Step Under the Mistletoe With Me?

With Christmas approaching in less than a month it's about that time to stroll the stores in search for the perfect Christmas gifts. Personally I find shopping for the men in my life to be the most challenging. They always seem to have what they want and if they don't they just go out and buy it themselves, leaving everyone clueless to what they will place under the Christmas tree for them. I, on the other hand, have no lack of ideas when it comes to filling out my Christmas Wish List. So for my family and friends who are pondering what to get me this year, all I'm looking for can be found below:

• One Prince Charming
• Two mitts with a string attached 
• Three pairs of knee high socks
• Four inch sparkly heels 
• Five big coffee mugs
• Six inch pizza sub with tomatoes and cucumbers (from Subway)
• Seven layer dip from Costco
• Eight snowflake window stickers
• Nine flavors of tea bags
• Ten dollars on a Starbucks card
• Eleven new black ball point pens
• Twelve peppermint candy canes
  
  

Sooo there you have it, my Christmas Wish List for 2011 :) 

Now if only I had a special someone to spend the holidays with... as of recently I am newly single in the city of Winnipeg and while I'm not necessarily on the look-out for a new piece of arm candy I can't help but feel a pinch of sadness when I think about the fancy Christmas parties and activities I may be attending alone this holiday season... Regardless, for a new opportunity to present itself sometimes it takes an old one to end... Who knows, maybe I will get my number one wish for Christmas after all! I feel like I've been pretty good girl this year (;


As well as being good, i've also been very creative with my newly found spare time! So far my decorations for Christmas are based my apartment living room, a few touches of ruby red and silver, sparkles and glitter. I am truly lucky that my roommate doesn't mind my crafty love as long as the space is livable and comfy. 

Thank goodness for the Thrift Store close to my apartment. I've totally lucked out and found really neat things that i've been about to somewhat make look Christmas-y! 

I've also promised myself that I would stick to a small budget when shopping for friends this holiday season so this is my work space (kitchen table I recovered and painted) where most of my artistic magic happens :)
