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.

I’ve loved Natalie’s site for a long time and found your blog through her! Cheers to both of you for a beautiful job. Love it!
Stacy commented on November 28th, 2009 at 1:49 amWell, I am currently “fun-employed” so I am looking forward to using my extra free time to make creative, crafty holiday presents for everyone. (a must since…you know….fun-employment doesn’t pay very well…)
Brandi commented on November 28th, 2009 at 2:27 pmBeautiful!
Rachel Dallaire commented on November 28th, 2009 at 5:44 pmThat prize pack is amazing!!
I love the Olive Manna fabrics – especially the Polka Trees http://olivemanna.com/shop/245-fabric.html So cute!
LisaB commented on November 28th, 2009 at 10:24 pmThis Christmas I’m looking forward to the break from work and a chance to do some holiday crafting – I’ve got some ideas for homemade gifts that I’m excited about!
LisaB commented on November 28th, 2009 at 10:25 pmOh, I just love the entire shop. My fave things are the wrap around address labels because I’m constantly looking for cute ones to use and they’re hard to come by. Natalie’s are perfect.
Melanie commented on November 28th, 2009 at 11:44 pmThis holiday season I’m most looking forward to my husband’s finals being over and just being able to relax with him.
Melanie commented on November 28th, 2009 at 11:45 pmI posted about this shop (because it really is my fave) here: http://www.youaremyfave.com/2009/11/olive-manna-is-my-fave.html
Melanie commented on November 28th, 2009 at 11:46 pmI love the blue spoon fabric – I think it would make the cutest apron!
Paige commented on November 28th, 2009 at 11:53 pmWhat I am looking forward to most:
Spending Christmas in Colorado and hopefully having a white Christmas. I live in Phoenix, so a white Christmas is not something I’ve seen in a very long time!
Paige commented on November 28th, 2009 at 11:54 pmI have admired Olive Manna for sooo long! I LOVE the melamine dishware – especially the Sun Soaking / Doily, Lemon one! Perfect for summer BBQs! I also am fawning over all the paper goods!
Margarita commented on November 29th, 2009 at 12:44 pmI love the Berry Ice/Polka Tree fabric on Olive Manna! This Christmas, I think I am most looking forward to attending my best friend’s birthday party. It’s a surprise party and as I’m flying in for the event, she’ll be REALLY surprised to see me there!!!
Sarah commented on November 29th, 2009 at 3:35 pmI like the colorful Hand-Painted Clothespin Clips / Blue + Fuschia, both favorite colors of mine and sure to add a splash to my decor!
Michele P. commented on November 29th, 2009 at 6:41 pmI am looking forward to spending time with my mom-it will be a difficult holiday since my dad and grandmother both passed away this past year-but the kids and I and my mom will make it through just fine with a great meal and presents. My hubby is supposed to go to Guatemala to visit his siblings and parents as well, it’s been years since he’s been there for a holiday celebration so while I will be missing him we’ll be in touch by phone.

Michele P. commented on November 29th, 2009 at 6:45 pmI love the Personalized “hello my name is ” Journal~ sweet!
Nicole commented on November 29th, 2009 at 10:14 pmThe thing I am looking forward to the most is helping my son understand the true meaning of Christmas.
april commented on November 30th, 2009 at 11:06 amThe shopping list booklets are so cute, I think the vines cover is my favorite
Natalie commented on November 30th, 2009 at 2:10 pmThe gift tags that say “Shaking me won’t tell you anything” literally made me bust out laughing! I found my bf shaking his presents yesterday. I soooo need this!
Katie B. commented on November 30th, 2009 at 3:05 pmMy favorite Olive Manna product right now is the pink fire paper set. The designs are all so cute! and the color scheme inspires not only decor-wise but even fashion-wise.
Lilia commented on November 30th, 2009 at 3:15 pmOhhh! I love Olive Manna’s Amanda Lynne Vines fabric! (It too me a while to settle on just 1 favorite
) And as for what I am looking forward to this year? Well, as a single mom of 3, gifts can be difficult…but my kids got the bestest gift…they get to go with their grandparents to Hawaii! I could never afford to take them on a fancy vacation, let alone Hawaii, so I am excited that they get to experience travel (and they won’t have to deal with ice and snow for their entire winter break! 
) Thanks for the chance to win!
Carlee commented on December 1st, 2009 at 2:33 amI’m particularly impressed with the product photos! Everything is so beautifully shot making them irresistible! My favourite has to be the bauble kits… anything to get the children involved!
Lolley commented on December 1st, 2009 at 9:12 amSuch fabulous work! My favorite item has to be the Little Neighborhood print, I love it!
Anna Ruby commented on December 1st, 2009 at 9:21 amOh my gosh! I need to win this one, thanks for the fabulous giveaway!
Julie commented on December 1st, 2009 at 9:29 amI love the “Paisley Note Cards”. I’m a sucker for paisley and love pink, so that’s my choice.
Thanks!
My favorite part of the holidays-and what I look forward to most-is having my children home! My youngest will be home from college, my newly engaged son and his future bride will be here and my daughter and her boyfriend as well. It has become more fun as the years go by as our family grows!
Susan Mulder commented on December 1st, 2009 at 9:30 amThis holiday season I’m most looking forward to knowing that my husband will be home for theh holidays. Since he is in the cdn air force, we never really know if he’ll be home for Christmas until the last minute. So to know he’ll be here is a wonderful treat!
Julie commented on December 1st, 2009 at 9:30 amlove the “shaking me won’t tell you anything.” tag!! so cute!! =D
Lisa commented on December 1st, 2009 at 9:31 ami am looking forward to spending time with my family! i am engaged this year so it makes things extra special. plus i have twin nieces now, and they add a lot of fun to the bunch!

