"A Few of My Favorite Things" Giveaway!

 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays my bloggy friends! Is everyone busy with shopping and planning for the big day? Me and my girls went out Monday to do a little shopping. The stores were pretty busy, which is to be expected this time of year, but I don't do well around big crowds of people, so I was more than ready to head home after being in all the hustle and bustle for about eight hours.

Am I the only one who feels like this year has come and gone in the blink of an eye? Good grief! Where's the pause button???

Okay, now on to the good stuff! I gave you guys a little hint at the end of yesterdays post about the giveaway. Since it's Christmastime, and because I love giving gifts, I wanted to do something special  and have a giveaway! Yay! The theme for my giveaway is "A Few of My Favorite Things", which is what's in the giveaway package. I've included pictures so you can see all the goodies you'll be getting.(Decorations not included).

    1. Thanks so much walkingonsunshine for entering my giveaway and for following my blog! I absolutely love the things you listed too! The Twinings winter spice tea is so good, and Bath and Body Works candles are awesome! We have a family tradition of going to look at Christmas lights every year. I pack up cups, hot water, and yummy hot cocoa to take with us, so we can sip on that while looking at lights. Spending time with my loved ones is probably my most favorite thing to do all year round! I wish you and your family a very blessed Christmas as well!
