here are some overdue winter visions. some of my favorites from a magically decorated home hosting a christmas party last week. like being inside a fairy tale.
just spent all day and most of last night working on my brother's christmas present. this year, i decided to make him a keepsake. i made him a little book of wishes, wisdoms, and lessons learned from a big sister. it did take me forever but i think it will be worth the effort when i see his face. is it wrong to hope for a tear? I do hope he treasures it forever. i picture it on his bedside table or something. i was sure to include many quotes, stories, and experiences that i have gathered over my 23 years in hopes that he will refer back to the book for a little bit of-well whatever-he needs. my dad, i just bought the new paul simon book. it's a collection of all his lyrics. i saw it advertised in the window of a barnes&nobles and knew he would have to have it. my mom, i blew her a glass heart pendant. i hope she'll wear it. i also made her a bouquet of paper flowers for her bedroom. yet again, a student without income must get creative. heck, even if i did have an income, i would probably still get creative.
*here's hoping my family likes the gifts as much as I like making/giving them.*
also, listen to my one true love, ray lamontagne. this song is completely enchanting on a snowy winter's eve.
[disregard the shameless grey's anatomy plug. it's the only non-live version there was]
