    Christmas is officially underway.
    Mood: 05 Slowly getting into the holiday spirit

    We've embarked on the Whyte Ave adventure, our tree has been set up, the *motherfuckingsonofabitch* snow has fallen, and as of today I have been to the annual Butterdome Christmas craft sale. I always spend far too much money at those dang craft sales when I don't intend to, this time I came home with another gorgeous Shi Studio necklace -- now I have a green and a pink one! -- as well as giant pile of delicious fudge. I'm not usually a fudge gal, but they had flavors of fudge I didn't know existed! Oreo! Cookie dough! Nanaimo bar! :3 I brought home some Baileys and Tiger flavored ones too for Mason~ I also found a cute bunny-shaped tree ornament to hang up for Toby's first Christmas (he's very excited, I can tell.)

    I thought about doing Christmas cards this year, but the realist in me knows it won't happen. =_=; This month is already filled up almost and I just won't have enough time. Next year hopefully.

    I went out this evening and finished up half of my holiday shopping in one fell swoop~ I'm going to try avoid going out shopping tomorrow because after this damn rain the roads are going to be like a freaking ice rink, but later in the week I hope to pick up the rest of the stuff I need and be done nice and early. *Crosses fingers*

    Closing notes: 1) I am re-discovering my love for my Wacom tablet. I finally found a setting and style of outlining that actually works for me in Illustrator, and looks so very nice~ I can't for the life of me draw trace a path properly with the tablet yet though so I have to practice until my brain can start to move my hand with the right direction and length to match the screen. *DETERMINED* 2) I am shamelessly stealing Tawnie's fabulous seasonal bunny avatar for my own. Lookit how cute he his! :D

    those necklaces are beautiful - i've never heard of that site before. what a good christmas present idea - i wish i had known about it sooner. maybe i will hit up whyte this weekend to do a little shopping myself...

    and boo to the snow and the ice and the slippery dangerous roads. i almost kissed pavement TWICE today on the walk to work - even the sidewalks are out to see me injured. i might have to be a huge dork and buy those stupid traction tread things for the bottom of my shoes. that or else start carrying around my own personal bag of icemelt. i'm not sure which option is lamer.

    Yeah I love them, they're not cheap though... ^^; I bought my first one last year at the craft show, then again this year. I'm not sure if they sell them online anywhere, you may have to wait until the spring craft sale starts up to find them locally again.

    Haha, I look like a little old granny walking around now, I'm so scared of slipping on the ice I walk with these little shuffling baby steps. Last time I slipped on ice I cracked my elbow and was in a cast for weeks, I've been paranoid ever since.