I like the DIY Paper Ball ornaments – they are simple and charming. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Elena commented on December 1st, 2009 at 10:06 amWhat beautiful styling and photography. I really like the cute little gift tag labels “do not open unless your name is…” and “this lovely package is especially for you”. So sweet. And also, the little bag that the teeny wooden pegs come in – I love the stamping on.
Ellie - Petalplum commented on December 1st, 2009 at 10:08 amI love Mini Clothespin Clips….

dana commented on December 1st, 2009 at 10:44 amWhat a talented designer! I love all of the wrapping paper, but this one is my favorite:
Freshie commented on December 1st, 2009 at 10:45 amhttp://olivemanna.com/shop/197-wap-sheets.html
Awesome giveaway. I love everything that she does and love the patterns.
My favorite part of the holiday is trying to dress up the house with Christmas stuff. It feels really cozy and home-y for some reason.
thanks for doing this
- Julia
julia commented on December 1st, 2009 at 10:55 amI dont know how to pick a favorite . . . so, my favorite wrapping paper is Peppermint Drops, Multi!!
Cat commented on December 1st, 2009 at 11:15 amWhat I am looking forward to most this year during the holiday season is a really hard question. I am pretty sure I wont be able to go home this year, which makes it a pretty sad Christmas. So . . . I guess I am looking forward to decorating and cooking.

Marieke, MadeByMo commented on December 1st, 2009 at 11:32 amWhat I am looking forward to the most this holiday season is celebrating it “our” way with my new fiancé. Since we are very newly engaged and saving the the wedding ourselves, money is a little tight.
We’ve decided to forgo gifts this year and make our celebration about our love and happiness. Who could ask for a better gift than spending time with the one you love!?!
Beth Ann Jaworski commented on December 1st, 2009 at 11:40 amI have to go with entry option two
I’m most looking forward to the way the pace of everything slows down over the 2 weeks of christmas and new years, so I can actually spend *time* with friends and family without worrying about the massive to-do list piling up.
nora commented on December 1st, 2009 at 11:41 amI’m looking forward to giving my friends and family their presents! I love picking out just the right thing for everyone on my list each year, and this year I’m going to have more time to do home made gifts than I had expected. I hope everyone loves what I have for them!

- and snow!
So glad to see this great online shop! My favorite collection is the lime candy shown in the giveaway. What fabulous designs and colors!
Polly commented on December 1st, 2009 at 12:41 pmI love the paisley note cards. Too often we forget that little sentiments really matter to people and I love to send out pretty notes like the paisleys to people I love!
I’m looking forward to this holiday season the most because it’s my first one with my boyfriend and I’m excited to see what’s in store!

Judith commented on December 1st, 2009 at 12:53 pmI really like the Tree Leaves Blank Note Cards in red. I think the design is really cute and I like that they’re blank so you can use them for everyday. I also like the Paisley Aqua Pink blank note cards. I’ve always liked paisley, but I was attracted to these because of the color combination.
