  2. Marry Christmas Pinky! I hope you and your family have an amazing holiday! One of my family traditions is to have spaghetti and meatballs for dinner on Christmas Eve. My family started it before I was born and I am continuing it with my children.

    Thanks for all of the giveaways and inspiration! I look forward in seeing all of your amazing creations for 2011!

  3. What a wonderful giveaway. Would love to win this. My family likes to open one gift on Christmas Eve (that can be played with, not new pajamas.) We then spend the evening snacking and playing.

    For our holidays we're mainly focusing on spending time together as a family. We have a couple of family parties also, but mostly just the 6 of us. Nice and cozy.

    Happy Holidays to you.

  14. Oh my this is so exciting =) Thanks for sharing the chance to win with us. I have re located from Canada to the states so I am starting new traditions. Something we do here is celebration on Christmas eve, we do presents and such (no kids in our small family) and then we have dinner. Christmas morning is breakfast and relax. Then family visits =) It is nice to unwind Christmas Eve night with my hubby =)

  16. Wow, Pinky! Both you and Provocraft are so generous. My holidays will be made of house hopping from one relative to another this year.

  42. Pinky, What a great giveaway!

    I'm a little lost right now... Usually by now I have watched White Christmas and Holiday Inn many many times.... This year I haven't been able to watch at all. :( This weeks project for me (if it snows) is to watch them over and over again.

    ReplyDelete
  43. thank you for the opportunity to win a gypsy. One favorite tradition is that my entire family (aunts/uncles/3 generations of cousins) get together at my grandmothers house for Christmas Eve. If everyone comes (which most do) there are about 85 of us. Crazy I know!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Thanks for the giveaway! I finally broke down and bought an expression this year and I'm glad I did!

    I love baking different cookies for Christmas. I've been struggling to find the time this year though so far.

  45. Wow! Thanks for the chance to win! I've been a follower for a little while now and I love checking your blog daily :)

    I love to look at your site, you fellow fiskateer.....lots of wonderful things. You are so FUN!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Leave it to you to think of saving one for Christmas! We never had children, but I love traditions. One that DH and I do is to have a chocolate countdown calendar every year. We usually have a countdown candle (from Current), but they didn't offer them this year and I didn't have any stashed :-(

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hi Pinky,
    Thanks so much for a chance at winning a gypsy!!!
    I always love coming to your blog to check out all of your craftiness!!! I said it before and I will say it again, you are one talented crafty chick!!! I wish you more and more great things!!! I don't always get a chance to comment as my two lil ones pull me away before I get the chance but I wanted to say that I love love love the cupcake ornaments that you made and how you dressed up the cupcake tin!!! I love it!!! And hanging Christmas ornaments from the ceiling how cool is that!!! Thanks so much for sharing a lil piece of your world!!! I truly love reading about it!!! My favorite christmas memory is believing in all the magic from getting together with family and friends on Christmas Eve, midnight mass and all of the beautiful music, to Santa leaving our stockings at the end of the bed so that when we woke up at five in the morning ready to open presents we could open our stockings and hopefully tide us over for awhile! My parents tried to keep it magical for me(from family and friends, to God, and Santa) and I am truly grateful for all of that!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours from Me and Mine!!!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Thanks for the chance to win a gypsy!! My girls are older so we have had to start new traditions, but my favorite thing about the holidays is being with all of my family!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hi Pinky! I love following your blog and seeing what you have to post. You're definitely a crafty inspiration. My favorite part about the holidays is seeing my little girl's face when she opens up her gifts...nothing better than your child's happiness on Christmas day! Thanks so much for the opportunity to win, I would love a Gypsy since I'm getting the Expression for Christmas.

    ReplyDelete
  52. What a sweet give away. I have seen these, but yet to try one out.

    My traditions are that we get together with family for a big pot luck meal. And everyday after Christmas we go and visit each of hubby and my siblings.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Christmas is my favorite holiday. This weekend we will be finishing decorating our tree rockin' out to the Glee Christmas soundtrack :) This year we aren't going anywhere or having any family come to us so it is going to be very relaxing and stress free.

    Happy Holidays Pinky, I am so glad to have found your blog!

    ReplyDelete
  54. We would like to go visit my sisters but seriously with the weather the way it usually is around here I don't see it happening... so I guess we will open presents together using SKYPE... LOL!!!

  56. I do follow and I'm so glad. thanks for a chance at this wonderful crafting gift. Would be perfect under my tree!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I do follow you and have truly enjoyed all your ideas. Now I would love to give this to a friend who has had a bad year, so I would have you ship it to her and surprise her. She has helped so many people in just knowing her. Thanks for the opportunity to try for this.
    Merry Christmas Pinky!!!

  61. Thank you for your generousity, Pinky! We are going to have a small Christmas with just a few family this year, but in our hearts it will be big! Love celebrating JC's birthday! Hope that you and your family have a beautiful holiday season!

    ReplyDelete
  62. What a wonderful opportunity!

