Wow can you believe it is August already, where has 2013 gone? Whilst August generally signals the beginning of many winter sports finals and some warmer weather, for the team at koolaman designs we are thinking about Father's Day. With September 1 knocking on the door, we are in full swing to ensure as many Father's as possible receive their very own piece of koolaman designs. Traditionally, we have a lot of Dad's and Husbands organising koolaman gifts for their partners. If you have not already done so, we think 2013 is the year to organise something special for the Father in your life.<br />
<br />
Dads can be hard to buy for and it is always easy to head to the nearest shop for jocks, socks, aftershave or hankies. So in 2013 let's think outside of the square and spruce up the Father in your life with a funky piece from our <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/hide-collection-c-151.html" target="_blank">Hide Collection</a> or something classic from our<a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/silver-cufflinks-keytags-c-141.html" target="_blank"> Silver</a> range. Head over to our <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/" target="_blank">Online Store </a>to check out our beautiful collections. <br />
<br />

much they love us and our children. It’s hard to believe that Father’s
Day is only <strong>57
days away</strong>. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: 11pt;">This year, show him that he really makes a difference.

<span class="usercontent">Wow! The positive response we have received from our
feature in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CountryStyleMagazine" target="_blank">Australian Country Style Magazine </a> and from our <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/read-all-about-it-koolaman-designs.html" target="_blank">Country Style Blog</a> last month has been overwhelming to say the least.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Never in our wildest dreams did we anticipate
so many beautiful comments and to come from all over Australia was amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We could not be happier with the story
and the beautiful photos which were featured. It is such a lovely feeling to have people congratulate us on our story when visiting pop-up-shops or whilst we are out and about. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="usercontent">Thank you to everybody who has taken the time to
provide us with such great feedback. For those who are wondering what all the fuss is about, try to track down a copy of the May edition of Country
Style, you will see the beautiful images pictured below and more. You won't be let down
Apparently some local libraries have them for loan, or you can always get a
quick overview and some behind the scenes pictures from our <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/read-all-about-it-koolaman-designs.html" target="_blank">past blog</a>. </span><br />

