Or… if you know you are never gonna get this crafty yourself — here’s your chance to win our super famous annual giveaway: A vintage Shiny Brite ornament wreath made by the the queen of Shiny Brite crafting, the talented and generous Georgia Peachez.

Every year, as a gift to readers, I buy a wreath from Suzy aka Georgia Peachez for this giveaway. Thank you, readers, for being THE BEST. I luv you! Suzy always jumps to help out. She gave me a great price (her wreaths now sell for $250! each!) — and quick as I asked, she made this special wreath just for us. She said:

Pam, I made a wreath with my two favorite elements, a knee hugger elf and a reindeer.

Heck to the yeah, knee hugger elf and reindeer! Thank you, Suzy!

    Love your site and the wreath is just beautiful! I love everything about Christmas ~ my family, the music, the decorations, the food. But most of all I love that Jesus came to earth, born in a manger. He didn’t stay there but died and rose again that we might be saved from our sins and live for eternity with Him in Heaven. I love it best when my family is all together and the grandbabies are here. I don’t need anything for Christmas as long as I have my family close 🙂

    My favorite part of the holidays is spending time with family and decorating. Also I like buying gifts for people.

    I recently became am “empty nester” and am having a rough time adjusting to a quiet house… Sooooo the best thing about this Christmas this year will be having both my kids at home for a straight two weeks!!! Yay!! Can’t wait!!

    I treasure the ornaments I have from my Grandmother’s collection, would adore a wreath made of similar ornaments.

    My favorite part of the holiday is decorating with my kids and pulling out all the old ornaments and decorations and telling them stories about how or when I collected each or if they were handed down about family members. We light a fire and have treats, it is a fun time! Their faces and the excitement of sharing and giving make the holiday season special for me. I hope they never outgrow it!

    I love everything about Christmas! Everything! And this year I get to be with my family for Christmas for the first time in several years, so I’m extra excited. And if I win this wreath, it will be the best Christmas ever! 😉

    Love these wreaths! I love playing my Christmas records while I decorate the tree. Family, treats, cozy knits… that’s what I love. I’m already on the email list.

    Thanks for this great opportunity! Oh yes, I remember all of the ornaments from the 50s and 60s. My Mom loved to decorate for the Holidays. Many fond memories in this wreath of Susan’s. It would be welcomed in my home.