    Christmas is by far my favorite time of year, we start off with my sister and I exchanging one present-a tradition started when we were little and too impatient to wait for Christmas morning! Then the magic of the Christmas Eve candlelight service, followed by the potluck dinner at my grandparents. Then Christmas morning diving into those stockings with the family, and gathering in the living room to open presents. Topped off by a wonderful breakfast of monkey bread, scrambled eggs and ham. Such a wonderful wonderful time of the year!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Oh my gosh Pinky, what an awesome giveaway! Big snowstorm today so I'm doing my Xmas baking. It's my favorite time of the year when all of the family can get together. Thanks so much for the chance to win the gypsy!! Hope your Christmas is wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Thanks for the chance to win. You are so generous. Since the passing of my grandmother, and so much family moving away we don't have many tradtions anymore, which is sad :(.
    Thanks again for such a great giveaway, crossing my fingers. :)

  65. Thanks for the chance at a great giveaway.
    The holidays aren't complete for me until I get to eat some of my mom's divinity. She told me on the phone last night that it will be in the mail on Monday ;)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Wow Pinky! That is an amazing giveaway. I have been seeing lots of people using them but just can't afford it right now. Thanks for the opportunity to win one. My favorite thing about Christmas is that no matter how much you have spent on gifts and such, there is nothing like being all together with your family. Money has been tight this year so I have been resourceful and am making everyone's gifts. I think it will be the best Christmas yet. ;0) Thanks again. Have a very blessed holiday season.

  71. How very generous. I don't have a cricut but I have friends that do and surprising them with one of these would be great.
    My holidays tend to be relaxing..we spend the 24th at a neighbours, the 25th with family and the 26th staying home. I make my kids whatever they want for breakfast on Christmas morning, doesn't matter if I am making 5 (including DH and myself) different ones, you get what you want. That is something my mom started with my brother and I when we were little and it just helps me to remember her more.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Wow, I was just browsing the Scrapbook dot com site, wondering if people think it is worth it to get the gypsy and saw this, maybe I can win it instead of buying it!!!

  73. Thanks for the chance to win a Gypsy, I've been eying one since they came out! Hubby told me I have to wait a while before I can get one :( Love your blog!

  80. My husband's family are Christmas nuts (who isn't?). There's a brunch the Sunday before Christmas, a party Christmas Eve, and then gifts on Christmas morning. When I say gifts that's not only the ones under our respective trees but the ones 'Grandma Claus' gets for everyone. Did I mention my hubbie is one of six kids, all have spouses, and there's ten grandkids? Did I also mention she's a little crazy? We love her anyway. It's nice to gather around their tree and watch the kids rip through their presents. Then the adults go one at a time opening theirs. It takes hours but we're all together and that's what really matters.

    ReplyDelete
  81. What an amazing give away Pinky. Girld, do you rock or what! My favorite thing about the Christmas season is snuggling up with my kiddos and watching Christmas movies by the tree lights!! White Christams is my favorite as it reminds me of my grandparents and all the wonderful Christmases we shared together. Boy do I miss them! Anyways, I hope that you and yours have a very blessed christmas this year! Thanks for the chance to win!

  82. What a great giveaway. The gypsy is the 1st thing on my xmas list..I want one.. The thing I love most about the holidays is decorating our house. I also love being around family and eating great good. My mom was thought by my grandma to make this great ham. I look forward to eating it all year.. Merry Christmas.. thanks for a great giveaway..

  93. Thank you so much for the chance to win this awesome prize. I love your blog! This holiday is going to be great because this year my son will be able to participate more than he was able to last year (he was 2 months old last Christmas). We are also hosting at our house this year. I haven't put up a tree the last two years because we were out of town for the holidays so it didn't make much sense to decorate when we weren't going to be here anyway. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends!

  94. I have just finished up 2.5 years of schooling so am planning on spending time with my kids and doing some scrapping over the holidays. A gypsy would certainly come in handy.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I would so much love to win this gypsy so I could gift it to my best friend for Christmas. She has had such a trying year and the holidays are lean so we are celebrating with gifting of ourselves but how wonderful it would be to deliver this to Pam.
    So sweet of you to share your good fortune with others.

  96. Happy Holidays to you and your family too! I'm looking forward to having all of my extended family together at one time for Christmas! Thanks for sharing a great present with us!

  97. This is such an awesome giveaway. Thanks for the chance. I just love Christmas, first for the true meaning of it, the birth of our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST and second for the Family time we get to spend with each other.

  98. I would love love love to win the gypsy, but then I'm not one of the lucky people...But I've got my fingers crossed, my birthday is the 17th. I try to make Christmas special for my family and friends. I love watching them all open their gifts. I just hate when it's over.
    Merry Merry Christmas.

  99. You are always having such generous giveaways! Thank you so much for another!

    Today was the Santa Breakfast at our boys school and we were in charge of planning it, setting it up and working it. My youngest (Tanner 6) wasn't acting himself this morning...we aren't used to him being still and quiet. Unfortunately...it was because he wasn't feeling well. I don't think that throw up was on the pancake breakfast menu! I felt so bad for him...he didn't get to sit on Santas lap or make any of the crafts, or even try one little chocolate chip pancake. Mommy will have to be making this up to him.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful and healthy holiday!!!

