Wishlist 2009

Recently, Karen and Jo have posted their 100 tangible, intangible, and heartfelt wishes for 2009 (that lasts till next Christmas), and I thought it'd be neat to create my own (in no particular order). As Karen words it, "Of course, some are practical, some are materialistic (I'm human), and some are more like far off dreams that I will probably always wish for."

Thanks for thinking of me! =)

You should open a shop on etsy to sell those adorable little felt cupcakes/candies! I'll be your first customer! I think they'd look perfect in the kitchen, framed. <3
