So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

CraftShow Tips and Tricks

By Sam Weyland

Known as the Sunshine State, Florida is one of the few warm, tropical places in the United States. The atmosphere is sunny with the numerous fairs and festivals that happen all year round. Aside from the regular annual and biannual events, there are a few clandestine organizers that struggle in their first year. To many craftspeople, this is the place to earn a little extra income.

Chances are, you're one of these people. I applaud your notion of making a few extra dollars from selling the items that you make. However, you will need a booth, as well as the ability to attract potential buyers to it. The next few paragraphs will talk about tips I've gotten from a few "fair regulars":

*Make your booth look appealing: Even if you have absolutely beautiful crafts, it won't attract customers if all you do to it is place them on your booth table. You're selling art in a craft show, not fish in a marketplace. Do something as simple as draping a tablecloth over the table, or something as elaborate as having a banner on top of your booth. And if you're selling food, make sure you don't have your not next to the dumpster (and don't let your waste turn the booth into one, either).

*Talk, not intimidate: Basically, your crafts will not sell themselves. Make it an effort to go around your booth and talk to potential customers about your creations. Tell them why they're special, but remember to not ply them with too much information. Be casual! If you notice someone having doubts, try offering them a similar items they might be interested in.

Be prepared for ill weather: We may be the Sunshine State, but a tropical area also receives its fair share of rainfall. And if you've been in Florida long enough, you know that you will never be able to predict when it will drop. Have some thick plastic sheets ready to cover your crafts in the event of a rain, and have some heavy objects as well so they don't fly away. And do bring an umbrella for yourself as well! We don't want you sick, now.

Last, remember to not overdo it: Don't cram so much stuff on your booth that your crafts aren't noticeable. Talk, but not so much as to forget to listen to your customer. And don't bring so much anti-rain equipment , you forego bringing your own crafts.

Replica Coach Purses Vs Authentic Coach Purses

By Joleen Davenport

A lot of women shop online for coach purses. These women prefer to shop online than go and visit every fashion store for some coach purses because they know it can save them time, money, and effort. However, although shopping online can be helpful, it is also something really challenging as a lot of sellers will take advantage of you if you don't know how to differentiate a replica purse from an authentic one. Thus, to save yourself from being taken advantage of by these sellers, equip yourself with all the knowledge on the differences between a replica purse and an authentic one.

Badly Stitched Vs Well Stitched

Coach always secures that their purses are well stitched so if you happen to see a purse labeled as authentic and made by Coach and yet has awful stitching, be on red alert as it maybe just a replica Coach purse.

Unique Finish Vs Ordinary Finish

Coach purses are known for having unique finish. In case you see a purse classified as authentic and made by Coach but with an ordinary finish instead of a unique finish, think twice as it maybe just a replica.

Crooked Pattern Vs Aligned Pattern

Coach always secures that their pattern on their purses begins from the middle and that placements are right and aligned. In the event you find a purse labeled as authentic and made by Coach and yet has crooked pattern, don't consider buying it anymore. It maybe one of the replica Coach purses that you must avoid buying.

Quality Zippers Vs Low Class Zippers

Coach always makes sure that their zippers being used in their purses are of quality. If you happen to see a purse classified as authentic and made by Coach but zippers are obviously low class, be careful as it maybe a replica.

High Quality Leather Vs Low Quality Leather

Coach purses are popular for being made out of high quality leather. A purse labeled as authentic and made by Coach but seems to be made out of low quality leather is obviously a replica. If by chance, you happen to see a purse like this never even consider it as an option.

Boys Clothing Can be Just as Fashionable as Girls

By Katie Wilber

Believe it or not, in the early 1900's it was not uncommon to find baby boys in dresses. In fact, early in the 20th century little boys were pretty much dressed up the same as little girls. Sure there was a sailor outfit here and there, but there was also a lot of silk and lace woven into boy's clothing. Eventually boys clothing got much less formal and bleak by the middle of the century.

Mothers-to-be have commonly been heard saying, "I want a little girl so I can dress her up. Dressing boys is no fun." Who could blame them? For a long time it seemed as though the clothes available for baby boys and little boys were pretty much limited to t-shirts, jeans, and baseball caps.

Well, we might not put boys in dresses or pigtails, but the options have come a very long way over the last decade or so. Boys clothing used to come in simple fabrics with a very limited color scheme. Finding anything cute or out of the ordinary was a very difficult task.

Boys can be just as fashionable as girls these days. With kids becoming independent thinkers early than ever, designers are standing up and taking notice. Long gone are the days of focusing on just the young girls. Boys want to have their own style, and the designers are giving them options. Now you can find original, quirky, colorful clothes for both sexes.

From Target and Sears to boutique designers like Sweet Potatoes and Knuckleheads, the industry has taken notice of the need to make fashionable boys clothing. It's no longer an acceptable excuse to claim that shopping for boys is no fun.

If there's a mini rock-and-roller in your family, there should be no issue finding him clothing that fits with his interests and personality. It's very common to walk into any department store and find rock star and graphic t-shirts for young boys. A stroll through the boy's jean section will lead to up-to-date jeans that rival the style and selection of the young girl's choices.

