Oh my goodness!

Several weeks ago I won a giveaway on Brenda's blog. I've read her blog for over a year now. She's a talented and generous lady.
She does absolutely darling crafts and sells them on Etsy. She's posted pictures of her home before and it's just mouth-watering.

Yesterday my package arrived and I was overwhelmed!

Oh. My. Deliciousness!!!!
Such cute stuff!
Cute table runner!


And matching apron.



All of the gifts (12 of them to be exact) were numbered and wrapped so beautifully with coordinating ribbon.
I think I was supposed to do a 12 Days of Christmas thing, but I couldn't stand it.
So I opened each one carefully, enjoying the wrapping paper and ribbons.

Thank you so much BRENDA!!!!!
You are the best SANTA EVER!


My home and my tree are more beautiful today!


Go visit her.
I promise you won't regret it.

Now, speaking of giveaways.
The winners of my VOTE FOR CRASH TEST DUMMY giveaway:

The winner of the bracelet is Debbie at Just Breathe!
The winner of the chocolates is Keeley at the Gusty Ridge Ranch!
Congrats to the winners!
I hope you are excited for winning.
I was excited for winning.

Voting isn't over for Crash Test Dummy either.
You can still vote!
Do it!

THAT is a lot of crafts. She must have spend HOURS crafting all of that. I just don't see crafts like that very often

I kill myself really, I do.

In all seriousness - well done! They are so cute!

Doran & Jody said...

WOW! Talented and fun!!

You remind me of my grandpa at Christmas. He use to shake the packages all the way up til Christmas, but it sounds like he had a LITTLE more self control.

American Homemaker said...

How fun! What an awesome giveaway! :)

Kimmie said...

WOW!! I love how she has everything perfectly wrapped!!

It looks like how I like to do things. Only this year, you would never had known that from what we dropped off at your house for holiday treats.

I bought cute cellophane bags, matching paper and stickers, ribbon, etc.... and Tracy commented how we should let everyone participate in "wrapping up" our holiday treats and get to "choose" something for it. So Tracy chose the paper the note was printed on, Jade chose the paper that went around the almonds, Ethan chose the cellophane bags and I chose the sticker. It sure didn't coordinate too well, but we all worked together and it was awesome! (even though it didn't have the most perfect appearance). It was a fun evening for our family.

Brenda is a sweetheart that truly inspires me. SO happy that you were the lucky recipient of her giveaway!! I don't think I've seen someone put more work into a giveaway gift...you are the most amazing person that is always doing for others and SO happy you got to have so many FUN things to open and enjoy yourself!!

Hope to see you during the holidays...ENJOY!!
