PJ Team Gift Exchange

This week Sasha and I want to show off the first gift given in this year's Petsjubilee Team Holiday Gift Exchange. I was given Sue from FrumsGlassMenagerie to find something special to give her. The information was very helpful and let me know she collected Christmas cat and dog decorative items. Plus, she had three Italian greyhounds. Therefore, I looked up Christmas Italian Greyhounds on Etsy and I found this awesome stocking. It was part of a lovely shop called TheDogShow. I knew it would be perfect for Sue.

In the following weeks, I plan on sharing the gifts given and received through this year's team gift exchange.  So stay tuned to see everyone's new prezzies.

Interesting Info On Common Sayings Part One

You may have never heard of some of the origins of certain "sayings" in the English language. I hadn't! Enjoy! Pauline (from Paulinesfashions on ETSY)

"Cost An Arm And A Leg"

In George Washington's days, there were no cameras. One's image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are 'limbs,' therefore painting them would cost the buyer more. Hence the expression, 'Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg.' (Artists know hands and arms are more difficult to paint.)

"Big Wig"

As incredible as it sounds, men and women took baths only twice a year (May and October) Women kept their hair covered, while men shaved their heads (because of lice and bugs) and wore wigs. Wealthy men could afford good wigs made from wool. They couldn't wash the wigs, so to clean them they would carve out a loaf of bread, put the wig in the shell, and bake it for 30 minutes. The heat would make the wig big and fluffy, hence the term 'big wig.' Today we often use the term 'here comes the Big Wig' because someone appears to be or is powerful and wealthy.

When out on the lawn there arose such a noise

I sprang from my bed to see was it the squeaky toys.

Away to the door, I zoomed like a flash,

Around the corner to hide my Bobo stash.

The moon shone bright on the new-fallen snow,

Which hid all my yard squeakies far bellow.

When what did my bulging eyes should sees,

But a small sled, and eight miniature doxies.

Cause a little red driver was breaking no laws,

I knew in a sec that it must be Santa Paws.

More rapid than snakey mice his doxies they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

TO BE CONTINUED NEXT SUNDAY.....
