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!

    Best part of the holidays is time with family and friends and sharing of good memories. Love these wreaths – I even made some for my family from our childhood ornaments. Thanks Pam and Suzy for giving us info on making these cherished wreaths.

    I love family memories about the holiday seasons and the memories that will be created with the upcoming season. These wreaths bring back fond memories from Christmases past. Love.

    I love decorating for the season with my tinsel tree, mica snow Christmas village houses, pine cone elves and of course all my vintage Christmas orns, glass indents and retro-plastics included! I get so many nice comments from friends that visit since many don’t realize how really wonderful all the vintage decorations are until they see them displayed. They all share memories of Christmas around their family trees, and that gives me new memories too.

    This Christmas is very special to us because it will be our first back in the U.S. after living abroad for 8 years! My favorite memories are always centered around decorating the tree and Christmas morning in front of the fire with family! Oh random number generator, pick me pick me pick me!
