Six Weeks To Christmas Giveaway #1

Can you believe there are only six weeks until Christmas? Aah!! I'm sure I'm not the only one freaking about Christmas shopping....I haven't even begun! Nevermind...it will all get done eventually, right? :)

Well to relieve some of the holiday stress and countdown to the holidays, I'm excited to start a Six Weeks To Christmas Weekly Giveaway. I'll be giving away at least one item per week and there will be multiple ways to enter. Sound like fun?? If so, let the fun begin!

Six Weeks To Christmas Giveaway #1

2010

I love these ornaments! They come in multiple initials and even year numbers as well. The 2010 ornament has been a big hit so far! These ornaments look great in stockings, on your Christmas tree and even add the special wrapping touch to a gift. I know I'll be giving some as hostess gifts this holiday season.

Things To Look Forward to in November

I'm so excited that it's November. I've been counting down the days for a few weeks now...Is that sad? Hopefully I'm not the only one :). It's funny because I've never really been a person to love November because of the weather, but this year it's different. Here's what I'm looking forward to this month:

Junior League Holiday Market

I'm excited about participating in this show again. Andrew, Kim and I will be out at the Central Park Hall at Expo Square this Saturday (9 a.m. - 6 p.m.) and Sunday ( 12 p.m. - 5 p.m.). If you're in area, be sure to stop by and say hi.

New Car

My lease is up in January, so we're ordering an SUV to replace my car. The plan is to have it in time for our holiday traveling in December. I can't wait!

This will be my second craft show of the holiday season. I've heard that this show is a lot better than the July show, so I'm looking forward to seeing all of the different vendors...especially the holiday vendors. Bring on the Christmas decorations :).

Denver, CO

We're heading to Colorado for Thanksgiving this year. Andrew's grandma just moved out to Denver, so we're having a small family reunion. We spent one night in Denver last July before driving up to Breckenridge, so we can't wait to explore the city some more.

Christmas Decorations

I love Christmas and decorating! I wasn't able to decorate for Christmas last year because I was so busy with orders and traveling for the holidays. This made me sad, but you can only do so much. You know? This year, I have extra PTO, so I'm taking at least one day to deck the halls. Plus, we'll be having Christmas at our house with Andrew's family, so it gives me a reason to not skip the decorating this year. Hopefully, I'll be able to find some great buys at the upcoming craft shows. I'll be sure to share pictures as soon as everything is up.

So, here's a question for you...what are you looking forward to this month?
