She has done it again! This time Sue Corral has gone well above and beyond with her new line of stationery. Sue is the Creative Director for Page Stationery and she has created some marvelous products in her past but this year we are fortunate to have many new arrivals.

They include a new line of Holiday photo cards, which is comprised of letterpress holiday cards and a more affordable and quite spectacular line of digital holiday cards. Just take a quick look at what she has created.

Interesting Gifts For Men

admin — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 11:00:38 +0000

Finding interesting gifts for men requires a bit more time and thought on your part. These gifts are generally more oriented to the specifics of the hobbies of the man you are buying the gift for. If he is an avid hunter or marksman then this would be a good opportunity to find hunting gifts for men. If he is cyclist, fisherman, etc… the same would apply.

Of the many stationery for men out there I think stationery is a great one. I believe it allows a man to really communicate himself freely. Being a good writer is a part of being manly. They go hand in hand. Body building and beer drinking aside, real men are much more than that. They are smart and knowledgeable and can perform any number of manly duties.

Fishing Stationery For the Avid Angler

admin — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 16:19:07 +0000

I just saw this new line of stationery which would make perfect fishing gifts for men. You’ve really Gotta see this. This stationery is printed on a thick of 300 GSM sheet of paper and is an A2 card stock. The motifs feature a large mouth bass, fly fishing lower, the trout, a saltwater lure and and anglers catch. What a great idea for a birthday present for your dad or your brother or your mom who ever you know that is an avid fisherman. This would no doubt make of excellent father’s day present.

I love fishing, and I definitely plan on getting some of the stationery for my personal use. What a great way to keep in touch with friends and colleagues who are also an avid outdoorsman. I’ve never seen stationery quite like this. Usually stationary is for women. Men just don’t think about writing stationery anymore. There was a time when stationary and was used amongst men and was considered proper etiquette. I don’t think that time has ever left us, but I think we don’t really bother taking the time to do it anymore. I’m going to change that this year. I’m gonna start writing more and more note cards for condolences and thank yous and I’ll let my imagination run wild for what else I can use a for! Here is a link to the fishing gifts.

Pet Hair Vacuum Problem

admin — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:23:09 +0000

I don’t know what the problem is but I guess I need a better vacuum. I have been using a shop vac I bought to do the dog hair that accumulated on the couch at my office where my dog sleeps. Doesn’t work to well and I will leave it at that. So, what is one of the better vacuums to get for dog hair? I was looking around the Richmond Va and saw the Hoover Vacuum. This place is based in Richmond. It was a Windtunnel canister and bagless. I love the bagless ones because you can rinse them out and just keep going. I’ll keep you posted on the results.

Richmond Chipper Shredder

admin — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 16:43:19 +0000

It’s that time of year again, and I will be rolling out my chipper shredder to destroy all those dead limbs and leaves all over the yard.
I had a Sears push mulcher a few years ago and it worked fairly well but the bagged got stuffed so quickly and then there were limbs in there so it would be hard to empty without shaking it up and down for ten minutes. So I sold it and now I am looking at the stand up versions like the Earthquake (3) 206cc Chipper / Shredder With a Briggs & Stratton Intek Engine. This thing looks like it will rock but it doesn’t have the amazon guarantee.

I also like this one

which is probably the one I will end up getting. It is prime shipping eligible as well. So I pay $0 for shipping and a no hassle return if I don’t like it. It also has 67 good reviews at 4 stars and that says a lot. I will let you know how it turns out.

Richmond Best Lawn Mower

admin — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 15:51:48 +0000

If you are looking for the best lawn mower there are several things to consider before purchasing. One thing I recommend is trying to find reviews from other users and owners before you head on down to the local store. A great place to find lawn mowers in Richmond is not at pleasants hardware. I would look at amazon. They are extremely efficient and have the best review feature of any website, period. Here’s an example. Lets take a look at the best selling lawn mower. If you click on that it will take you to the page and you will see it has 413 reviews at this time! Wow and it is at 4 stars. Click on the reviews and you can read what everyone is saying. That is pretty good information to have at your finger tips before spending over $200 on a lawn mower wouldn’t you say? Well the only thing is that is an electric lawn mower and I want a gas lawn mower? Well that is easy. look at the number of reviews and see that it is still at 4 stars but gas powered. I use these reviews for everything I purchase and they are pretty accurate. So there is my tip for shopping for the best lawn mower!
