I have this in green and I adore it!

My parents bought the Artisan for me in navy blue during college. They refused to let me bring it with me to Phoenix, but it just sits on their counter and collects dust! For a housewarming present, they got me the Pro 5...I miss my Artisan though!!

Ok, my Christmas is done now. I got an external hard drive so I can back up pics, music, docs, etc. I got an Ihome type dealio (an off brand, but it works great!), Seasons 3 & 4 of Grey's Anatomy, a book titled "Monroeville: The Search for Harper Lee's Maycomb" , a Monroe County Heritage Museums refrigerator magnet, and a Monroeville, AL, Home of To Kill a Mockingbird travel mug (from my brother..guess where he's living these days?)

I was so torn between the pink and the sage. My kitchen has a botanical splash guard & prints in light pink & sage - but I thought that getting more pink would be easier than getting more sage. Hope I'm right!

Ok, so I didn't find this thread until today,

I got:

Canon PowerShot 10 mp camera
Book: Historic Headlines of the New York Times, 1851- 2008 (This book is awesome!)
An alarm clock, radio, iPod charger combo
Elizabeth Arden perfume
Gift cards to Starbucks, iTunes, and Target
Wii Batman Lego game
Some scratch off lotto tickets
Mini Fondue set!

I am late to the party also. My mom bought me the mixer I had on my registry for the wedding for Christmas.

Some other gifts:
-a new laptop from the husband
-set of towels and rug for the bathroom
-a new Cowboys jersey (Romo)
-set of Bridal ornaments (German tradition)
-new Crocs (yes they are ugly but they are oh so comfortable!)

A whole bunch of books (including three on the Supreme Court), some money, and some new shirts, with the big present being a nice new watch from my in-laws.

Also, used some of the Christmas money to buy a new suit yesterday, as I needed one.

From my brother:
Three fashion belts from Forever 21
A Format T-shirt

From my parents:
A scarf
three sweaters for chapter/work wear (not black. finally)
A book of Nobel Lit laureate lectures
A book on travel in Europe (Lonely Planet I think)
A necklace from italy
WALL-E 3-disc DVD
A figure drawing poseable mannequin.

I think it will be great! Post pics!!! :)

I looked up the color of my Artisan, it is called Green Apple. They used to have cute quilted covers in matching colors for the mixers on Amazon.

Mine is cobalt blue - and the cover is nice.

Mine is Metallic Crome. I wanted one in copper, but it would have been about $300 more.

Just found this thread....

From the rents- a new Northface, Uggs, Tomtom, season 4 of House and Greys, a 16 setting Oneida flatware set that I bought on black Friday and they paid me back for
