A Give-away and a Gift Received...

 It's Give-away time again! Who knew hosting contests and give-aways could be such fun? Because the cut-off date for postmarking entries for our Holiday Home contest has just passed, we decided to wrap up the week with a fantastic give-away from one of our talented sponsors, Shey{B}. Shealynn, aka The Camera Strap Girl,  makes beautiful camera straps, guitar straps, isleeves for ipads, cell phone accessories and more to sell in her Etsy shop and they fly off the shelves! Each camera-strap-slipcover is handmade to-order - providing you comfort and style. She has been so generous as to offer one of our lucky readers a $30 credit to shop from her online store, so take a peek at what that $30 could buy you: 

Enter by leaving a comment, becoming a follower (if you aren't already) or by sharing the details of this give-away on your blog, facebook or Twitter page. Let us know you did!

Now, Matthew has someone special to thank:

There is a sweetness on a certain blog that always dazzles and inspires  me.  This amazing image artist provides a colorful and modern perspective on things that are familiar and ubiquitous.  I am always excited to see her ideas and ever fascinated by her world. Who is this talented blogger? It is Koralee from Bluebird Notes and I always check her blog to see what she is thinking and seeing and how she is showing such a magical life.  I was honored when she agreed to create something special for HOLIDAY.  She delighted us by adding gifts to her parcel including  pretty egg cups which my wife claimed immediately and some SMARTIES candie,s which my English neighbors used to bring me every year when I was a child. YOU CANNOT IMAGINE MY DELIGHT.  

I decided to create a Koralee-inspired image to honor and thank her. I hope it lives up to her standards:

Thank you, Koralee. 

Let's meet up at the candy store some day...
