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!

    My favorite thing about Christmas is being snowed in and walking in the silence afterward…last year church bells were ringing as I walked in the snow at the park. Very Dickens-esque!

    Love Shiny Brites. Always wanted to make a wreath so it would be wonderful to win this one.

    My favorite part of the holiday season is decorating our house and tree with my husband and daughters. We trek out to my husband’s uncle’s Christmas tree farm, hike up a hill, and cut down the tree we want. We bring it home, play Christmas music, and make the house warm, cozy, and glittery. I LOVE that day.

    Oh my goodness! I love, LOVE those wreaths. I live in a 1920s home and am slowly fixing it up, wallpaper and all 🙂 Thanks for this chance.

    My favorite time of the season is decorating my Christmas tree with all the Christmas decorations our daughters made since they were in preschool until about age 12. Sectioned Christmas trees strung together with string, glitter ornaments, beaded snowmen, Popsicle stick mangers; all with progressive penmanship names on the backs!! Sweet memories!!

    Making new Christmas memories each year. Decorating my two aluminum trees with Shiny Brite ornaments, one pink and one aqua!

  9. Mita Saldana says

    I love the decorations the most but I also love to revisit all of my childhood memories through tv shows and movies and sharing them with my 9 year old son.

    My favorite thing about the holidays is getting together with the whole family. Lots of laughing, teasing and rolling of the eyes.
