I can hardly believe Christmas is so close! I found it disturbing that the stores were playing Christmas music on Halloween. But, I guess tis the season and all that. I do love Christmas, don’t get me wrong. I just love it after Thanksgiving.  I love finding the perfect card to send out and love personalized cards even more. VistaPrint has hundreds of Christmas card and holiday card design templates to help get you started. Choose a holiday card design template and then go to the online greeting design studio. You can even customize your Christmas cards with text and upload your logo or graphics. VistaPrint also offers over 70,000 free stock images to help you create your custom holiday cards. If you already have your Christmas cards designed, you can simply upload your file for them to print!  I like to take a bunch of digital pictures of the kids together and then find the one that is best to put on our Christmas card.  I’ve noticed that a lot of times the first one turns out to be the best.  I like taking them at home because they seem more relaxed. Custom Holiday Cards are just fun to send out and fun to get in the mail! How soon do you send out your Christmas cards? I usually wait until almost the last minute, but hopefully this year I’ll get them out early!

I was checking out Web Hosting Geeks’ webhosting blog and read an interesting article about the economy related to web hosting.  I hadn’t really considered that web hosting sites would be affected by the economic melt down.  It appears that they are not left un touched.  I was happy to read the at the host of my blog (host gator) is doing okay and isn’t having financial trouble to date.

Top 10 Web Hosting – Best Web Hosts (2008) has an independent review of top 10 web hosting providers. Cheap professional web hosting services under $10 a month; all hosting plans include at least one free domain name registration and 30 day money back guarantee. Rate and review your hosting provider!  I really wish I had seen this site when searching for a good host for my site.  I went with a site recommended by friends and while the site has done a fine job hosting my site, it is not as user friendly as I would have hoped.

You can also get free domain name registration included in several web hosting packages.
Some of the web hosting providers offer up to 5 free domain names or a free domain name forever when you signup for a web hosting service.  That is definitely a bonus!

I was reviewing a website called turbocharger and it reminded me of a game on facebook.  On the game you pay points to turbo charge your car to race your friends by buying parts.  I never considered doing this in real life although I can’t imagine racing my friends in real life.  They have all kinds of supplies for your air induction needs.  I didn’t know this, maybe you did… but the air induction is a major part of the car.  Oxygen is a huge factor in your car’s performance.  By forcing air into the system either with a supercharger or a turbocharger it can improve your horsepower, torque and more too!  I know with gas prices even though they are going down for now it is important to have your car performing the best it can.  I have been looking at that new vw that Brook Shields has been advertising, I could use the Volkswagen turbo for that! Check out the site.

Have you ever gotten a suit Made to Measure for yourself or for your spouse? I checked out mysuit.com and went through the “my suit experience.” I was amazed at how precise it all was from beginning to end. First you and your consultant will determine your body type and then fit you with a “Gauge Suit”. A “Gauge Suit” accounts for body type, posture and stance, thus creating a dimensional context for the most accurate specs possible. Up to 30 measurements will be taken. Next you choose what style of suit you are interested. For the jacket you choose from one to six buttons or a double breasted and then you pick the details like pockets and stitching. You actually build a suit exactly to your preferences. You pick what type of pants you want, flat front, double pleats or single pleats and then you select all the little details like pockets and belt loops. Next you choose from many different fabrics in dark, medium and light categories. There are many fabrics to choose from and textures. Once you have selected your fabric, every detail of your new suit will be reviewed with you and your suit will be priced. The next step is to make an appointment to be measured. Check them out, MySuit is a global company with over 40 years of manufacturing and retail experience. It is a division of one of the largest suit makers in the world. They sell made-to-measure suits at close to off-the-rack prices.

You know I wrote the first page of my “book” recently.  I actually wrote more than that first page, I wrote about twenty or so pages.   It took a long time to type it all out and that is even with my pretty fast typing skills.  I think it would be easier to just say it and not have to sit and type it all out.  I have so much in my head that it gets overwhelming and tiring to type and type and type…  I took the Dragon’s typing speed test!. I did pretty well considering I just took it once, but there was no way to keep up with the speaking and with the software comparison. I think using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for NaNoWrimo would make writing much much easier! Check out the Dragon Reviews and see if it’s something you would be interested in. You can use the software to do schoolwork, respond to emails, or even to shop online. The software comes with a headset.  I also read that you can even use the software to surf the internet.  How cool would that be?  Especially for blogging.  It would make leaving comments much easier, especially with no hands… since I am usually taking care of Izzy while doing my blogging.

Have you heard about Zenni Optical? You may have seen positive reports about them on Fox News or maybe heard about them on the radio. The host of The Clark Howard Show gave a recommendation for them. They sell stylish prescription eyeglasses online starting at only $8. They have a huge selection of frames with single vision lens, sunsensor (potochromic) lens, tinted sunglasses lens, bifocal lens, and progressive lens. How do they sell glasses at such a low price? They are able to do it because they make their own frames and sell them directly to the customer with no middlemen and almost no advertising. They have just gotten in new frames so if you need glasses go check out the selection they are offering.  I don’t wear glasses… yet, but I think there are some really cute styles available.  I helped my friend Laura pick out some trendy frames a while back.  She looks so cute and trendy in her frames and gets tons of compliments.  I have noticed that a new pair of glasses can really update your look. This cute pair is only $19.00!

 Do you make your own jewelry?  If so, you know how hard it is to find quality beads at good prices.  The beads at local stores are usually too close to plastic and at the bead shops they can be so expensive.  One year I made a really pretty bracelet for my mom and MIL using beads in the color of birthstones for all the kids and grandkids.  They turned out great and were a great gift idea.