in Mildura exhibiting for the first time at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MilduraFieldDays" target="_blank">Mildura Field Days</a>. We
were thrilled to be invited to the new look <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MilduraFieldDays" target="_blank">Mildura Field Days</a> to be
part of the Ladies Day Marquee. This was the first time a Ladies Day
Marquee had been organised. It was certainly a great atmosphere to
share with other inspiring local Mildura business women. It was also a
great opportunity for our team to display our jewellery locally. We
often get comments from locals that they don't get to see our pieces
enough so when an opportunity presents to set up a pop-up-shop we always
love to be a part of it.<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Mildura Field Days was a well organised event and we had a steady stream of people visit us on Friday and Saturday. It was great to see some returning customers and as always lovely to meet some new faces. It is always very humbling and satisfying to receive positive feedback from people we meet who have not had the opportunity to share the koolaman designs experience.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Adding to the excitement of exhibiting at the Mildura Field Days was winning an award for Best Small Site. It was such an honour to be chosen as an award winner given it was our first time at the Field Days. For our efforts I was treated to a lovely meal with event organisers, received a beautiful hamper of goodies, some chocolate which is never wasted and plaque to commemorate the occasion.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Wow, the mad
rush is over all our orders for Mother's Day have been stamped and
posted. We suspect there are going to be some very happy mums celebrating
this Sunday with their very own piece from <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/" target="_blank">koolaman designs</a>. In the last
few weeks there have been many beautiful pieces from all of our collections,
carefully hand-stamped with care by our experienced team of stampers, pass
through the koolaman hub. The team has gone into overdrive to ensure all
pieces arrive for those special and lucky mums in time for Mother's Day. </span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" aria-busy="false" aria-describedby="fbPhotosSnowliftCaption" class="spotlight" height="800" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/944462_10151346219807581_299589907_n.jpg" style="height: 556px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 370px;" width="533" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hopefully there will be many mums who receive a beautiful pendant like this on Sunday for Mother's Day</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">On the topic
of special and lucky mums, Stacey and I feel very blessed and lucky
with our beautiful mother, especially this coming Mother's Day. We will not be around the children, but fortunately mum will be . The two
of us are about to take a little break and who have we turne to, to
help make this all possible? Our mum of course!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">We have
being toying with the idea of a little trip for some time, but have only made
it a reality in the last couple of weeks because our wonderful mum has stepped
in to help out with coordinating the children. Yes, there are plenty of
people who we can turn to to help us out, but like all mums that mother's guilt
eventually kicks in. You question everything, you feel bad about putting
others out, wonder if the children are going to be well cared for, what if
something happens whilst I'm not around etc. But when mum said she was
available to help the green light was given, the trip booked and off we go.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">There is
nothing more reassuring than having mum look after the children. The
level of comfort provided, knowing mum is near, is unexplainable. I think
that's just the power a mum has. After all, she is the closest thing to
being the mum without being us. In fact we think sometimes she is so
close to being us, it's unbelievable! Perhaps it is the other way around though
and we are more like her than we even realise.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Actually I
think that is it. There are so many things I find myself doing or saying now
and I think "oh my goodness am I turning into my mother? I think so!
At times I'm taken a back with shock by my own "mum like"
admissions. I've even found myself saying out aloud "gosh I sound like mum"! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Now we have
children too, I think being like mum is evident more than ever. We have spent a
lot of time with her, learned much from her and relied on her, so really why is
it such a surprise. Maybe it relates to the fact that growing up
and especially in the adolescent years the things mums say and do can be
annoying. Whinging about her rules and regulations are common
place. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">How
annoying was it when you would hear your mum say "If you can't say
something nice don't say anything at all (often associated with picking on
siblings). Well I certainly find myself saying this to the children now,
it is very common place. "Watching too much TV will make your eyes go
square" really? But now I totally understand the importance of
having the children active and not spending hours in front of the television.
Oh and finally mum would really drive us mad with this one "Have some
fruit" when complaining of being hungry. Fruit, why would we want
that? I certainly understand it now, the healthy eating message is more
important than ever, especially in a world where processed and junk food is so
cheap and easy to access.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Hindsight is
a wonderful thing, but at the time when mum would insist on these irritating
sayings, you would swear when you have children you will never be like
your mum. You will never inflict those routines and sayings etc on your own
children. But before you know it, your own children are here and bang you
hear yourself sounding like your mum. You even catch yourself doing all
those mum things you promised yourself you would never do. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Why the change?
Well now that we have the privilege of being mothers ourselves, it just
seems the old adage "Mum knows best" is true. What mum knew and
instilled in us growing up seems to have pointed us in the right direction, so
I guess we are sticking to the same model with our own families. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">When you
hear people say you never really know just how special mums are until you
become a mum yourself, we could not agree more. Something about
having your own children really gives you an appreciation of just how important
a mum is in your life. So to all mums have a very wonderful Mother's
Day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </span><br />

Yes, it is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CountryStyleMagazine" target="_blank">Australian Country Style Magazine</a> and we are thrilled to announce <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/" target="_blank">koolaman designs</a> has a five page spread in the latest edition.<br />
<br />
For those who know us and the koolaman designs team, you will know we are Country Style fanatics. How could we have anything but love, for this
classic yet modern magazine bringing stories and beautiful pictures from
amazing people throughout country Australia.<br />
<br />
Never in our wildest dreams, when we launched our business, we thought koolaman designs would be contacted and asked to
feature in Country Style .<br />
<br />
Here we are six years
later and the dream is now a reality. We were floating around the
studio high on excitement for weeks knowing we would soon be featuring in Country Style Magazine, after their visit to Koolaman Station in late November 2012.<br />
<br />
Although six months has past since the visit, we can remember the day in November vividly. Mixed emotions were
flooding in as the visit date loomed. When the day arrived there was
stress and nerves as we busily cleaned and styled the house. In true country style, Koolaman Station really turned up the heat. Our visitors were greeted with a hot dry scorching day as the temperature soared well above 40 degrees. <br />
<br />
We
were excited and intrigued, this was our first big media shoot at
Koolaman Station. Nervous and anxious feelings were upon us not knowing
how the day would pan out, not to mention how we would keep the
children occupied, clean and focused for a long day. <br />
<br />
The
Country Style Team arrived around 9:30am. After a quick meet and greet
with Sharyn who was leading the camera shoot, Leon her assistant and
Virgina the feature writer it was all systems go until the long hot day
drew to a close around 4:30pm.<br />
<br />
We had great fun working with Country Style to capture the story of koolaman designs. Whilst
the professionals were hard at, we were doing a little of our own
camera work. Here is a sneak peek from behind the scenes, certainly no
where near the real deal, but just a glimpse of how the day unfolded. <br />

