Gifts from the Heart

I decided to dedicate this year’s editorial to my staff.  I often have customers question me why our store is so successful?  My answer is simple and always the same.  I fell our staff is the reason for our success!  We have such a group of dedicated and talented individuals.  Marian our stamping teacher came with years of experience in the crafting field.  Her classes are always full of surprises and she often has sell outs.  Her dedication and loyalty has been awesome.

Christmas is just around the corner.  And what better way to celebrate this season than with pictures!  Pictures bring families together, make people laugh, preserve memories, make great gifts and are a great way to say thank you.  At Timbuktu Studios we are committed to teaching people like you how to get the most out of your cameras and images through one-on-one personal training and our professional workshops.  We believe in the power of images!  So we have compiled a few good ways to make the most out of your cameras this holiday season.

The holiday season is a time of year when we need to remember those who are in need.  The gift of giving can enhance the lives of those who are less fortunate.  Ro,Ma Jewelry would like to invite the community to participate in our first annual Toy Drive.

This holiday season, as you ponder what special and unique gift to give that special man in your life that has everything — here is an idea that will wow, impress and shock the pants off him — no pun intended.  Consider intimate sensual portraits of yourself!   With a great photographer, one that understands how a woman wants to be portrayed and one that understands the technical aspects of great lighting, composition and a mastery of Photoshop you can’t go wrong.  You too can look and feel like those models in Victoria Secret and popular men’s magazines.  This would be a gift of a lifetime that is one of a kind and only you can give him. 

“With Eyes Wide Open” will feature over 30 color photographs by local award winning photographer Sandy Fisher.  After a second bout with cancer, Sandy decided to answer the creative muse that had been calling her since she was young and focused her efforts on photography and painting.  With the same positive spirit that helped her battle cancer, she views life and the world as being full of breathtaking joy and beauty if one is really present in the moment and takes the time to fully observe.

Proper aquarium lighting supplements vital energy to photosynthetic plants and animals.  As the primary light source and in most cases, the only light source, proper aquarium lighting is essential for any system that contains photosynthetic organisms such as anemones, plants and corals.  Good lighting also influences fish behavior and is vital for the overall health and well-being of the entire aquarium.  There are different types of light bulbs for different types of aquariums. 

If you happen to walk through the Valencia Marketplace you can see an outside table filled with people socializing, smiling and having a good old time.  That table sits just outside the Smoke Zone, a tobacco retailer that not only provides the finest tobacco products and essentials, but a social environment for people to gather and make longstanding relationships.  “If you visit the Smoke Zone, expect to make friends.  It is a highly sociable environment where you will meet the finest quality of individuals and form friendships,” explained owner Zack Chrikjian. 

The holidays are here!  Put all the negative energy away and enjoy this special time with family and friends.  It only comes once a year, and now more than ever we need the comfort and joy of the season.

Over the centuries a diamond acquired its unique status as the ultimate gift of love.  Since the beginning of time, diamonds have always been associated with romance and legend.  The word diamond comes from the Greek “Adamas” meaning unconquerable, suggesting the eternity of love.  The Greeks also believed the fire in the diamond reflected the constant flame of love.
