gifting

one of my favorite gifts i received this year is this watercolor portrait by ashmae.
it's created from the image featured on our christmas card here.

i've seen ashmae's work on other blogs and at bijou market. i'm a big fan.
she has an etsy shop you can check out if you're interested.

my favorite gift i gave this year was the pair of white shiny snow skis i surprised the mr. with.
he's been talking about new skis for a while,
but i convinced him they were too spendy.

i got lucky to find a friend who helped me get them half off.
