I spent the majority of last week doing all the prep for my daughter’s rainbow birthday party we just had this past Sunday! It was a big success, and they’ll be a post about, but getting everything clean, made, decorated, and all around ready for the party ate up pretty much all of my week. Therefore, blogging fell so far behind. So it’s time to play a little catch up!
This past 5 Fandom Friday topic (hosted by The Nerdy Girlie and SuperSpaceChick) is a great one – Presents I Want Santa To Bring Me! My list includes all the outrageously expensive gifts I didn’t put on my Christmas list for people as they just cost Way. Too. Much. Thus, perfect for Santa!
1. A (giant) set of Copic Markers. I’m going to contradict myself now, as I actually DID include a set of these on my Christmas list just for the heck of it, but not one this big. This is my #1 item to save money and purchase for myself next year as I am dying to use them (and have so many ideas for them!).
2. This portrait lens. You’ve seen it already on my Camera Wishlist post. Yup, still want it. 😀
3. Completely unnecessary but completely fantastic video game figurine/statue thingies. My geeky collectible shelves are dying to have some of these on them!
4. A laptop. We are planning on buying one next year (no idea what kind yet), but it’d be amazing if one just appeared under our tree.
5. A WiiU. I picked WiiU over PS4 for this as I have no plans to buy a WiiU. I’d like it, but it would a complete and total frivolous purchase. There are only a few games I actually want to play for it, and I hardly have time to play console games at it is. But I’d still love it!

Those markers look awesome! I’m sure you could make some amazing art with them!
Aw thanks! I’d sure try. 😀
Omg the title of this post is too funny. It’s just that “frick” that I keep giggling at.
Those markers look amazing, and I don’t know a whole lot about art supplies, but I’ve heard a lot about Copic markers, so I can imagine they’re pretty great. I hope you get some because I’m already in love with all your artwork, so I feel like my mind will be blown if you use those.
(P.S., It was just a huge struggle for me to leave this comment, but it was worth it.)
Well thank you Sonya, I’m glad you did! I am dying to try Copics but they are so damned expensive. The set posted is like $370 I do believe. Which seems insane for something I basically want to experiment with….but I will own them someday!
I need some new lens like it’s nobody’s business….mine are so old…REALLY need to upgrade!
After the video game awards and all the new nintendo announcements {STAR FOX!!!} I deff have my eye on the Wii as well! xx
I’d really love to have a set of those markers—art I’ve seen that’s made with them looks so cool!—but I am not a very good artist, so they’d totally go to waste. I hope you get a set, though, regardless of size!
Thanks Mandy!
I saw those markers on Jess’s blog (bookworms in dresses) and they look awesome! You are so talented and I bet could make some pretty amazing things with them. Hope you get them!! 🙂

I got my boyfriend a PS4 for Christmas, he’s been begging for one for AGES! I also love my copics, you have got to get a set! They are the most magical markers in the world!!
Rainbow birthday parties should always trump blogging! But yeah, I’ve been struggling to stay on track this time of year. We’ve also been toying with getting a WiiU, mostly for SuperSmash & Mario Kart.
YES. Those would be the two games I would have as well!!
