Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you!

Pimp My Nutcracker!

Via NotMartha - Pimp My Nutcracker!

Dear Santa, ...

Christmas is just a few days away and I was asked what I would like. Hmmm, well, a large sum of cash in my stocking would be cool, but since that isn't going to happen, I hadn't really thought about it. Having two kids does that to a person, I suppose. I still can't think of anything tangible that I have a dire need for other than a roof over my head and food on the table. That being said, a few things that would be kinda cool to have are:
* Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Beige
* Sephora's Think Pink Vanity Brush Set
* Coco Chanel Perfune
* Frederic Fekkai Shampoo & Conditioner (multiple bottles)
* An Amazon.Com e-certificate (for more craft books!)
* A QVC gift card (because one of my favorite makeup artists has a new line premiering on there next year!)

I won!

Nothing quite like winning something around the holiday season! Saturday's mail arrived with a yummy lipgloss I won from NAO Cosmetics! Okay, so it's not a lotto jackpot, but still - I won! I won! They sent me the limited edition lip gloss in Escapism (pictured at right).

Coinstar

I'm posting this as more of a note reminder to myself more than anything - Coinstar - can now turn change into Amazon e-certficates! Can you say more craft books?!?!

Penguins at Target

Spotted during a quick dash to Target this morning - these cute humidifers made to look like penguins, pandas and frogs.

The things you see along the side of the road...

Here's a picture of an emu I spotted along the road on a weekend outing yesterday... You never know what you'll find along the road here in California!
