Congrats to Scene of the Grime, winner of the $75 gift certificate to Show Off Arts!
[suggested theme: share a holiday gift or tip idea]
I finished Christmas shopping months ago….
Please don’t hate me.
I’m so thankful I was able to shop early this year! But let’s not talk about me. Do you still have shopping to do?
Here are my tips this year:
- Make it-here’s a great list of 30 little gifts you can make
- Don’t go in debt to buy gifts, be creative
- Draw family names, because it’s really about the giving, not getting
- Choose meaningful gifts- like something from Show Off Arts!
I seriously love this faith-based, mom-run art store! Who in your life wouldn’t love to get a gift like this?

Today, link up a post and you’ll be entered to win a $75 gift certificate to Show-Off Arts! Visit Show-Off Arts and leave a comment telling me what you love and you’ll get a second entry!
What works for you during this holiday season?





























Thanks for the link to the hand-made gifts ideas…and I’m glad you enforced “Not going into debt” very important!
P.S. I’m done with my holiday shopping too!
What a fun giveaway!! I really want the “I am Loved” canvas for my daughter’s room. How wonderful for her to read those words daily. Thanks!
Oooh – I LOVE the Row of Vases plaque and I love the way they applied the verse.
I would like to have the trhe be courageous painting. I soooooooooooo hope I win!
I’m ALMOST done shopping!!! Thanks to swagbucks I really saved a lot…….and I owe that to you Kristen!! you turned me on to SB late last year or early this year.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong with SB. I think I’ve earned $25 or $30 all year.
Oooh, I love the John 3:16 canvas!
I love the daisy canvas with Jer. 29:11
I like the House Plaque (Joshua: As for me and my house. . .)
I love the celebrate & coffee mug plaques. I also think the “as for me and my house” one would make a good gift for my brother who is getting married next year. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I like canvases so I love this tree and the orange heart canvas. Very pretty.
Pink clay daisy necklace for sure! My daughter would love it! Great giveaway, thanks!
I would love to have the Happy Camper canvas. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Thanks for hosting. I’m off to check out the 30 gifts to make. Thanks for the link.
Good for you for getting in done. When my kids were little I was able to do it months ahead. Now they are older and it’s not toys it’s things, and from day to day it might not even be the same thing. Anyways, we don’t buy a lot, so it’s not a big deal to work on it now. But I am not going lie, I miss those days.
Thanks for hosting this blog party!
Love the canvas tree!! I don’t have a blog, so can’t send you a linky. My WFMW is that our kids each get 3 gifts for Christmas, just like Jesus did. This cuts down on the material madness of the season & keeps our focus on Christ.
Love your blog!!
I would love the peace sign for my daughter, she would love it
Thanks for the holiday link-up.
Wow, such cute stuff! I love the Bless This Food and Road Trip canvases.
I like the Road Trip Magnetic notepad – so cute!
I am in love with the vase of flowers canvas! Gor-geous!
I love the row of vases canvas. Perfect time in my life to constantly be reminded not to conform to the world.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
You know what? I am a sucker for notepads! I’d be able to get myself and others some.
The clay necklaces are cute, too, and would be great gifts.
I adore Show Offs, ever since we saw them at Relevant! My favorite is the red one with the plate that says “God is good, God is great…” It would be perfect in my dining room.
I have been eyeing the tree canvas for awhile.
I would love to get the “I am Loved” canvas for my daughter’s room.
I’ve always loved the daisy canvas with Jer 29:11 on it.
Dr. Laura
Beautiful website! I like the Bless this Food Let’s Eat canvas.
I like the tree canvas.
Susan
I love the topiary canvas! I actually was going to paint that verse around my doorframe, but this sounds like a better idea. Everything in this shop is amazing. Thanks for the great link and giveaway opportunity.
I’d like the Celebrate Cupcake Notecards!
Hey Kristen…I know it’s funky title…but I really want to grab everyone’s attention and get them to hop on over and put some BIDS on my rubber stamp sale to benefit The Mercy House. I emailed you on Monday and didn’t hear back from you so just wanted to touch base with you since today is the last day for BIDs.
Fondly, Roberta
Thanks for hosting! I love the canvas! It’s too cute!
Oh Kristen, How I love the canvas with the row of vases and flowers and the scripture about not conforming to the world! I would love to give that to my 10 year old daughter for Christmas! Thanks for the opportunity!!
Blessings!
i love their john 3:16 globe/heart canvas. and i’m totally jealous that you are done your christmas shopping!
i never got to meet you at relevant, but i sat in on two of your seminars and was so appreciative of your wisdom. i’m also so excited to see how God is moving through the Mercy House!
I like the joy ride note cards
I love the mugs canvas! It is hard to choose because there are so many creative and cute ones. But, this would be totally cute in my kitchen…….thanks!
Oh my! She’s awesome! I loved everything that I saw, but the Vase of Flowers Canvas is especially lovely.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I actually just browsed their site this week! There are so many cute things, but I think I like the Bless this Food and the Joshua 1:9 one (like you posted) the most.
I don’t have a blog, so I hope I’m still eligible to enter once this way even w/o the link-up.
