Happy Holidays! Yep, it is that time of year and I know I don’t have to tell you it is stressful. We all know this and one of the ways to take stress out of this time of year is to be aware of exactly what you can - and can’t do. Who should you tip? Do you have to send cards or give a present if someone gave to you? Can you really re-gift?
Listen in today as I talk to my favorite etiquette expert, Jacqueline Whitmore (www.etiquetteexpert.com) She will help us with what we really need to know at this time of year. Knowing can make all the difference and will minimize the stress of the next few weeks so you can enjoy this time and make good choices! Happy Holidays!

If you are in a tight budget this year and want to give something fabulous - why not make it? Okay, I know that few of us are good at sewing, that is why I had Diana Rupp author of S.E.W. (Sew Everything Workshop): The Complete Step-by-Step Beginner’s Guide on to give us the start we need. Sewing is pretty easy when you have the right materials and knowledge, and this book gives you  step by step instructions. Then, once you feel you understand the basics, there are ten patterns that come with the book to help you start/make your first project. S.E.W. is a terrific book and a great gift, especially for tweens, since sewing is poised to be the next big craft craze.

Happy Holiday Shopping and don’t forget to Make Good Choices!
