cool stuff! those copier thingy's are really cool and your car is adorable, Infini.
I got a Druzy ring and a knock-off (Kohl's) faux pandora bracelet with three charms. I asked the two sons to get me some rocks but they didn't even do that! sons....they're not like daughters. (me and my two sisters got my mom diamond earrings-----see the difference?)

A druzy ring is a ring made from the habitat quartz grows in(i think so anyway) it is pretty but not exactly rare or $$$$ but i love it. It goes different colors when you move your hand : blue pink purple green.

I love the little things. My fuzzy blanky is almost TOO warm. Hard to get out of bed. I got a cute calendar/planner called "Do It Later: A 2013 Planner (or Non-Planner) for the Creative Procrastinator. And a gift cert for the bookstore. Yay.
I also love my set of 3 flameless candles. They have a REMOTE. No kidding. Imma take it to UT's pawn shop. It's got a REMOTE! |

I wanty!
eta: I always light candles first thing in the morning then drink coffee with them and wander into my computer room forgetting that candles are burning and hoping my house doesn't burn down before I remember they're there.

They're great. I have them 'burning' in the bedroom, then I just push the off button to turn them off one by one. I love candles but I typically stick with tealights since they don't burn all night if I fall asleep.

Some surprising frontrunner gifts this year... First off, Minifob immediately recognized the marble run I painted as a digestive tract, and loved it. He also was quite pleased with a little stocking stuffer card game called "Get Bit."
Minifobette was predictably thrilled with "Just Dance 4" for the PS3, but even more enchanted with this butterfly-in-a-jar thing I got from ThinkGeek.com. She declared, "Oh, I have a pet now," named it after her cousin, and has been carrying it around since. Me, I freaking love the ant farm they got. I went out and dug up 4 ants for it from the front yard before I got too cold, and already that little team has got a couple inches' worth of tunnels going. So fascinating to watch. |

Many thanks go to Limey again this year for her repeated thoughtfulness and kindness to my son Daniel. This year she sent us these beautiful handcrafted sea glass ornaments from her beautiful Isle. Daniel is so thrilled with them that he basically rearranged all the "other" ornaments on the tree so these could be displayed front an center. They are just to the left of his other ornament which she knitted for him with his name on it. Thank you so very much, limey.

So glad they arrived! I was just now grousing that I sent four gifts to the States and none had got there. You and Dan are an inspiration to me for how to cope with the unexpected, and learn from the most difficult of circumstances. I wish you, Classic, and your family all the very best in 2014.

I love how the hooks are incorporated into the ornaments. Very cool!

Those sea glass ornaments are beautiful!
The 'win' gifts at our house this year were a reading glasses holder that looks like an Easter Island statue (my oldest son bought it for my husband, who constantly misplaces his glasses) and a clear bottle with resealable top that's easy to drink from, for my husband to put his chocolate soy milk in. Why was this a win? My husband pours his soy milk into a clean, opaque 2-qt milk jug because he likes to drink out of the jug (yes, he's the only one that drinks it). On Christmas Eve as we were mashing potatoes, one of my sons grabbed a milk jug out of the fridge and poured a good swat into the potato pot - only to see chocolate soy milk soak the potatoes. My daughter went straight out to Walmart and bought the clear jug.
