and eMail our Military for supporting this effort.
Visit the ART CARDS FOR SOLDIERS site to see the artwork already donated and for details and PLEASE PASS THIS ON! It would make a great kid project - Scouts, Church, etc.