There was a time when athletes were the only ones sporting jerseys, and only out on the field. Today, walking around in athletic gear is stylish. Kids don't even have to play on a team to get away with it. All they need to do is hit any store and they'll find sports inspired t-shirts, hoodies, and even less casual polo shirts. Whether they want something generic or something inspired by their favorite sports team, the local shopping mall will have something to please any sports fan. Another popular trend is sports inspired newborn clothing.

Fashion for boys isn't limited to just clothing. They now have a huge line of shoes and accessories that can rival the girl's choices.

To find fashionable shoes look no further than local department stores, chain shoe stores, and even online stores. From casual shoes to boots and skating (skateboarding) shoes, there is no shortage of styles to pick from whether shopping in stores or online.

Whether you have a rocker, athlete, or casual boy, he has as many style choices as young girls. Boys can still dress down and dirty in their t-shirts, jeans, and baseball caps, but at least now they have a choice in the matter.

The Different Versions of Waffles

By Willie B Bates

Everyone loves waffles. They are a favorite for both breakfast and desert. Most people are familiar with their famous grid like pattern which is caused by the raised surfaces of the waffle maker's hot plates. However, what many people don't know is that waffles come in all sorts of different types and flavors.

To make a certain type of waffle you first need to know the recipe for its batter. The basic version consists of flour, egg, water and baking powder or yeast. However, this can vary tremendously on what part of the world you come from and the local customs. Even the size and shape of the waffle maker that cooks the batter can be very different depending on which country you are in.

This type of food is very old with the recipe dating back to the middle ages. Back then they were called 'wafers' and they were cakes that were cooked between an iron that was placed over a wood fire. They were sold on the streets of medieval cities.

American waffles are the most well known in the USA. The waffle was brought to the States by pilgrims from Holland in 1620. Today, they are a popular and sweet breakfast item which is usually covered in syrup or butter.

In Europe, a waffle from Belgium is very well known. Called a Belgian waffle, they are larger and thicker than the American styled waffle. In a tradition that still can be traced back to the Middle Ages, this waffle is sold on the streets in Europe.

While these are the two most famous types, other countries still proudly make and sell their own versions. Take the Hong Kong waffle for example. This is a large cake with a distinctive grid like pattern and is sold hot as a snack on the streets. In the Netherlands, stroopwafels have been sold since the 18th century and are different to other versions by having two pieces which are glued together by the sticky filling.

The recipes for these different waffles can be found on the internet or in cookbooks. They are relatively simple to make and are a great idea when entertaining guests or family members. They are even better for a way to keep the kids entertained in the kitchen.

Besides the actual recipe, you will need an waffle maker. They aren't expensive and there are many different types around. There is even one that makes waffles in the shape of a cartoon character. When buying a maker ensure that you have researched the brand thoroughly and that you are confident in their quality.

How to Paint Ceramic Tile Easily and Inexpensively

By Sue Krippner

Homeowners with older homes or those looking to change their interior design often ask the question, how to paint ceramic tile? The good news is it can be done easily and inexpensively, bringing a whole new look to a room.

When evaluating how to paint ceramic tile, consider the preparations. If the tile is cracked, caulk needs to be applied to fill them in. If the tile is chipped, a quick-drying epoxy needs to be used. The tile has to be cleaned thoroughly with soap and a scrub brush to remove dirt, dust, wax and grease, and the grout needs to be cleaned with a grout cleaner and small brush. Everything needs to be well dried before applying paint.

How to paint ceramic tile using the proper technique for floors, walls, or countertops is rather easy. A roller with a low nap is ideal for walls and floors to prevent bubbles in the paint. Equally effective is a sprayer for walls and floors, but because sprayers have the tendency to overspray, use a protective covering on furniture, nearby surfaces and other items in the vicinity.

When thinking about how to paint ceramic tile, keep in mind that the proper use of paint is essential for a quality job that will look great. Without the correct paint, peeling can occur. Oil-based paints, epoxy paints, or water-based paints containing urethane resin are recommended for painting ceramic tile. Look for a semi-gloss or high-gloss paint for the best finished look.

How to paint ceramic tile also includes the grout. Before painting, examine the grout to see if it needs to be regrouted. There are two choices, painting the grout the same color as the tile, or using a contrasting color. For a contrast, taping off the grout lines with acrylic masking tape will need to be done.

How to paint ceramic tile using decorative designs takes a bit more time than simply using one color, but the results are phenomenal. Adding a decorative design pattern is common on walls and countertops. Once the tile is painted, use a stencil to create your design. You can also create a design by using two different paint colors. Geometric patterns and stripes are examples of designs that can be achieved by painting individual tiles a different color.

When deciding how to paint ceramic tile in areas that typically get wet, like the bathroom and kitchen, there are some things to consider. In the kitchen, ceramic tile backsplashes tend to get wet, but they can be painted as long as any water is wiped off as soon as possible. In the bathroom, the ceramic tile showers and tubs are always getting wet, so painting them is not recommended since the paint would not hold up under such constant wet conditions.

How to paint ceramic tile to achieve the best success is to use a coating after applying the paint. A clear, water-based urethane is best and should be applied at least two days after the painting is completed. This gives the paint ample time to dry thoroughly and adhere well to the tile's glossy finish. The rule of thumb is to apply several coats of urethane. By applying multiple coatings, you will protect the painted tiles.
