I didn't want to let the day finish before I posted my Friday Favorite Five list ... these are things I think are just fabulous:
1. My Keurig! Reallly, if there is ONE product that has revolutionized my life in the past year - this is it!!! I can count on one hand the number of times I've gone to a coffee shop to buy coffee since I've bought this! I have the B60, the Special Edition featured below - it the mid range model. And they've just come out with a mini edition. If you've seen*any* of my posts on Splitcoast, you know how much I love mine!
2. Felting - this is an addictive art where WOOL is my color palette and medium! In Florida I find not alot of people are familiar with wool, but I love to needle felt. Really, scrunching wool fibers with a needle is VERY therapeutic, think voodoo dll therapeutic!
Here's a great reference guide to get you started!
3. Ryan Shupe and his Rubber Band (RS & RB) - I saw these guys in Salt Lake City and was amazed! Such energy and great music! Its always in my car CD and iPod.
4. I love to read .... HBO has made several of my favorites into a series. I'm usually such a book geek that I not only read the book, I then will often purchase the audiobook and listen to it be read. I particularly love to hear the author narrate, I find it wonderful insight into the book. The first season of True Blood recently wrapped, bringing the "Sookie Stackhouse" {southern vampire} series to life. I guess that gives me time (before season 2 starts) to read the whole series!
5. The *perfect* gift for almost everyone on your list (with a handmade card, of course!). Amazon gives you three different options (in all prices ranges), you can email the gift certificate electronically to your recipient (for immediate gift giving), you can purchase it and print it out at home to personally deliver, or you can have an actual personalized gift card sent to the recipients (or your address). I keep a few of these on hand at the holidays (in small dominations) for quick giving for those "surprise" situations.
