Thanks to everyone who entered. Mary from piece garden is the winner!
It's that time again! Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day. I'm sure everyone is frantically visiting as many blogs as they can this week so I'll try to make this short and sweet.
Up for grabs:
This drawstring bag is currently on it's way to Australia for a swap I was in, but I have one just like it that one lucky winner will receive filled with some other goodies. I'm not sure what I'll be stuffing in there yet, but as you can see below I have lots of fun things leftover from the Christmas bazaar I recently participated in. You won't be disappointed!
The rules:
Leave one comment telling me what you love most about this time of year. For me, it's the snow and everything that comes with it. Sweaters & scarves; cold days spent curled up under a blanket, sipping spiked hot cider, and watching Christmas movies; hiking around the mountains looking for the perfect Christmas tree while the dogs run around & play in the snow.
You do not need to follow my blog to win, but if you like what you see I won't say no to new followers. ;) Leave a second comment if you become (or already are) a follower.
Please be sure that you include your email address if it's not already linked up with your Blogger profile.
The giveaway will be open until Friday afternoon, December 16th. A winner will be drawn & notified on Saturday and the prize will be shipped shortly after that.
I'm sorry, but this giveaway is only open to U.S. residents.

I love lighting candles and warm drinks on cold days. Also the cold, grey weather seems to inspire me to craft more, definitely a positive!

Seems my other comment never made it lol! I like to listen to Christmas music that reminds me of family and friends.
I played a Perry Como Christmas CD yesterday while sewing and remember how my departed MIL use to sing and dance to Perry (they were on first name basis lol).
I think I like this time of year because people just seem to be more forgiving and giving.
I like this time of year because I get to see all of my family that doesn't live close by!
Of course I follow you! : ) I love this bag too!! Thanks for giving it away!
I like the extra time I get to spend with the Hubbums! jinglesells at gamil dot com
I like giving gifts. robyn(dot)geddes(at)gmail(dot)com
After being open 7 days a week from May thru Chrismas, the first (of many) Sunday afternoon naps; drowsing thru a football game, reading until I fall asleep, or just diving under the quilts while a blizzard rages outside. I love to hear the wind HOWL when I'm warm and sleepy and the Christmas tree lights are across the room glowing. BLISS!
AW, thanks for letting me get that off my chest. Two more weeks, two more weeks, two more weeks......
I enjoy all the extra time with family. Well, most of it. ;)

I love the blankets and cider, too! I just wish I could turn off the cold when I have to go outside for any reason at all. LOL

I love the winter walks w/ my family - our dogs loves it too. Then something warm to drink. thanks for the nice giveaway.
I love the cooler weather after enduring another Southern summer. I also love the extra focus on Christ that we have in our house during the Advent and Christmas season. :)
I so love the food that comes along with this time of year! Watching the snow fall while nice and toasty inside the house in front of the fireplace is also a favorite.
Already a follower of your great blog!!

I love the joy and spirit of giving (so this is perfect!)
I love the baking, the food, the anticipation and especially the Christmas morning breakfast- smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, fruit plate and PA Dutch sticky buns and of course...the champagne.

I love spending time with my family - playing games, eating, talking. Thanks for the giveaway! Merry Christmas!
My favorite part about this time of year is that I get to spend more quality time with the people I love. It seems that people are more willing to put away their cellphones and tv remotes, and just talk. I also love hats and scarves!
P.S.- my birthday is on Saturday, and this would be such a great birthday present. :)

What I like most about winter time is drinking hot chocolate. It didn't feel like December today, it's in the 70's in Alabama today.
I love having Christmas lights on the tree turned on, and the rest of the house dark.
I love sitting in front of the fireplace. :)

I love the time with friends and family.
I love being with family.
I love Christmas, and I love to knit (which I only seem to do in the winter). That bag would be great for holding knitting projects! Merry Christmas!
I live in So Tex. It is 65 Degrees right now and I just opened some windows for fresh air. SO climate change doesn't factor in but I love to visit my family. We are spread out over many states and try, during each year, to gather as many in one spot as possible. I am always up for these gatherings, especially at Thanksgiving/Christmas. This year we are planning to travel to Louisiana and Arkansas. Thank you.

I love almost everything about the holidays! The only thing I don't like is that the stores start the season way too early. At my house it all starts December 1st, the tree, the music and the baking.
majorasue(at)hotmail(dot)com
I love the winter sports!
Thanks for the generous giveaway! I love spending time with my extended family at Christmas time. I also love using the holidays as an excuse to slow down and just snuggle on the couch with my husband and my dog watching movies and drinking cider. akmajor (at) gmail (dot) com
I love how excited my 2 yo is by all the lights, the tree, etc.
What a darling bag! Love the fabric also! I love the holidays and spending time with family and friends that we don't see often. Love the food and parties that usually happen as well.
Thank you for your giveaway and a chance to win.

I love all the hubbub surrounding Christmas! The shopping, the sewing, the parties, the shows...It's such a busy, positive time of year -- I still get super excited!
I love hot chocolate and blankets this time of year. I wish I had a fireplace because I know I would love a fire burning in the evening too.
Thanks for the chance to win!
