The Wish List Case

I've seen several of these wish lists around the knit/crochet blog rings, and thought, "What the heck, I may as well try it." First the instructions:

Step One

Make a post to your weblog/journal. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two
Surf around your blogroll (or friend's blogrolls, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

My List
1. I wish for the newest Diane Mott Davidson mystery, Double Shot.
2. I wish for some awesome sock yarn, like Reggia or Opal.
3. I wish for a gift certificate to Elann.
4. I wish for anything else on my Amazon Wishlist.
5. I wish for a second car for my husband, so he wouldn't have to stay home all day all the time with the kids while I have the car at work.
6. I wish for Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy, Holly Hobbie, and Golden Book collectibles.
7. I wish for more free time to crochet and read.
8. I wish for Emma to get a basket in her last game of basketball next week.
9. I wish for a new home, one that is in better shape than ours, and a little bit bigger.
10. I wish for a job that pays more than $24,000, and one that I like better.

Dear Santa and Elves,
If you can grant me any of my wishes, please contact me at shelby12314472{at}yahoo{dot}com.
Sincerely,
Michelle
