could someone make december 11 get here a little quicker???

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease???? that's when my studio calico should arrive (or somewhere thereabouts...) let me just tell you, this month is di-vine! i probably won't get a chance to use it much before christmas, but i would like to smell the papers & oooh and aahhh over it all a few times! sigh... plus, i ordered the project kit. i have christmas decor plans to go with mr. artist printers tray. yes, i do... he's going to get dolled up and be displayed with this guy right here:
(*if you like this little guy, you can find them here*)

mine hasn't arrived yet. but, isn't he too cute for words??? he'll go so nicely with the candles i just put on the mantle:

these are from pottery barn, but i found mine at tar-jay. (*who doesn't love target?!) they were $10-16 each there... doesn't it look like mr. hooty was just made to go with those candles? they were meant to be!

well, the hubs and "big bang theory" are calling (as well as my air popped popcorn that has then been covered in a vat o' butter!)

i'll leave you with the goodness that is studio calico's december kit and add-ons. (yes... i bought all 3! ack!)

Orchestra (*main kit)

studio calico's pattern paper

percussion

strings

last, but not least... the project kit woodwinds
