On My Christmas List

I've tried to hold on out on posting about Christmas, but I think the week of Thanksgiving it's acceptable for me to start bringing up the most wonderful time of year!

I sent my Christmas list to my Mom a month or two ago and my Christmas list for Sean this year was very short. I told him all I wanted from him was a Kindle, since he's been so generous about sending me home for Christmas, as well as financing my various trips around Europe this year. So...I already know that I got a Kindle (since I'm the one who ordered it and all) But here's some more of my Christmas list!

1. A Pink Cover for my Kindle. I'm a big lover of pink and I think my Kindle would look super cute in this cover. Did I ever mention I also have a pink passport cover?

2. Every year I ask for a subscription to Budget Travel. It's my favorite magazine and I ask for a subscription every.single.year.

3. This Grinch ornament. One day I will have a Grinch tree!

4. Pearl earrings. Once upon a time I had nice ones. Somehow in the process of moving like 8 times in the past 7 years, they got lost and I can only find one.

5. I really, really want a new camera. I'm so afraid mine is going to bite the dust one of these days since I've used it ALOT in the last 3+ years. Unfortunately I don't have over $2,000 to throw down on the Canon 5D Mark II. Anybody out their in blog land want to contribute? I'll even put up a donate button for you... :)

6. An indoor grill. So many recipes I want to try call for grilling and during the fall and winter, it's just not feasible for us to start up the old charcoal grill. Enter this handy indoor grill.

What's on your Christmas list this year?

All I Want For Christmas

I've been thinking lately about what I want for Christmas. Of course at the top of the list would be able to spend Christmas with Sean...but that's not going to happen.

So...Here are a few items on my list.

1. Photoshop Actions and Textures from Florabella. As seen here. I'm really getting into using Photoshop and so this would be perfect for me. I'm actually thinking of buying this for myself after I return from the States after Christmas.

2. A dutch oven. Ideally I'd take one from Le Crueset, but that's a bit out of my price range. So, I'm sure I'll settle for a perfectly good one from somewhere else.


3. An original Ansel Adams print. Ok..so that's never going to happen, but a girl can dream right?

4. Remember this pink coat?



I asked my Mom for it. I hope she got it for me!

5. I asked Sean for the complete Twilight Zone collection. I'm a huge fan of the series and I always watch the marathons on the Sci-Fi channel. That is...when I actually got the Sci-Fi channel. This is one item I can actually check off my list, because I know he got it for me. Woo hoo!

What's on your list?
