It's a 99 cents app for iPhone that will change the way you experience the world. It translates color into musical sound and creates mind blowing music while you are exploring an image with a touch of you finger. You for the first time can hear the color and see the sound. It will be available in iTunes in a day or so. It's truly groundbreaking and everyone should experience this. Pixound is the name

We are two friends from Mahopac, NY who had a dream of starting a small business where we could use our talents to produce a very unique product. We digitally personalize beautiful photographs (taken by us) with names, dates, or messages that are meaningful to our customers. We can "carve" names in trees or fences, "write" in the snow or beach, as a few examples. Our prints are archival quality and will last a lifetime, and yet they are very affordable. Please check us out!

Do you miss getting real mail? Do you long for poetry to come to your door? Searching for a unique gift for yourself or a loved one? If you said yes to any or all of the above, then check out Hold the Line. As a prize-winning published poet (Terrain Tracks: New Rivers Press), I aim to share beauty this holiday season. With Hold the Line, an original poetry service, I’ll send my own new poems (hand-written!) with other treats in the mail to you or a recipient of your choice. You can receive or send one mailing for a special celebration or you can sign up for ongoing delivery of poetic gems! Learn more at http://purvipoets.net/hold-the-line.

I own HAVEN, a line of chemical-free, handcrafted cleaning products and home goods made from totally natural ingredients! Beautiful, reusable bottles in lots of amazing scents from organic essential oils. I just made a fresh batch in preparation for the 3RD WARD Handmade Holiday Fair out here in Brooklyn tomorrow. It's one of the best fairs in the city and a really fantastic time!

Keep it sustainable and ditch the brand new wrapping paper! Try to wrap with recycled or reusable materials. You get much more creative that way. I like to package my cleaning products in canvas carryalls that are not only handy but double as their own gift bags!
