If you have a pet and particularly a dog, today’s post is especially for you. Many dog owners consider their dog more than just a pet. Many, myself included consider our dogs as part of the family. Well, when it comes to Christmas, we never want to leave any family member out when it’s time to open the presents.
This year, consider visiting Maddies Closetfor that perfect gift for that four leg member of the family. Designer collars and leashes are Valerie’s, Maddies Closet’s owners’ forte. Now I know that Fido would probably rather get a big T bone steak but I think you will find a new collar or leash a little more practical and considering the price of meat these days, very probably less expensive.
In all seriousness, Valerie has a very nice selection of collars and leashes to select from plus a selection of sizes to accommodate your needs. I guess I should say your dogs’ needs. I’m not sure how much your friend will care about the patterns and colors on Valerie’s collars but I’m sure shoppers will appreciate all the colors and patterns to select from.
All the collars I saw in Valerie’s store appear to have good size leash connection rings which makes it easier for attaching the leash and the collars appear extremely well made and sturdy. Add to all this a very reasonable price and any item the shopper selects will certainly be appreciated. At least by the shopper. You will have to ask you furry friend for their opinion.

Every now and then we run across an article that we think our readers would appreciate reading. With the holiday season upon us and the fact that almost everyone is trying to stretch those shopping and holiday spending dollars more than ever, we wanted to pass on an article that has some useful ideas that we all can make use of. We want to thank Crunchy Crafts for permission to reprint this article.
Cutting down on holiday spending does not mean you have to cut down on the fun. You can plan an affordable holiday and keep it fun with these tips.
1-First you must create a budget. Figure out how much you can afford, go through your checkbook, look at the bills due around and after Christmas, and consider any December birthdays (we have 3). Now that you know how much you can afford you need to figure out how its going to be spent (presents, decorations,food, etc.)
2-Make a list. If you make a gift list you can save a bundle. Your wont have any last minuet scurrying and you wont waste time when you shop. You can make a spending limit for each person if you wish and dont stray from the list (unless you have to).
3-Handmade for the holidays can save you a bundle as well. It can also make gift giving more meaningful and but tons more fun.
4-Start early, this is a hard one but the earlier you start the better. You will have more time to find the really deals and you will feel less pressure.
5- Don't shop for yourself. Seeing those deals can get you excited about something you may have had your eye on. However it will hurt you more in the long run.
6- Save on cards. If you must send Christmas cards (and I must) you can be smarter about it. You can make your own and add special touches, turn last years cards into post cards, send e-cards, or buy your cards a year ahead when they are on clearance.
7- Don't buy gift wrap. This is a big one for me because I hate gift wrap. I dont like the idea that you wrap a present in paper rip it off and throw it out. Think of all the work that went into that paper and the years and years it took for that tree to grow. Instead you can use newspaper, paper bags, your child's artwork, Thrift stores many times have a ton of wall paper sift through it and find some you like and use that.
8- Make your decorations. The Internet is a wonderful source of ideas. Just do a search and you will be surprised by what you find.
9-Christmas Music. Everyone has their favorite Christmas songs. Instead of buying a bunch of Cd's burn them (legally of course) and enjoy only your faves.
10- Limit the lights. Don't keep your Christmas tree and decoration lights on all day and night. Limit the time they are on to a few hours at most. This will save you on your electricity bill and the environment will love you for it too. Also LED lights are a wonderful way to save some money as are fiber optic lights both last a while and fiber optic usually only have 1 bulb. When you do have your Christmas tree lights on turn off the rest of the lights. You will have plenty of light and it will look even better.
I hope these tips help you have an affordable and wonderful holiday season. And please remember whatever you wrap with make it recyclable and recycled it.

For centuries, scarves have been worn by both genders not just to keep warm but for their cosmetic looks. Although most men don’t wear scarves for looks these days, we do like the nice warm ones when the temperature outside is below 30 degrees. I don’t know if there is any scientific evidence that they really help keep a person from catching a cold but they sure feel good. With the exception of maybe an electric blanket wrapped around your neck, nothing seems to work or feel quit as good as a handmade knit scarf on a cold windy winter’s day.
There is an online store called Henry Pete's Pasturethat specializes in handmade knit scarves. With a huge selection of scarves in colors and sizes to choose from Henry Pete’s Pasture is an excellent place to pick up that next scarf you are looking for.
Describing a scarf is somewhat of a difficult thing to do so I’ll refer to the picture above as a sample of the great work, selection and creativity behind the hands that make these scarves. It would be hard for me to believe that anyone looking for a scarf couldn’t find just the right one at Henry Pete’s Pasture. If they can’t, all they have to do is contact Henry Pete's Pasture because they are happy to accommodate the shopper by doing custom work.
With everyone watching their dollars these days, shoppers will appreciate that you can buy a beautiful warm scarf here at a very reasonable price. Quality + Beauty + Great Prices = An Outstanding Buy at Henry Pete’s Pasture.

When you go shopping for a purse or bag at a regular retail store you can be pretty sure you will find the usual types of straight laced and for the most part pretty nondescript types of bags and purses we are all familiar with. When one wants something a little different, something that is on the fun side, these items are hard to find.
Luckily there are online stores like Melissa Brodsky Designs, formerly Black Sheep Bags . Although bags and purses aren’t the only things to be found in this wonderful store, they are the items that are the focus of this review. The two words “Imagination” and “Creativity” are certainly seen in Melissa’s store and her creations. By incorporating the elements of colors, shapes and sizes into each piece Melissa creates, she has come up with some very nice and great looking bags and purses.
The picture above is just one sample of a wide variety of items the shopper is able to choose from. Not everything in Melissa’s store is a brightly colored as my example above, there are more subdued colors and shades depending on the needs of the item themselves. Melissa clearly knows what works best with what style.
It is also evident that Melissa knows how to incorporate style and functionality within her creations. I could easily imagine ach piece I looked at in her store being capable of being used under more than just one circumstance or occasion. I know personally that I just hate buying something that I can only use once and then has to sit in a closet for the rest of eternity.
Stop in at Melissa’s store and see for yourself and see some of the neatest items around.
