Isn't it romantic

 December 24, 2009

Can you believe I'm posting on the day the pictures were taken?!  I'm actually supposed to be finishing my boyfriends Christmas presents, but I wanted to do a quick post!

I got this skirt at Goodwill last week! I'm in love with it.  It has a strip of velvet on the bottom, it's a shame you can't really tell in the pictures.  The only problem is that it is too big and falls to the bottom of my hips.. not a good look.  So I did what I always do when clothes I'm in love with are too big.. belt it up!

This morning we went off to take pictures, Starbucks for a hot cup of tea, and finally to Keagans for a good old Irish lunch feast!  Later on Patrick is picking me up to go to his house for a family dinner and then we are going to my stepmom's family's house.

 I'm so excited for tomorrow! I'm just so excited to give Patrick his gift.  We decided on homemade gifts this year... and I've gotta say, I'm surprising myself with this one but it isn't finished yet so we will see!

I also got Tieka's package from her giveaway in the mail yesterday and I opened EVERYTHING before I took pictures because I was just way too excited.. oops.. but I will be including pictures in my next post. Since she already posted pictures of the basket all pretty and together, I'm going to include pictures of how I'm using everything in my next post! Thanks again, Tieka! I LOVE everything!

I hope that everyone is safe and spending time with loved ones!  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!  I will be taking photos of my outfit tomorrow (because I NEVER plan outfits but I've had this one in my head for a while) but might not get around to posting it until Sunday or Monday.
