Fun and funky gift ideas...
Everyone is looking for that fun and fuky gift to give, so I thought I'd post a couple of my last minute picks...
Rock around the clock with artist Jeff Davis' handmade timepiece. Keeping the tradition of vinyl LPs alive, Davis was inspired by the iconic appeal of long lost album covers, record logos and vinyl's glossy texture, when designing these musical keepsakes.
Part wall art, part timepiece, Davis begins each piece by incorporating clock hands into the face of a punchy, repurposed record label. Choose from a pre-selected Rock, Jazz, Soul or 80s album to keep you on beat and on time! Handmade in Philadelphia.
Next time you have a restless night you will be in good company. A series of silhouettes depicts a full size body, elegantly turning across the bed.
Keep your cash attached to your hip with the strongest tape on earth. This silvery Super Duct Tape wallet won't lift, peel or get sticky, but it will keep your cards and bills safe whether you're hitting the town or installing plastic sheeting. Reinforced metal holes accommodate a security chain, and the divided billfold, four built-in cardholders and four-page clear plastic insert hold all your necessities.

It's no optical illusion. No tape is used. There are no nails. Something about a "fulcrum" but, to tell the truth, we prefer marveling at the Balancing Wine Bottle Rack, rather than trying to understand it!
No matter. Red, White or Merlot, it works.

More holiday surprises...
So I can't help but look at some of the Holiday gifts on Etsy to see what's new everyday. I have to say, some of these people seem to be getting their holiday's a little confused...
Santa Slayer Vampire Christmas Picture
Suitable as a gift for all your friends who are interested in vampires, Santa Claus, and Christmas, this picture of Santa, the vampire slayer, as a downloadable pdf

Monsters have a fondness for shiny and colorful objects; so it makes sense that they have begun to claim Christmas ornaments as their own. They are very possessive of such items. Unsuspecting humans, who dare try to take the ornaments away, might lose a finger or two!

At least she gave it a cute story:
"I was a little bit surprised to find my stocking filled. I mean, it WAS Christmas and all, but I hadn't hung my stocking... and yet there it was.
Dangling jauntily from the mantel. Though actually it was one of my holiday socks I'd kicked off the night before after eggnog and fruitcake and a marathon of movies and candy. Cheerful red and white stripes as happy looking and festive hanging from the fireplace as they'd been on my feet.
I should have been wondering who'd hung my sock, but all thoughts of Santa and sneaky relatives fled my mind as the *gift* I'd been bestowed took center stage and started tapping dancing it's way into my awareness.
Tappity tap tap on my struggling, fruitcake and eggnog bloated mind.
That was no ordinary stocking stuffer. Of that I was sure. No chocolates or oranges or pretty boxes filled with glittering jewels awaited my eager hands....not even a puppy, which would have been crazy enough and yet not near as wild as the gift that wriggled contentedly, squirming about inside my now stretched red and white holiday sock.
It looked like an alien. Well of course it was. I chided myself for considering that it could possibly be anything but, even whilst I slapped my mental self silly for believing it to be an alien.
It blinked, dark mysterious eyes that were filled with child like wonder. It's blueish green nose seemed to deepen in color and my eyebrows rose...my mouth fell open.
This was no dream, this was reality. Christmas morning had brought more than a light dusting of snow on the patio, it had brought a wee little alien stuffed into my sock.
I stepped closer and the creature stirred, watching me, the larger eye filled with curiosity while the smaller one seemed content to just observe.
"Hello?" I said, half questioningly. Wondering about my sanity, wondering if there was a manual that came along with mysterious alien baby gifts on Christmas morning.
"Bloop bleep." It said. In clear, sweet tones, apparently happy to hear my voice.
The little horn knob bumps on it's head glittered in the weak winter sunlight that filtered in through the curtains.
Yes, definitely alien....
I wondered what I should do with it, and even whilst I wondered I stepped ever closer and hesitantly, carefully reached a hand out to lightly stroke one of those blue green ears. It seemed to purr, very feline like.
What to do....
I sighed, audibly and alien giggled, "bloop bleeeeep, bla ha hee, bleep."
Well...it would look like naming it and seeing if it liked fruitcake for breakfast would be a good place to start. It was a wondrous morning, Christmas morning always is...but especially so when one finds an alien baby in their sock."

A not so bad girl post... I found the real Santa...
So I'm feeling a little "Christmas-y" today and thought I would present you with the real Santa. Yep, he's alive and well. He's the 7th Santa Clause in a long line and is currently living in NC...
I know the video is a little "dry", but the message he gives is excellent:-)
I found the REAL Santa Clause in North Carolina
