Designer’s Depot

Joy — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 03:49:11 +0000

When I first read the title of this blog, Designer’s Depot, I really didn’t know what to expect. Then I visited it. The template is perfect for the title - the description is right on target. I was amazed by the works of art shown on the front page. So I started surfing through the blog archives. Wow -

I enjoy seeing a good work of art. I am not into the wild kind of ‘modern’ art where you cannot tell if it is a can of paint that spilled on the canvas or if someone had a paintball fight. What I like is to see the talent and imagination of a truly talented artist.

I am not an art critic, just an ordinary person. The works of art on this blog shown in pictures, videos, and animated characters are amazing. One page is on paintings with light - amazing.

Give yourself a treat - browse through this blog.

Do Right For Yourself - Holistic Health

Joy — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 22:35:58 +0000

Holistic Health. What is it? Wikipedia defines it as “Holistic health is a philosophy of medical care that views physical and mental aspects of life as closely interconnected and equally important approaches to treatment”.

This blog is written by a woman who is a Holistic Health Counselor that has completed her studies at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition/Teacher’s College at Columbia University. Her wish is to share her knowledge and experience with others to help them be the best health they can be from head to toe.

Since August of 2007, she has published over 33 posts on various subjects including yoga breathing and movements, sugar substitutes, herbs, different parts of the body - a list of categories I could not possibly list them all here.

Take a gander - what can you lose? Only some piece of information that could change your life and your health.

Elvis Lover

Joy — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 22:15:35 +0000

Are you an Elvis Lover? I am, though probably not as enthusiastically as other are. And why shouldn’t we be? This young man is the American Dream - born into a family with not much, struggled to get some education, found a talent, made use of that talent, and grew to be one of the most famous men in his profession. Elvis was talented. He had a personality that came through his music. He was versatile. How many forms of music did he perform in? Several that I know of. I saw every one of his movies and knew most of his songs by heart.

Back to the blog. There is a log of information about Elvis there - and a lot of trivia. The blogger keeps the theme of Elvis running through the blog - it is obvious he admires Elvis. There are other topic posted there also, among which are : family chicago gardening elvis halloween and pumpkins.

Whether you want to take a nostalgic look at a legend, or just learn about the man Grandma or Mom is nuts about, you need to visit:
