&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Anything with a sea coral pattern catches my eye. I love this natural image and quite possibly it is because it is red and I always find coral illustrations to be so bold and delicate at the same time. It's quite sophisticated as a gift wrap pattern and one of the coordinating patterns in this collection had a wonderful surprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356453874984079826" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; height: 267px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1E4QATyd3k8/SlXya2ow0dI/AAAAAAAACB0/OzgBVk2dk7c/s400/Natural+Wonder+Gift+Wrap+Ensemble+004.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;In&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;planning my Wrap Room ensembles I assumed that most people would be wrapping multiple gifts of different sizes as they made their way through the gift wrap supplies. If you have the supplies on hand, you can also have a bit of creative fun in varying the papers and ribbons. In other words, no two gifts have to look alike and why should they? I think this method works it's best when you are giving one person a few gifts (a book and bookmark) , each one is wrapped differently, still coordinated but much more interesting. With this Natural wonder ensemble I added in two solids, a metallic red and matte black so you can extend the use of these papers with all sorts of coordinating embellishments available within this Natural Wonder Collection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1E4QATyd3k8/SlXzs5Km-yI/AAAAAAAACB8/ZUBWk-XgxG4/s1600-h/Natural+Wonder+Gift+Wrap+-+close+up+001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356455284412185378" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; height: 267px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1E4QATyd3k8/SlXzs5Km-yI/AAAAAAAACB8/ZUBWk-XgxG4/s400/Natural+Wonder+Gift+Wrap+-+close+up+001.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Though the top gift wrap paper features a larger sea coral pattern it works well with larger or smaller gifts. This isn't true with every large scale pattern but there is enough background calligraphy detail that it's works on either size of gift. The bottom paper with it's grid-based pattern is where you can have that fun I was talking about above. Those lovely images can be cut and then glued to the solid red or black paper. The images are so visual, it's can be all that is needed on smaller gifts. Another use for those leftover gift wrap strips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356455316471709218" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; height: 267px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1E4QATyd3k8/SlXzuwmMfiI/AAAAAAAACCM/X8GSEpy8dO4/s400/Natural+Wonder+Rubber+Stamp+set+002.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;My friends and I love this Natural Wonder Rubber Stamp Set. Great for scrap booking, making last minute gift cards, or adding to blank note cards and envelopes. It's all in the details. It can also work for making a gift wrap but that's another post (one I just figured out as I was writing this). The set includes 11 wood-block rubber stamps and a black ink pad. I think a red or chocolate brown ink pad would be perfect too. $29.00&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356455291603560130" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; height: 267px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1E4QATyd3k8/SlXztT9KpsI/AAAAAAAACCE/xbhNK5WXnxo/s400/Natural+Wonder+Stickers+003.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;I don't scrapbook, but I know these decorative self-adhesive labels would be fabulous for it. I have a couple friends who can't mail a letter unless it's sealed with one of these gorgeous stickers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;I think they truly shine when used for gift wrapping as you can tell. As seen above, they can be used to great effect on solid papers with small lengths of ribbon. I like putting them right over a flat ribbon. Over 100 labels $17.00.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356456777238783074" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; height: 267px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1E4QATyd3k8/SlX1DyYNJGI/AAAAAAAACCU/O32xP-hNkSU/s400/Red+Coral+Linen+Guest+Towels+002.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Another of our new website products that are themed to match the Wrap Room ensembles. These gorgeous linen Guest Towels are embroidered with exquisite detail and the 100% linen quality is incredible. I love giving these very special towels are a hostess gift, something they may not buy for themselves but will enjoy forever.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Powder rooms always look fabulous with a touch of red. Set of 2 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;towels for $60.00.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;I'm almost there.......the website is finally starting to come together. While I do my Annie Liebovitz thing with all the photos, my webmaster is doing his design thing and plugging in all the copy. It's a tandem process that requires extreme multi-tasking as you all know so we are close......very close to launching A Gift Wrapped Life. And when I am done, I am going for the biggest grape ice cream cone they make. For sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6972049401217503790-2891198530546733987?l=hamper-basketgift.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hamper-basketgift.blogspot.com/feeds/2891198530546733987/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6972049401217503790&amp;postID=2891198530546733987' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6972049401217503790/posts/default/2891198530546733987'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6972049401217503790/posts/default/2891198530546733987'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hamper-basketgift.blogspot.com/2009/07/gorgeous-red-coral.html' title='Gorgeous Red Coral'/><author><name>raj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15225664738535997533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1E4QATyd3k8/SlXsBlOc_KI/AAAAAAAACBM/i2cLCHapYcI/s72-c/Natural+Wonder+Gift+Wrap+Ensemble+010.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972049401217503790.post-1939230531266149286</id><published>2009-07-17T00:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-17T00:14:12.332-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nokia N95 8GB Music'/><title type='text'>Experience The Diversity of Functions With Nokia N95 8GB Music</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This latest creation by Nokia is more enhanced in terms of its abilities. It works wonderfully with its slider design and 3G with 2G network. You can access Internet with Wi-Fi from any corner of the world with fast speed. Another exciting feature in the Nokia N95 8GB Music which impressed me the most is 8 GB storage that allows to store large number of files which can be retrieved anytime you want.

Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus with LED flash help the users to capture perfect images to have glance with excellent quality.

It helps me a lot for the submitting reports to my office.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;With stereo speakers, it delivers great sound when it works with music player or when phone rings.

Various popular music formats are supported by its media player that can play music and video with class apart quality. Stereo FM radio and visual radio are included in this device whereby you can listen as well as view normal audio radio broadcasts. I experienced the excellence of music with such excellent musical options. SMS, MMS, Email and Instant Messaging are the messaging features which are offered with this model of Nokia. This dual slide designed Nokia mobile phone posses TV-out, Organiser, T9, Push to talk, Voice dial/memo, preloaded games etc. QVGA videocall camera is also added so as to view end caller while establishing conversation.

Yep, there’s been more than one!  I wanted to make a couple of “Bah Humbug Bags” and I didn’t want any raw edges in the bag.  Thought I’d like it to have a layer of batting.  Well.  That just didn’t work out.  Tried Traditional Batt on the larger bag and it was way too bulky.  Tried Cotton Batt on the smaller bag &amp;amp; it was still too much.  And the added bulk of the batting made sewing thru some of the seams with all those layers a bit much.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I don’t have a pattern for the Humbug Bag, but I had made the bag years ago after seeing it on a “Sewing with Nancy” program that featured the bag.  I made several of those, at the time.  They make nice gifts.  And also a nice cover-up for a gift.  Had made one for myself, too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Well, my 2nd try (bags 3 &amp;amp; 4) turned out better.  There are no exposed raw edges anywhere in the bag.  Got back to basics and used denim for its durability.  No batting.  Nice fabrics for lining and decorating the handle.  The fabric &amp;amp; denim are quilted together with some deco stitches on my new sewing machine.&lt;img style="border: 0px none ; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="1208" alt="1208" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VJj3B39FOYg/SlDtidxeq5I/AAAAAAAAAY8/fjYAhY9QKuQ/1208_thumb%5B7%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" width="175" height="240" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The bags look just a bit different, cuz I found that I had lots of bulk when stitching the handle in the same place with the zipper insert as on the smaller bag.  So, I moved the zipper insert away from the middle on the larger bag and that did the trick – the zipper insert &amp;amp; the handle are sewn thru separately, rather than all on top of each other.  I even made each end of the handle to be sewn side by side, rather than on top of each other, again, less bulk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This was a good project to choose for sewing on my new Janome 6600p.  Lots of practice on many techniques, including using the zipper foot.  Even the original idea with the green bags that didn’t work out gave me some nice practice on quilting with the AccuFeed Foot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The old dog &lt;em&gt;IS&lt;/em&gt; learning new tricks!  LOL&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The denim bags are a gift for a niece who will be starting college in the fall.  I know Holly will put them to good use, transporting any manner of goodies in them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The original green bags I will finish up and know I will find some use for them around here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6972049401217503790-285955153824469780?l=hamper-basketgift.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hamper-basketgift.blogspot.com/feeds/285955153824469780/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6972049401217503790&amp;postID=285955153824469780' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6972049401217503790/posts/default/285955153824469780'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6972049401217503790/posts/default/285955153824469780'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hamper-basketgift.blogspot.com/2009/07/project-gone-wrong.html' title='Project gone wrong!'/><author><name>raj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15225664738535997533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VJj3B39FOYg/SlDthDgp9-I/AAAAAAAAAY0/7Vm23YOF3DY/s72-c/1210_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972049401217503790.post-5191756994133565374</id><published>2009-07-13T02:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-13T02:55:44.469-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Need Your Advice &amp; Feedback</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello Gift Closet readers!

The only way I can hand make everything fast is to keep everything really organized. I don't have any employees so I have to stay super organized and caught up. It really helps that I was a chef for many years before I got into accounting and eventually started this business. I run everything like it was a restaurant. All of my ordering and organizing is the same way I would do it in a kitchen. I can't make anything ahead of time because everything is customized, but I pre-cut everything I can and I do everything I can to make sure I don't run out of supplies. I bought two antique library card catalogs and they are filled with supplies (all of the drawers are alphabetized).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YsX_AhECOxU/SkBSb9XBtlI/AAAAAAAAAwQ/rOi6-h-pqFA/s1600-h/shop-2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YsX_AhECOxU/SkBSb9XBtlI/AAAAAAAAAwQ/rOi6-h-pqFA/s320/shop-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350366997597238866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; I have 7 of the Brother PR600 embroidery machines (my sister has three at her house because she does the wholesale orders).

