Gift Ideas ... has any started shopping yet?

Good Morning ... ok, I am curious to know everyones shopping habits...

I know I have yet to purchase one gift for anyone yet (yes, I am one of those Dec 23rd shoppers!).....but Geezees is busier than ever right now...so I know people are buying...

I thought I would start the morning out with some suggestions ...

For the just engaged, or just married couple

A funky canvas with their photo and wedding song (while they can still remember it...lol..dont get that joke? go back and read my post last week ...asking people what their wedding song was...very funny)

The HARD to buy for man in your life or teen boy...a distressed or grunge canvas with their favorite lyrics....or quote.....

How about some beautiful fabric art from one of my favorite etsy sellers SoBright Designs

She was so sweet to offer one of our our readers one of these beautiful onsie sets last month...you should go check out some of her new fabric/designs for new babies...they are SO afforadable and adorable ... I LOVE LOVE LOVE this reto christmas fabric.... it is awesome isnt it?

So...what is your status?? Are you no where near ready to shop?? Have your purchased all your gift items already? Are you going out BLACK FRIDAY? Will you buy all online?(that is how I do 80% of my shopping the last few years!)

What are your shopping plans this holiday season?

Watching old wedding video... Mommy, why are you smiling so much?

With the recent post showing my wedding photo, inspired me to bring the VHS tapes out of the closet ...and watch a little video with the kids from when "mommy and daddy" got married...

It was so much fun to watch them watch it. My daughter (2) was a lot more into it than my boy (7) ...but with it came some really cute questions... I will share..





Why aren't you wearing your glasses? Cause I wanted to look fancy.
Why weren't we invited? cause you werent born yet.
Mommy, why do you look so happy? lol..cause I was footloose and fancy free!!



My daughter watched it 3 times in a row...it is her new favorite movie...too cute! She loves looking at the brides in the wedding canvas orders Geezees gets...
(to all the brides who have ordered from me...my 2 year old thinks you are all princesses!)

How often do you watch your wedding videos? Do you ever look at your parents wedding photos?

You Capture , wordless wednesday post ...our life in sunsets ....

What makes a marriage or relationship work?? Answer with One Word... Also, some Black and White Canvas Photos

First ... I have to say thank you for the great response/answers to "What was your wedding song" post ...(not to late to go put your 2 cents in) ... You guys were so honest ...I loved it! Especially those who said they couldnt remember what song they danced to at their wedding ... bravo for your honesty ... to be honest ..me and my hubby always get out wedding anniversary date wrong...we are both off by one day... some sort of mental block or something...who knows...

So my question today is ... if you had to describe what makes YOUR marriage/relationship work??

(I say "your" because.. everyones relationship is different) ... what would the most important thing be?? If you had to pick only one word....which one word would it be? Hard? Or maybe not ... Will your partner answer the same??

I just did a test here...I knew my word.... asked the hubby..and it was a match! What was the word??

RESPECT
What is yours??

What was or will be your Wedding Song??

I have asked this question before...but it has been a long time...and I have a whole bunch more followers now..(Thank you !) ...So in keeping with a theme here (see canvas image to the right) let me ask again...cause I love to hear all the unique answers I get ...

What is or will be your wedding song??

Or, even if you arent engaged yet ... and you have a special song in mind...tell me...





Our wedding song (see me and mr. geezees wedding pic here to the right-almost 9 years ago!) was Billy Joel's "To make you feel my love" , and I still get butterflies in my tummy when I hear it ...
So ..if you are stopping by , and you are a romantic ... share with me ... I have created some really fun canvases with the most creative wedding songs...and some great old standards....

Love Red ? Red Words , Red Walls, Personalized Canvas Art

Cool Engagement/Wedding Canvas, typography, with special words about the couple.

Red just pops! I love it! Vivid and bright ....just makes me smile....

Painted our bedroom red...so romantic !

What color is your bedroom ??

This weekend we went visiting my grandparents ... who I adore...and after 62 years togther are still in love and beautiful people... As they are gettig up there in age ... I find that I am taking a lot more photos than usual , so the kids will have images to look at when they get older. ...to remember .....they adore eachother so much... and it is so beautiful to watch them be so loving and affectionate with their great grandparents ..."nanny and poppop"

I have such fond memories of my great grandparents .. and grandmother ... my "nanny" "grandma" and "mema" growing up .... I miss them a lot ... and wish they were here to see my children grow ... But I am lucky enough that I have my parents here and one set of grandparents that love my children with that special grandparent love .... which is more than most have and I am grateful...

What do you call your grandparents ..... any special terms of endearment?

i carry your heart .... new baby ... new take on a poem ... new canvas ... love it!

One of the most popular poems people ask to be put on their Geezees canvas is
ee cummings
"i carry your heart"

And can you blame them?? It is simple and beautiful... the first time I read it, I got goosebumps.... and usually when someone has it put on canvas... it is for a wedding ... this was my first new baby ,new mom , nursery canvas art ...

with the poem .... and I have to say ... I LOVE IT!
Brings on a whole new meaning for me when reading the poem now.
What is your favorite poem???
