I’m going to try to be more regular about my Friday Shortlist postings, just because I love to give shout-outs to my favorite things! This being the Christmas season, my favorites list is quite long, so without further ado…

• Jingle Spells 3: way too much fun for Harry Potter and wizardrock fans!
• Shootsac: I’m getting one of these for Christmas, are you?
• Hair Bands: Loving the nostalgia right now! Cinderella, Poison, Def Leppard, Firehouse, Scorpions, etc. Get your own Hair Band station on Pandora!
• New Super Mario Bros: SO hoping Santa brings us one of these!!
• The poor man’s macro lens: I just learned about this the other day from Brenda’s blog. I’m hooked! I ordered an adapter for my Canon 50mm 1.2, but had to play around in the meantime. Yes, these are a bit blurry, but I was just experimenting by holding the lens up to my camera. So cool!
