thinking of Elizabeth Taylor

i was browsing the internet and saw this -
the etsy owner rightly declares "channeling Elizabeth Taylor"

i think she was - is - one of the most beautiful women who ever lived.  Gorgeous, gorgeous woman.
i can see her in this gown

and if you were wearing this gown, you can assume a languid pose .... and be Liz Taylor
and have your photo taken.  call it ..........."my Christmas day"

*sigh*
i know. i have a great imagination.

Last working day before the Christmas month

just want to wish everyone a good 3-day weekend.

it will be the first Sunday of Advent this Sunday, so if you are hip into Christmas, there are 4 candles in the wreath, one for each Sunday of Advent, 3 of them are violet,1 pink (for Gaudete, or Joy, the 3rd Sunday), and a white candle that is lit on Christmas day, the white candle is also called the Christ candle.

i dont have any Christmas decor, except for one Parol, but i hope to catch up this weekend.
i use foil to "light" the candle on the wreath.

happy 3-day weekend, and decorating too!

27 Days to Christmas

I was walking and saw this sign

27 Days to Christmas

and well, i paused and thought about Christmassy things

well - i posted on my journal to ask my e-friends if they wanted cards

this year, i am rather busy, but will attempt to make my own cards and to "force" myself

i bought some digital images, some of it art - to frame and hang, some of it elephants...

i do have most of my Christmas gifts ready. I shop the entire year so i wont have to rush by Christmas, but i still have to wrap them (if i run out of time, i will put them in gift bags)..

I do NOT have any Christmas decorations yet!!

I shall do it this coming weekend, whether or not the painting of the rooms (just mine, really and the bathrooms) are done.  i do have to have the curtains done!  ah well, we will see. will report to you.

i have planned my Christmas dinner, my birthday (which falls right smack between Christmas and New Year), and New Year. i have partly shopped for it.  i dont know if i can still have Excelente Ham.  I cant go to Quiapo, you see........

maybe i should start putting them in Christmas bags......

Gifts for Christmas - another Etsy shop

i got an elephant from her.  then i saw this Hobbes creation.
i know someone who just adores Waterson's "Calvin and Hobbes" but we no longer talk.

still, if you have an SO who likes Hobbes or some other cute creatures.
women have a weakness for such stuff.  strong, dominant women, even.

A whimsy post - an Etsy shop of Uncommon Creatures

i get mail from etsy shops.  this was one of the shops i got in my email today.

i collect elephants and i found the elephant in this shop gorgeous.  she has won awards.

i can hardly wait for my own.

do peruse her shop.  she has some of of the most amazing creatures.

so if you know someone who has all the money in this world (like Bill Gates, or Warren Buffet, or the Sultan of ......, or maybe the Marcoses for local flavor) and you cant think of a present, you may want to take a gander at this shop.  remember, you can have yours customized.  Or pick one that is existing and make little changes to make it your own.  a wonderful shop.