Thanks Virginia, Sharyn and Leon. It really was a treat to have Country Style Magazine visit Koolaman Station. <br />
<br />
Don't wait, head out now and purchase a copy of the Australian Country Style Magazine for the full koolaman designs story. The photos are just gorgeous!<br />
<br />
Enjoy<br />

</xml><![endif]--> May is here and for the team at <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/" target="_blank">koolaman designs </a>we
only have one thing on our mind and that's Mother's Day. As we
gear up for a busy few weeks it led us to thinking, have you been planning
for a koolaman designs Mother’s Day? We think all mothers deserve a piece
of koolaman designs. It would be extra special too if you did not have to
purchase your own piece.<br />
<br />
We recommend you slowly but subtly start dropping hints to the husband or
the entire family now to let them know which koolaman designs piece you want
this Mother's Day. If you think it is not too much, maybe you could start
with a weekly hint and then up the ante, perhaps a hint every
second day might be appropriate.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Wouldn't it be lovely to wake up on Mother's Day and receive these beautiful hand-stamped sterling silver <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/kate-p-669.html" target="_blank">Kate Pendants</a>?</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
We can think of a few tried and tested ways to start planting the seeds for
a koolaman designs Mother's Day gift.<br />
<br />
1. Leave the computer screen open on the koolaman designs online store
is a good start, preferably on the piece you really love<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Perhaps ask them to take note of the beautiful sterling silver
personalised pendant Johanna Griggs wears on Better Homes and
Gardens. Suggest you would look equally as good as Jo with your own
koolaman designs <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/mia-p-641.html" target="_blank">MIA </a>pendant<br />
<br />
3. Visit the koolaman designs team at one of our pop-up-shops,<a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/exhibit-t-30.html" target="_blank"> click here</a> to see when we are coming
to a place near you. We are actually holding a pop-up-shop this weekend May 2,3 & 4 at <a href="http://www.magnoliasquare.com.au/" target="_blank">Magnolia Square</a>, held at the Malvern Town Hall. If you are heading to <a href="http://www.pooncariefieldday.com.au/" target="_blank">Pooncarie Field Days</a> be sure to pop by and say hello to Lisa and check out all our beautiful pieces on display. The idea is you try on and choose your pendant and
have the team write down all the details for you on a koolaman designs
card. Take the card home and leave it in a prominent spot where it can't
be missed. Believe it or not this has worked very well in the past for
lots of mums.<br />
<br />
4. You can always try the "I'm hard done by approach".
Our approach in this situation would be to go with the "I have
a friend" or "a lady where I work" has just received a koolaman
designs pendant from her husband for no reason, how lucky is she? You
might have to be prepared for a back answer along the lines of "Yeah but
does her husband make tea, clean the toilet, pick up the kids etc. what would
you rather?" Whilst this can bring with it slight tinges of guilt, don’t
give him the slightest indication he could be right, stay strong and move onto
the next plan.<br />
<br />
5. If all else fails head straight for the truth, put it out there,
tell them what you want. Take them to our <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/" target="_blank">website</a> show them
the picture of the pendant you want to order and walk them through the very
simple ordering process. Then walk away and don't ask any more
questions. The surprise will be limited to whether they actually purchase
your piece or not. It's not going to give you the whole wow factor you
get from a "no idea surprise" but at least you could still have a
koolaman designs Mother's Day.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">If a pendant is not for you, have you thought about a bangle? The <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/liesel-standard-adult-p-723.html" target="_blank">LIESEL BANGLE</a> is one of our most popular and fits up to 28 characters stamped around the flat side of the bangle</td></tr>

