MAJOR TALENT ALERT.

i must say, i've got some pretty talented friends.

one of my favorite things to do is to find the perfect gift for someone.

whether it be birthdays, weddings, anniversaries or holidays... i love giving gifts that are personal and meaningful.

makes them THAT much more special.

don't you agree?

well, my friend Shauna is taking painting orders up until tomorrow for the holidays!!

seriously, make sure you order one, you will NOT be disappointed.

so. worth. every. penny. spent.

BONNIE DUNE.

my friend Justin (who is darling by the way) is in a band called Bonnie Dune.

they are a LA based indie/alternative rock band

and are quite awesome if you ask me.

not to mention one of the band mates is Finn from Glee.

you know, the one and only GLEEK - Cory Monteith.

he's a cutie too!

if you have a facebook could you "like" them please!

it would mean the world to me (and them!)

our christmas spirit.

every year i look forward to my brother's law firm Christmas party.

they spend a quarter of a million dollars (ya, you heard me correctly) on the most elaborate party you can think of.

our favorite part this year was clearly the photo booth.

we might have gone back 3 times with different groups. (might)

don't judge us, we've got spirit (or too many cocktails?)

gosh, i love us.

Merry Christmas countdown!!!

FUN PHOTO FRIDAY.

(our decorated Christmas tree!)

i am completely in the Christmas spirit.

we spent a night this week getting our tree, decorating the house, and stringing lights on our deck.

we drank wine, listened to Christmas music and cooked a delicious meal.

i just love this time of year.

i have been switching between watching ELF and Love Actually at night before bed

(my two all time favorite Christmas movies)

i even once played a character in my dream from love actually, don't ask.

i am so happy it's Friday!

cheers to the weekend!
