Today is a special and exciting day (and no, it's not a Shafferland "versary") that I will tell you about early next week - complete with lots of pictures! But here in blogland today, let's have a little fun, shall we? I've been working lately on my gift wish lists, because Christmas is coming! It brings about the time the family always asks for gift ideas. (Yes. I'm 44. Yes, I still make wish lists. I figure it's better to know what you need and really desire than to just throw out random ideas!) It's fun to dream, isn't it?
One.
Now that we live in the land of friends-with-chickens, we buy our eggs from them, rather than from the store. We've been recycling old disposable egg containers, but there's something extra pretty about these storage containers that allow you to see the pretty eggs. Recycled store-bought egg containers don't allow for that! I also find it hilarious that refrigerators used to come with built-in egg storage, and I always found it annoying, and now I want to purchase said storage. ;)
Two.
One of our essential oil diffusers died, which made me very sad. It was not only functional, but pretty! While I do still have a functional one, I would like another pretty one. (Vain, party of one!) This one is not like the one that died, but I think it has some character, and I like it.
Three.
This guide to planning a Route 66 road trip is definitely on my wish list. I have been working so hard at planning our someday trip (and I have not forgotten this on my list of things to talk to you about soon) - and this would help me with some of the polishing details. I've looked at some previews of it, and it seems very thorough. You all know my adoration for all things thorough!
Four.
In my recent wardrobe dreaming, I realized I don't have many true pajama sets. I usually just wear random, ill-fitting shorts and an old t-shirt that shouldn't be worn outside the house anymore. I was convicted that I really should try to look cuter at home, since Ryan is the one who matters most! So I marked some jammie sets for my wish list, including this one! (The set with the pink and green duo.) They look so comfy!
Five.
It has taken me over a year to crawl slowly through the book of Genesis. I have loved it. I've been using workbooks from Precept Ministries, and there were actually five different workbooks that covered the book of Genesis. If everything goes as I think it will, I should finally finish the book right around the end of the year, which means I'll be ready to begin Exodus! They actually only have one workbook to cover all of Exodus. (No idea if that means I will spend a whole year in ONE book or if I'll move faster!) Anyway. The Exodus workbook from Precept is on my wish list!
Six.
And finally, I found this piece of wall art that has significance to us. (No, we are not having a baby.) God has been taking us on a journey, and this really speaks into the faith He has been growing in us. So I put it on the wish list.
So there you have it! Part of my Christmas wish list! :)

I have started to get holiday catalouges! You have some fun things on your list.
I have two oil diffusers...one for spring/summer, and one for fall/winter. I did not actually said out to have two at home, but I took one to work and then found out it bothered people when I used my oils. I should’ve known! Anyway, my spring and summer one is white with little black birds and branches as a silhouette, and then there are little leaf cutouts to let the light come through. My winter one looks like a cable knit sweater.
I fell in love with some coffee from Aldi this summer, but they don’t carry it anymore. It’s blueberry crumb cake. So I decided to look online and I found some and had it shipped to me this week. So maybe I will put that on my Christmas list! if anyone asks!
