A great song to get you out of the Monday Blah's !  I was having them big time this morning.  (Had to pay bills, which was doubly no fun because we are scraping bottom of the barrel - and it is downright chilly this morning! Not to mention it is MONDAY! UGH!!) Thanks to a FB friend, this song proved to be the mood lifter I needed. Being a brown eyed girl , when I was little I thought this song was about me .  It came out 4 years before I was born, but when your little, you don't know those things, just that the song makes you feel special. It was what I needed - having a brother and and a sister with light eyes - I though this song was meant just for me. And seeing this video, where Van looks downright uncomfortable having to be on stage doing this, made me smile. Seems we all have to do things we get uncomfortable doing...... So enjoy this, and your Monday!  Oh, and if you love Van, you can catch him still touring !! Cheers! 

What does everyone say  when the temperatures reach  near 100 degrees ? How do you feel ? All of us here in the US have been feeling it over the past week. We have been feeling HOT HOT HOT ! So what do we do when we are feeling HOT HOT HOT? Being from the Caribbean, We take it off!  Take off your pants , put on shorts Take off your shirts , put on tank tops Take off your shoes , put on TOEKINI's And then dance a little, singing the catchy soca song, Hot Hot Hot   the original  by   Arrow, The King of Soca . Don't have your own pair of Toekini's? Enter to WIN a pair here ! You will be COOL COOL COOL.

Great song by Garbage - it happens to be raining, cloudy, windy, overall yucky, so this song is perfect. But instead of pouring our misery down, we can use this to channel our creativity and concentrate on our work. We can be productive on these rainy, miserable days. And be happy when it rains. I will be using this rainy, yucky day to be productive, finish many projects that I started at various times, and to start projects that are in my head. Enjoy your rainy days!

Sometimes, songs are in my head all day, all different ones, and I am humming happily from morning 'till night. Other times, there is nothing but silence, or only to-do lists, or worries about unfinished projects. Today, that is what my head is filled with - worries about unfinished projects and the promise I made on Facebook of new items this week. So I am taking a request made by my friend, Laci at Zig - Zags Handmade This N' Thats . She LOVEs the Goo Goo Dolls , and wanted me to play Sympathy . It seems fitting today, as I complain about too much to do and so little time, I know most of you can sympathize with that. It is also interesting to me because every time I hear the Goos (as they are affectionately called these days) I am reminded of the first time I heard of them, and heard them. They are natives to Buffalo area, as am I. So, back in the mid 1980's, when my friend asked me to go to her school's dance where there was live music, I said "Sure, s...

Raige Creations has decided to expand! I heard about Zibbet.com and decided to check it out and discovered it is from the 'Land Down Under' -Australia!   Who isn't intrigued with the idea of Australia and Vegamite sandwiches after hearing Men at Work 's song, Land Down Under ? (Love the song, but the sandwich must be an acquired taste) After a bit of research, I learned from their website, " the idea for Zibbet was initially born out of a desire to create an eBay alternative for Artisans. Johnathan Peacock (Zibbet's founder), saw first-hand how hard it was to sell your creative products. From seeing his Grandma stop selling her crocheted handicrafts at the local market, because it was "too cold" and "not worth it", to seeing his wife's cousin stop selling her paintings on eBay, because it was too expensive to list and weren't selling at a worthwhile price. He knew that there had to be a better way.....  The name Zibbet was fas...
