My favorite things...
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
[Repeat all verses]
So these lyrics are from a movie, by the name of The Sound of Music... I love this movie for so many reasons, but these lyrics seemed only fitting for this post, time & season! : )
Christmas is a time of giving! I love to give! my friends & family can vouch for that! I have already finished my shopping (which is unheard of, But totally worth it!) Okay, well I still have gift for my friends, but I can so do that in a short time... Once I figure out what to buy ; / But the hard part is not telling those who I bought presents for what I'm getting them! I think my favorite thing on Christmas Morning is watching their faces as they open their gifts from me... I love that almost as much as watching the groom's face when the bride walks down the aisle... But it is a magical moment then, and when I replay it back in my head.. Such a wonderful feeling : )
I can only imagine, what The Lord was feeling when he saw the wise men, sheep herders, Joseph & Mary stare in awe of such a gift, that the Lord bestowed upon their hearts and the hearts to come! It was the ultimate AWE moment! And such a gift to give! No one can out do that gift! ; ) I don't think anyone would want to!
These are great for gifts or to be added to your own Christmas List : )
Here is my list:
Downton Abbey Series:
Oh my gosh, can't say I have ever been addicted to a TV series, quite like this! It's sooo good! One of the reasons I love it, is the costuming! Omgosh, So gorgeous!!! I want a relationship like Mr.Bates & Anna, and Lady Mary & Sir Matthew... So good I tell you, so good! I recommend it 110%! (I'll let you in on a secret, I want to speak in a British accent after watching! hah!) The third season comes out on Jan.6th 2013 on PBS... I would say, you should check out and watch the first two seasons before it, so that you are caught up and not wondering what is happening.
Mac Lipstick:
My favorite go-to brand for lipstick! I have always been fond of lipstick ever since childhood. But I do have about 10-15+ tubes of their lipstick! I adore my lips when My eye makeup is simple & my lips are the focal point. : ) Go to the Mac store or a Mac counter... They can help you! : ) My new ones that I want ever so badly: Shanghai spice & rebel...
(spoiler alert: I hate their Lipglass, blech! It's too sticky/tacky in my book, and when in wind and your hair is down, it's the worst!