Whilst we are discussing ways for you to get the piece on top of your
koolaman designs wish list, it is a little remiss of us to assume you do know
exactly what you want. Have you considered<a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/gold-pendants-c-149.html" target="_blank"> 9ct yellow rose and white gold</a>, if sterling silver is not
for you? In the lead up to Mother's Day we will be providing you with
some suggestions which may help your decision making all the easier. <br />
<br />
Ensure you stay tuned to our <a href="http://koolamandesigns.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Blog</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/koolamandesigns" target="_blank">Facebook</a> page for this information we would hate for you to miss out. The koolaman designs team
is full of surprises so it would be wise to stay updated as you never know when
a koolaman designs hot deal could come your way!<br />
<br />
For now happy planning and hopefully you can have a little bit of fun in the
process. Actually if you have any hints and tips for getting the koolaman
designs piece of your dreams as a gift please share them with us. We
would love to hear your suggestions and in fact we are sure all mum's itching
for a piece of koolaman would love you to know the secret to success.<br />

</div>
We were very excited by the April 2013 edition of the Jetstar Magazine. We have always considered our unique hand-stamped sterling <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/" target="_blank">silver and gold jewellery</a> to be beautiful timeless and meaningful creations. So it was also lovely to see we have added another string to our bow, with others actually classifying our pieces as "wearable art".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ofB-3iUYFb4/UWzitf2gwBI/AAAAAAAAA_A/p3MgTQazozE/s1600/Jetstar+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ofB-3iUYFb4/UWzitf2gwBI/AAAAAAAAA_A/p3MgTQazozE/s320/Jetstar+2.jpg" width="224" /></a></div>
In the special report section of the magazine, and to our delight we found images of our pieces being described as wearable art. The <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/lulu-p-636.html" target="_blank">Lulu</a> hand-stamped sterling silver pendants and the <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/adelaide-p-757.html" target="_blank">Adelaide</a> from the <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/hide-collection-c-151.html" target="_blank">Hide Collection</a> were featured in the special report. According to the report, "if you are trying to choose between style statement and aesthetic impact you can have the best of both worlds" if you wear pieces from the koolaman designs collection. koolaman designs pieces have that wow factor when it comes to aesthetics but at the same time the quality of metals used and the care taken to craft our creations make of all the pieces very stylish.<br />

According to Mother & Baby & Toddler she is and if you are trying to achieve the same look as her the koolaman designs <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/liesel-standard-adult-p-723.html" target="_blank">LIESEL BANGLE</a> would fit right into the look portrayed by Hilary in the latest edition of the Mother & Baby & Toddler magazine.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KrfaZVRHKwM/UWzB1tZJceI/AAAAAAAAA-g/rKPpve0XgJI/s1600/MBT+Final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KrfaZVRHKwM/UWzB1tZJceI/AAAAAAAAA-g/rKPpve0XgJI/s320/MBT+Final.jpg" width="238" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Hilary is wearing a collection of bangles and bracelets on her wrist and something such as the <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/liesel-standard-adult-p-723.html" target="_blank">LIESEL BANGLE</a> or even our<a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/meg-p-710.html" target="_blank"> MEG</a> and <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/tully-p-699.html" target="_blank">TULLY BRACELETS</a> work so well teamed with other pieces and worn all at once.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vG_wF1IKO3U/UWzCI0j36yI/AAAAAAAAA-o/vAC0czM8J0w/s1600/H.Duff+Final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vG_wF1IKO3U/UWzCI0j36yI/AAAAAAAAA-o/vAC0czM8J0w/s640/H.Duff+Final.jpg" width="489" /></a></div>

<br />
The <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/liesel-standard-adult-p-723.html" target="_blank">LIESEL BANGLE</a> is not like a standard silver bangle as it has the unusual, yet very appealing flattened side. This feature is very unique and we believe this is why it is such a popular piece. People are always commenting on the beauty of the <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/liesel-standard-adult-p-723.html" target="_blank">LIESEL BANGLE</a> and we believe it is due to the uniqueness of the piece and the fact people are always searching for a point of difference. If you are looking for a bangle with difference then <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/liesel-standard-adult-p-723.html" target="_blank">LIESEL</a> is the answer. This beautiful sterling silver bangle can be personalised by our experienced team. Our staff use an artisan hand stamping technique, which is centuries old, to add that personal touch making the piece an even more meaningful creation. Up to 28 characters can be stamped around the flat side of the bangle making it very appealing to those who need lots of space for names, dates or special words.<br />

