Karen (Mikols) Bonar - What an ADORABLE way to hang up your stockings! Makes me want a fire place .... no that would be the foot of snow outside that's screaming for heat, not my Christmas decorating desires .... ;-)

Victoria Canada - Uh- I agree- Pottery Barn. Also they are giving my Christmas decorations low self esteem.

rachael earl - Ok, so those last detail shots look like they could slip right into my Pottery Barn catalog! Oh, and love the perm! : )

Tanya Mills - Melissa, so great to see you while you were in California! I hope you're resting up and getting more and more into the Christmas spirit.

Emily - YHDweddings - You need to get crackin' on those decorations lady! You only have 13 more days! :)

Julie - a couple familiar faces! good to see dave and becky. Kim, too. looks like a great time. Miss the simpleness of college. How did life get so complicated since then?! ;)

tami - SMOkin' hair....way to rock that permed look!

BrightGirls - Melissa- I have a friend who's hair was exactly like your permed "creation" but hers was natural!

Tira J - Hi Melissa. It was so great to have you out in CA last week. And it was extra special to have lunch with you, and get to know you better. Cheers!

Melli - Wonderful mission accomplishment - and it answers my facebook question (should have come here first). I sang in a choir too, but not in college but all through my school years, starting first grade up to tenth grade. And I loved it too. Once in a while I think of joining a choir again.

Liza - Wow...I am loving that shot of the stocking hanging...it's so clean and so wonderfully decorated. I would love to spend Christmas there! Glad to hear you had a great time! Your big perm hair looked pretty cool too. :)

Jennifer Disney - Oh gosh! What a blast from the past! I'm sad to see how they've shrunk. Glad you got to go see them though. Sounds like a fun weekend!