Here is a free gift idea "Herbal Sea Salt Scrub".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Herbal Sea Salt Scrub.To make it you will need:1 large handful of a dried herb of your choice2-3 Tablespoons of sea salt½ teaspoon olive oilabout 4 Tablespoons of waterA note about choosing herbs:I chose chamomile. It is relaxing and astringent. Falconi also says it is great for “healing nervous and inflamed skin conditions.” You might also choose comfrey roots or leaves.Both are mucilaginous and so will be good for dry or irritated skin. Rose flowers would make a beautiful gift scrub and they are stringent and toning for the skin.Choosing a mint would create a refreshing, stimulating quality to your scrub. You get the idea. A little bit of research on the properties of the herb will help you choose the right one for each person on your gift list.To make the scrub, put one large handful of your herb of choice into a mortar and grind it into a powder with the pestle. Add the sea salt, and grind a bit more. Add the water and stir. Finally add the olive oil. This makes enough for one treatment. Use it by massaging it into the skin and allowing it to stay on for 10 minutes before rinsing. It will have a crumbly texture. If bits of herb fall off in the application, simply reapply.I imagine the shelf life of this scrub is fairly short, so you probably want to make it just before sending it off and include instructions to use it fairly soon.Another possibility is to make a basic salt clay scrub by mixing 3 tablespoons of clay with 2 tablespoons of sea salt. Include instructions to mix it with 4 tablespoons of water before massaging it into the skin. For this one, leave it on for 5 minutes or until the skin feels tight. Without the water, the shelf life will be longer.You might also leave the liquid out of the herbal combination and just include instructions with your gift if you would like to make it further in advance.Buying supplies...Of course you can get Sea Salt at the market, but Mountain Rose Herbs DOES carry salts carry herbs and they even have herbal gifts already made up. If you dont have the time to make your own you can purchase a gift there. You can also get containers there. Enjoy! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6972049401217503790-1656795679010245592?l=hamper-basketgift.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hamper-basketgift.blogspot.com/feeds/1656795679010245592/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6972049401217503790&amp;postID=1656795679010245592' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6972049401217503790/posts/default/1656795679010245592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6972049401217503790/posts/default/1656795679010245592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hamper-basketgift.blogspot.com/2009/07/natural-gifts-for-holidays.html' title='Natural Gifts for the Holidays'/><author><name>raj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15225664738535997533</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972049401217503790.post-988407396953826987</id><published>2009-07-04T02:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-04T02:14:10.023-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Pink in High-Resolution</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3 style="text-align: justify;" class="post-title entry-title"&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;" class="post-body entry-content"&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352451436956717570" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; height: 267px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1E4QATyd3k8/Ske6OTFVkgI/AAAAAAAAB9s/UYOGbuH-39M/s400/Pink+Baby+Girl++for+web+-ensemble+Gift+002+with+text.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;I woke up Saturday morning and thought to myself "Girl, you just need to learn how to do your own photography". Off I went to my local camera store and came home with a technology-induced headache and a new best friend, a Canon Rebel XSi. Photoshoots for my website have always been the hold-up in the process, it's just plain tense and way too picky for most professional photographers. I see my product, but conveying that picture (in my head) is too time-consuming and expensive. And it's ongoing with new product, so at 55 yrs. old I am determined to learn how to do more styling, and shoot my own photos. Yesterday I absorbed impressive words like aperture, ISO, white balance, macro, and telephoto. My hand is sore from carrying this hefty friend around all day shooting everything in sight and these mature neurons are firing off like crazy. This Princess Pink photo is one of my baby gift ensembles that is being re-styled for the website and I think it is the most precious pink present to send to a new princess. It comes with the most feminine pink Daisy sun hat since it's never too early for a girl to worry about sun protection. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352452112779992722" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 267px; height: 400px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1E4QATyd3k8/Ske61ouKXpI/AAAAAAAAB98/OGZB9vin66E/s400/Pink+Paris+File+Folders+for+web-products+004+with+text.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;When you ask for help from your fellow blogger friends, they always come through for you. A few weeks ago, blogger Mandy from &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;A La Parisienne&lt;/span&gt; emailed with some advice on white balance when I apologized to blog viewers for my tinted photo backgrounds. She got the wheels turning and from there I emailed Alice at the photographically-superior blog &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Thoughts from Alice W&lt;/span&gt;, who's blog and website photos are some of the loveliest I've seen. Within ten minutes, she graciously emailed her camera spec's and off I went into a whole other learning curve. I also noticed this is the same Canon camera used by the book-worthy blog photos at &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Cannelle Vanille&lt;/span&gt; and we all know her food photography is something to see&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;My Paris Pink file folders, Paris Rubber Stamp Set, and Eiffel eraser &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;are always on my desk.....if I have to work I'm going to make it as pretty and pleasant as possible. Now wouldn't this lovely gift perk up those pesky desk chores?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352451744377311586" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 286px; height: 400px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1E4QATyd3k8/Ske6gMUHkWI/AAAAAAAAB90/ap0dg91ukMM/s400/Cote+Bastide+Grofile+Bath+Oil+and+Saop+for+web-product+001+with+text.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;This photo actually has some great resolution, but when it downloads to blogger it loses some of it's clarity. A quick, 7 am email to my web guy with the question "why are these photos losing their resolution in the transfer from file to blogger and how can I fix it?" still hasn't been answered (he's obviously a late-sleeper or hiding from me) but I'm dying to know. This Cote Bastide Giroflee Bath Gel and Soap is one of my favorite gift products, makes me think I'm in a sophisticated Paris bathroom. I think I might use these tonight in a good, long soak after a good, long bike ride.
