Drumroll please....

Dun duh dun dun duh duh dunnnnnnnn! 

Ta-da!

Viola!

As promised, here's a look at the finished product of my Christmas craft of 2010. And just in time for the big day (got a little delayed with production due to all of the holiday festivities. priorities, ya know?)

I absolutely loved, loved, LOVED making this beauty and can't wait to make more next year!

As I was swimming in a sea of pink and green, I couldn't help but think how absolutely fabulous the whole house would look with everything trimmed in kelly green and hot pink! 

Can't imagine it?

No worries.

See below.

bonus: these aren't Christmas decorations, but HELLO! I've found a new office space.

Promises, Promises: Lessons from the Cage

Just a few Christmas tips from the ladies of my new fave Broadway musical, Promises, Promises.

There's just so much to love in this video. All the tips are simply common Christmas courtesy, of course, but we can all use a little friendly reminder, circa 1960.

For Someone Special

Well, what I've been waiting for has finally arrived and I can't get enough of it.

The Tiffany & Co. Holiday Ad Campaign has made it's debut and it is to DIE for! It's the perfect portrayal of the magic of New York during Christmastime; I don't know how Tiffany's does it every year, but they're getting better with age, that's for sure. (I wonder if they reward their marketing/advertising team with little blue boxes instead of greenbacks--I'll leave a comment card suggesting that the next time I'm there.)

oh I mean, c'mon!! Absolute PERFECTION.