</div>
With a 500km distance between the two koolaman designs studios, it
doesn't happen often when the koolaman designs team come together. But two weeks ago
we did just that and most members of the team were on hand to celebrate our
Christmas in February luncheon. The lead up to Christmas was frantic as
the team went into overdrive to ensure all pieces ordered at Christmas reached
their destination on time. Consequently there was no time left for the
team to celebrate the festive spirit, relax and catch up.<br />
<br />
As the team members are located in various locations in Vic and NSW, we
thought Swan Hill was a central meeting place for a lovely long lunch.<br />
<br />

The weather was perfect, the river setting was so pretty and peaceful and
the food, which is another passion of ours, was to die for. <a href="http://www.spoonsriverside.com.au/" target="_blank">Spoons Riverside</a> have a
great reputation for a menu full of lovely fresh food and beautiful cakes and
on this occasion we were not let down. <a href="http://www.spoonsriverside.com.au/" target="_blank">Spoons Riverside</a> Thai chicken burger and
the ceasar salad were very popular among the team and the baked apple and
ricotta cake for dessert was a must.<br />

The team at the koolaman designs hub thought it fitting to provide you with
an overview of what lay ahead in 2013 and also a snapshot of the summer
2012/13. Hopefully you enjoyed the festive season and summer break as
much as we did.<br />
<br />
As usual, we overindulged through the festive season, but surely we are not
the lone rangers. Having Christmas and our Mum's 60th birthday all in the one
week meant a license to eat, celebrate and socialise to a maximum.<br />

Spending quality time with the children was also on the agenda. Road trips,
catching up with cousins, camping, fishing and skiing on the beautiful Murray
River, with a shopping/sightseeing trip to Melbourne, and spending time at
Koolaman Station provided much needed bonding time. Needless to say
though, bonding time can take its toll and it's lovely to be back at the studio
and into routine of school, pre-school and after school activities.<br />

This year is already off to a quick start and as the end of February looms,
we thought it was timely to give you a koolaman designs update before it is too
late. <br />
<br />
So what will 2013 bring for koolaman designs and all our loyal and new
customers? Some New Year resolutions were made, but only time will tell
if we follow them through. New resolutions for koolaman designs
sometimes get lost in the mix of children, being a wife and having a social
life.<br />
<br />
We will be out and about as much as possible throughout Australia showing
off our hand-stamped jewellery collections. This will provide
opportunities for people to experience koolaman designs in real
life. <br />
<br />
We're returning to New Zealand for the third time to the <a href="http://www.thefete.co.nz/" target="_blank">Culverden ChristmasCountry Fete</a>. Our national koolaman designs pop up shop tour kicks off in

On the jewellery front, exciting times lie ahead. We will be
introducing some new pieces to our silver, gold and hide collections. Be sure to
keep an eye on our online store and Facebook for the launch of new
products. Perhaps you could even be one of the first customers to own
some of our new pieces.<br />
<br />
The<a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/hide-collection-c-151.html" target="_blank"> hide collection</a> exploded onto the
market last year and we suspect these funky pieces will be popular this
year. We are continually working on new ideas and variations to the hide
collection, so don't be surprised when new pieces hit our <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/index.php" target="_blank">online store</a> this year.<br />

The team agreed the portable battery charger for your car did not ooze one bit of romance. What really clinched it for us though was the fact you were clever and witty enough to provide a little payback. We love a lady who thinks outside the square. Guessing revenge was sweet that day? <br />
<br />
For those of you who did not see Janine's entry, here it is;<br />
<i>The most unromantic valentines gift from my husband was 2 years ago when he so proudly bought me a portable battery charger/starter for my car!!! Needless to say i was not impressed and so for his birthday 9 days later i bought him a beauty voucher for a manicure/pedicure and waxing!!</i><br />
<br />
Thank you to all those who participated in the competition, there were a number of great entries and as always it was difficult to choose a winner. But don't despair, in 2013 koolaman designs will be running more competitions and giveaways than before. There is plenty more silver, gold and leather to be won.<br />
<br />

