I got this quote emailed to me this morning through Oprah. 
This guy, Peter Walsh, is a professional organizer - great thought here:

“You have to ask yourself, 'Does this item or thought or response move me closer to my vision for my best life?' If it does, great. If it doesn't, what is it doing in your life?”

—  Peter Walsh

Magazine Article: Love This Emerald Color!

From one of my fav shelf magazines:  "O" Magazine.

Love Talia's New Collections!

Talia resides in Israel and is one of KD's very first designers to contribute back in 2005.  Talia and I started together with me selling her rug designs.

Since then, Talia's designs include sales in every industry - bedding, paper, apparel and even umbrellas!

These are very nice and I wanted to show off Talia's style:

Have a productively creative day!

President's Day in the USA!

Presidents' Day (Washington's Birthday) in United States

Quick Facts

Washington's Birthday, or Presidents' Day, honors the life and work of the first president of the United States, George Washington.

Washington's Birthday, also known as Presidents' Day, is a federal holiday held on the third Monday of February. The day honors presidents of the United States, including George Washington, the USA's first president.

Background

George Washington was the first president of the United States of America. His first term as president was from 1789 to 1793 and his second term from 1793 to 1797. Before he became president, he played important roles in the military, leading the American Continental Army to victory over the British in 1783. Washington is often seen as the father of the United States and is probably the best known American politician ever.

The likeness and name of George Washington can still be seen in many places in the United States. There is the portrait of him and three other American presidents carved into Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota. His image is also used on the one-dollar bill and the quarter-dollar coin. The capital of the United States, Washington D.C., Washington State and at least three universities are named after him.

Washington's Birthday was first celebrated as a holiday in the District of Columbia in 1880. It was made a federal holiday in 1885. The holiday was originally held on the anniversary of George Washington's birth, on February 22. In 1971, this holiday was moved to the third Monday in February.

This holiday is legally designated as "Washington’s Birthday". Though other institutions such as state and local governments and private businesses may use other names, it is the federal government’s policy to always refer to holidays by the names designated in the law.

Have a great holiday - if you are a Federal employee by chance.

Cheer,
Kim

Kim's Favs - Week of 2/17/2012

Below are the "Kim's Favs" for the week of 2/17/2012:

Marcela Picks from Printerest.....the "cool finds" return...

I have missed "Marcela's Picks" from Printerest.

I do not allow myself on this site - fearing I'd stack up on emails while I wallow in the creativeness of Printerest.

So, Marcela indulges me/us with her selections - the creme de la creme.

 Marcela had computer issues that took her "down" for a bit.

Now, we are back - so enjoy:

Happy Friday Everyone!
