WINNER! ...and some Christmas decorating

Congratulations to @ageorgiamomma (also known as Donna)!!! Your twitter entry was #3 on the list and random.org picked #3! So get in touch with Tambra (tlwolens@uab.edu or her fb page) asap so she can get you a scarf in the colors of your choosing.

The number 17 total includes everyone's tweets & facebook entries too, so that's why it doesn't match up with the # of comments.

Thanks to everyone who entered! I'll have to do this again sometime soon. It was fun! If anyone has anything that you make or sell or whatever that you would like to feature in a giveaway, let me know! :-)

To answer some questions that were asked in the comments:

• Tambra does sell the scarves - for $15 each. Pretty great deal! Her turn-around time is really quick and she will ship them to you or deliver them if you live in her area.
• Yes, she does make them in Auburn colors too (booo! jk)
• She makes them in ANY colors that you want, not just the ones that were shown in my post. So the possibilities are endless!
  

If you are still interested in getting one you can email Tambra at tlwolens@uab.edu or send her a message on Facebook (click here for her FB page)

Picking up where I left off posting before, the day after the Iron Bowl (the Saturday after Thanksgiving), Cullen and I went to get our Christmas tree and get our decorations up. In case I've never mentioned it before (ha!), I looove Christmas!! And having the sweet smell of a Christmas tree in our house and all kinds of little Christmas "happies" around just makes me all warm inside. So we always do it as soon as we can after Thanksgiving.

I always do the lights... we're kinda light nazis. We like a lot and we don't mess around. We also like a nice-sized tree. Something about a big ole, well-lit tree just makes me happy! Guess because that's what I was used to growing up. I'm standing on a chair in this pic.

Cullen does the ornaments, and he does a really good job. It takes me way too long to do the ornaments because I get too picky about which ones are where. But they look just great the way my hubby does them, so I'm glad he is willing!

We don't have a fire place, so we make do with this. We gotta have our stockings up somewhere!

And this is the wreath I made out of extra greenery that came off of our tree. Did you know that if you ask for the extra branches that they cut off the bottom, they'll give them to you free?? You can't really tell in this dark picture, but there are little pieces of silver sparkly garland mixed in. Makes me kind of think of shimmering snowflakes and adds a little sparkle!

I just love this time of year. And I love the feeling of Christmas at our home.
