So we were posed the question what is a favorite movie that you watch around the holiday season. Well, we never really watch that many Christmas classics, but we did watch Bad Santa the year it came out and have been watching it ever since. Even though it may not be for everybody we thought it quite funny, actually kind of hysterical. So now we try and watch it at Christmas each year, but occasionally we'll watch it throughout the year if it comes on TV. I really like Billy Bob Thornton ... Read Full Story

Does your pet ever get the flu or a 24 hour bug? Yesterday it seemed as though Lena was a bit under the weather or depressed, but she certainly wasn't herself. She didn't want to go out, although when she did she did go potty, but on the walk she walked about 10 steps behind me as if she just didn't want to go. She was dragging around the house all day yesterday, not sleeping in her usual spot. She ate and drank fine, although her nose was dry, but she just didn't seem herself. Now toda... Read Full Story

So tomorrow is my sister's birthday and she's had a rough year so I thought I'd so something really special for her. I made her a charm bracelet that features all of her six children, three of the human kind and three furry ones. I made three dog beads for each of her dogs and since I'm not very good at making humans out of polymer clay I only did one bead of her son in polymer clay because he's easily identifiable, for the other sons I did something different -- and I figure it is a char...
