how many good horse riding gifts can you think of please :)?

By admin on Jun. 22, 2010.

it’s my birthday in a few weeks and my friends all said they’d chip in together, take me to a show and have a look round the stalls. they said they’d buy me something from there, what kind of thing will there be do you think?:) what kind of horse related things could i ask for for my birthday, i have 2 welsh cobs that i love to bits if that helps? thankyou

At the shows I go to, there are vendors that custom embroider names on baseball caps, visors, sweatshirts, shirts, belts. There are booths that have horse relatd jewelery, unique crops, jods, games, show clothes, keychains with stirrups on them, halter and bridle plates that can be engraved. It just depends. Go there and look around and I’m sure you’ll find something!!

Have fun and Happy Birthday to you!!

Is the "I amsterdam" card worth purchasing?

By admin on Jun. 22, 2010.

And what is the rough cost fo travelling around amsterdam and admission to museums and stuff? Is it worth purchasing the card for 3 days or just doing it ourselves? Also, have you any suggestions about good places to go/stay while I’m asking? The card costs around £40 for 3 days.

Thanks.

25% Discount at many restaurants:

Whether it will be worth it for you depends on how many museums you visit, how much you use the tram and bus, where your hotel will be, how often you eat in a restaurant where you get a discount.
And how expensive those restaurants are, compared to other restaurants you could go to.

Some museums many people want to visit are not included in the card, like the Anne Frank house.
And most people will not visit more than two museums per day, so the savings there might not be as big as you might assume from the list of museums.
And I see that some places that are on the list do not allow you free entry to all the site, like Zaanse Schans has only one or two items listed, they have many more and for each you will pay separate.

I think, if you want to do three main museums with high entry costs, like Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museum, a canal boat tour and a few tram rides each day, you would be better off with the card.
But if you do not plan to visit the main museums, it will not.

A good site with a lot of information on Amsterdam is:

http://www.amsterdam.info/

It has a good list with museums, with explanations in English and links to the museums own websites.
It also has more information on the different cards you can get in Amsterdam, like just transport. Or a museum pass for many museums for a year, (worth it if you want to stay longer than a few days or will be back soon.)

What’s another way to say "Never look a gift horse in the mouth"?

By admin on Jun. 17, 2010.

Some different way to say "Don’t question, accept". or something along those lines.

Gifts are not to be questioned, only accepted.

Trey Songz – Jingle Bells (feat. Flo-Rida) (Musikal Tube) | Lyrics

By admin on Jun. 11, 2010.

I wanna wish ya’ll a happy christmas
(A merry christmas)
I mean merry christmas
Let the carols begin…

Jingle Bells
(Jingle bells)
Jingle all the way
(all way)
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
(We ridin’ ridin’)
Jingle bells
(Jingle bells)
Jingle all the way
If ya notice it just might be santa elves and trey
(Flo Rida)

[Trey Songz:]
Dashing thru the snow
Flo Rida and Trey
Whip on 24′s so we stuntin’ all the way
(All the way)
Look up at the stars
(stars)
There goes santa claus
I asked him for some jewels
And a really nice watch

[Chorus:]
Jingle Bells
(Jingle bells)
Jingle all the way
(all way)
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
(We ridin’ ridin’)
Jingle bells
(Jingle bells)
Jingle all the way
If ya notice it just might be santa elves and trey
(Flo Rida)

[Flo Rida:]
Heyy
What fun it is to be a rida
On the snow with 24″ tyres
All the way how we navigate to the south pole cause the ice is just a lil bit brighter
All the gifts just lil bit liver
Settin it got kicks that’s fire
Every door got a reindeer driver
Pull off the red nose might surprise ya
Stockings for the (holidays)
I call it my (dollar day)
Reach inside don’t hesitate
Ya might find money with santas face
I’m ballin’ with all the girls
My chimney gets all the mail
Stay stuntin till my presents fell
Flo rida and the jingle bells

Jingle Bells
(Jingle bells)
Jingle all the way
(all way)
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
(We ridin’ ridin’)
Jingle bells
(Jingle bells)
Jingle all the way
All the way now
If ya notice it might be santas elves and trey
(Flo Rida)

Tracy Porter Decorating Video: Tracy Porter whirls her foyer together with some added soul

By admin on Jun. 11, 2010.

Dont we all want every corner of our homes to reflect the personality of the souls who live there? You know, the really good stuff. If a guest came into your abode and quietly walked herself around on a self-guided exploration wouldnt we all hope that shed find a little dose of us as she passed through every threshold? The color, the textures, the combinations the scent the light as it dances through the windows the history the memories of all held dear the current moment of our familys days photos, toys, crumbs, the dust and all

Well, our foyer needed an armload of goodness. Now I will say the foyer is one of our favorite spots in the house Cozy and eclectic but not quite homey and comfortable enough for me She needed some casual soulfulness. Ahh, the layers We know you love them as much as we Join me as I whirl this little nest together Tell us what you do in your version of a foyer, entry, or front entrance hall We do love the lively chatter

Cheers to comfortable living!

xoxox,
T.
