Tuesday's List: Christmas Wish List

Oh, Christmas is just around the corner and I am already starting to prepare! Jessica, over at Love From Texas, has started back up with Tuesday's List...and more than likely, she probably knows just how excited I am about it. This topic actually came at a good time because I am trying to figure out things I would like for myself this year, what to get the husband, and what the family is getting. I am having a tough time this year because I truly want to do something different, but I don't know what...So, I'll probably be looking at other compulsive list makers to see what they have come up with for their wish list!

{1} The Silhouette
Now, this is more for dreaming really, but I could do so many things with this machine. I would end up with some cute gifts for friends and family! KevinandAmanda.com just finished giving this bad boy away, and even though I didn't get it, I still had fun drooling over it!

I mean, look at all the fun/cool things you can do with this machine...
scrapbooking, card making, banners...

you can add vinyl to just about anything...totally got the inner OCD in me rolling.

you can even add stuff on glass...that is just absolutely amazing!!


{2} "Red" Kitchen Aid Mixer
I know I already have a hand held mixer and I love it, but I always drool anytime I see this beautiful machine. I think everyone secretly wants one of these in their house. If I ever ended up with one, I probably would always leave it out so other's can just stare at it in envy...haha


{3} Brother Embroidery Sewing Machine
I absolutely want this under the tree this year. I have always thought about getting one, and now that I see all my crafty friends creating cute items, I just can't take it anymore. I don't care what anyone says...this one is in the basket!
Oh, but if I get it, that means a little craft desk is in order!
{4} Gift card to Home Depot/Lowe's
Now, on to more practical things...I would really appreciate a giftcard to Home Depot or Lowe's this year. Since Gregg and I plan on leaving the military to begin our civilian life, I believe we will need this most definitely. It would most likely go to paint if I have a say in the matter, but it could also go towards a new refridgerator, new washer/dryer, or any home improvements that might be needed. I think this would come in handy, and something my husband would be okay with recieving as well!

{5} Willow Tree Nativity Set
I would also like this to enter the house this Christmas. The host of Tuesday's List got one last Christmas and I have been jealous ever since. I am a lover of the Willow Tree collectables and would appreciate this item very much!

{6} Anything from Kirkland's, Garden Ridge, or Hobby Lobby
Like I said before, Gregg and I will finally have a place to call our's, and I want to be able to make it comfortable and inviting. We don't have too much home decor, so I am in need of it desperately. Some items could include: pillows, candle holders, fillers, rugs, side tables, shelves, etc.

Now on to Gregg's List...
If I was to ask him right now, he would probably state this exactly, "I don't know, you pick."
Oh jeez that man!
Well, he would be more than happy with a giftcard to Home Depot, Lowe's, AutoSkills, or Best Buy. He could always use new tools, items for his car, power tools...things like that!

Now, these are ideas that popped into my head today for this post. I will probably add more in the future, but I will let you know when that happens!

The silhouette is awesome! My mom bought one for her and I to share but I've had the chance to play with it first and it rocks. Mckmama is having a giveaway going on right now as well if you want another chance to win one. I love Willow Tree as well!

I totally agree with all your choices!!! You are your mother's child. Believe it or not I was very crafty when I was younger, but budget and time changed all that when children came along.

I already decided on the gift cards before you posted it...knew you would need them when you return.

Love, Mom
