Day 205: Oscar the Grouch (Sesame Street)
 

Oscar the Grouch is a Muppet character on the television program Sesame Street. He has a green body (during the first season he was orange), has no (visible) nose (although he claims to have one), and lives in a garbage can. His favorite thing in life is trash; evidence for this is the song “I Love Trash”.

How About Some Scarecrows
 

For sure it’s no secret that I love the Fall season and designing dolls for the Fall season. One of my favorite dolls to design for this season besides witches, ghosts, goblins, pilgrims, Dracula, Frankenstein, and mummies is scarecrows. Several years ago I wrote an article on my love of scarecrows and their history in a Linda’s Blog post entitled “A Teddy Bear As A Scarecrow!” and thought you might like to reread it now and see pictures of some of the scarecrows that are decorating my house this year

Light Up Martini Glasses And Shot Glasses Perfect For Party Atmosphere
 

Light up martini glasses are the latest innovation in flashing barware products.  Want to grab some attention to your homemade martini drink or wine?  People are attracted to light up items, and they like them even more at parties.  Some small investment in some light up martini glasses and wine glasses will make a big difference.  They are great for both grand events like wine tasting or just a small family party.  Light up martini glasses are perfect for improving any party after the sun goes down.  This LED flashing glasses body is made of acrylic.  One or more led light bulbs are embedded at the base.  The batteries can run for pretty long time.  Since the batteries can be changed, the life of LED glasses is quite long.  They can be hand washed and reused.  The bottom part containing the battery should not be soaked in water. As far as light up glasses, you can find any size and shape of glasses in the light up market from two inch tall light up shot glasses to jumbo led beer mugs.  To add more, look into glow straws and glow ice cubes.  They are so entertaining and you can see them being used in amusement parks often.  Why not bring the fun home too?  As mentioned above, the LED ice cubes are one of the best-sellers.  Light up ice cubes can make an ordinary glass flash.  They would be too big to fit into light up shot glasses but are perfect for color cups, beer mugs, etc.  As far as light up shot glasses, there are a few types.  Most of them  are actually water activated.  They light up when you pour the liquor into the glasses and the light will go away automatically when you empty the glass.

Marketing Trends & Small Businesses
 

I went to a networking function yesterday where a speaker was promoting his latest marketing book.  Boiled down, these were his main points from memory: creating difference; not benchmarking execution of strategy delivering value micro-targeting epidemics empowerment relationship management If you read marketing books & information in general, you might notice a number of terms that you’re familiar with.  There’s a reason why Sun Tzu’s Art of War is still being read to this day – there’s nothing new in strategy.  It’s just a different way of saying the same thing. Not to say that there isn’t value in reassessing & reviewing things like this – it often triggers new ideas or reinforces old concepts that have fallen by the wayside.  Yet, one factor that frustrates me about so many marketing talks is the complete lack of focus for small businesses (especially existing small businesses)

Planning For a Swing Set In The Backyard
 

Having a wooden swing set in the yard requires a thought out location that will be free and clear from obstacles (overhead as well), such as trees, fences, wires, buildings which helps to eliminate the risk of injury. Landscape helps to create that park side setting.
