The Gift Card Holder Challenge Deadline Has Come

-
It is here. December 1st. 
We are easing into the home stretch of the holiday season, and the deadline for submissions in the Easy Challenge for the Fantastic Five has arrived. I have showcased some of the creative entries here, started the holiday countdown with some here, realized this challenge was addictive to some people here, plead the 'gift cards are not always bad gifts' case with some here, and finish up today with the last few entries.

Like this cute stocking by Sunflower Studios. I love the polka dot texture on this one.

There is something about a sparkly flower that just says holiday! This card holder by Arte Di Blondi has a beautiful Christmas flower for the season.

Of course Christmas is not the only holiday, and Hanukkah was not forgotten with this Star of David Mini Hanukkah Stocking.

Two months of submissions, tons of creativity, and here we are at the end of the challenge. Five gift card holders will be chosen out of the 32 entries, all seen on this Pinterest wall. Monday's Fantastic Five will feature the winners for all the last minute online shoppers. 

Can you believe we are last minute shopping now? Happens so fast, but really, if you need a gift in a hurry, gift cards may just be the way to go! 

And you know, gift certificates from your favorite Zibbet shop will fit in any of these gift card holders as well. Easily printable, many sellers will mail you a certificate, and the gift of handmade can make this holiday truly special.

Hubby and I are trying to finish up our shopping this week, or at least most of it. 
Do you have a lot of shopping left to do?

    These are great. The first 2 are so sweet.

    Most my shopping is done. I do it all the time so I'm not flipping out at the end. Just a few things to get, but they're easy things to get.

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
