a new year's giveaway

Now that all the gifts have been opened, I can finally share what I've been so busy making!  
It truly was a handmade Christmas this year and I enjoyed the challenge of creating gifts with personal meanings behind them.  In fact, I had so much fun I've decided to give one of my creations away!  

The prize is a "love letter in a bottle" pendant necklace with a message from God penned in a tiny scroll. 

The winner will be selected by a random comment generator on New Year's Day.
To enter this giveaway, simply leave a comment with some form of contact information so I can notify you if you win (if your e-mail is somewhere on your web page that is sufficient).  
and...
If you have participated in my Christmas Link-Up, The Five Senses of Christmas, you will get 2 entries! 

Just because I love you.

I got gifts, too!  The best kind.  Awards that make me feel special.

Thank you, Mrs. Buckster for the Happy Award.  You make me laugh and are seriously the coolest person ever. 

And thank you beautiful Natalieh, for the Jesus Blog Award.  You have the purest heart.


*I'll be posting more of my handmade creations this week.
