Today I went to work and made the thanksgiving dinner. I work in a group home. Most of my clients went out with family but one stayed behind. I normally don’t sit and eat with them because I’m typically working through my meal. Today because it was thanksving I sat and ate with him. It made me feel good that he didn’t have to eat alone. Whether he noticed it or not I felt it was important that he have someone. So I think that’s my favorite holiday moment.
Awesome giveaway! And thanks for posting ghese awesome deals!!!
What a great deal from Simon!
A favorite holiday memory of mine is from Chrostmas of 2016 when my husband and I surprised the family announcing our second baby on the way 😀 No one saw it coming … not even us til two weeks prior!
There are some unmissable deals been offered in craft stores in the USA, can not blame Crafter’s for getting a bargain or four. My favourite holiday moment has to be the first Christmas I had my children, they get so excited about boxes & paper, even more than gifts when they were tiny hehe. Thank you Jess for all the amazing inspiration you put together for us , here’s to much more success for you x.
Thank you for inspiring me to create all year long and for taking the time to post your beautiful creations. My favorite holiday memory is when all three of my children were walking and able to come down the stairs together to see what Santa had left them. I remember watching their face light up as they giggled all the way down.
Thanks for the chance! I love your blog!
My favorite holiday memory is several – the First Christmas
with each of my kids and especially the first Christmas with
my granddaughter. Loved being able to give them gifts
they would enjoy and help them grow in knowledge.
They are all grown on away and those days are over,
but I have fond memories of those days.

My favorite holiday memory was when I was about 7 or 8. My family had gone to Santa Barbara to spend the holiday with my grandparents in their old Victorian home. We stayed up to go to midnight mass, and when we returned from church, Santa had already been to the house! We stayed up to open some gifts before heading off to bed.
One of my favorite Holiday memories was my parents surprising my big brother with a 4 wheeler for Christmas after years of wanting one! He was so excited and so full of gratitude to them. I still remember his reaction and it’s been probably 30 years. That memory means extra much now as that big brother unexpectedly and suddenly left this life last year due to an undetected heart problem. Every year is an absolute gift to me now as being parents makes Christmas a million times better! 🙂
This is a very generous giveaway Jessica! You are so fun and wonderful to follow💕
My husband is a Christmas baby, so my favorite was when we spent his birthday in Florida. It was warm, and the first time it felt like a birthday more than a holiday… but we also were able to drive to a neighboring town that was lit up with fantastic Christmas decorations. So we were more able to do both that year.
So many great deals. I added a bunch to my Christmas wish list. My favorite memory is when I was younger we would go stay at my Aunt and Uncles with a ton of family. We would go to Midnight Mass which I loved. Singing and visiting was always so much fun. Then we would come back to the house to open presents and have a late night snack. In the morning all the kids would go outside to play. I miss having the big Christmas with all my cousins and aunts and uncles. But this Christmas I am going to get to spend with kids and grand kids and my mom for the first time in 4 years so I am really excited about that.
Thanks for the giveaway and taking time to share your favorites for the great sale!

Thanks for the great giveaway and all that good info
So generous of you Jessica! My favorite memories are crafting banners and decorations for our house with my two young children. They are so happy to participate and so proud to hang and show off their projects! Hugs((()))
My favorite holiday memory is when I had all four kids living at home and we used to go to the tree farm to cut our tree! It was always so much fun !
My favourite Holidays so far where two years ago when I was expecting my little one and everything seemed soooo magical 🙂 I would choose last year but we all got a stomach bug and Christmas did not look that great 😀
My favorite holiday memory is riding home from my grandparents house of Christmas Eve and watching the sky for Santa. Every flashing light in the sky was him; we were sure of it!
I just put in an order to Simon last night, not thinking… and woke up this morning to the Black Friday email in my inbox! 🤦🏽♀️ I’d love to get a gift card to erase some of my stupidity. 😁 I have been following you on IF for a while but never thought to follow you on YouTube, thanks for the push! I love your creations, keep up the good work!

Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful cards with us! I think it’s awesome that you’re donating to help displaced pets and wildlife due to the California fires! One of my favorite holiday memories is received a yearly Hallmark ornament from my aunt & uncle. They lived several states away so they sent an ornament to me and my sister every year as we were growing up. It was so fun to see what cute ornament they picked out, and my mom would take a picture of us holding our ornaments to send to my aunt & uncle as a thank you. 🙂
Thank you for all you do, Jess! My favorite memory is baking cookies with family and friends!
Thanks so much for being so generous and creative. The best memories for me at the holidays involve the cookie baking and decorating. Somehow this time is always filled with laughter and memories shared of other years and people. Nothing better than getting together.
I so love that you are supporting the animals in the terrible fires ❤️ my fondest memories are of baking Christmas cookies with my grandmother ❤️
My favorite holiday memories involve helping to decorate the tree as a kid. 🙂
