Santa was sooo good to me!
What a special Christmas! Our family had a blast! We also saw The Polar Express movie in a IMAX 3D Theatre! It was such magical movie!
Our Christmas tree after Santa stopped by...
I decorated the tree with some of this Bubble Christmas lights!
Here are some the gift Santa left me under my Christmas tree....
Here is a pix of my new sheets and my fav corner in my house!
I'm on vacation this week (whohoo!) so one of the things I'm working on is my Mondo Beyondo list (idea from Andrea) and getting ready for the new year with brand new designs and illos for my little cards, prints and rubberstamps!
This week Oprah had a show about all the wonderful things The Angel Network is doing in Africa and I was so touched and moved by the power of love and generosity! 
I also loved the words of Desmond Tutu in his new book "God Has a Dream: A Vision of Hope for Our Time" "We are all One, and for humanity to "see through the eyes of the heart" is my dream, your dream, and God's dream for us all. Take this Divine gift of wisdom into your heart, and BE a living example of living with compassion, understanding, generosity of spirit, strength and integrity in the face of adversity that this breathtaking book paves with golden insight." - Desmond Tutu
Also, I got myself a brand new sketchbook from Barnes & Noble so I can start the new year with lots of white pages to fill with doodles and colors!
And while surfing the net I found this cool link: http://www.heartsart.com/info/inhome.asp
What a neato bunch of eye candy! I love all these things, especially the shabby chic corner! Glad your Christmas was so awesome!

Sounds like you have indeed had a very wonderful Christmas week. I love those bubble lights...grew up watching them on my family's tree. There's something magical about combining lights, and water, and bubbles on a Christmas tree.

I agree with Hope, you must have been a really good girl because your pressies are lovely. I also adore that little nook in your bedroom. I'd love to see more pictures of that. Have a wonderful vacation :o)

Hi Sweetie! I got the most awesome print and cards in the mail today and can't thank you enough! I love the print and it has a new home in a frame . . . I will leave it up through the first week of January! So of course I am not disappointed in any way -- thank you for your efforts to get it here!
Are you going to share your Mondo Beyondo 2005 List with us? I think it's JUST the thing I need to do also.
