My favorite Twitter drinking buddy Michelle said this reminds her of me. I have no idea why. I I am innocent…
Might have something to do with my Badass, slightly naughty Christmas List and admitting to umm, dating around. It’s called being single and having FUN, right? Right.
In NICE NEWS, (Santa, can you hear me? I’m totes nice!)
I participated in the lovely Micaela’s Ornament Exchange. I was a blog exchange/swap virgin! It was so fun! I sent off an ornament and some Christmas Pop Rocks to EQ in NYC (whom I blog crush on p.s) and I just got my ornament from Carly at A Girl and Her Blog!! Look! LOVE!
{I wanted to show you the cute owl in the corner! (And my Essie. lol)}
Carly got it at a Fair Trade store…it’s called a “Bird of Hope”
Hope has kinda been a theme around the blogosphere this week. We aren’t losing hope. Thank you sososo much Carly! OH AND! She also sent me this really cool purple ring that I will show you next time I’m holding a martini. Which I’m sure will be soon, like this weekend. Yay.
Ok now I’m totally ready to play Santa. Winner Time!
The Winner of the Ruffle Tunic from Dyanahar is Mara at M Loves M (TWINS! We can rock em around L.A together!)
and
I love you guys. This week I am really feeling the blog love, both online and when I check my “real” mail…it’s amazing and wonderful and here is just a little bit of what I’m talking about…
{I spy…some favorite bloggy friends under my tree. Fabulous. Thank you!}
How can I be a Grinch? You guys won’t let me!
More giveaways next week! Giveaway hooker in the house. I totes should have done “The 12 Days of Christmas” giveaways, that would have been cute…but I didn’t, so yeah good talk… 
Happy Weekend!

Congrats to the give-away winners. Liz, it's not yet too late to make a 12-day of Christmas give-away. There is still time. Hahaha!

What a beautiful ornament and totes you. I'm ready for 2010. How about you? And yayyyyy Mara. What a sweetie she is!
Gorgeous ornament… I love the thought (and fairtrade idea) behind it! I'm glad your last post was so optimistic… I've spent countless Christmasses as a single gal, but I've always associated Christmas with a family holiday and was just glad to spend it with my parents and everyone else (including my grandparents who I miss dearly… my grandmother passed away last year and she was the only grandparent I had left
I'd definitely focus on your Papa… he's more important than any guy out there. I know that the last time I saw any of my grandparents was Christmas unfortunately…
And no tears on my blog! I'm sending over a batch of virtual cookies
Wishing you a superb weekend!
Chirstmas seems like the perfect time to keep hope alive.
I love owls, for some odd reason I just adore them. Very adorable owl on the corner of that pretty ornate envelope!
Kisses dear.
SO CUTE! That ornament is totes cute and I'm totes jelly I don't have it!
