MONTHLY GIVEAWAY #3

ROUND 3! And just in time for Christmas!
Thats right it's a Christmas giveaway! This month we are setting you up for a beautiful Holiday mantel. These fabulous ETSY shop owners are donating everything from your stockings, nativity scene, garland, and a beautiful chalk board print!


First up we have this totally rad Paper Quilled nativity Creche by Cheryl of A Paper Life Original. These are beautifully hand crafted scenes made completely of paper. I ordered one for myself and LOVE IT! It is the perfect size for a little side table decor. It is much sturdier than I thought it would be and for me, that is a huge plus with our little Tepe (puppy) running wild in the house! This would be a great addition to any Holiday! Visit Cheryl by clicking any of these links!

Value: $27.53

Next is this Holy Night Poster it measures 11x14inches and ships so it will be ready to frame and set up as soon as you get it! Katie from It's Hue I Love has loads of great prints but as donated this one in honor of her favorite Christmas carol. It's my favorite too, man I wish I could enter this giveaway!

Value: $30

Becky from Beckamade is donating a pair of these Screen Printed Felt Stockings to hold all of your Christmas goodies. This unique vintage inspired design will be a timeless addition to your holiday decor for sure! With the dimensions 15.5 in x 9.5 it is the perfect size to fit in every little piece of candy (or fruit!) that Santa leaves you while you are sound asleep :) Be sure to visit Becky at each of these fab locations :)
Value: $20 for a set of 2


And finally Andrea of Aidie's Hideaway has kindly donated this beautiful 6ft  star garland with it's silver, gold, and white stars it will easily fit in with anybodies decoration.
