My First Giveaway!!!


In order to properly kick off the new blog, I am really thinking I need to host my own giveaway.  For me, there is nothing better than picking out and then giving the perfect present, and I think I did good this time around!  I love both these items, and want to share them with you.

I love this necklace I found on Etsy.  Who wouldn't want to get this sweet birdie in the mailbox?  It is handmade by Arete, and her shop can be found here.  Stop by and pay her a visit.  You will find beautiful Christmas ideas, I promise.


Next up,  in honor of my love of glitter, the Martha Stewart snow 3-pack.  I am thinking you  might be frantically working on Christmas projects right now, and a little extra glitter might help. The world could use some extra sparkle!

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post.  For an extra chance, I will automatically enter all my followers before I pick a winner.  Don't feel you have to follow, but I do appreciate every one of you!
I will choose a winner on Sunday, November 22, at 10:00 PM.


My own sister, The Middlest Sister, is also having another giveaway.  Look at her sweet stationary set!  You can enter her giveaway here.



Good luck, and thanks so much for stopping by!  I appreciate your time spent here so much.  It has been so much fun to be so warmly welcomed into blogland!  Thanks for visiting.

  18. Better to have followers then no followers at all!! That's because I am new to blogging and I get so excited to see new followers and when I don't see a new one I get kinda sad:( Anyway, congratulations on your first giveaway!!!(you have more entries then mine:() Oh well I will live and it gives those few who did leave a comment a greater chance of winning HA HA
