Christmas Decorating!

It happens every year when we get out the Christmas decorations~ Rinoa wants to eat, sit on, or make love to our decorations. Pure precious hilarity. I bought her a cute red collar so she was very festive in her craziness.

Rinoa's silliness was so awesome I had to record it:



Isn't she such a goofball?

She wants to sniff and rub on everything.

While we were putting up our decorations, we watched Home Alone on Blu-Ray. Such a good movie!!

Also, I'll take this opportunity (since I can't hide it any longer due to that video) that I have done makeup tutorials on Youtube.

Totally. They were all done a year ago or so, so they're kinda old, but feel free to check them out and see how much of a raging dork I am in real life!

But PLEASE don't judge me by the screen shot pics of the videos, Youtube knows how to only give unflattering choices.

I hope everyone is having an excellent Saturday! Once my friends show up we're going to go out to dinner, then come back to the store and have a Minecraft LAN party. And probably work on another cowl. I'm unstoppable!

Cold Hands Warm Heart Swap 2011

One of my most favorite things about online communities is their love for swaps. Swaps for holidays, swaps with themes, or swaps just for fun~ they are glorious and heart warming. Doing a swap with someone or a group of people is a great way to make friends, get your craft on, and spoil someone with goodies.

When I saw that Illy and Sandy were doing a swap I was so excited to join! It's theme was Cold Hands Warm Hearts. What a great idea for the winter time!!

I was paired up with Liana from Just Us Folk and we had a fun time getting to know each other, emailing and Twittering at each other, and making a packages of awesome surprises for each other.

Yesterday we both received our packages and I just love my package. LOVE it!

Liana sent me gorgeous white fuzzy gloves with interchangeable bows! OMGee they are beautiful and so so so warm. My package also contained her favorite book Blue Highways: A Journey Into America, Cinnamon Dolche coffee mix, apple cider, chai tea, and Werther's candies.

The thought of curling up on the couch with a blanket, cup of my new coffee, and reading my new book just sounds divine! Liana said that book was her favorite, so I look forward to reading it. *^_^*

The cold was nipping at my face this morning, but my hands had never been warmer or so cozy than in my new gloves.

Thank you Liana! You're so sweet!
