My arms hurt from shoveling. I took this picture the night of the snowstorm (2 nights ago).

let's make up for the lag...

but this is still my favorite performance of theirs...

Check out these cool shirts from Seen Studio, my favorite is the abstract blobs design. They'd make a neat gift. See more designs and purchase them here.

If you're looking for ideas for gifts, do check out Gifted Magazine's holiday gift guide. Above are a couple of my favorites, pebble erasers and animal calendars. And yes, my Maia playing cards are mentioned in the guide (see my post from 9/13).

There's a neat store on Etsy, Pretty Tape, that specializes in Japanese decorative tape Who needs fancy wrapping paper? These are beautiful.

My friend Lindsay added a wallpaper gallery to her beautiful site Herd in Iceland. Download one of their photographs and refresh the look of your desktop here. I went with the close-up of the horse (image above).
