This is the week’s only giveaway, and will be my last post until I post the HUGE Black Friday/ Cyber Monday list late tomorrow. So check back tomorrow night after you’ve had your fill of turkey and awoken from your food coma to start viewing all the sales…
But back to the giveaway…today’s giveaway is from Natalie Jost of Olive Manna, and it is a gigantic package of holiday packaging goodness. The winner will receive EVERYTHING you see in the photos (a wrapping paper set, handpainted red and green clothesline set, gift tag set, gift idea notebook, and two sets of blank greeting cards). Similar packs are available on Olive Manna in two color options: Berry Ice and Lime Candy. Retail value $49!
How do you enter the giveaway?
There are several ways to play and you may enter up to three times. First, visit Natalie’s shop, Olive Manna, and browse around for your favorites, then come back here and tell us which pieces you like most and why. Second way to play, answer this question in the comments: What are you looking forward to most this year during the holiday season (family coming in to town, seeing your children open their presents, holiday decorating, etc)? Third, twitter or blog about this giveaway or Olive Manna and leave a link in the comments here.
The giveaway will end on December 9th at 11:59 pm eastern time.

Wow! Thank you for introducing me to Olive Manna – I am loving the Harvest Collection, particularly the Harvest Leaves fabric in red and the Harvest Diamonds fabric in Orange. They take me back to my childhood spent at my grandparents camp in the Adirondacks. I can remember the bed linens being of similar design – and they were SO cozy!
Tiffany commented on November 25th, 2009 at 5:36 pmI am most looking forward to taking it back to the basics this holiday season. I had a rough go of things last year around this time, and I know I was so absorbed in my own life that I failed to spread even the smallest amount of holiday cheer. My family has been so incredibly kind and supportive to me throughout my trials, and this year I want to thank them by letting go of the past and focusing on the here and now. They deserve to celebrate and enjoy the holidays – and I am going to everything I can to make that happen for them!
Tiffany commented on November 25th, 2009 at 5:40 pmI love all the printables and the French Country Collection. Both are simple, classy and easy to use…all of my favorite things.
Ever year I look forward to my baking frenzy with my girlfriends. We mass produce baked goods to give away as holiday gifts. It’s a great time and we get a lot of holiday gifts done all at once!
Thanks for the entry!
Joanna commented on November 25th, 2009 at 6:05 pmSince I”m on the road, I’m going to elect the second way to play. I’m most looking forward to a break from law school and a month at home with my parents, niece, brother and sister-in-law, and my closest friends!
Melissa commented on November 25th, 2009 at 6:18 pmI really love the printed gift shipping tags, the sayings are so cute! thank you for this fun giveaway!
Casey commented on November 25th, 2009 at 7:10 pmthis year, I cannot wait for my son to rip open his presents! I love when a kid has that first year of really experiencing it
Casey commented on November 25th, 2009 at 7:11 pmGoodness! I love it all…I’m especially fond of the “Jute Box,” both because of the product and the packaging. Plus, I’m a sucker for a good play on words!
Victoria Terlap commented on November 25th, 2009 at 7:54 pmThe thing I am most looking forward to this year is hearing what everyone is most thankful for. Best. Thanksgiving. Tradition. Ever!
Victoria Terlap commented on November 25th, 2009 at 7:55 pmThis year for Christmas, we hope that my husband finally gets a job offer. He’s been unemployed since July and we’ve had to move in order to be closer to a bigger city for more opportunities. These little lovelies would be awesome to win!!!

has caused me to falter once again…awesome prints for a household with a two year or just for the kid in me
I love the “Shaking me” tags. I need one for every gift under the tree! The colored twine is also great, I can think of so many ways to use it…
Lorrie commented on November 25th, 2009 at 8:18 pmThis fabric is wonderful! http://olivemanna.com/shop/245-fabric.html
I’m looking forward to being with my family and spending more time with my friends. Since I live in the desert, I’m also looking forward to the trip home to find some snow, fireplaces, and hot chocolate.
Kimberly Creagan commented on November 25th, 2009 at 9:12 pmI love the Melamine Dishware / Checks & Balances / Black Checks. It is a sophisticated item that would be enjoyable when the weather gets warmer for and outdoor dining.
Maureen commented on November 25th, 2009 at 9:41 pmI am looking forward to my brother and his wife and two young children coming to the US. They live overseas and haven’t been back to the US in a year and a half. I have yet to meet their young son who just turned one.

jennifer commented on November 25th, 2009 at 10:12 pmAlways loved Olive Manna’s patterns and fabrics! And it’s nice that she has a section for ‘Downloads’ where we can print out our own labels and other such pretty things.
One of my favorite things from her store is this: http://olivemanna.com/shop/151-corner-bookmarks.html
Never seen any bookmark like it and it makes me not want to ever finish the book just so I can keep looking at it. hahaha
Hazel commented on November 25th, 2009 at 10:22 pmI like her MELAMINE PLATE – WINTER SCENE because I’m a sucker for anything featuring trees!
JulieSuzanne commented on November 25th, 2009 at 10:58 pmI just love crafting supplies and the “shaking me…” shipping tags really made me laugh!

merium commented on November 26th, 2009 at 2:20 amThis is the first year ever that my daughter and I will be just the 2 of us for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning~I am so looking forward to this special time together!
merium commented on November 26th, 2009 at 2:22 amWhat I am most looking forward to this year during the holiday season is… seeing my 4 years old nephew and his sister, just a few months old! They’re the best.
I’m also usually the one responsible for holiday decorating, and i gather my decorrations from nature. Each year is different that way !

Jacqui Mee a Bee commented on November 26th, 2009 at 8:21 pmI love everything but if I had to pick it would be the 10 blank notebooks, so pretty.

Emily commented on November 26th, 2009 at 11:29 pmI am most looking forward to actually hosting the holiday at my house this year! It’s going to be a small gathering but it will be cozy and festive with cute handmade decor and lots of cookies.
Emily commented on November 26th, 2009 at 11:31 pmChristmas will be special this year as my entire family will be together to celebrate Christ’s birth, family, giving and LOVE!
Kelley commented on November 26th, 2009 at 11:36 pmI love the Budgeteer in Amanda Lynne, Vines. I make my own lists like this on little scrap paper but how awesome to have something this cute!!!

StephMac commented on November 27th, 2009 at 12:37 amThis holiday season, I’m looking forward to decorating the house and visiting with all of my cousins (I have 26 of them).
Kristin B commented on November 27th, 2009 at 11:51 amWhat a great opportunity! I LOVE Natalie’s fabric- especially the Sun Soaking Pennants in green… it will probably be my next purchase from her shop.
MichelleD commented on November 27th, 2009 at 1:33 pmI am actually looking forward to a scaled-down holiday season and the focus turning from the material to what really matters… spending quality time with family and friends!
MichelleD commented on November 27th, 2009 at 1:38 pmI love the polka dot trees in berry and blues! So many wonderful things to choose from at Natalies shop! Hard to pick a fav but this is definitely one fav on my list.
Stacy commented on November 28th, 2009 at 1:34 amI think the one thing I’m most looking forward to is the joy and excitement I see in the kids at this time of year. We have taught them that Jesus is the reason for the season but they are just so darned excited about gifts and goodies and fun it’s awesome!
