Sooo, since everything I should be blogging about is piled up like rainbow-hued clutter in the back of my brain and since I have a odd mania for knowing what other people get for Christmas, I'll share what I received from my very generous family (I apologize if you don't share my mania):
On Christmas Eve, I got these gifts from my younger brother, who picked my name in our family gift exchange:
This music is so fun and wildly Northern...
Yeah, I guess I'm a junkie. I adore this movie!
And then on Christmas Day, I got a red Converse blouse from my grandparents (I love Converse blouses!) and money, which I used to buy this:
These are the best things on earth for coloring (aside from Sharpies, of course) :D
And on the day before New Year's Eve, we celebrated Christmas at my Dad's mom's house. My Grandma gave me a box full of my Grandpa's old Peanuts comic books and these two outfits from American Girl:
I don't have Julie, but I'm a sucker for white ruffly dresses and American Girl's big hats...
I actually do have this doll, and the dress is so adorable!
Then, from my aunt:
It's a double-sided heart with Swarovski crystals
This gorgeous little Bible (NIV, of course)
These sweet little desk notes (she understands well my weakness for paper)
And a wristlet from Vera Bradley to add to my collection
I was part of the adult gift exchange this year and my aunt picked my name. She chose most of the books :) :
One of my absolute favorite books. Elizabeth George Speare is one of my writing heroes.
You've heard me rave enough about this one to know what it is... :D
Francine Rivers is also one of my writing heroes. Her books are SO good!
Meredith Andrews - yes!
And this gorgeous Willow Tree figurine. I fell in love with it a year ago... :D
'Till next time (and Happy New Year!),
