Let's talk adornments--

Recently I made a list for my husband of all the possible presents he could buy me. I know that seems a little indulgent but holidays make him panic and his usual romantic and creative nature seems to vanish. So, this list--it ranges from cheap to expensive and from practical to totally outrageous. I laminated it and put it in his wallet. Number one on the list is this asymmetrical necklace. Number two are these hair pins

I'm definitely thinking of trying my hand at making both but for now they're still on the list. What's on yours?

Too bad I don't live near you anymore. I could so show you how to do that neclace!! I've made a simialr braclet and have all the jewelry tools needed! Hummm....oh,well! I think you have great taste. Wish I could take you shopping with me!

Cute stuff! I have wanted a red beaded necklace since last christmas and I finally just convinced sam to get me one the other week 'cause it was on sale and I love it and wear it all the time! Today I made a whole list of Christmas wishes, but not just for me; it goes from Christmas decorations to stuff for tate and so on. It's kind of long ;) You are lucky you have such a creative and romantic husband though, Sam needs a lot of help in that area. I think he is a lot like his dad or at least that's what I hear. I agree though you have excellent taste and I too wonder why I never went shopping with you when you guys were up here. It's funny I think I've changed a lot since that time and now we would probably have a lot more in common. But then again maybe not 'cause I'm still weird :)

On top of the list this year is a "honey do" item, which Kier doesn't like so much. Much easier to go and buy something so I know if it happens then he's really gone above and beyond. It's to make a girl baby room, with paint and everything. (The only babies we've had here are the 3 boys and I'm ready for a major overhaul.) My fingers are crossed!!!

I am a fan of making lists for Christmas, but not for me - I like to see what others (Kurt, namely) find that make them think of me! I always make a "to do decorating" list and a gift list for family...
