Friday Flickr Fix - "All Wrapped Up"

Around these parts there are presents to be finished, gifts to be wrapped, and a house full of crafting supplies to be organized before my family descends upon us for Christmas.  So this will be my last post until after the 25th.  I hope that you have a holiday filled with warmth, magic, comfort, and joy!

Mine... All Mine! Muwahahaha!

Here are the latest and greatest good buys I've had the pleasure of making on Etsy.  Each one of these sellers gives such incredible attention to detail... check 'em out!  I love my newest treasures... thanks so much guys!

Oh Martha...

Have you ever surfed and searched for that perfect project or recipe on Martha Stewart online only to discover later that that oh-so-special link is nowhere to be found?  Well, hopefully I'm not alone... because then you can join me in my excitement over this: Martha Stewart's Community Table (found via the lovely One Good Bumblebee blog)!  Sing up for free and start your own collection of favorites... tag pages for easy reference, rate projects and more!  Useful and fun!  Take a look at the start of my collection.

The Season's Most Steadfast Accessory...

I caught it... this season's SUPER BUG.  Darn it all!

In the past 4 days I've blown through so many tissue boxes I'm sure there's an entire mountainside void of trees because of me (sorry little woodland creatures).  My sinuses feel like they did when: in in  jr. high you perched on the edge of the high-dive, certain that your too large bathing suit would somehow magically transform you into a swan of dexterity and grace... but then you were brought crashing back to reality as you slipped, hit your head, and ripped your suit all in one... water lodging itself somewhere in between your sinuses and brain as you hit the water with all the grace of an elephant executing a triple-backflip .  Oh wait... did that only happen to me!  Oops!

In any event, for lack of the proper brainpower to compose a coherent or cohesive post, here's my survival guide for this season of sickness:

-Chai Tea Latte
-Pandora Radio
-My Flickr Favorites (always a pick-me-up)
-Homeopathy (My Mom would be proud)

As Promised...

Here is a picture of the prizes (Sir Earl Gray, Ms. Chamomile, and Miss Lemon Herb) !  Hope you like what you see!  ...and thank you ALL for your lovely, warm, and endearing wishes for my birthday!  It means so much to me! xo, Ez
