Jolly Old St. Valentine

Photobucket

Dear St. Valentine,

I have been very good this year (at least comparatively speaking). This delicious and well-coordinated doughy treat is a mere microcosm of the vast ocean that is my goodness. I now offer it to you of my own free will, in hopes that you will consider furnishing my life with the following current wants:
  1. A bunch of Copic Sketch markers - mostly in pastel colors, but you can throw some neons in there too ('tis the season!!)
  2. The immediate availability of every episode of Northern Exposure for instant play on Netflix
  3. Essie's complete Spring 2012 color line
  4. A Maryland May for an entire year
  5. Monthly child-free date nights with husbandman
  6. The ability to suspend the dread "pregnant brain" when I purpose to edit my blog's coding or to create new design elements in CS5

I appreciate your kind reciprocation.

Hopelessly devoted,

P.S. My friend Kezia deserves a couple gifts too for helping make your gift. And actually, Joy T. Baker inspired our giving spirit in the first place. So maybe... give her a boyfriend? She might already have one, though. It's kinda hard to tell sometimes...

  1. Darling, Naomi. You made these doughnuts yourself?! Kentucky is only a state away, you know ;)
    Hope you have had a lovely weekend, doll.

    2. That's what I thought too, Kezia ;). I was thinking, "I guess in these circles it is hard to tell if one has a boyfirend ;)" Well, if you don't...you're too cute Kezia and I'm sure you'll have one soon enough ;)!

      Fun pictures Naomi!

    1. Thank you so much! Oh, well. If she already has a boyfriend I guess St. Valentine can just give her some more pretty dishes or something. She'd probably like that!

  20. Ummm, those look so amazing Naomi! And if I could help you out with any of your wish list items, I certainly would! :-) If you want to ship your adorable kiddos to me, I could give you some adult free date nights! :-)

  23. Oh these look absolutely delicious, I love how colourful they are. Your list of current wants made me smile, especially suspending the 'pregnant brain' so you can edit your blog's html code or edit pictures. I'd love to suspend my own brain and be able to do that! xx
