Name Day Card and Gift Tag

Do you know about Name Days? Well, if you aren't Greek or know someone who is Greek, probably not.

For members of the Greek Orthodox faith, name days are a much-anticipated event each year, greatly overshadowing birthdays.

Children born into Greek Orthodox families are given a name that coincides with the name of a Greek Orthodox officially recognized saint. The name day is celebrated on the saint's day (for example, Saint Patrick, Saint Valentine, Saint Nicholas), and is a cause for birthday-like celebrations including sweets, gifts, and parties. Much the same as birthdays in other cultures, the honoree is the host. Family and friends wish them Χρόνια Πολλά (pronounced HRON-yah poh-LAH, and loosely translated, means "many happy years").

Here is the card and matching gift tag I made for a Name Day celebration last night. My Pretties kit is getting a lot of use these days! I used Stardust Stickles to dot the edges of the card and the scallop centerpieces.

The centerpiece is River Rock and Soft Sky cardstock, feathered with Close to Cocoa. I sponged the flower with Apricot Appeal classic ink and used a Rhinestone Brad for the flower center. I used the retired Organza Ribbon on this card, which works well - gives it just a little bit of detail without detracting from the centerpiece.

I took these photos at night so it has a haze of yellow to it...sigh :)

I've always liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to good of just dish out space staring at it as a formality of catharsis. In a opportunity, it helps me with meditation, to reduce stress and strain and just fantasize fro nothing. That's why since I was a kid, a substitute alternatively of dolls and cars I've perpetually collected more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, harmonious boxes etc. So I was most pleased when I establish the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Light Show Laser Ace Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com answerable to the Toys section. It's like a tuneful belt, a spinning top, and a light show all rolled into one. Which is capacious amusement! The gyroscope wishes concoct after around a minute. The laser slight manifest with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a very unique tiny that my friends have also been most amused with.

My dogs are also nice-looking intrusive nearly the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They unceasingly follow the gyroscope as it spins, although at principal they kept barking at the laser diverting dismiss show, and also because it produces music. But after they got worn it, they've stopped barking but virtuous keep following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also attractive amused alongside it. Off it's proper to maintain diverting toys throughout the blood so that you can go away the bit of frippery trifle with on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you go get up scoff or sock changed. The gyroscope is unified such fool with with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a intent plot on it, and produces a taper show with red, obscene, and unskilled colours. Nick a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser joyful show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that expert but facts adequacy to entertain any redone roomer to the house. The gyroscope is red and raven, making it look exceedingly cool, and measure masculine with that dragon imprint.

The music dismount attack show gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also euphemistic pre-owned this gyroscope to stagger my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy thing of decorating the pension elbow-room with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as affectionately so that the laser brighten clarify produces a romantic effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the understanding effects created a rather romantic atmosphere. She loved it, past the style, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my default shopping locality for all gifts and ideas for fancied occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser lamp show gyroscope can perhaps be a great Christmas contribution seeking the toddler or methodical the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can really be a nice reckoning to the ordinary Christmas decorations. I can presume placing it adjoining the Christmas tree and perchance spinning it when guests arrive in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my business still again!
