Atlanta Becoming The New Hollywood?
February 17th, 2016 categories: Atlanta, Local Art & Designers, My Favorites
Do you have dreams of making it big in the film and entertainment industry? Maybe you’re the next Steven Spielberg, but you don’t want to go out West. Well… you may just be in luck, according to MovieMaker.com, Atlanta is becoming the New Hollywood. It is well known that Atlanta, Georgia, has been growing significantly as a film making destination in the last few years, and it looks like there is no end in sight anytime soon.
Cost effectiveness and growing talent has added to the popularity of this location. Movies such as Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Ant Man, The Divergent Series: Allegiant, Barbershop 3, Captain America: Civil War, X-Men: Apocalypse, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, The Walking Dead, Quantico and Furious 7, have all been filmed in the city recently and have added to said expansion.
With this being said, if you are looking to advance in the film industry, as well as find a home nearby, Atlanta may just be your best bet. With housing prices that are far below its counterparts in Los Angeles, Atlanta has a booming real estate market that is perfect for professionals looking to be near filming. In addition to the professional potential, Atlanta and its surrounding areas has plenty of shopping and activities to partake in.

Home Organization Top 10 Tips
February 1st, 2016 categories: Deborah's Scrapbook, Local Art & Designers, My Favorites
It’s a new year and it’s time to start organizing! There are tons of fun, useful ideas for cleaning up and really arranging your possessions to the most efficient design. See tips below for brainstorming:
1. Use glass canisters to separate your kids’ art utensils.
2. Monochromatic organizational containers with pops of color give a fresh, clean look.
3. A “recharge” station is great to get rid of bunches of cords and devices all over the house.
4. Create your own rustic mudroom with crates and wood panels for hanging outerwear and organizing shoes.
5. Apply cork board to the inside of cabinets to hang measuring spoons, recipes, and other memorabilia.
6. Make your pantry look extra clean with clear containers and baskets for food instead of ugly, cluttered boxes.
7. Your coffee station could look just like this with a few shelves and hooks to hang your mugs.
8. Install some wire baskets above your counters in the kitchen to hold cooking utensils and create a rustic feel.
9. If you’re working with a small space, use pegboard to hold pots and pans. Use chalk paint on a door to plan grocery lists and meal plans.
10. Organize your makeup with small drawers and shelves. Separate cosmetics by step, as well as brushes.
Hope these ideas are as helpful to you as us! see more home tips and tricks at www.NorthAtlantaHomeTeam.com!

Foods Your Pet Should Not Eat This Holiday
December 9th, 2014 categories: Deborah's Scrapbook, My Favorites, Puppy Love...
With the Holidays just around the corner, we have a temptation, at least I know I do, to spoil our pets as well and share a Christmas Cookie or 2. With quest arriving and lots going on in the home, I just wanted to share this bit of info. with all those pet lovers out there.
Did you know there are some foods your pet should not eat? I make a wonderful pastry call rugelach and that has raisins. Did you know that raisins are toxic to dogs as well as chocolate so be careful when you break off a piece of that oatmeal raisin cookie or chocolate chip cookie.
FOODS YOUR PET SHOULD NOT EAT
- Chocolate, Coffee, Caffeine
- Alcohol
- Avocado
- Macadamia Nuts
- Grapes & Raisins
- Yeast Dough
- Raw/Under cooked Meat, Eggs and Bones
- Onions, Garlic, Chives
- Milk
- Salt
There are also plants to avoid in case your pets like to get into a little trouble inside the home. This holiday, be sure to lift those Poinsettias. They are highly poison to dogs. More Info. (Pet Poison Hotline)
PLANTS TO AVOID WITH YOUR PETS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
- Lilies
- Marijuana
- Sago Palm
- Tulip/Narcissus bulbs
- Azalea/Rhododendron
- Oleander
- Castor Bean
- Cyclamen
- Kalanchoe
- Yew
- Amaryllis Autumn Crocus
- Chrysanthemum
- English Ivy
- Peace Lily
- Poinsettia
- Pothos
- Schefflera
Visit The ASPCA Website For More Information (American Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals
One other thing to remember. Be careful when you leave those purses on the floor ladies, the chewing gums with the artificial sweeteners in them can kill your dog. Xylitol is used as a sweetener in many products, including gum, candy, baked goods and toothpaste. It can cause insulin release in most species, which can lead to liver failure. This has happened to me when my dog found a pack in my daughters room. We did not even know what the issue was until we came home and found all the wrappers. It took 24 hours at the vet to get her flushed out. A real close call. I am happy to report she is fine and dandy now and we learned that lesson the hard way.
So just remember the items above this holiday season and throughout the year. Share these with other pet owners to prevent a horrible insident that could have been prevented. Have a Happy Holiday and give an extra hug to your favorite 4 legged family member for me. Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah!

Evergreen Privacy Walls For Landscaping In Georgia
April 14th, 2014 categories: Deborah's Scrapbook, My Favorites, The Garden Shed
As a Remax Realtor, working in the Area of North Atlanta GA, we are selling homes and listing homes everyday.
One of the big questions we get when showing a homes is,
“What do you suggest we plant for a privacy wall in this back yard”?
When I first moved here to Georgia, I joined the Cherokee Master Gardeners and it was a great idea. The classes taught everyone a little bit about a lot of topics. From grass to Georgia native plants, to the best maintenance free shrubs to composting and fertilizing.
Anyway, back to the subject of this Blog, What resources are available and what plants to use to establish a Living Wall, instead of building a fence for privacy.
First, Here are a few resources that I found, instead of coping what they have to say. Keep in mind, the state of Georgia has a few Zones to consider (Zones 7, 8 and 9), so I have attached a Map for your reference as well. Happy Planting!
