I now know the perfect gift for girls and boys from ages 3-10. Matchbox or Toy cars!

All along I thought it would only be perfect for boys until recently when 2 girls in my family (aged 3 and 4) wanted the same gift for Christmas as their 8-year old (boy) cousin. I guess buying amt models would be on my list for years to come. I really don’t mind though, I think it’s also good that girls get to play with cars too. But the 3 year old has a specific request. She wants me to find a pink and purple striped model car. Now that would be the challenge!

I haven’t really thought of what I’d like for the year to come. I know it’s late and I should have my resolutions and goals listed but I guess cramming always works for me, even if they are just thoughts and ideas.

But if there’s one thing that’s bugging me, maybe it’s time to finally meet some people from the opposite gender… finally. I’ll probably check out some free online dating services since they’ve become quite popular and safe nowadays because of their abundance. Finding new “friends” online feels a bit safer for me than being set up on a blind date because at least you don’t expose yourself right off the bat.

Have you compiled your own resolutions and goals for 2012?

I have always loved doing things by hand. A couple of years ago I was into cross-stitching, and I remember that I couldn’t be disturbed for hours until I finish a certain color. I’m persistent that way. Then there was knitting, and I loved creating cell phone cases for my family and friends. I was even told that I could actually sell my pieces.

This year I’m thinking of going into Beads. Since I love wearing beaded necklaces, might as well make my own and come up with other stuff from beads too. I think I can even rush a couple of projects, such as key chains for customized Christmas gifts.

How about you, what tickles your fancy nowadays? Any special hobbies that keep you busy these days?
