Happy 17th Day Of Christmas!

It's getting close to that time! I've wrapped a few of my gifts, but I still have a lot to buy. Yikes! Here are some cool wrapping ideas.

 Yule Log Favor Box
 Paper Stockings 


I think I usually have more fun wrapping pressies than I do buying them!

Favorite Film Friday #9: Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer/Happy 16th Day of Christmas!

I've watched this at Christmastime as long as I can remember!
If I could live in stop motion animation Christmas land, I so would.
I always thought someone had accidentally taped over the beginning of the movie with new footage when I was a kid. When I got it on DVD, it all clicked into place :)



I want a girlie Elf costume.

I always liked that Elf with the Buddy Holly glasses.

Check those boy entrancers...




Happy Christmas!

How Cool Is This?

Gingerbread typewriter! Maybe next year if I have a lot of free time, I can try (and fail) to make one of these. :)

Happy 12th Day of Christmas!

I love this time of year. I truly do. Why can't it be acceptable to keep fairy lights and tinsel up all year long? The world can be such a magical place... It makes me sad that everybody gets on board to help for a few months of the year. I guess I'm just biased since I like twinkly/glowy things though. There can be magic in the Springtime when sprouts start to peek out in flowerbeds... In the Summertime on the beach collecting shells... And in the Fall when gusts of wind send Autumn leaves flying. I do think it's most magical at Christmastime. I've been working most everyday so far this season, but here are a few pictures I've snapped in my spare time.







Merry Christmas!
