Let's Celebrate!

I haven't done a giveaway on the ol' blog here in a looooooong time. What do you say we fix that today?? We could call this a Merry Christmas giveaway, a blog anniversary giveaway (my third anniversary was back in October), or even, get this, a one-million hits celebration giveaway, a milestone I quietly passed around September/October, shortly before my blog anniversary. But what it really is is a Thank YOU celebration for all of you who continue to visit with me here at Pickled Paper Designs. I'm so grateful for each of you -- for your emails and comments, your support and encouragement. You're the best readers any blogger could ask for!

I mentioned yesterday that I'd have lots to share today, so let's get started! No hoops to jump through, just leave a comment and you'll be entered into a random drawing. Winner takes ALL (a $180+ value)! The deadline to enter is 11:59 pm EST Thursday, December 23. I'll announce the winner sometime on Friday, Christmas Eve. Fun!

Before I spell out the prize package contents, I'd like to thank the companies who have so generously contributed to this giveaway. These are companies that I've either worked with or purchased from for years! I am confident you'll love these products as much as I do!
