winter wonder...

Ah,winter...One of my favorite times of the year.

       I love being in a cozy house as it snows outside wrapping some presents up for friends & family.

I even got an yearly Christmas present from my dear friend Desiree today...

(not to mention one last week from another friend [I went to see her in a play,oh,so cool.])

Desiree's gift came on todays chilly afternoon.

(which just as a little note for you Desi,I sent yours today actually.)

Her gift happen to contain 'Mint Melody Herb tea' and a mug.

Perfect timing Desi. ;)

Cause I was just thinking about having some tea.

                        Oh,and the candy cane, my little brother was very excited about that since,
                                             I plan to share it with him over a movie tonight. =)

            I loved sipping the tea,reflecting, and watching the snowflakes fall from the sky oh,so delicately.
                                                              
                                                                        Pure bliss........

                                                                      

Oh,and the cute hair accessory she made me. (check out her etsy shop,for other nifty things she makes.)

Cute right?!

                                          And the christmas tree ornament I got from her.
  My little brother wanted to know if it was a real cookie,poor lil' guy was bummed that it wasn't.

Since I was the clicky mood,I took this photo besides the gift photoshoot I did (above)....

                                  I couldn't resist taking a photo of my sisters dog while it was sleeping.

I want to treasure it,so when she wakes up and starts being her spoiled, yappy-self,

 I can reflect and remember how sweet she was when she slept. ;)

lol...aka....lots of laughter....

But seriously, I love how this photo turned out.

I had a good day today.

........wait.........

                                                  (I got my serious/model face on for one click)

......Okay,now I had a fantastic day! :)

How about you?

Is winter one of your favorite seasons?

Has anyone else gotton any yearly Christmas presents ?

Oh and as a side note for those of you who use picnik as your photo editing tool,I just realized they now have their 'winterized' effect on. HORRAY ,yeah that also contributed to my day. :)
