I've been thinking of something I could post here that would be both useful and informative for the start of this year. While I'm not a fan of astrological limitations of what a person should be, based on when he/she happened to be born, I quite like the idea of jewellery (who doesn't, right). Flowers don't hurt either.
I've made a list of birth stones
and flowers which make traditional gifts 
for friends and family (especially women) related to the month in which they were born. Make a note of these for when you're shopping for presents for the rest of the year.

I suppose the April babies have it the best with their gemstone. LOL. Wishing you and your family all the very best during 2011. Thanks for your continuous support. I am sharing your post on FB. That way the guys will have no excuse about not knowing what to get for their woman ;)
I love my flower the narcissus.

The Calendula is coming out in Cyprus. Opal is my stone. :)

and we were going to give her a diamond
necklace. now, though, i am considering
an amethyst one!
I'm always curious about this, and thank you for providing the links!
hi anne!
follow up to your questions about point
#3:
if parents ask their little ones to do things,
like pick up their toys, but don't make sure
that they DO it, the kids learn to not listen.
i loved your idea about expecting more of
your teenager instead of anticipating bad
behavior or rebellion.
you must be a great mom!
I'm not picky. I would appreciate any of the flowers. :-)
Very pretty flowers! It's really refreshing to see on this dreary rainy day.
