Tattoo's at No Charge

Tattoo Designs at no cost
Written by Donna K.
March 19 2009

Who can resist something for free? We're all looking for a sale or amazing discounts. I've found that the internet is a great way shop around for tattoo designs at no cost to the consumer. Getting free tattoo designs on the internet is certainly better than spending large amounts of your hard earned cash at a tattoo studio. Why pay a tattoo artist additionald money to design your tattoo when you can create your tattoo design, pay only for the application of your tattoo and save the money you would pay for the tattoo artist to design it for you.

The words "free" tattoo designs may lead some to wonder about the famous saying " You get what you pay for". Something for nothing is always exciting, but would a free design be something you would want permanently diplayed on your body. Every time you show your tattoo to someone they may question your decision for seeking your tattoo design free off the internet. Tattoo's are forever and require a lot of thought, but the great thing about finding your tattoo design on the internet is every time people ask about the tattoo your going to get, why you're getting it, what the tattoo looks like and the meaning behind it, you can show them and get others opinions before you make that massive permanent decision. There are multiple websites out there that offer free tattoo designs, however there may be only a handful that would be appealing to you. The flip side of getting a free tattoo design on-line vs. a professional tattoo artist, although more expensive, is that they may conceptionalize your idea better than a generic design off the web. In the end it's your choice.

Many who have chosen free tattoo designs will say they can`t afford to have a professional tattoo artists design their concept. There are tattoo artists that won't do custom tattoo designs or they only do their own designs. Using a custom design created by a professional has it's benefits regarding quality, but for those who cant afford to pay a professional tatto artist to do the design for them, taking the time to shop around the internet for a good quality design may be worth the effort.

Some free tattoo designs may be of poor quality and created by someone knowing nothing about tattoo designing, however, there are many excellent artists that submit their tattoo designs on the internet that are of amazing quality. Then again, there are those who are only looking for a "quick buck". A person would be able to tell whether or not the design is of good quality or not by checking for poor line drawing, thickness of lines, etc. Remember, a tattoo is forever.

As I had mentioned earlier, taking the time neccessary to search the internet for free tattoo designs, may be worth the effort, especially if you're low on funds. You will find some good quality designs if your willing to take the time to search. Having an idea of what you're looking for will be very helpful and will certainly aid in quickening your search. A professional tattoo artist will let you know if they feel your design is of good quality or even worth having it done, but that would mean you're already standing in their studio, design in hand, and then it's too late. If you find a free tattoo design you like , always double check it's quality before going to the tattoo studio.

Mastering the Skill of Cake Decorating
Donna Kirvelay
03/25/2009
You need to bake a cake for a special occasion, you know you are creative, but you need a fresh idea to work with. Every celebration includes a cake to be shared among the guests and family members. It is tradition to have a cake baked by a bakery, or to have a relative bake a cake for the event. If you are the designated cake decorator, you may be looking for a new idea for your next creation.

Below are a few cake decorating ideas:

- Characters: There are hundreds of famous characters to use for cake decorating. You can make any cake special by drawing in Dora the Explorer, or Blues Clues. Or you may want to cut up the cake to make the entire cake into a favorite character.

- Themes: Maybe you would like to go with a 50s theme, underwater adventure, sport theme, or a roaring 20s theme for your cake decorating. Use your creativity and find a theme that will thrill the person you are making the cake for, and the guests. You may want to have a masquerade party in that theme. Whatever you decide, have fun.

- Motor Cakes: Boys are usually crazy about trucks, cars, fire engines, boats, tractors, helicopters, or airplanes. Again you can use your cake decorating expertise to make a farm with a 3-D tractor, a racing strip, or a scene showing a fire being put out by firemen. Of course it all depends on what the particular birthday boy is fond of.

- Animals: You can also use an animal theme by cutting the cake to look like any animal, or draw in a scene using animals. It could be a zoo scene with several animals or choose one animal and decorate the cake with other decorations showing where it came from. Use your imagination.

- Food: Maybe you are making a cake for the opening of an Italian restaurant. You could create a scene depicting the building, or if it is for a chef opening the restaurant, a scene of the kitchen with different Italian dishes would be fun. You can also cut the cake to look like a hamburger, hot dog, taco etc... The sky is the limit when it comes to cake decorating using a food theme.

- Holiday Themes: I remember when bunny cakes became popular at Easter, Wilton has pans and decorating supplies for all holiday cake decorating designs. A heart on Valentines day, or a 4 leaf clover on St. Patrick’s day is a wonderful way to say happy holidays.

- Your Own Creation: If you have been involved in cake decorating for quite some time, or if you are a novice with an artistic flair, you can create your own cake based on the theme or the celebration.

Whatever cake you make will be the center of attention as cakes usually are at a celebration. It has become tradition to have a outstanding cake at every celebration. Knowing that you are the one who is artistic enough to make this cake, and the praise you will receive from others, will give you a bushel of satisfaction.

