Do you guys set your table for Christmas dinner all nice and fancy? Do you have a centerpiece of some sort? I love all these selections and if you are crafty you could do them yourself for sure. My absolute fav and would totally try is the carnation snowman. Merry Christmas Ya’ll!

Christmas Eve holds a special place in my heart. Not only does the Der family celebrate all Christmas festivities on the Eve of Christmas, it is also the day that my husband proposed to me just 2 short years ago. I think Christmas time tends to be a very popular time to pop the question and with that in mind here are some gorgeous and unique sparklers. Plus, who out there doesn’t love to stare at some BIG.FAT.ROCKS??

Crazy Cat Lady: Ornament Edition

When my TP (Tipsy Pal) AK showed these to me, I knew I had to share with all of you. These are too cute and encompass everything about me. Someone that is obsessed with cats and funky at the same time.
After digging a little deeper, I found the creator of these little jewels (Old World Primitives) not only has her own Etsy shop, but has a neat little unique blog as well. Enjoy! Or just laugh at how nuts I am.
P.S. Lets say you aren’t as awesome as I am and want these in dogs–she’s got em! See here.

Christmas List: 7-year-old BOY Edition!
December 17, 2009 by
Anyone want to know whats on a 7-year-old’s Christmas list…?? Here it is.
- New Super Mario Bros for Wii – will Mommy want to play? Mayyyybe. Some of my favorite memories of Austin and I together have come from when I conquered SMB on Austin’s DS about a year ago. I felt like a hero with him cheering me on 🙂
- Star Wars Table Top Electric Pinball – Darth Vader + Pinball = awesome.
- Star Wars Lego Star Wars Limited Edition X-Wing Fighter – see above. Star Wars + Lego = awesomer. Finding miscellaneous Rebel Alliance Lego parts all over the house for years=priceless.
- Pokemon Sleeping Bag – Do we go camping alot? No. Do we have tons of uses for a Pokemon themed sleeping bag? Hellz yes.
- Blockus – strategy game that my son will love and I will hopefully master and be able to rub it in his face. HAHAHA! I mean Ho Ho Ho!
- Pokemon Puzzle – we can put this together while zipped up in #4!
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days – this is the fourth book in this series and my son has finished the three before it. Like I always tell Austin….always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. Seriously though, this series is great, and it keeps Austin hungry to read. Win, win.
- Snap on Digi Camera – Can hold up to 40 pics and its spring clip prevents it from being lost yeah right.
- Guess Who – does your person have hair? does your person have glasses? does your person have wrinkles? Whoever that is, thats one ugly ass person. But I love playing this game with Austin.
As a side note, Ben (my boyfriend) and I Santa may or may not have shopped at kids.woot.com this year for many of these items 🙂
Christmas Wishlist: Sarah Edition
December 17, 2009 by
The Mission:create a list of fabulousness that I wouldn’t mind showing up under the tree on Christmas morning if $$$ were NO object!
The Result:
- Tiffany & Co., 1837 Interlocking Circles Ring: I have been in LOVE with this ring since I first tried it on. Why am I trying on jewelry at Tiffany’s you ask? Because it’s fun…that’s why! Another thing that draws me to this ring is the rose gold, anyone else out there as obsessed with rose gold as me?
- Amy Butler, Carried-Away Everything: These bags are a tad pricey, but they are super-cute. I would also like several of her tote bags as well, but that’s for another post…
- Allens Boots, Old Gringo Cruzadas: Ok, this is the 2nd time I’ve mentioned these boots in this blog…don’t you think it’s time someone bought them for me?
- Anthropologie, Fire Within Posts: Simple, classic, and just plain cute.
- JCrew, Salon Bracelet: Truth be told, I wanted to put all of the JCrew jewelry line on this list…
- Williams-Sonoma, Le Creuset 6 and 3/4 Qt. Oval Dutch Oven: I just feel like I need this dutch oven because a) the Pioneer Woman uses one a lot when she cooks and b) who doesn’t like a lime green pot in their cabinets!?!
- Amazon, KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer: This needs to be on my counter in my kitchen…it will break up the absurd amount of red that I have!
- Crate & Barrel, OXO Pop Containers: My pantry has become disheveled…these should help…
- Williams-Sonoma, Le Creuset 12″ Fry Pan: Geez, you would think cooking was my hobby with all these kitchen items on my list!
- Pottery Barn, Tuscan Urns: These would look really neat in my house.
- Anthropologie: Shocking, but this jewelry box is no longer available, but I do like this alternative!
- Nordstrom, Michele ‘Deco’ Customizable Watch: I seriously have not had a new watch since I was in high school…
