Five Question Friday - 12/3/2010

It is Friday again!  On the one hand I am excited, since I get to go help decorate at Mr. SD's mom's place, but on the other hand I have sew much sewing to get down too!  Mom found several new fabrics for me to make up into Kitchen curtains.  I promised to get them done last weekend, but ended up with a lot of hip pain due to being preggars.  So... I am going to get them done this weekend, and that way she can change out her fun summer kitchen curtain for a wintery snowflake fabric.  I have to admit that the fun summery one is just not cutting it with all the christmas decor in the kitchen/dining room now, LOL!

Here are my 5QF answers.  Remember you can link up too!

1. What's on the top of your holiday wish list and why?  I want everyone to have a good holiday.  You know when everything goes smoothly, or at least no one gets their knickers in a knot when it doesn't go perfectly.  I want to create some fun memories that we can remember forever.  I think that family is what makes the holiday, not the gifts.  {Though of course gifts are always welcome!}
2. What is your favorite Christmas gift from the past?  When Santa gave me one custom riding boot, and my parents gave me the other boot.  Here is a picture of me doing a dressage test on Image wearing those boots several years after that Christmas.
 
3. If you had life to do over, what would you be when you grow up?  I hope that I would be right where I am now.  I love being a parent, I love being in Texas, and I am very content where I am.  It is funny how we can have such grand plans as teenagers on how we are going to change the world, or make a lasting mark.  But, when the future come we begin to realize that our little corner of the world is right where we are meant to be.  Not that I don't wish that Ms. Diva will grow up and change the world, LOL!

4. When do you put up your tree?  A week or so after Thanksgiving.  We don't have room for our tree (yes, we have a 'fake' tree that lives in a box) right now.  So our tree is being used at my parent's house.  We are going to set it up this weekend.  Another thing to add to this weekend's to-do list, LOL!  It will be fun to see how much a one-year-old Ms. Diva will be.  Last year she slept through everything.

5. What is your favorite Holiday?  Christmas of course!

Pretty in Pink and Some Sparkles too!

A hat for my oldest in ballet pink (red heart yarn she picked) with some silver beads.  No pattern, and ended up running elastic thread through a couple rows to make it more secure on her head for now, until she grows into it some more. Matches a shoulder shrug knitted for her during her year of ballet lessons.

While blog hopping recently, I came across this fantastic tip listed on Be Our Best .  Jill has compiled her Top 10 Blogging Tips in one place to help others out there in blogland.  Most of them I had heard of before.  But she had one on her list that I have only seen a couple times in practice, and have not heard a how-to do it before. Number 6: Add a clickable signature to your comments. If you add the following text to the bottom of the comments you leave for other bloggers, whatever text you insert for “Your Text Here” will be clickable.  You have to switch out “{“ and “}” with “<” and “>” then it will work.  Remember to also change the “Your Blog Address” part, LOL! {a href=http://www.YourBlogAddress.com/ }YOUR TEXT HERE {/a} Bonus Tip ~ I use Notepad to store all the html codes I use on a regular basis {the direct link code for my signature image, color codes, etc.}.  I added the above code to my Notepad page, edited it with my information, and saved it.  Now all I
