Most folks say it is better to give than receive. Luckily I have gotten to participate in both in the last couple of weeks and I think they are both great! As soon as Jacquie from The Middle of 11 won my giveaway I entered one sponsored by Miss Sandy at Quill Cottage. Sandy is a very sweet lady who is extremely talented. She writes beautifully, takes wonderful photos and is quite talented in the crafting department. If you would like some really nice craft ideas for Christmas check out her blog. Anywho I found out the day after Thanksgiving I had won! Yippee, I never win anything. So I wanted you to see what I received....Noticed the cute wrapping of each individual gift. How sweet is that?Each little package had this sweet little name tag on it. It doesn't look homemade but I assume it is one of her little beauties. The great thing about them I can use each and every one.Another little beauty that I received was this gorgeous snow flake ornament. Even my husband was impressed that it was handmade.This is all the packages unwrapped. I received a wonderful Victorian Christmas magazine, Christmas CD, tree scented candles and wonderful hot cocoa mixes.
So in the end, I have to say giving gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling that makes you feel really good inside. Receiving? I'd have to say I experienced those wonderful feelings as well.
Also, just to let you know Miss Sandy is having giveaways all month long so be sure to check out her blog and enjoy!! Thanks again Sandy!!!
