Year of the Rabbit

Chinese New Year falls on February 3, 2011 and it's the Year of the Rabbit!!

Chinese Zodiac stamps are hard to find, so this year, we've decided to make our own!! Here's a sampling of some "Rabbit" acrylic stamps that will be available next week, exclusive to Pineapple Cove!!

Rabbit Personality Traits:
Although generally calm, gentle and loving, Rabbit people can be very ambitious and intuitively know how to get ahead in the world.

They are good listeners, kind and sweet by nature, and are therefore often sought out as popular and trusted friends. Generally noted for their physical beauty, Rabbits like to surround themselves with beautiful things. They have a good eye for art, design and fashion, and are usually at the top of anyone's Best Dressed list.

Google Calendar Tip

I don't have anything crafty to share today, but a techie tip that I found to be very useful!!

I currently use Google Calendar to post the Class Schedule for Pineapple Cove. I also use it as my personal calendar which syncs up with my phone...this is great because I just need to input once and all my applications sync with the Google Calendar, where I can store both personal & work related events. If you haven't tried it yet..you can find out more information here.

I love this calendar...but the one thing that bothered me the most about it was that the Title of the events did not word-wrap on the screen. So it looked like events were being truncated and I would have to click on the link just to read the title. Argh....a little frustrating.

Surfing for a solution on the web today, it looks like Google hasn't "fixed" this little issue yet. BUT, thankfully, there's some plug-ins that you can install which will take care of this problem. So I thought I would share how you can get your Google Calendar view to word-wrap the events so you can read them better on the computer screen.

Please keep in mind, I'm just passing along information that I found on another website. The installation worked perfectly for my PC computer. I don't know if this is MAC compatible, and results may differ for your computer, so please install at your own risk. =)

You MUST be using Mozilla Firefox for this to work. Click Here for the original article where I found the solution.

1. Install the Greasemonkey add-on for Firefox (if you don't already have it). You can find it HERE.

2. You will be prompted to re-start Firefox.

3. Install the Better GCal ADd-On. You can find it HERE.

4. You will be prompted to re-start Firefox again.

5. Done!! Now you can visit our Calendar of Events and have no problem reading the schedule.

=) Hope this helps!! I'm working on some classes now to add to January's class schedule. Will post photos when they are complete and scheduled.

Thanks and Happy New Year!!
