"One of our favorite traditions lasts all year long! After reading the book called Christmas Jars by Jason F. Wright, I was inspired to share the story with my family and start a Christmas Jar of our own! Now we put our spare change in the jar each night, watch it fill up throughout the year, and then anonymously gift the jar to someone in need in December. My kids love it and it keeps them thinking about others the entire year."
Meg is giving away a Winter Gypsy Skinny Scarf. Perfect for adding some color and pattern to your everyday wardrobe this season!

Thanks for sharing ladies! Great job!
Truly creative and original!.Bye.
Whooopeee!
Please enter me too..
Cutest things ever!!! Thanks for the opportunity and Happy Holidays!!
My kids are grown, and the last one left the house this summer. As I trimmed the tree and decorated the ouse, I was struck with such emotions as I pulled out the handmade santa’s and construction paper stained glass pictures. I can’t wait for them to be here for Christmas eve to see some of these wonderful treasures.
What wonderful artists today! I put all of them in my favorites and plan to buy from all of them! I LOVE the Mosiac jeans in the Brassy Apple and have thought of that concept for years but can’t sew so now I can have someone do it!!! Also The Little Pink Studio’s things are just too wonderful and can’t wait to share this website with many of my girls! I so love the vision of Amy’s book and her passion is contagious! Thanks so much for sharing these women with us and wish them the best! Enjoy!!!
As a sidenote, these last few days have been so inspiring as I look at all these websites that I finally took the initiative and closed down mine and am redoing it with hopes of making ours represent our style and passion too!
what a great story for the change jar, we will have to try that one out this year.
thanks
Amy

I love reading about artists. You’ve introduced interesting and clever ones to me. Thank you.

I love the tradition of collecting change in a jar everyday and then giving that jar full of money to someone in need during the holidays. I think I will start that tradition.

I love the scarf!!!
Well, I love almost all scarves… it’s a bit of a fetish. :o)
Amy has written about all me favorite stuff: buttons, vintage sewing notions and hankies. I would love to read them all. Great Christmas tradition Meg!! Cerri is one of my favorite bloggers. She always comes up with the most creative ideas.
These daily stories really give me some good ideas!
So fun to see shops I’m familiar with and new ones to explore.
Thanks for the opportunity to win such great prizes
I have your blog button on my blog also.
On day 9 the stories made me giggle, these make me contemplative. My favorite tradition is also trimming the tree, and the Christmas Jar is just a wonderful and generous idea. I will have to read that book.
Cerri – I’d love to see some of those gingerbread creations. I looked on your blog, and I found pictures of your beautiful girls and the cakes your talented daughter makes, but no gingerbread pirate ships. Still, it is a wonderful blog, I’ll be following it.

Everyone had great traditions to share. I love the idea of saving money in a jar to give away, that is a new one for me. What fun it has been to visit each day and meet these creative women.
Oh what fun! Please include me – this is wonderful and inspiring.
thank you for sharing. merry christmas
I love reading about your holiday memories and traditions. Makes our own holiday happenings seem much more like traditions. :) Last year I made gingerbread houses with our dear friends and their two kids. Very messy, free-form, and great fun. Lovely memories–and perhaps the start of a tradition?
Wow, I can’t believe I just found out about this! This is amazing, thanks for sharing!
Wonderful traditions. Thank you for the giveaways.
These 12 days are showing that there are so many more amazingly creative women in the world than I ever realized.

Such inspiring ladies! Great giveaway!
I follow you on twitter
I voted for the Spring Cover
Thanks for the chance!! Beautiful!
It’s always fun to learn about others special traditions at the holidays. Two years ago we started having The 4 weeks of Christmas. We get together once a week in December and eat or go to a concert or movie or play a game of monopoly and at each meeting exchange a gift each. This was my idea to get to see more of my kids after they left me with an empty nest. Of course, the gift at each meeting, was the bait for the kids and we have had so much fun doing this. Thanks so much for the giveaway. ms.cheryl
Love it all! We too started the gingerbread house tradition this year, it was the first time ever for me too!

One of my favorite holiday traditions is going tubing at the local ski haunt that’s about an hour’s drive away…
I’ve been trying to catch up. What wonderful family ideas, and with 5 kids grown and one teen still at home, we stay busy trying to just get all of us together. I am giving homemade this, and keep getting inspired by this site.
The snow princess kit is adorable. I have so enjoyed visiting every site mentioned on here. So inspiring!
