  • Spring Breaks the Fireplace Mantel

    My parents were out of town for two weeks and came home during break from college so I volunteered to house sit for the,  Since I was in town I figured I would have a get together with a few friends.  Nothing big just a few people over for some drinks and a nice chat, but to my surprise more than 20 people showed up.  Needless to say the crowd got a bit out of control and there were a few things that were damaged.  My parents have a very old fireplace mantel and with all of the movement and commotion from my get together it was cracked at the top corner.  It is the original mantel that came with their home, so I am hoping to purchase a replacement for them that would be an improvement to their living room; would anyone be able to point me in the right direction as far as where to find something nice and inexpensive?

  • Santa's Special Postmark

    From December 1st to December 24th, the normally sleepy post office in the town of Santa Claus, Indiana is bustling with an abundance of activity.  The only post office in the world with the jolly ole' elf's namesake, processes more mail in the months of November and December than all other months combined.  Families from afar and near travel to the small town to hand cancel their Santa letter and holiday cards with the unique postmark available only at Santa's personal post office.  This special postmark is designed by one lucky art student from the local schools.  It is used only during the month of December and retired never to be used again.

  • Themes of Nursery Furniture

    A nursery is a place where your child should enjoy spending time in.  It should be something of a fortress for a child; some place where they can go and be surrounded by things that are familiar to them when they are sad or upset.  That is why it is so important to select an appropriate theme your child likes for the nursery.  If you select the wrong theme, you have wasted a lot of time and money due to the fact that children do not want to spend time in places they are not familiar with.  The following are some well-known themes used by many parents:
     
    ·        Teddy Bears
    ·        Fairies
    ·        Transport
    ·        Animals
    ·        Sun, Moon and Stars
    ·        Flowers
    ·        Bugs
