First let me say, a HUUUUUUUGE thank you to all the incredible vendors! Obviously this couldn't have happened without the amazing donations of these super crafty businesses! Please keep them on your "like" list and check in to see what they are doing through the year.

And a thank you to all of you fans of course! It's all of you that allow us to do what we love and provide you with those things! So THANK YOU!!! A thousand times over fans:-)

Santa's Wish List Giveaway

After participating in a few giveaways on Facebook and going from 300 fans to 2100 fans, I couldn't help but want to share the love with other small businesses. These small businesses work very hard to make each of their items with love and what's better than helping a small business while getting something UNIQUE, handmade, one of a kind! This giveaway is possible BECAUSE of the generosity of these vendors, listed below in no specific order.

So, with that said... let me introduce the "Santa's Wish List" Giveaway. This is a huge eclectic mix of items that one lucky winner will get. Use the items as Christmas gifts for yourself, your family, your friends, your neighbors. There will be something for everyone on your list and this will help you get that list DONE!

In order to get all these items for FREE, you will need to do a little work for them!

RULES/HOW TO ENTER:
*The contest starts immediately after the blog post goes live and ends Sunday Night (12/12) when the clock strikes 9:00 EST.

STEP 1)You MUST “like” or “friend request” ALL OF THE VENDORS participating in this give-away (I made a list below so you can click on them all in a row much easier). WARNING: LEAVE YOUR FB COMMENTS A LITTLE AT A TIME SO FACEBOOK DOESN’T BLOCK YOU FROM COMMENTING!
