Just know this is a life changing experience for EVERYONE involved.

You have not been forgotten mini giveaway winners!

As you can see making these little beauties was not my challenge, as they have been sitting in this little pile for two weeks now.

The challenge you ask.  

If I can ever get my foot off this moses basket, then maybe I could use it to drive to the post office!

Promise they will be mailed this week!

Santa Letter Tradition.

As we all know cookies are Santa's favorite thing to get at Christmas Eve.

We also leave carrots for the reindeer.

Of course Buggie leaves these items for the "Big" man and his flying friends.

But last year I wanted to start a new tradition to carry on through the years.

So instead of the standard post-it-note thank you, thats what I always got from Santa, I decided

Santa was going to leave a note to Buggie.

This note was going to highlight all the great things she did through the year.

At 2 and 1/2 it was filled with things like sharing and playing nice with her friends.

But this years letter is going to be a lot more in depth, since we had her starting school

and becoming a big sister to talk about.

Since "Santa" is drafting these letters on the computer, I (oops I mean he) plans to compile them over the years into a book.  Something I would hope she will cherish.  Especially when she is older and knows who is really behind the letters.

Jellybeans letter will be fun to do this year also, hum you eat great, poop even better, and sleep the best!

Silly story to share about leaving cookies for Santa.

A woman my Hubby works with was leaving cookies for Santa with her 5 year old.

Her daughter wanted to leave something for Mrs Claus, of course the Mom was all about that.

So she asked her daughter what do you think Mrs. Claus would like.  

Her daughter said "Um I think a glass of wine."

HAHAHA!

So Santa gets cookies and Mrs Claus gets a glass of wine...LOVE IT!

Linking this post up over at Kelly's Korner.  Go check out the other

traditions people have, there maybe one you would like to try!

Deck the Tree Giveaway {Day Four of the Holiday week of Giveaways}

Last year I came across the most adorable seller on Etsy at September House.  IR embroidery, I think its so delicate and just lovely.  So I reached out to Corinne to see if she could make my family a custom ornament and another for a old friend.  And she truly came through.  Check out my ornament below.

Cute right?  

She makes the most darling pieces. 

I love her DIY calendar kits, what a great gift for the crafter in your lives.

I asked Corinne if she would host a giveaway this week, knowing this was her busiest time of the year I kept my fingers crossed, and am so happy that she said YES!

She has offered to make one lucky winner a monogramed ornament in your choice of colors!

Here is how to enter (Please leave a separate comment for each entry):

4.. Tell us about a special item that has been passed done to you, that makes it appearance during the holidays.   (Mine would be my Great Nana's nativity set.  We lost baby Jesus years ago to the heat of the attic (He was made of wax) so he was replaced with a paper towel.  I could really replace him but the paper towel is over 15 yrs old now!)

Giveaway is open until midnight on Dec 4 and a winner will be announced using random.org on Dec 5.

Nothing like a new pair of sneaks...

Every year since Buggie was born, around the holidays I get her a pair of

silver dress shoes.  You know for all the "events" we get invited too, ha kidding.

So this year I wanted to get her something much more 

practical and useful.  So I found the perfect 

pair of gold sneaks by Morgan and Milo.

I am so excited to get some cute knee highs and tights for her to wear with them.

I purchased these cuties from a local store, Tiny Toes, that carries my hair accessory line, Bsweet Boutique.  You can also shop Tiny Toes online, they just launch their e-commerce site this year.

Moni Rose Winner...

And the winner is Tanya, who said she would choose option one.  I am sure Monica and I both will be doing a post on the finish product so check back!
