I have heard a rumour that you are finding it extremely difficult to choose gifts for me this year.  (Apparently deciding if I were “naughty or nice” was a problem, too, but I’m assuming I made the “nice” list, or else you wouldn’t be choosing gifts, right? )

Anyway, I thought I would do my best to help you out (because I’m “nice”), so here is a list of things that would be delightful to see in my stocking or under my tree on Christmas morning.  (Intangibles like “world peace” go without saying.)  I’m posting it here so that you’ll have access to it anywhere you have Wi-Fi.

1. The Indigo Sisters – a 5″ x 7″ print by Saint John, NB artist Jessica Doyle.  I first saw Jessica’s work at a local framing studio and gallery, and it always makes me smile. Although the sisters’ names are Emma, Dorothy and Louise, I prefer to think of them as Karen, Krista, and Ferne.
2. Batteries for the GPS! A geocacher can never have too many!  It takes 2 AAs, in case you’re wondering, and I go through them like crazy.
3. Oil Coloured Pencils (by Walnut Hollow).  These come in a variety of packages at Michaels.  I’ve been dying to try them, but don’t have any of them, so you don’t have to worry about duplication.  Do yourself a favour, though, Santa, and use a coupon!
4. Art Canvasses from Dollarama. I love these things!  For the 8″ x 10″ size, I prefer the ones stapled onto the wooden frame, but I like the smaller flat ones, too!
5. Rughooking Linen from River Gallery. It might be hard to pick out wool for me, as you don’t know what I already have in my stash, and I’m trying to use up what I have before getting more.  (Like that’s gonna happen!)  But if you wanted to get me something I could use for my rughooking passion, linen suitable for either primitive or fine cuts would be great!
6. Sims 2 Stuff Packs. I know this will come as a shock, but I don’t actually have all the Sims 2 software.  Since they’ve come out with Sims 3 (to which I have no intention of upgrading), I’m afraid these stuff packs will soon be hard to get.  The ones I’m still looking for are The Sims 2: Teen Style Stuff, The Sims 2 H&M Fashion Stuff, The Sims 2 Happy Holiday Stuff, and The Sims 2: Celebration Stuff.
7. Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan. I started to read this book a year and a half ago, and read just enough to know that I wanted my very own copy!  (Incidentally, my entire Chapters/Indigo book wish list is available for viewing here, just in case you wanted to see it.)
8. A small calendar for my office, (the size that’s about 6″ x 6″ when closed) featuring wolves, or puppies, or kitties, or whales, or horses.
9. A horse. It’s been on my wish list since I was three, and it still hasn’t happened yet.  Get on that, Santa!
10. Gift cards. I know you sometimes don’t like giving them, because it doesn’t seem like much to open, but I LOVE receiving them!  Think of it as giving the gift of shopping!  My favourite spots are Michaels, Indigo and Starbucks, but WalMart would also be very much appreciated.

Anyway, Santa, I hope that helps!  Merry Christmas, and I’ll try to bake some (edible) cookies for you!

Love, KJ (a very good girl)
