Friday Favorites: Birthday Wishlist Edition

My birthday is just one month away now! Some people may think that I’m getting too old to still be making birthday lists and getting excited about the upcoming celebration, but I say poo poo to them. I still like celebrating my birthday, I definitely still like getting presents. Although I don’t expect anything anywhere near what I put on my wishlists, they’re still fun to make. :)

This first group is a true wish list, as in wishing is as close as I’ll come to having anything of these items – at least right now.

1. I currently don’t use a smart phone of any kind, and I really, really, really want to upgrade to one. After much deliberation I’ve decided that I’d like to have an iPhone.
2. I’m starting to get really serious about starting my own design business, and I think a bamboo tablet would be extremely helpful in that endeavor.
3. As with the bamboo tablet, PhotoShop would also be extremely helpful in my design work.
4. I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned on more than one occasion how much I need really want and would greatly benefit from having a decent DSLR camera – nothing fancy, just an entry level model would be nice…
5. I’ve been dreaming of having my own treadmill for quite some time now – cause you know, running outside is lame…

This next set is a bit more reasonable.

1. It’s Harry Potter and Legos – need I say more?
2. I would love to have any new nail polishes really, but every time I go to Sally’s I find myself drooling more and more over the For Audrey color from China Glaze.
3. Any of the items off my never ending ModCloth wishlist would make me smile like a fool – or maybe just a gift card.
4. I want to start actually wearing jewelry, but I don’t really know where to start sooo I’m hoping someone else will get the ball rolling for me. Maybe starting with some of the awesome steampunk inspired pieces from Lucky Vicky? [my favorites can be found here]
5. My Think Geek wishlist is full of geeky t-shirts and knickknacks I would be extremely thankful to own.
6. Fabric, fabric, fabric! I’ve been dreaming up a navy, sailboat covered a-line skirt for sometime now – I just need the right fabric.
7. I would be ecstatic to receive these shoes or any item from my Ruche wishlist [which includes some other pieces of jewelry I’ve been looking at lately]
8. This is probably really silly, but I love this movie and would love to have my own copy to watch on those long, lonely nights when Andrew’s working late.

I’ll be so grateful for any gifts I might get on birthday, and while it’s been fun thinking up all the little things I’d like to have, all I really want is to see my friends and family and have a slice of Red Velvet cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory.
