the most wonderful time of the year...

is not here yet, but you may as well start getting ready, as it is inevitable.

to prep you for holiday cheer, i'll do a post once a week with inspiring holiday goodies.

god knows i need help getting in the mood (holiday-wise) because it's still sunny and in the 80s here in the desert. not so much the weather i am used to this time of year.

so let's help each other. please let me know if you've found any wonderful holiday treats you can't live without!

week 1: ornaments

love the colors and beading on these candy cane ornaments from michima.




the simplicity of this one from paloma's nest is wonderful.




wouldn't this little bird by rosybird look adorable on any tree?




equally adorable is this collection of critters by skunkboy creatures. so cute!

i voted!

mr. m and i got up at 5 am to vote. we saw a lot of people out as we were walking to our polling station, and, even though we got there at 5:45, there we already about 50 people in line. no one seemed to mind the wait. it was really exciting to see so many people out voting.

so go do your civic duty!

john mccain was scheduled to vote at our polling place later in the day. i guess my vote was going to cancel his out.
