It's almost the biggest food day of the year and I don't feel like eating at all. I think it is the fact that I work at a place that sells food-I am surrounded by it all day and now the last thing I want is to gorge myself. But hey, I am looking forward to Christmas this year-I am totally going to deck the one hall we have and I think we are even going to get a real tree! (I do have a pink plastic one, but it is just not the same.)
I am looking forward to starting some of my own Christmas traditions. After three years of marriage I think it's high time we start something-we've been kinda flaky when it comes to the holidays. As a child I really enjoyed Christmas Eve. Christmas day was kind of the come down after so much anticipation. I'd like to have some "Christmas day" traditions-maybe a special breakfast? I know Gwen wrote this sweet post about traditions-what are yours?
I am working on another wholesale order for a shop in Seattle. The woman who orders from me is an artist herself and is such an encouragement to me. I am working on finding a balance with working, creating, living-it's all a process but of course-I am sure you all know this!
I hope to add a bunch of hairpins and journals to the shop this week. I think they would be great gifts. And hey-have you seen this gift guide?
James told me to write a letter to Santa-yup-i am five!
So...here's my horribly unprofessional gift guide:
1. This book. I have wanted it for soooo long.
2. This calendar so I can write a little note on each day. I bought this one for myself-but I don't want to mess it up.
3. One of these wallets-they are strange, but I really like them.
4. A trip to the Japanese book store that is way out in the burbs so that I can get a Japanese book about Scandinavian style-strange but heh whatever.
5. Membership!
6. A trip to this store for some basics
7. a book from this lovely place
I am up to my elbows in mail that needs a mailin' so I best be going! Hope your day is beautiful!
