QUESTION: Friday Finds?

WHAT I LEARNED: There's always more to share.

BIRTHDAY BUDDIES

First off, thanks to all the wonderful folks who stopped by to say Happy Birthday this week! It really meant a lot to me. All of you are my first and foremost Friday Finds.

IN THE AIR

My next find is one of the excellent presents I got from my family this year. It�s the Scent Stories Player. What a cool idea. Pop in a scent disc like one of the two my family gave me - Exploring a Mountain Trail or Wandering Barefoot on the Shore - and you've got instant mood plus. The disc player moves through five scents � one every half hour � and the quality of the scents is excellent. I�m hooked. Now on to Shades of Vanilla, Relaxing in the Hammock, Strolling through the Garden, and Celebrate the Holidays.

E-CARD CRAZY

Thinking of the holidays brings me to e-cards, I love e-cards. Yvonne at forty-plus sent me a hysterical one from Hallmark for my birthday. She�s the best! I like the cards from Blue Mountain and have a membership there but you don�t have to be a member to send their free e-cards. Check out the Blue Mountain screensavers. They also have some special holiday screensavers. I think they are darling and they are free! If you like e-cards and these fun little screensavers, then you might also want to visit American Greetings. They also have some fun screensavers including a few to get you in the holiday spirit

E-INVITATIONS

With holidays coming up, Evite is a handy online service to keep in mind for inviting friends and family to everything from a quiet dinner to a big holiday party. I think these would be fun to use with my own kids to invite them to a special family event like a gift-wrapping night or family-tree trimming afternoon. One of my friends just sent me an invitation to a party she is having this way and I thought it was pretty clever. I liked all the extra bells and whistles it had - like message boards and an RSVP feature.

GREAT DIARIST - GREAT HEART

Recently we said goodbye to inkdragon and now we said hello to forty-plus. Yvonne is a mature, thoughtful diarist with a heart of gold and an honest and open approach to sharing her daily life through her diary. This winning combination of good words and good thoughts makes forty-plus one of my absolute must-reads.

These are my Friday Finds. What are yours?
