speaking of christmas, if you haven't already, it is time to start shopping!! mom, if you are reading this, i know what is on my list! actually, i think i will make a few posts about some great gift ideas (for me??) this year. (so, keep reading, mom :)

a lot of my favorite things are from french general. i listened to kaari's radio show (sidebar "radio")and i can't wait to get my hands on some lavender scents. i have always wanted a bead kit too, in blue? or pink? or white? i guess it doesn't matter. they all look simply wonderful.



this morning i took my daughter to be sketched by a local artist. i was so happy with her work, that i am having several copies made. so, mom, if you are still reading, i guess you know what you are getting under the tree :) belle-ah wrote yesterday that she has already started the christmas music at her house. well, i am going to join you miss belle-ah. let the holidays begin! cheers!
