Happy holidays! :]

[on-peak-hill.livejournal.com]

Hi, my name is Susana and I am an 18 year-old freshman at the University of Redlands in Redlands, CA majoring in Music Education. I love the idea of this community; it is heartwarming. I hope that some of my wishes will be granted as I grant some of yours.

1. Apple gift cards – I am trying to record and start my career as a musician and I want to utilize Garage Band as best as I can. There is this USB recorder that I want to clarify my recordings and any small amount can contribute to this.
2. Disney’s Cars on DVD – It’s one of my favorite Pixar movies and it def. cheers me up while I am away at college!
3. Gift cards to Barnes and Noble or Borders – The new college semester is coming up and I need to buy new books.
4. Cute sticky notes – I like to make lists. Lots of them. I also like the stick them around my laptop and drive my roommates insane.
5. Good jazz music with insane bass players - I play bass. I like to learn from those who are more experienced.
6. Gift cards to Target – I’m saving up to buy a new digital camera.
7. Disney’s Beauty and the Beast on DVD – It has my favorite Disney princess: Belle! :D
8. A recommendation to a shoe store that has big shoe sizes – I have big feet; size 11. I never find shoes. Tragic.
9. Disney’s The Emperor’s New Groove – Hilarious. Another of my favorites.
10. Happy holiday wishes – A card, a note, anything! I love seeing how others express themselves.

Thank you for reading this. Any of these wishes granted, big or small, will be greatly appreciated.

Obviously, I'm new :) I found this through my wonderful friend, cookiethief and after browsing through the comm, I decided that I needed to join because it is just too amazing!

my wishlist:
01. cards or letters. I think receiving snail mail, other than bills, is the most wonderful thing!

02. candles. I prefer ones that are scented (sweeter scents like vanilla, apple cinnamon, chocolate, and so on). Tealights, votives, pillar - it doesn't matter!

03. mini Buddha figurines (not too big, since I wouldn't want postage to cost too much). My mom started buying these for me a few years ago and I have fallen in love with their cute, round little bellies and chubby faces full of bliss.

04. dog toys. I have two wonderful dogs (Silas & Lilly) whom I adore and I love buying them toys (especially since Silas doesn't play with them once he's ripped their faces off), but where I live it is nearly impossible to find them anything that is less than $20 (from the vet).

05. Any book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, except Love in the Time of Cholera (since I own that one). It doesn't matter what condition it's in, as long as I can still read it :)

06. Bobby pins/hair pins. I wear my hair up every day and go through these things like CRAZY.

That's all I can think of!

Just comment with your email and I will send you my address :)

I will be very honest with all of you.  
I found out this community last year and I had the pleasure of granting some people's wishes!  I just loved it but unfortunatly, this might not happen again this year because I went from a full-time worker to a struggling student...  I'll only be able to grant wishes that won't cost money... 
However, I decided to post my wishlist anyways, just for fun!  Who knows, somebody's trash might be a treasure for someone else! =)
So here it goes :

1) School-related stuff : pens, erasers, notebooks..

2) New strings for my classical guitar 

3) Postcards from all over the world 

4) Coins from all over the world 

5) Anything on the Beatles you don't want anymore! 

6) Any DVDs (new, used or burnt) because I love watching movies

7) Socks with cute prints on it : animals, stars, etc.  I know I'm old for this but my heart's still  young!

8) Any Stephen King's books, new or used 

9) I am allergic to metals so I would love receiving any wood and/or plastic jewelry 

10) Any surprise you might like to send me! =) 


Thank you soooooo much!!! Any of those wishes granted will make me the happiest lady!

Happy Holidays from Ohio!

I'm getting in on this a little late this year (it's my second year) but I figure better late than never. I've already had so much fun going through the archives starting on Nov 1st and working my way through all the lists. I read every one last year and plan to do the same this year! I try and grant as many wishes as I can, and since I have a part-time job now, I can spread even more cheer than I did last year.

I'm 29 years old and live in Ohio with my boyfriend and our wonderful son, Collin, who is 14 months old and the absolute joy of my life.

1. Reduce, Reuse, THEN Recycle. Here is a website full of ideas how.

2. Be a conscious consumer. Try and learn where the products you buy are made. And how they are made. And who made them. Do your research and then buy wisely from companies that have the same values and goals as you do. Example: I try and buy from local farms/businesses and I try to buy organic and fair trade food and textiles.

3. Try and change at least one thing in your life to benefit the environment/the earth/future generations. Here is a list of eco/green/environmental things you can do. And if you already do these things...tell me about it!

4. Hair elastics. Just the regular, run of the mill hair elastics to pull back hair into a ponytail. I have long hair and long hair + baby = hair pulling, so I wear my hair up almost all the time. And I think my house has a black hole that sucks in all my hair elastics (as well as pens and lone socks, but that's another story). I prefer the ones without the metal band, but I use any kind I can find.

5. A new sleep mask. Mine is over 4 years old with almost every night use...so it's kinda getting icky. But I love sleeping with slight pressure over my eyes and a new mask like this one or something like it would be lovely.

6. DVD copies (Region 1) of Footballer's Wives, Seasons Four and Five. They aren't available in the USA and I am addicted to this series and have only seen up to Season Three. I would love to be able to finish the series. I cannot do Internet downloads of these. So it would have to be in DVD form. Copies or burned directly from the TV are fine!

7. A specific recipe. I used to have an awesome recipe for these cookies called “Snowball Cookies” They were very simple; just a normal dough with chopped walnuts and then after they are baked they get rolled in powdered sugar while warm. They are in a ball form. Anyways, I lost the recipe and have tried to find it on the Internet, but I cannot find the same one I had. I've tried different versions of these cookies, but they all come out wrong...the cookie falls apart after baking...crumbles when you bite into it. If anyone could send me a tried and true, fail safe version of these I would love you forever.

8. Copies of the UK versions of the Harry Potter books (except Goblet of Fire) I love Harry Potter and re-read my copies over and over…it would be cool to read the UK adult versions.

9. A webcam for a desktop computer that is running Windows 98. My mom really wants a webcam so she can see me and my family as well as my sister and her family. We live only 2 hours away from her, but she's my best friend and it would be so awesome to be able to see her everyday! My father's computer is very old and he refuses to get a new one and has told my mom “there's no webcams out there that will run with this system so you are out of luck.” but I *know* there has to be an old, used webcam out there that no one is using anymore. Or, if you could point me in the direction of where to buy one that runs of Win98 I would appreciate that too!

10. Be safe this holiday season and always designate a driver if you are going to be drinking. This is a gift for both you and everyone else on the roads.
