1. Set of 6 Wiinblad cups ( small mugs). ( Ebay)... Well X that off your idea list because I already won them and they have been delivered (today) and are sitting on my; table, mantle and book case as I type. Sweet cups, so small they could almost be egg cups, but aren't.
Yes! It is Christmas, a time to give, and well, how can I forget about me? ~smiling~
These are sweet cups, and I invite you over to have dark chocolate with whipping cream with me and Kitty, well Kitty has his own whip cream bowl. Yum Yum, we'll just sip our dark chocolate and get those tasty cream moustaches, and laugh at each other like we're kids or something....somebody here must be!
I make no apologies. If I had not bid on these cups, I promise no one would have done it for me! ...But they are, to sher!
2. I would also like the Salton Yogurt maker ( cheap) mentioned blog before this one. I admit any of the Salton products I mentioned except the recharagable wine chiller, and the retro toaster, and the mixer, and the smores maker would be great gifts for me. If you need my address, just email me, and I will provide it so you can send my presents.
3. I would love to try that pizza oven I admit, just to test it, of course!
4. I need a combination expresso and coffee maker, and Italian one would be great. One with an instant milk steamer function. I love my latte's!
5. I didn't get a diamond last year, so I add that to this years list. Make it Canadian with the polar bear. At least over a Karat!
(will do nicely)
6. A Dorie, Holga, and a Diana toy camera for artistic expression, ( tiring of digital world). intros and more here. 24.95
Excerpt: (quote)
Somewhere in China is a factory that turns out one of the most laughably awful excuses for a camera I've ever seen. In fact, to call this thing a camera at all is to exaggerate. Replica of a camera might be better. Parody of a camera better still.
"This thing is a molded plastic box with a fixed shutter (well actually a coiled spring attached to a piece of metal that blinks), a lens (sort of) and a hole to sight through. That's it. No prism, no auto-focus, no motor drive. No glass, actually. The lens is plastic.
The Holga camera is the current incarnation of a line of cheap toys that began years ago with a similarly made camera called the Diana. It costs about $15 and though it looks like a cheap 35mm camera, it takes medium-format (120mm) film.
What is amazing about this camera is that it takes pictures at all. What is even more amazing is that, given the right conditions, it can produce pictures that are simply wonderful.
A few years ago, Tom Kochel, a commercial and fine-art shooter, displayed at one of Washington's finest photography galleries a set of prints he had made on his old Diana camera. It was not an April Fool's gag, either. Kochel's work, at the Jones Troyer Fitzpatrick Gallery, was gorgeous. And just recently, Craig Sterling, a fine-art photographer whose black-and-white prints go for big bucks, had me over to take a look at his most recent work, made not with the Hasselblad he usually totes, but with the Holga he carried around during his honeymoon in Italy. More gorgeous work." FRANK VAN RIPER

7. PJ's that make me look great! Scales that lie! A friend to skate with daily.
Hmm, now what do I need? To be honest, I need nothing. Once you are over 50, all you need are anti wrinkle creams, gift certificates for botox injections, or prescriptions drug gift cards (for hormones). Diets that work, and computers with easy programs like iphoto to touch up photos. ( Cheaper and less painful than a face lift)
All this means, that over 50, one realizes that all we really need is our youth and health. Yet the search for enlightenment continues.....saving grace.
It is Christmas, time for celebration of truth ( for which we all seek, whether we know it or not) Christ ( Truth) Mass
(Celebration). we all celebrate truth if we see it. Freedom. This time of year reminds me that Christ 's message was of forgiveness (to me anyway). Forgive everyone, forgive your self, It is the way to rise to another level of consciousness. It is non dual, and is peace.
I forgive everyone for everything, now, and I forgive me. I now know there is no one to forgive, and no one forgiving, in reality, for if we are ONE, who forgives, and who must be forgiven? Christ's message is this to me, after years of trying to understand what was imparted to me. I am grateful for this message and for peace!
I am thankful for my new companion, my incredible Cat! My family, kids, Mike, friends, acquaintences, teachers, all. Life is perfect!
Bless you ALL, ALL... this season for whatever it means to you! Nite now!
