Random Musings of a Curious Mind

Trick or Treat!

Well, for another year - we had zero goblins grace our door. In fact, over the 7 years that we have lived here, we only had any Halloween visitors one year - and that was management's kids.

There are quite a few youngsters - judging by the noise level out my front window - living here right now. So I was surprised to hear no knocks last night. Of course, the fact that we are now gated and it would take Houdini to get in here after hours might have a little something to do with it!

Guess I'll just have to share the candy with . . . ME! Yum, yum, yum!

CurrentCatalog.com

I am so thrilled to announce that JMark Afghans, etc. is now partnering with:



For years, Current was my only choice for stationery, calendars, greeting cards, and personalized checks - to mention just a few. They have always offered unique, quality products that appeal to everyone. Somewhere, on one of the pages in the online catalog, there is a notecard set or calendar or gift wrap package or holiday assortment that is just what you need and didn't even know it!

Here's just one example:

First Year Calendar has room for a 3 1/2" x 5" photo on each page; includes 12 birth announcement postcards. 72 milestone stickers included, also; 9" x 12". Second year calendar sold separately ©Morehead, Inc. Designed by Ruth J. or Bill D. Morehead

Imagine the joy on a new mother's face when she receives this adorable calendar, tucked inside a beautiful JMark Afghans Baby Blanket.


Personally, I just love the Pull Bows. Looped and stored flat, you literally pull the different sections out and shape the bow at the time you need it. No more squashed bows - and no more need for tons of storage space.



Another great idea? This Lifetime Address Book & Stickers. Never worry about changed addresses again. Just write the new address on one of the included stickers and place over the old address. Voila!

Why not add this Address Book to a comfy new Afghan? Make updating all that information comfy and relaxed.

Please enjoy shopping with our new Affiliate Partner. I know that I'm going to be spending a lot of time with CurrentCatalog.com!

Vegas Vacations

I found out, a couple of days ago, that there are some great deals available through Greyhound for trips from Phoenix to Vegas. In fact, our recent guest managed to purchase a round-trip ticket for $9.00 less than a one-way ticket, travelling on the same day. You just have to, apparently, ask the right questions.

So, you know me, I started shopping for Vegas vacations. Mark and I haven't taken a trip together in over five years. Obviously, I would like to find something we can afford, even if it's only for a 3-day 2-night mid-week jaunt.

What I found is that, if you can travel during the week or at the last minute, it's easy to find great specials.

Never Miss An Important Occasion Again

You know that JMark Afghans offers a variety of original, hand-crocheted afghans, placemats, hats, scarves, and shawls. But, did you know that we offer a free reminder service?

That's right! You'll never have to worry about missing a birthday or anniversary again. And it couldn't be easier. Simply use our Reminder Form to list any occasion that you need to remember. Then, sit back and we'll take it from there. You'll receive regular reminders and, if you like, we'll even help with gift ideas.

We protect your privacy by coding the events on our calendar with your initials and zip code. Even JMark Afghans won't ask for any identifying information. No one, but you, will know these are your occasions.

Why miss another event? Let us help!

Las Vegas Vacations

Our neighbor, the one who helped us replace the drivers on the laptop, is heading back East. On the way, okay sorta on the way, he's wandering through Vegas. Turn a little money into a little more money. Braver than I, I can tell you that.

Although I am a confirmed non-gambler, I love the idea of Las Vegas vacations. There are so many more things to do, besides gambling.

My mom used to go to Vegas, with a friend of hers, every year or two. She played the slots - a bit. But mostly she went to the shows and enjoyed the buffets. I could do that!

Happily - Vegas has something for everyone.

North Padre Island

Summer (as in school's out, what do we do with the kid) is upon us. Michael wants to spend a lot of time with his mom, which is a whole 'nother issue. I've been thinking that maybe Mark and I could get out of here for a while, by ourselves for a change. So, yup, I've been vacation shopping.

I'm not really enamored with Texas (humidity, heat, and bugs), but there are areas along the Gulf Coast that are amazing. So, I checked out North Padre Island rentals. I was quite impressed.

For not a lot of money, it's possible to rent a nice place (furnished) near the water. It's definitely an option I'll be considering.
