Snuggies in the NYC 0
I’m sitting here at my desk, deciding what to write for my first official post on my new GiftScrap blog.
Living in New York City has it’s perks for sure, but I often wonder why I don’t live somewhere warm? Maybe it’s because of the fast paced nature of NYC which is hard to find somewhere else. Or is it because in one 400 square foot store I can purchase fresh flowers, a bag of flour, lottery tickets, orange juice and a cactus all in one trip? It also could be that in a 5 block radius, I have over 20 restaurants to choose from. I don’t have to spell it out any further – we all know that NYC is an awesome city and I couldn’t picture living anywhere else at this point in my life.
So, instead of complaining about how cold it is here, I invested in a Snuggie. For those of you who live under a rock and don’t know what a Snuggie is, here is a funny clip from the Ellen show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOhrsLEozZs
Laugh all you want, I love my Snuggie. And it actually does keep me warm and my hands free! Without my Snuggie, which I am actually wearing right now, I would have a hard time typing this blog…and even creating a scrapbook or two.
For those of you who are also wondering what “GiftScrap” actually is, it’s my new scrapbooking business. http://www.giftscrap.com I started the company after giving a hand made scrapbook to one of my best friends for her birthday. It took me weeks to complete but it was so worth it when she opened the book and started to cry. I had pictures of her from her early childhood, all the way up to her current life in NYC. She said that she had never received such a thoughtful gift, and after hearing that I realized that I would love to create these books for more people.
Thus, GiftScrap was formed!
Ok, I think this is enough for my first post. I am signing off for now.
Keep warm. Snuggle up.
