GET & GIVE AWAY!!!

Seriously, I could not be more excited about today's post.  I have been working on this for weeks now (when I, clearly, should have been doing things like wrapping gifts and grading papers), and it is finally time to announce...
The Prizes*...

1. Deborah Needleman's book The Perfectly Imperfect Home.  This was written by the founder of Domino Magazine, and I think the title does the talking.  The Nester talks about this book all the time, and I finally couldn't resist anymore.  I love the concept behind the book, and as an extra bonus, it looks stylish just sitting around the house. The two copies - one I ordered for myself, of course - came this weekend, and it is beautiful!  Seriously.

 2. A handmade infinity cowl.  In case you didn't know, these things are all the rage this year!  My friend Libby makes and sells them from her blog, and they are heavenly... So soft and warm and easy to wear.  I have an oatmeal one, and Libby is busy now knitting another for my lucky reader!

3. A Maybook 2013 Day Planner.  This is my "go to" gift this season.  They are so cute and designing them is super easy (and fun).  I'll even let you choose your own design! ;)

4. A JCrew Factory iPhone 4 Cover.  I have used JCrew covers on my phone for almost a year now.  I love them because a.) they are adorable (and you know that is important to me), and b.) they are durable.  Unlike most of the other trendy covers I've seen, these are made out of a rubbery plastic (instead of hard) that gives it some 'bounce.'  Trust me, if this thing can survive Sam's ringer... It can survive pretty much anything.

5. An Arielle Necklace in Turquoise from Crystal Faye.  I've been really into statement necklaces all year, and I've got no intention of stopping any time soon.  I just love this necklace! Period.

and...

A $100 donation to the charity/cause of your choice from E, Myself, and I.

The Details...

There is really nothing fancy about this.  In fact, I totally realize I can't compete with some of the (15 million) amazing giveaways going on in blog-world right now... I honestly just wanted an excuse to buy lots of fun things for YOU, my wonderful readers, this holiday season.  And ALSO, I feel very fortunate that this little blog has been able to bless me (in a small, but not insignificant, way) financially this year, and am happy to be able to "give back" a little bit.  I'd say that calls for a celebration!

Of course, I couldn't resist the opportunity to try out the Rafflecopter we've seen so much lately...  There are lots of easy (and fun) ways to enter... I hope you will oblige!

a Rafflecopter giveaway


The contest will be open until December 20th, and I will announce the winner on Friday the 21st.

  That's all. 
Are you in?
*This give away is 100% sponsored by me. I purchased all of these goodies myself, and was not paid in any form to talk about the products or the individual stores/shops.  These came straight from my own Christmas Wish List and are products I genuinely use/like a lot!

For Your Sunday

Just a little something to make you smile (or totally judge me as the worst parent in the world) today.


Christmas card?  Haha! Tis the season! :)

And, don't forget...

Be sure to check back tomorrow for details. (Have I mentioned I'm excited about this?!?!)

My Four Gifts + Link-up

Unless you've been living in a hole, you've heard of the Four Gifts concept this Christmas.
(In case you actually have been living in a hole, here's one of the many sites that explains it.) 

Anyway, I think it is an awesome idea; but, I am personally opting for an even simpler (more because I'm lazy than because I'm "simple") idea of giving just three - uncategorized - gifts to Sam. However, that doesn't stop me from thinking about my own Need/Want/Wear/Reads this Christmas...

So, just for kicks, I've created my own list* using that format:

1. Pottery Barn Matine Toile Duvet Cover & Sham

2. Madewell Transport Tote in English Saddle (with a monogram added, of course)

3. Wicked Good Moccasin Slippers from LL Bean

4. Heaven is Here by Stephanie Nielson of Nie Nie Dialogues blog

And, for even more kicks, I'm including (totally randomly/ probably no one will come to my party) a little link-up down below for you to write your own post in this style and share it here!  I (really) hope you will!

Feel free to grab this semi-cute image to use as your template.  Just upload it into PicMonkey, add text (and photos if you want), and voila!  You can, obviously, also make your own image or not have an image at all.

Have a great weekend!

* Just so you know, I'm not being paid or given free stuff to mention these items.  If I was, they wouldn't be on my "wish" list, right? ;)

P.S. Speaking of wish lists, don't forget about my super fun giveaway coming next week.  Look for the big announcement on Monday!!!
