The Christmas Jar


A Christmas Jar is a pickle jar, peanut butter jar, Mason jar or whatever else you have around to collect your spare change each day.
All coins are dedicated to the jar, and during the week before Christmas you carefully select someone to give it to anonymously. Was a neighbor laid off? Is a coworker struggling with health problems? Has a friend lost a loved one?
Simply put your jar on their porch, in their car, on their desk--wherever--and you could change their life for good!
$50, $100, even $200, you'll be surprised how much change you can generate and how much you can affect someone's life.
Will you pledge to give away a Christmas Jar this year?

SKIRTS I LOVE


I love skirts. All skirts. Even skirts that trees wear.....


Skirts are fun to wear. They swish around your knees. They drape over my legs when I sit down. They blow in the wind. The variety of  is enormous! Different lengths, different shapes, colors, prints, lace, eyelets, lauered, lined and petticoat . Sheer or textured...trousers are so boring in comparison. They make me feel different. They are the epitome of femininity. I'm much better behaved in a skirt, more obedient, more courteous, more graceful and lady like. Skirts make me feel like a woman.Skirts are romantic...dreamy...when I think about being kissed, I'm always wearing a skirt.




Here are just a few of my favorites...


Show off your sexy legs with lace skirt.


A black lace skirt emphasizes the sexy and gorgeous side of a woman.



Skirts in lace are extremely sexy. However, they need to be match on any plain and simple tops to emphasize their beauty, avoid pairing them with lacey or patterned blouses.  They are really a great match on any kind of shoes especially with wedges and medium heels.
