December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

Brand NEW grandbaby...I read your blog everyday, love it. So many excellent ideas. Keep up the good work.

Ohhh...I can't decide what I am most looking forward to....decorating, time with family...it's the most wonderful time of the year.

Ali, Congratulations on your blog! Honestly, it's the first thing I look at each weekday, as soon as I can set aside some time for me. Each year, I intend to thoroughly enjoy the true meaning of Christmas, and experience the peace and tranquility of this beautiful season. And somehow, it begins to unravel mid-way through December. I am determined this year to not let that happen. Spending time with my family is what it's all about, and I am planning now on how to keep that my top priority. And I had decided months ago to complete a December Daily Album because I was so inspired by yours last year. Thanks for your continued inspiration.
Peace and Blessings to you, Chris, and Simon!

I am looking forward to my son's first Christmas! It will be so fun to watch him enjoy the holidays!

Looking forward to having ALL my children with me. The oldest is moving nearer to us! The best Christmas gift!

i'm so excited because this year we are doing something different. i'm a single mom and this is my first christmas in an empty nest...(sad face).so i thought we could have "the 4 weeks of christmas". we will get together once every week and exchange a gift. our first day is dec.1st. i bought tickets to CASTING CROWNS concert. that is our kick off night and if this goes even half as well as i expect it may become
OUR FAMILY TRADITION. i can't wait.

I look forward to finishing our living room and kitchen so we can host the most fabulous Christmas party!

I LOVE the Holidays; especially Christmas. And what I am most looking forward to is seeing it through my daughter's eyes. She is 2 1/2 and it is so fun to see her reaction to everything; it makes the season even more special.

I am looking forward to seeing how my toddler will be this Christmas. At 24 months, she should be very excited about some of the events. I'm also looking forward to seeing if my 7-year old son will be able to grasp the true meaning of the holiday. Seeing my children enjoy the holidays will be a joy!

Family! I love that family members travel far and wide so we can spend time with them. I love sledding and skating on Christmas Day. I love fires and marshmallows outside in the snow all bundled up in winter clothes. I love the joy on kids faces b/c Santa is magic!

I'm looking forward to this being the first christmas being married, startig our own traditions and getting to spend it with both our families.

I'm really looking forward to being home with my family this year! I miss them and love being home for an extended period of time! My grandparents are 83 and 93 and so I love being home to spend quality time with them. This year I'll have a bit more time to spend at home and I am looking forward to decorating the tree, we have a collection of ornaments from over the years and I have a special collection of ornaments that my mom bought me-one each year! Now with 24 ornaments my "stuff" can fill one side of the tree.

i can't wait until the holiday season...
it means spending time with family. love to hang out with my family...
thanks for all the cool inspiring projects you do...they really make you think of the simple everyday things that people take for granted...

Ali- The snowflake faerie brushes would look so cute on that journal!

I'm looking forward to having the kids home from school, baking cookies, decorating the tree, watching "Polar Express" at least 200 times, christmas music, hot chocolate, and just spending time together as a family. Its' magic.

I am looking forward to the snow :) Playing in the snow with my son and hopefully teaching him to skii and skate this year.

My Gramma died this summer, so it's going to be very different this Christmas without her among us. So we are making new traditions with my fiance which we can pass to our children in the future.

Hi Ali
Congrats on the top 1000 blog!!
I love love love christmas!! I love decorating the day after Thanksgiving, listening to Christmas music (sometimes before Christmas). I love shopping and wrapping presents. And my kids are already requesting to make advent loops. A project we started last year so they wouldn't ask me every day when it was Christmas, and also an excellent way to use some paper scraps!
Thanx
