GIVEAWAY~ Second Annual Black Friday Freebie

Welcome to the 2nd annual Black Friday Freebie!

Last summer I proclaimed that I was putting myself on a craft buying diet and forcing myself to use up the tons of supplies that I already had on hand. In thinking about the holiday memories I wanted to make with my children I decided that this year we would try to create beautiful gifts or support other artists and select their handmade creations.

Beginning on Monday through Christmas I will be posting tutorials on creating your own holiday treasures and decor for very little money.

Some of the first gifts that we made were corsages topped with vintage embellishments. The Fashionista selected the ribbon combinations and Sweet Boy picked out which treasures of Christmas past would go in the centers.

You can wear the corsages traditionally pinned to a sweater or coat, or jazz up an everyday pillow with some seasonal charm.

Try placing one atop a miniature tree or a wrapped bottle of cider for a quick but pretty gift.

They can be the perfect finishing touch on top of a present.

Or the crowning glory in your princesses hair.

We of course had so much fun that we kept on going until the vintage treasures ran out.

Yes, that's right. These are the last of the Christmas handcrafted, one of a kind corsages. I have listed the extras in my Etsy shop.

The giveaway is everything shown in the first photo of this post. It includes some yummy soap, hot cocoa, a crafty book from the queen of Christmas herself, vintage ribbons, trims, and buttons, a corsage of course and a few surprises.

Please visit my shop and select your favorite corsage then come back here and leave me a comment on how you would use the corsage.

Good luck! A winner will be selected on Friday, December 4th.

UPDATE: The Random Number Generator has selected Kathy from Creative Home Expressions as the winner! I hope you enjoy your seasonal goodness.
