My new years resolution is to strengthen my relationship with the people i know and love, and with those i will meet in the future and playing games.That is all encompassing for being healthy in body, mind, and spirit.. to spread love amongst those that are important in my life.

I love to write letters and i am starting to write it in a new year. I know that this work is interrupting me in my office work but it's my passion.

Hello,
I am interested in finding a job in the San Antonio location.
I have some retail experience. Please e-mail me if there are any job openings in the near future.
Thanks! :)
The new year is quickly approaching, and if you are like me, you are going to have a couple of defunct calendars on your hands soon! I’m always at a loss of what to do with them, since I usually like the pictures so much! This year however, I am looking forward to turning my old calendars into envelopes and notecards! Both Mara Rivet at Thrifty Fun and Kelli on There is No Place Like Home have really cute and easy tutorials on how to do it! Definitely check them out if you are looking for a fun way to reuse your calendars! You could use magazine tears too!
The cute old calendar picture above was found at this interesting site.

Like female vocalists? How about a slightly folksy sound and some sweet viola playing? I’ve been really enjoying Anni Rossi‘s new album lately, and wanted to share a song of hers with you! It’s a pretty simple video, but I just love the song! I bet she would be cool to see live…

This song is exactly what I've been waiting to hear without knowing it. It's so perfect and beautiful I can't wait to listen to the rest of her album.
Thanks for the tip!

So amazing! Thank you for introducing her... I will have to check out more of her stuff!!

I’m loving the latest issue of fashion156 and these handpainted backdrops! I like the different effects the photographer captured zooming in or way out and showing how they’re strung up against the true city backdrop.
The Free People Buying and Planning teams adopted 3 families through the Salvation Army this holiday. Here is a photo of them shopping for gifts!
We were so happy we were able to help these families get some things they needed and hopefully made their holiday more cheerful.
Located at the Station touristique Duchesnay, a bit northwest of Québec City Canada, this awesome and icy building is the Hôtel de Glace. Built in early January each year since 2001, it stands until late March and is made of around 400 tons of ice and 12,000 tons of snow! It’s a real working hotel too, and though it’s a bit chilly, (a steady temperature of around 25 degrees Fahrenheit) I think it would be worth it! Check out this nice little article about it on Life in the Fast Lane and of course Hôtel de Glace website if you want to see more.
The gorgeous pictures are by lander2006, except the first, which is by duplamox.
These sweet photos came from Three Belgian Autochromists, a really cool site featuring the work of, you guessed it, three early Belgian autochromists! Autochrome is a very old way to take color pictures, used before the advent of color film. The site features the work of C. Corbett, P. Sano, and A. Van Besten, and frankly, the shots are just gorgeous. Plus, I really love getting to see pictures from as far back as 1903 in color! Do you think there are some hobbyists out there still practicing autochrome? The colors are so dreamy… See all the pictures here.
Many of you may already know the sad news that the great Eartha Kitt passed away from cancer on Thursday. She was 81 years old, and was a fantastic singer, a pretty good actress, and smoldering sexy! She briefly played Cat-Woman on the Batman series in the 60′s. She could sing in at least 3 languages that I know of. Her voice was unique and to die for! I could go on and on! Above is a video featuring her performing the song Just an Old Fashioned Girl. Good-bye Eartha Kitt, we’ll miss you!
What do you guys think of this new advertisement for Christian Dior’s Miss Dior Cherie perfume? I love the look and feel of it, but I’m not surprised since it was directed by Sofia Coppola! (Director of The Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation, among others.) I also love the song! It’s called Moi Je Joue, performed by Brigitte Bardot.

this is one of my absoulute favorite commercials of all time!!! its so feminine and chic i could watch it over and over and over again
kate-Dec 29, 2008, 8:26PM
I would be as happy as she too, if I could lounge around all day in Dior.
;) I love this happy song, and I don't mind the fragrance either!