Coaching Girl’s During Soccer Training
Donna Kirvelay
03/25/2009
If you are used to coaching boys during soccer training, you may experience a slight change of pace when coaching girls. While coaching is the same overall, there will be a slight adjustment as far as goals, technique application, and personality are concerned. Here, you will learn ways to effectively coach girls during soccer training.

The first thing that you should understand when it comes to effectively coaching girls during soccer training is that all techniques and game play can be achieved from girls as with boys. The main component involved in soccer training is strength and proper timing. Girls are just as capable of delivering an excellent soccer game as boys are. It is important that you understand this right up front - this is especially true if you are coaching girls soccer training for the first time.

The second thing that you should understand when coaching girls during soccer training is that girls are often just as competitive as boys are. It is important that you have faith in their ability to compete and complete tasks as you define for them. Many coaches come over to a girl’s soccer team in a resentful manner because they are so used to working with boys. However, it is important to avoid this mindset. Females have proven to be extremely effective in various types of sports. It is essential that you do what you can to develop each of your players during soccer practice. Not doing so can result in a negative mindset among members of your team.

The third thing to understand when you are coaching a girl’s team in soccer training is that there may be emotional differences. Many coaches use various types of motivational techniques to get their team on the ball, however, the same tactics that work for boys may not work for girls. In addition to this, many girls may be quite offended if you yell while giving commands. Many boys do not cry in this situation. However, with girls, this may be a common experience. While it is important to treat both boys and girls as equals, it is equally important to safeguard the way that you act and react with each.

When you coach girls during soccer training, you will find that the parents can be similar in attitude as far as coaching methods are concerned. You may or may not have issues with parents. If parents do confront you in a threatening way, remember to stay as professional as possible. Let them know that you understand their position. If you have an opinion on the situation, then you should express it as well. Parents should be welcomed to express their concerns, ask questions, or share their opinions with you. Let them know that you welcome any and all feedback. This will help to make your coaching girls during soccer training much easier.

There are many ways that you can effectively coach girls during soccer training. It is not as important to focus on the fact that you are coaching girls as it is that you are coaching a soccer team. Keeping this in mind will help make the task much easier.
You also have to keep in mind, the necessary equipment and accessories needed to make coaching girls during Soccer training made simple. If you would like to explore further into this subject and find a connection to other sites that can offer everything you could possibly need to know about this subject, or equipment and accessory purchases, you will thank your-self for clicking on the link below.

Easter Crafts for Every One


Easter Crafts for Everyone to Enjoy
Written by: Donna Kirvelay
03/28/2009
As we all know Easter is coming up very soon. Arts and crafts are an amazing and affordable way to decorate for the holidays. There are so many different themes to chose from, basically, whatever it is that’s to your liking. Everyone knows the typical Easter eggs concepts, it’s beautiful, traditional and fun for the whole family. What about your home or lawn, decorating for the holiday seasons will put joy in your hearts and smiles on your faces. There is the Christian theme that is always beautiful and serene. How about the Easter Bunny theme, and make the holiday exceptionally joyous for the little ones. You could also change out the color scheme in your home to pastel Easter colors (pinks, blues, yellows and greens) and temporarily replace your wall art with Easter themed art. Doing these very special arts and crafts around the holidays not only brings the family closer together and puts a smile on every ones faces, it makes the holiday much more memorable and leaves you and your family with precious keepsakes you can display, and talk about for years to come. I know it always made me feel special when creating craft projects with my family, and even more so when I would see my work displayed the following holidays there after. My children have grown up with this tradition and they love it. These days most households require a two person income to survive. With that being said, we really don’t spend a lot of quality time together with our loved ones, and one of the greatest ways of making the best of your time together is involving every one in craft projects. It brings the family close and gives every one a sense of accomplishment. I hope this crafts project brings as much joy to you and your loved ones, as it has for my loved ones and I.
Bunny Rabbit Easter Eggs

Once your eggs are done to your liking, allow them to cool. Step two: Set up all of your supplies and have them ready. Step three: While waiting for the eggs to cool, cut out your shapes from the colored construction paper. Step four: Mix the Easter egg food coloring Kit.

Step eight: Take the long narrow rectangular piece of construction paper for the head band and make a ring and paste the ends together to fit the top of the egg, next paste the ear pieces to the head band ring, allow to dry and place on the head of the bunny egg. Step nine: For the finishing touch, cut a cotton ball into 4 pieces, roll each piece into a tight ball and paste one piece of cotton to the back of each bunny Easter egg. Once they dry you can place them throughout your home for decoration, give them to someone special, or you could eat them if you’d like. Remember to take pictures of every ones finished Easter bunny egg, so you can all keep a vivid memory of this special craft project the whole family did together.
