dancing deer.

who ever decided to make peppermint cookies, i tip my hat to you. who ever ate all the peppermint cookies in my office, i do NOT tip my hat to you!

good day, mates.

my friend sam just moved into the city in san francisco, isn't her view amazing? i can't wait to go visit her in a few weeks. i heart the city by the bay.

my brother went boar hunting today. i'm not exactly sure why, but i don't ask questions. the thought of him with a gun kind of scares me, triggering flash backs from my childhood and being chased with bb guns. he's almost thirty, yet he looks just like a little kid in the picture, young at heart.

our second christmas tree of the season. long story, don't ask!

trees of gold.

sneak peak into my homemade christmas cards, that no joke took 4 hours. i'm a dedicated little elf.

an indian summer is better than nothing.

mother nature is going through menopause and southern california is feeling the wrath of her hormones. i'm not necessarily complaining, but it's just not as fun decorating the house for christmas with the air conditioner on.

little buddha.

i received my first official christmas present, and it is the cutest! my friend, tiffy is so clever and always has the best ideas. i love the photo montage, brings back some great memories.

goodie goodie.

christmas came early this year, in the form of a ROLLING STONE subscription. i have the best auntie in the whole world.

i soften my heart, shocked the world.

oh you know, just the killers killin' it.

baby, it's cold outside.

scary santa.

ever year my mom breaks out the christmas decorations and i regret to inform you that this scary santa has made an appearance once again. for fifty years he has been traumatizing innocent children and giving them the stink eye.
