Wall decals are one of my favourite things to look at on etsy.com
To me they look like an easy, inexpensive and unique way to dress up a room and make a bold statement. I don’t think EBN and I will be in our place for much longer but when we move to our next home will definitely consider using a few wall decals for art. I have picked some of my favourites to share. You will notice that there is something for everyone! There are designs suited to the tastes of boys, girls, teens and gown-ups.
Has anyone out there put up a wall decal in their house? Was it easy to put up and take down?
What a sleek, elegant and inexpensive way to jazz up your home! I love the simple silhouette of the trees.

I must apologize for the long hiatus. I had to buckle down and finish graduate school. The good news is I am officially finished! I must say I am excited by the prospect of a full-time permanent job and a paycheque!
People often ask me why I decided to become a librarian. I started library school because I like doing research and digging for information. After two years of library school, I still like digging and doing research but my motivation has shifted slightly. The thing I love most about my job is going to work and making a difference in people’s lives. I helped this woman fix up her resume last week and she came in yesterday morning to tell me that after two long months of searching she finally got a couple of interviews! She was so happy that she was nearly in tears. It is nice to go home after work and feel good about what you do! In honour of my transition from student to professional librarian here are handmade goods inspired by librarians!
I think what I love most about this paper doll is that she is a librarian and she looks like me! If I had this paper doll I would proudly set her up in my office!

You can find things from all over the world on etsy.com! So enjoy shopping near and far, local or import and find nearly anything you are looking for! I am starting to worry that this blog is going to turn me into a big of a shopaholic! Check out all these great finds…Which is your favourite?
ON another note I will be slowing down for the next week and a half and only posting every second day. I am just finishing off my master’s degree and I really need to buckle down. The countdown begins…

Last night I had my siblings and in-laws over for dinner and to decorate our tree. One person was missing, my mom. I wished she could have been part of our little party but she was stuck at home in the C-Spot. Although my mom was not there, the evening went off without a hitch and I am looking forward to Christmas.
A bit of an aside but this year EBN’s family and my family are combining for one big Christmas. We are calling it “Christmas 2009: Worlds Colliding”.
Want to share the love with a special mom in your family? Check out these family necklaces from etsy. These necklaces would make a unique and sentimental one-of-a-kind handmade gift for any mom!
