Give Thanks: Holiday Giveaway

I have a lot to be thankful for.

* I have a husband who selflessly uprooted himself from the country he loved, from his family and the life that he lived in order to be with me (and he only complained of homesickness for eight months!!). He supports me in everything I do and makes it a point to let me know how much he loves and appreciates me every day.

* I have have two healthy daughters, who are vibrant and full of life and who, most important of all, love each other more than anything.

* I have a mother who does her best to stand behind me and support the life-altering choices I am known to make.

* I have a wonderful and supportive family, including grandparents who do everything they can to help me, Will and the girls have an excellent quality of life. And while my Grampa has been battling with cancer (which has now spread to his blood) for the last ten years, I am thankful that he has been there to attend my highschool Father/Daughter dances, walk me down the aisle, and have a chance to know my husband and daughters (who affectionately call him "Beepa").

* I have wonderful life-long friends who I can count on (and who can count on me) through thick and thin. And although none of them live in the same state as me, we remain as close as always, especially me and Jenni.

I wanted to hold a giveaway this month. I love giveaways. I never end up winning them (in fact, I never end up winning anything with the exception of that can of shortening I won at the county fair when I was seven) . So here it is. Open to anyone with an Etsy shop (no matter where you live) because we sell- sell- sell and it would be nice, for once, to get something of our own for nothing!

This giveaway is all about giving thanks. It includes a set of four scrappy patchwork thank you gift tags/scrapbooking embellishments featuring the Freshcut fabrics by designer Heather Bailey, and a coordinating mini giftbag, embellished with love. I also wanted to include a healthy snack, so I have added a set of six large pretzels to the mix. And because pretzels are so boring on their own, I have hand dipped them Coney Island style in thick, rich Hershey's chocolate and covered them in autumn colored candy sprinkles.

This small gift makes a wonderful present to show your thanks and appreciation for someone in your life.

Or you can go ahead and hoard the chocolate and gift set for yourself (which is what I would do). Either way, you can't win this set unless you leave a comment below, letting everyone know just what you are thankful for this year.

On Sunday I will throw names in a hat and draw a winner, so be sure to check back to see if you have won (and also give me your address... you can send me an Etsy convo).

Go ahead and be thankful this holiday season!!
