i'm unworthy!

it's been a banner mail week here. first came this pendant from kristen...

i really love it. she also sent me a great old book i'll be chopping up soon.

then, today, i received these from erin...

along with a matching hat! and one of her sweet bird ornaments. she really amazes me. and i'm wearing the fingerless gloves right now as i type because it is pretty freakin' cold today.

i've jumped on the baker's twine bandwagon in a big way this year. my goal is not to buy any new wrapping paper since i've got tons of old stuff - so i'm using twine to make it all pretty...

i made a christmas mix to give out to people who i think might like a christmas mix. here's the playlist, in case you might like to make one and are looking for some i-tunes inspiration (and you don't think my taste in music sucks)...

season's greetings/robbers on high street
i saw three ships/sufjan stevens
holly jolly christmas/the format
have yourself a merry little christmas/judy garland
christmas time is here (vocal version)/vince guaraldi trio
white christmas/bing crosby
silent night/joan osborne
baby, it's cold outside/gabe dixon & leigh nash
i'll be home for christmas/aimee mann
all that i want/the weepies
winter wonderland/perry como
happy xmas (war is over)/maroon 5*
god rest ye merry gentleman/we three kings/barenaked ladies
2000 miles/the pretenders
christmas day/dido
the christmas song/johnny mathis
hey guys! it's christmas time!/sufjan stevens

*i know what you're thinking on this one but i can't track down my cd and itunes wouldn't let me purchase the john lennon version w/out buying the whole album and this version is actually quite nice. you don't have to believe me, but it is.

happy monday!

yes, you are worthy.

this is so perfect - making cd's is on my list for the week! holiday cd's, and i was thinking of taking a chance and making a playlist for "slow sunday mornings too. sharing music is always a great gift... sarah mclachlan's happy christmas/war is over version is quite good too.

great mix! i think you've inspired me. i haven't made a christmas mix in a coons age but maybe this is the year to make one that represents them all. yeah! i first heard the 2000 miles on an old episode of beverly hills 90210-yikes.
