Christmas 2008


Happy Christmas to you!

As you can see, Bruce & I had a very nice--and rewarding!--Christmas. He gave me a very beautiful pendant: a blue topaz heart-shaped stone that's a "flower" with silver (or white gold) stem and leaf. It was designed and built by the local jeweler who designed my engagement ring. Really beautiful, delicate and feminine. I love it. I gave Bruce a shiatsu massage chair pad and he loves it. I'm glad.

Below is my attempt at a Martha Stewart table design. It's not too fancy this year; I just decided to use the bows from gifts to dress the table. It was fun to try, anyway.


And here is yours truly with Bruce, our Christmas portrait. I'm wearing my lovely Coldwater Creek winter sweater. It's too subtle to show up here but there are three white Christmas trees on the sweater, pearled and lightly sequined. Very nice and I feel lovely in it.


The ice cube snowman lights up blue and the light fades in and out. A little weird but I love it, and obviously so does Bruce because he got the batteries into it well before I got to it!

Ho Ho Ho!

Carla, you look so pretty! Your necklace sounds exquisite. Ryan bought me a blue topaz birthstone ring for Christmas. We are soul sisters (as well as aunt and niece, and godmother and goddaughter).
