Augh. Too much. And it's all stuff I'd rather buy for myself, because I'm picky!
-A necklace with C's birthstone
-cute flannel jammies
- new laptop, since DH made ours virtually unusable for me to work from home with it.
-J Crew iphone case.
I've always got a list going on amazon just to remind myself what I'd like, especially for cds or books. I've got a giant cookbook/cooking gadgets list.
Right now I am trying to decide about what my 'big gift' from my parents should be. I'm thinking maybe a bike? I don't have one and it would be nice to ride around the neighborhood with DH. I can't think of too much else besides lots of little stuff, and my mom has done the 'big gift', bottle of liquor and stocking for a few years now.
My Food Blog
There are 3 lenses on my wishlist, but one of them is $1000 sooo that one probably won't happen lol. But the other 2 are under $500, so hopefully there's a shot
I've also got some books, clothes, frames, cooking gadgets...
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
Programmable Crock Pot
Rice Steamer
iPad
New Northface Apex jacket
Dies for my AccuQuilt machine
Tarte Lip Crayon set from Sephora
Stand up for something you believe in.
Keurig
Winter boots
Black flats
Moccasins from LL Bean
And some random smaller stuff that I can't remember right now. DH already sent out our lists to family though, so they can remember what it is. Apparently all I want this year is shoes.
ETA: My parents are giving us money to buy a freezer, which is something we need and had asked for, but not the most exciting or fun gift in the world.
- Sewing Machine
- Plum wool coat from VS
- Simple, yet classy silver/diamond pendant necklace (or cubic zirconium)
- Speedlight for my camera
- Cable knit black cashmere sweater (though I am having a hard time trying to find one to show DH as an example)
- A million pairs of cute socks
- Ditto Pam on the vacation - though at this point I would just take the commitment to a specific week that we can spend together, whether we go anywhere or not!
-Underwater case for my travel camera
-Urban Decay Naked palette
-A ski vacation
Socks, a travel jewelry case, food processor, bath and body products, Wii zumba

bigger cutting mat for quilting
