Aweome Gift Idea - Double Nut Basket and Pistachios

Someone ordered this from one of my web pages, so I saw it on my affiliate report.  What a fantastic idea for a gift!  This would make a totally perfect hostess gift or gift for the Dad that has everything.  I cant take credit for this one but props to the unknown gifter who came up with the combo.

Double Barrell Nut Basket - Nuts go in one side, hulls go in the other.

POM Wonderful Pistachios - the best I have had - very very fresh tasting and not too many duds.

CNN Interviews Elvis' Hometown Sweetheart

"People don't understand what's in that picture," she told me. "He had just been outside standing in his new swimming pool. It was just being filled up, with a garden hose. I was dressed to go out with him for the evening, all gussied up. And what we're doing is, he had just taken the train back from New York, where he had recorded some new songs for RCA Victor. He had brought back the recordings -- they had not been released yet. We were listening to one of them. He wanted to know if I thought it was any good. I said yes, I thought it was. It was 'Don't Be Cruel.'"

It's All About the Earflap Hats

I'v emade four earflap hats recently.  Two were for a co-workers soon to be step daughter and neice, and one is for my niece.  Then there's the one I have on in my Facebook profile picture.  I think I might have to keep that one because it's so silly.

The Hanukkah and Christmakkah shopping is almost done.  I've been really smart with online deals and lots just coming directly to the recipients.  Other stuff I need, cell batteries, cables, widgets, and stuff, are coming from Amazon.
