Wishlist: Christmas Edition

Guys, I hate to admit it, but I just wrote my Christmas list. Somehow, it went from something fun, to a chore that went on my giant "To-Do" list. I've been randomly jotting things down for a while now but haven't actually gotten around to making one... so I thought I would make one to share. Hopefully this helps those of you who are also having trouble making lists, or just buying for others in general!

1. I think these red headphones would look cute on just about anyone's head... just sayin'

2. A really cute pair of oxfords... preferably heels!

3. A toy camera indulgence

4. Is anyone else as in love with this shade of yellow as I am?

5. An iPod case for the camera-obsessed

6. Loving the zipper on this purse

7. You can't go wrong with a fun pair of sunnies!

Happy Holidays :)

The Story of Stephanie and Max

Say hello again to this gorgeous couple! They met in their first year of college, and have been crazy about each other ever since. You can tell. I've always been impressed by how lovingly Max treats Stephanie.

Although long distance is currently their biggest challenge, they are dedicated to making it work. Max calls Stephanie every night to catch up and say goodnight. 

I was so happy to have the opportunity to capture the love that these two share - and I don't like admitting it, but I'm totally jealous of their height compatibility *sigghh*

My life lately

1. Forgot my phone at East Side Mario's in Barrie, had to have it mailed to me

2. Took funny Christmas pictures with Austin

3. Got pictures printed

4. Made shortbread cookies (tasted like Christmas in my mouth)

5. Worked on my cute little scrapbook

6. My new tablet arrived in the mail

7. Had many cuddles on my bed with my panda bear

8. Decorated my mini-tree

9. Started a new job. This was my "first day of work" outfit - :)

10. Started wearing my hair like this all.the.time. So cute. Makes me wish I had more hair.

And that's my life lately! :) (besides working - I have worked 47 hours this week and I am e-x-h-a-u-s-t-e-d but so thankful for hours!)

Christmas Tree: Mix of old and new

I've always loved that Christmas trees generally become a good mixture of old and new ornaments. More often than not, your grade 3 macaroni stocking (which is totally boss, by the way) is hanging next to the glass angel you bought for your mom last year. It's just how it usually goes.

This year, I wanted to use my grandma's old light fixtures with some of my own new ornaments to create a fun quirky Christmas tree. Have a look!

Pretty New Tablet

My new Bamboo Capture Tablet came in the mail today and I was basically beyond excited. My last tablet was from 1998... kinda old! I will admit, I've been doing nothing else besides playing around in Photoshop all evening. Even now, I'm supposed to be grabbing my webcam so that Austin and I can do a Dexter-Skype-Date. But am I doing it? Nope. I just want to play with my pretty new tablet. *Sighhh* :)

MAX + STEPH: SNEAK PEEK

You know what I  l o v e? Checking things off of my to-do list. And, miracle of all miracles, I checked off every single item from that list today. This included burning all of Max and Stephanie's pictures to disc and delivering them. I know there are quite a few of you who have been waiting sooo patiently, so here is a little sneak peek! I can't share them all just yet, because they want to look at the rest of them when they're together (can I get an "awww"?)

Expect more pictures soon + a little background story of this oh-so-amazing, distance-defying couple. And without further ado, enjoy :)

And I couldn't not include this one. It's one of my favs. I told Max to relax for a bit because I was taking Steph's "sexy pictures". This was his response:

Hope you enjoyed my little preview of what's to come! I can't wait to share.
