leaving on a jet plane, ahem, amtrak train

Sunday morning, I leave from Newport News, VA.  Approximately 10 hours later I'll arrive in New Haven, CT.  I can't wait to see the boyfriend and meet his family.

Alice in Wonderland Trailer

SQUEE!!!!

Wait for it...

Last year's GAP holiday commercials are my favorite. They called them Gap Merry Mix It. The all cast rendition of Jingle Bells is my favorite. Enjoy...

Hold Tight

Because of this, this has been given a new deadline of January 9th. Who can be crafty with snow falling out of the sky?

Talk to the moose!

Big thanks to Caitlin for telling me about this. I love the blond girl around the 9 second mark.

"a Little, Small, Wee Bear, a Middle-sized Bear, and a Great, Huge Bear"

There's a new feature on here. It's over there. To the right. See it?

Check out my postings on Posterous. I mostly post random little things that are too long for Twitter and too short for this blog.

(There's a The Story of the Three Bears comparison to be made here. Go for it.)

12 days of christmas song

I saw this picture and had to share it. Enjoy.

have i finally found a headboard i actually want??

I think I have!  I found it on Design*Sponge ('cuz that's where I find most stuff).  It's another DIY thing (grrr!!), though.  Check out the other headboards here.

I Challenge You!

No, not you, but me. I was (finally) working my way through my Google Reader when I came across this on Design*Sponge. I saw the picture of the finished wreath first and thought to myself "That's soooo pretty. I want one, too!" I've never been very good at making wreaths so I stopped trying (know your weaknesses, people) but, BUT!!, I think I might be able to make this one. (famous last words coming up...) It looks super easy.

Why am I telling you this? Because I know me. I'll tag it in Reader and then forget about it. I really do want to try and make it so I am calling myself out. My deadline to make this lovely, ruffly wreath is Sunday, December 20th.

The clock starts.... now!

Neat

I saw these Digital Day Counters on Shelterrific today and I think they are so neat! If you're tired of going low-fi and writing the date opened on one of those little round stickers then this is your solution.