  104. Pinky what a wonderful gesture and so in the spirit of Christmas. This holiday will be the first without my brother and my son ships out the next day to Quatar. So for those of you with family close by give them extra special hugs this year. Happy Holidays to everyone!!

  118. Thanks for the opportunity to win!!

    Christmas is my favorite time of the year for SO many reasons!! To celebrate the Lord, to celebrate family, I love to give, but I also love to receive :) I LOVE snow...I love cutting down a tree and taking it home and listening to hubby complain that it's crooked, or has a big hole on one side. The memories :)

    ReplyDelete
  119. Merry Christmas!! I am thankful for my family this Christmas. We won't be celebrating Christmas with gifts due to my DH unemployment of 3 yrs now. But we had a tough year with an unexpected loss in our immediate family & it's been hard to deal with. But I am thankful for CHRISTmas in my life.

    Thanks for the chance to win the Gypsy!! ON my wishlist!!

  123. Thanks for the chance to win a gypsy, that is so nice to share your joy with others! Our Christmas tradition is pretty simple, but I think that is what makes it special. My family likes to wake up on Christmas morning and open presents after breakfast. Then we call our other family and friends and "Thank" them for all the goodies we just received.

  124. Pinky you are AMAZING. These companies that you design for and have give aways is because you do incredible work and inspire hundreds with your designs. I am so glad I found your blog and I read it everyday to see what you are up too. THANK YOU for being you!! I love the holidays and with little children it is so exciting to watch their little faces light up over the simplest things. My two year old loves Angels and the Christmas tree. It has to be turned on as soon as she gets up and we cant turn it off until she is in bed. Thanks for the chance to win such a wonderful present a Gypsy!

  125. Hey Pinky!

  127. Today is my favorite holiday event...my parents' ornament swap. It started out as a normal Yankee swap type thing, with beautiful ornaments, and now it is hilariously a contest to see who can find the gaudiest, most hideous ornament. It's a riot, and I can't wait! Thanks for the chance to win!

  139. I am looking forward to Christmas year this morning as if I were a child again for the first time in years! Over the years it lost it's magic somewhat for me and I've been trying to recapture that. This year will be the first year my twin girls - 14 mths old on the 20th - will be able to get in on the festivities! I cannot wait to start mannny christmas traditions with them. I love the idea of decorating the ceiling, especially with the ornaments. I used to hang lighted garland up like that around the top of the walls but I never have any help decorating - so this year it's just a tree and stockings so far =(

  146. Cristal from my heart to you this Christmas I want to tell you what a wonderful generous person you are. Your generousity has made scrappers smile all year. That brings me to traditions at my home for Christmas. Each year my family always gives to families or organizations before we buy the first gift for us. This year I didnt know how I was going to purchase anything cause my sister and mom have had financial problems that couldn't be helped. My uncle sent me a check out of the blue and my dad's legacy of giving was once again spread to the Hope House for homeless women and their children. God is so good. WE ALL should not forget the true meaning of Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and yours from my family.

  147. I would really love to win a Gypsy, but I'll be happy for whoever wins! I drive a lot, first to my daughter's then back to my son's. Unlike when I was little and we went to my grandmother's and when my children were young and we always went to my parents'. Things change. Have a wonderful Christmas!

We started a tradition 2 years ago we call The 4 weeks of Christmas. We get together each week and exchange a gift at either a movie, concert or out to eat. The monopoly game is one of those weeks. thanks, ms.cheryl

  168. This would be an awesome prize to win! This is the first year my hubby and I aren't going to either families for the holidays. We're going to stay put and since it's just the two of us, we decided to open up our house to people who don't have relatives nearby, for a potluck Christmas day with games and Christmas movies to play. Most of my friends, like us, don't have kids and live far from there families so I thought that would be a nice idea. :o)
    Thanks for the giveaway and hope you have tons of fun scheduled for your holiday!

  169. I just discovered your blog and all I can say is WOW! You are such an inspiration! One of our family traditions is to have a finger food fest on Christmas Eve. My children are a little older now but they always look forward to this. We usually watch a Christmas movie and just picnic on the floor.

    I enjoy Christmas giving but with times being tough I have always got to be creative with gifts.Baking is my way to let people know I am thinking of them and want to share a little treat.
    My favorite platter to deliver is to our local fire station- they always return the platter in hopes of getting more!
    A happy holiday to you sweetie.

    I have experienced the true spirit of Christmas just today. A crafty friend of mine (Amy Harper, Perfectly Unperfect Cards) who I only know via blogging and facebook won an Expression today and she is crafting it forward and gifting it to me. She is so sweet to share her good luck/fortune with me. I feel so blessed to have become a part of this huge crafting community. I do honestly feel like we are a family.

  194. As a Marine Corps family stationed 1000 miles away from our family, we look forward to Christmas leave as a time to travel north and visit with our loved ones finally.

  197. Thanks for the opportunity to win a gypsy. One of our strange Xmas customs is we always have Pork Pie & Chutney for breakfast on Christmas morning, my grandparents started the practice over nearly 60 years ago and I still do it and have passed it onto my grown up daughter. I have no idea how it started and sadly my Grandparents have passed so I can't find out, as my mum never asked either!
