let the holiday shopping begin!

As always I’m finding myself in the first week of December thinking “crap!” because I haven’t hardly even thought about this whole Christmas thing. Part of me is even a bit of a Scrooge because every year it honestly feels like more than I can deal with on top of all the other work & life responsibilities I’m trying to tackle. But then I find the perfect gift for a friend, and we plan to have a fun dinner together to celebrate, and all the overflowing holiday love and joy comes flooding back.

I will tell you though, I refuse to step foot downtown this year and am going to try to do most of my shopping online. Well, online and at various craft fairs around the city. Support your local creatives! And here’s hoping we all don’t go too crazy over the next 30 days. :)

Lastnight all of us girls got dolled up for a night out on the town! Our friend Aubrey works at Google and set us all up to get in to their huge holiday party. (Thanks Aubs!) So we all started at Daisy’s for pre-drinks & apps (Thanks Daisy!) and then headed down to Pier 48 in a limo-van! w00t!

Many, many glasses of wine later (that I somehow managed to not spill a drop of on my white silk shirt, thank goodness), some dancing & lots of laughs we found ourselves back in the mission for a couple more drinks. *sigh* I have the best time with my girls! :)

Chris, Ali, Aubrey, Jess & I went to the Lemonheads show at the Independent on Saturday night. Jem & I had gone to see Evan Dando solo a few years ago at Bottom of the Hill (photos from that show), and I think that may have been a bit better for me, but this show was still fun. Honestly, I love the song “Drug Buddy” so much he could just have played that 5 times and I’d have been satisfied. ha!

Not to give away the surprise for those of you who may receive a holiday card from me this year, but this is it! :)

Friday I had a little craft day at my place and finalized this drawing I did a month or so ago, and spent the evening screenprinting it onto cards with my sweet lil’ Print Gocco! So fun… I want to do this stuff every day!
