Tis' The Season {12 Days of Christmas Giveaway}

I am SO excited to finally announcing this giveaway! And what better day, than today BLACK Friday--the official gateway to the holiday shopping season!! I have been working on this giveaway since July! A huge thank you to my mom who helped me find all the prizes and put this all together! I love Christmas. Actually, love doesn't even describe it. The minute the holiday season begins, I become like a kid again. Maybe it's b/c I now get to see it through Alex's eyes, which only adds to the joy and wonder. This is truly my favorite time of the year, and especially this year b/c I get to share my love of not only the holiday, but gift giving w/ all of you--My fans who have made this blog such a success and such a fantastic part of my life. This is my way of saying thank you! I am kind of known for finding that one gift for each person in my life that is "just right", special, unexpected and perfect. I would love to give each one of you one of these gifts, but since the one thing I didn't do in 2011 was win the lottery, how about a prize package instead??!! This giveaway is going to be a little different, staying w/ the 12 Days of Christmas theme. I wish you all a VERY Merry Christmas (and for those who do not celebrate, Happy Holidays!) filled w/ the wonderment of a child, the joy of the Spirit, and the gift of love promised by a baby in a manger so long ago.