either love or hate Valentine’s Day and I think I’m the latter. I'm certainly a fan of romance
and nice gestures, but really I don’t know about all of the commercial and
gimmicky heart shaped bits and pieces. I
like the sound of Saint Valentine, he seemed like a very likable genuine
character, according to Wikipedia anyway. If you can trust Wikipedia it
explains that <span style="color: black;"><i>“</i></span><span lang="EN"><i><span style="color: black;">The most popular martyrology
associated with Saint Valentine was that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were
forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the
Roman Empire</span>; during his imprisonment, he is said to have healed the
daughter of his jailer Asterius. Legend states that before his execution he
wrote "from your Valentine" as a farewell to her”.</i> Sounds to me like a very kind hearted bloke and
I can appreciate the need to celebrate his efforts. But when you look at what it has transpired
into today, I’m just not convinced.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Maybe I’m just a
bit jaded because I have never really been spoilt and romantically doted on by
my Valentine, on February 14<sup>th</sup> , any year. One year I hit the jackpot with a fishing
rod which was very practical, I admit, but not convinced it counts as romantic
though. Anyway, I have to acknowledge, he’d be dammed if he
did and dammed if he didn’t. If I
received some sort of frilly lacy red love heart matching set of lingerie, I
think I’d cringe. I would probably be more red with embarrassment, than my new ensemble itself, at thought of him going to
a shop and asking for assistance to buy me this type of gift. I can picture an over enthusiastic shop
assistant trying really hard to paint a picture of me, in order to choose the right outfit, by bombarding him with
questions about my favourite colour, style, padding, lace, skimpiness etc etc. My Valentine would be stumbling his way through and eventually come up with an
answer about me which I would not even know. I can
only imagine too, just how hideously itchy some of those lacy pieces must be
anyway, hence my distinct lack of colour and briefness in my boring black and white underwear selection. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">If he doesn’t get
me a gift, I’d probably casually mention in a conversation that one of my
friends had received a Valentine’s Day gift.
I’d then wait for the reply, which is true to an extent and a thought
echoed by me in the first place “but you told me you don’t believe in these
type of things anyway”. It's complicated isn't it!. But nice words and to be appreciated is all I need. </span></span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">But it leads me
to thinking, surely I’m not the only one who could be so complicated, am I? There must be hundreds of you out there who
have been excited about a pending romantic Valentine’s Day only to stumble
at the final hurdle. I’m not suggesting
for a minute that any of us are ungrateful and it is the thought that counts,
but everybody must have a romantic experience that is tinged with such badness it
is actually hilarious. Think of romantic
experiences that you can look back on now, which still gives you a shiver, but
you are thankful it did go bad and you didn’t end up dating that
person again. Perhaps you realised at
that moment if this is the worst it can be, it can only get better from here
so you persevered and ending up marrying that person. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />

For those who missed the entry, here it is - <em>A few years back, my mum broke a fingernail just before Christmas, so she decided to stick on a fake nail. As we were dishing up Christmas lunch, mum noticed that her fake nail was missing...we looked everywhere (mind you, we didn't tell anyone) and decided that it must have fallen off when she was doing the dishes. As we were all tucking into our lunch, my aunty had this strange look on her face. She had just had a big mouthful of cabbage and all of a sudden produced mums fake nail!! Mum was horrified but we all saw the funny side of it and still joke about it to this day.</em></div>

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way!!! Well at least we hope Christine Louise is Jingling on Christmas Day wearing her new <a href="http://www.koolamandesigns.com.au/shop/grace-p-738.html" target="_blank">GOLD GRACE </a>PENDANT!!! Congratulations Christine, you are the winner of the 4 Weeks of koolaman designs Christmas - Week 2.<br />
<br />
Your entry was priceless and kept the koolaman designs team giggling for some time. We know it is the thought that counts. But we agree with Chirstine. Receiving a present, which was somebody elses birthday present for Christmas when you're 16 would really offend . For those who missed Christine's entry here it is;<br />
<br />
<i>The worst present I ever received was a silver heart locket necklace (doesn't sound that bad really) on the back it was engraved with "Happy 40th Judy". I was 16, it was Christmas not my birthday and my name is Christine not Judy. At 16 I wasn't laughing but now it brings a smile to my face. :-).</i><br />
