...totally stole my wallpaper :) A friend told me that she saw my black & white damask wallpaper on an Ethan Allen commercial, and I finally saw the commercial tonight. If you go to the main page of the website you can see the wallpaper in the background - http://www.ethanallen.com/homeOr, if you go to this link - http://www.ethanallen.com/design - and click on "see our new modern living ad" (on the left-hand side), then click the picture on the girl sitting in the tiger-print chair, you can watch the whole commercial.
Who would have thought I'd be a few months ahead of Ethan Allen! Guess my design instincts aren't too shabby :) (see Dad...I knew what I was talking about - the wallpaper is totally in style!)

New Years morning we had 4 visitors in our yard... 4 raccoons were scampering along the fence on the side of my yard and on top of the shed in my next door neighbor's yard. In the 19 years I've lived in Temecula I've never seen a raccoon (that I can remember), so seeing 4 all at once was fun!

I thought I'd share a few of my favorite Christmas presents this year. I did notice how excited I got over "home" gifts this year (although I still LOVE my boots, Mom & Dad). Here's a few of the "grown up" gifts I got...Beautiful blue goblets from Jen (my roomie & one of my best friends) - Hard to tell the color in the picture, but they are a gorgeous blue (and apparently I didn't wash them very well).
My first tool kit - from my parents. Now I can give my dad back all his tools that I've had at my house for the last 6 months! I'm excited to finally have my own!
The smallest, cutest, cordless drill I've ever seen (I know tools aren't supposed to be "cute," but this one totally is)! Technically, this wasn't a Christmas gift (my dad gave it to me this week), but was still a recent gift.
Hand-painted ornaments from my boss (thanks, Candace!) - they are the 12 days of Christmas...so each one has a number on it, the line from the song, and a picture of it. This picture doesn't do the colors justice - they are so vibrant and I can't wait to use them next Christmas!
"The first day of Christmas" one...
"Partridge in a pear tree..."
A cookbook from my best friend in Texas (thanks Bek!).
She even wrote out some recipes for me to get the cookbook started. I'm looking forward to trying some of these recipes, and also others that I can add to the book.
