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!

    This shiny brite wreath would definitely become a favorite part of my Chritstmas, along with my collection of vintage LP’s and Movies. Thanks for both of you!

    I love the traditions of Christmas. Going to the Christmas Eve service at church, gathering with family and friends, and remembering days gone by with loved ones….these are precious gifts to me, and refresh my soul during long winter days.

    Favorite part(s) of the season: all the laughing we do on Christmas morning while giving the girls their gifts. And…Santa. Yes, I’m a believer. The spirit of Santa stays with me still. Oh, and I’m a fan of little vintage Christmas deer, too, and love hanging them on my tree.

    Suzy makes the BEST wreaths. I’ve been a fan since setting eyes on one years ago…. you know… just sayin’ cuz she’s awesome.

    I love baking cookies & desserts, listening to Christmas music, and everyone having a little time off of work & school to spend some time together. Everything retro & vintage, also!

    Pulling out ALL the ornaments collected over all the years of raising our family…they are like old friends. Some from family and friends who have passed away or moved out of state…helps me to feel close to them and a piece of them is celebrating with us.

    Christmas is all about celebrating nostalgia and memories for me. It’s retro all the way, and I would LOVE to win that beautiful wreath! Signed up for the newsletter – thanks for the inspiration!

    I love the holidays more this year because we are closer to our family in Kansas so we can visit this season.

  9. Jen says

    I love these wreaths!! My favorite part about the holiday season is cutting down our own tree and decorating it. I love looking at the ornaments from all the years past. Thanks for the chance!

    I love being with my family at Christmas, especially my young grandsons. I also love decorating our tree and house with vintage decorations from my childhood!
