December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

Celebrating Advent for the first time with my family.

This year is going to be super special. This is our daughter's first holiday season! We announced the pregnancy to our families last Thanksgiving, so it will be awesome to actually have her with us this year. And Christmas... oh, it is going to be amazing! She will only be 5 1/2 months old, but it is going to be so fun to watch our families dote on her and see her reactions to all the new stuff, like Christmas Trees!

HI Ali,
First, thanks for starting my day most days! It is always so inspiring to drop in. I can't believe you're soon going to be Mom to TWO!!!! Wooo hoo!
This December I will be looking forward to attempting to actually DOING your daily album instead of just reading about it. I am also looking forward to pics of the new soon to be dynamic duo of Baby Girl Edwards and her famous and charming big brother Simon.
So happy for you guys!

I'm actually looking forward to giving away some handmade gifts this year.
Congratulations on your ranking!

I'm looking forward to the 1200 mile road trip to visit my family in Oklahoma. ~Flora

There are soooo many things I look forward to every year...decorating the house, ornament swap with friends, driving around looking at lights, working on my Christmas journals and daily albums, other Christmas crafts, baking, 24/7 Christmas music on the radio, but most important of all is time with my beloved family!!! None of the other stuff matters without them!!!

I love the anticipation and the coziness of Chrismas Eve, when everything is done, and I jus savor the moment. : )

I'm looking forward to slowing down, enjoying the decorations, hopefully a trip to NYC, and listening to Christmas music...Nov 1 is the date I give myself to start listening!

I look forward to decorating the house and baking with the kids.

Wrapping gifts is my favorite holiday creative outlet. I like to take my time with each one so that each one is it's own art piece.

I think the question begins the pressure! I hope the season is happy, calm, filled with the things that make us happy.

holiday movie nights with my kids and husband, lights all off except for the christmas tree, and yummy snacks, and snuggled on the couch under blankets, just being together!

I'm looking forward to sitting back and relaxing, enjoying family and friends and not getting caught up in the material aspect of the holiday season. I want to enjoy myself not make myself crazy in the mall.

For the past two years I have been living out of state and missed out on all the traditional holiday love. I am so looking forward to "just being." Home, that is. Home is the best place to be. Surrounded by family, close friends, the warm fire and hot chocolate. It's going to be great! Thank you for the chance to win!

Holy cow, what great giveaways!
I just can't wait to spend time with my family, especially my kids. They get such a kick out of decorating for the holidays. We put on the Christmas music, drink hot chocolate and have cookies while we're getting the house ready for the holidays. Great fun!!

Thanks for all the ispiration and the give aways are a nice bonus...This Christmas I am most looking forward to making cookies with my kids, sitting in the dark watching the Christmas lights, and the gifts that I am making to give away. Thanks again!

I am looking forward to spending time with my extended family. The silly stories the family tells of Christmas's past.The smell of cinnamon coming from the kitchen.Homemade decorations hung on the Christmas tree. Sledding. Attending a live nativity.
Most of all just being in the moment each day.

I love the coziness and warmth of christmas. Being with family and friends, decorating, and indulging in lots of good food. Seeing the excitement on my kids faces and getting to "beleive" right along with them. I can't wait to sit in the dark on Christmas Eve with just the lights on from the tree. I have done this since I was a girl and it always makes me feel at peace and connected to the "reason for the season"!

This will be the first Christmas in 3 years that my fiance will be able to be home from Afghanistan for the holidays. We may even be able to carve out time to get married by then. I can hardly stand it ... The evalicious kit would be perfect for all the documentation and remembering that I will want to do! Thank you.

I am looking forward to making this Christmas season more about giving than receiving. I want to make memories not buy things! Thanks for the December Daily and the giveaways!

My favorite part of Christmas and what I look forward to every year, is seeing the holiday through my children's eyes. I love watching their expressions, seeing the joy on their faces and just their oeverall excitement.

For me the holidays are usually a stressful time, but this year I am determined to have a stress free holiday by creating. I am looking forward to making the Daily December album a new thing this year, and have been busily working on making gifts for family and friends as well.

I'm actually looking forward to my 30th birthday, which is on Christmas. I get to have my whole family over for lots of comfort foods, games, and birthday cake! I never get to "go out" for my birthday, but I don't care - I'd rather be with my family!

I am looking forward to my baby's first Christmas!!! I love Christmas!!!

i look forward to spending time with my husband and son. baking cookies, decorating the tree and of course-shopping.
