What is this giveaway? It is a gorgeous box that will be finished off and sent to one of my regulars. I have not decided on the design I will be stitching yet for the box, or how I want to finish the inside....it may be finished off with just a stain on the inside and packed with other cross stitching goodies, or I may line the inside. The outside TOP of the box WILL have a stitched piece :)
Ok-here we go-my birthday is February 18th. I will draw a name on my birthday (this allows me plenty of time to make some finishing decisions AND allows for me to be with my mom after her surgery to remove the cancer on the 5th of January). I will have this box stitched, finished and packed and ready to send to the name drawn. If you are a regular and would like to have a chance to win the stitchers box-leave a comment on THIS POST ONLY. I will select the name on my birthday. This post will close soon!!
No stitching pics to share as we have been spending much time with our families these past few days. I did pull an ornament to work-hopefully soon :) BUT, I wouldn't change a thing about spending time with those we love :) We are pretty busy for the next week with our families and friends and I couldn't think of a better way to spend time :)
Thank you dear Edgar for the goodies....YUMMY! My family says so too...yes, I shared :)
Just in case I don't get back with a post before Christmas.... Merry Christmas dear friends. I hope it will be a Blessed Christmas for you all.
I can't thank you all enough for the love you have shown to me and my family this year. It has been a year that will not be forgotten and I sincerely hope not repeated. Life has made us much stronger this year and even closer as a family (which I didn't think was possible as we were VERY close prior to the events of 2011) Some of you have gone above and beyond being an online friend and I can't thank you enough for that. We have a strong church family which has been such a blessing to us-but I NEVER forget the blessings that abound from some of you. My heartfelt thanks goes out to you.
hugs and love from SC :)

Becky your beautiful stitching and the faith you have shown through such a hard year have been an inspiration to many of us! God bless, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours.
I don't really count myself as a regular yet, having only really just started making good of my resolution to start commenting regularly. I wouldn't want you to be posting such a large box all the way to New Zealand either, so please count me out of this one! I'm really looking forward to seeing the stitch and finish though
Blessings,
Sarah xx
Wow, what a lovely box! I don't post regularly, but I do read regularly. Have a merry Christmas and take care!
That box is amazing! Where did you find it? Thanks for all the creative ideas for projects and finishing this year.
I'm sure you will be glad to say goodbye to 2011 and hello to a new year.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
What a stunning box!! I started to drool the second I saw the picture! A blank slate like that .. so many possibilities!
I love reading your blog. I rarely post comments - I'm more of a lurker. Thank you for showcasing the beauty in this craft.
Becky
I follow your blog for a long time.
I love all your work
My son's birthday the same day as you.

Oh Becky whilst I would love to be included in your draw I am in the UK so don't think the postage charges will allow. Someone I am sure will be extremely lucky to own a piece stitched by you.
I just wanted to wish you and your family a wonderful christmas and send you all good wishes for the New Year. Please know I will be thinking of your Mom and you early in the New Year.
Much love to you all xx
Have a safe and happy Christmas with your family, and time to recover from a tumultuous year. Do not enter me in the giveaway, I just wished to send Christmas blessings to you.

Dear Becky,
first of all I wish you everything goes ok with your mum's surgery. I will keep her and you in my thoughts.
As I can see the box is rather big to post abroad although I would love it, I can understand I can't be the lucky one. Maybe in future! Till then Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Love Ariadne
Oh Becky... This is gorgeous... and whom ever wins this will have a lifetime treasure from you! Thank you for being such an inspiration to us with you RAK and kindness... and doing for others. Thank you for the support that you give us just allowing us to be a part of your life. I have prayed for you this entire year. You and your family have been on my heart!
Please do place my name in the har for this one. You share the same birth date as my Son... maybe that will bring me luck! I am usually not a lucky person... but there is a connection to him... so MAYBE!!!! ;)
Thank you so much for everything... and I hope that you and your family has a wonderful Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and yours dear friend! May God's blessings extend well beyond the holiday season and here's to hoping 2012 is good.
With great big hugs!
I am a very regular follower, but I probably don't comment as much as I should. (I think many of us are guilty of that!) Still, I would be more than honored if I could be included in your giveaway.
I have you have a wonderful and very Merry Christmas. We all deserve a little happiness and wonder this season.
I am also anticipating the reveal of your finishing of the box.
Merry Christmas to you and all of your family and friends.
Dear Becky, I wish you and your family the merriest Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year. Your mother will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I would love to be included in your giveaway - what a treasure this will be.
I know you will have a bazillion people sign up for this awesome giveaway, but I'm going to try, too. Ya can't win if you don't play, right? :)
I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and pray that 2012 will be much better for all of you. I am still praying for your mom and will continue to do so.
Have a lovely holiday, Becky!
Wow Becky you are going to go out with a bang or start 2012 with a bang I am not sure which. Glad you came back so strong in 2011 and I love your finishes. Don't always post but I read every one so keep up the great work and take care of you Mom.
Oh yes please include me in the drawing.
Happy Holiday

Ellen S
Dear Becky!This year has been very hard for You, but I believe that the Lord sends us trials are not in vain. I congratulate You with merry Christmas and I wish You and Your mother and all the family health and fulfillment of all desires and hopes!!!
PS : I'd like to get a surprise, but is it possible to send it in Russia?
Embrace Your family, with the love of Elena.
Thanks, Becky, for all the lovely things you do for your blog readers and friends. I'd love to be included in this final drawing. May all your family feel the peace and love that means Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and your family! And a happy and healthy New Year!
Thank you for sharing with us your passion for x-stitch. I learn so much from you :-))
Please enter me into your draw. It's so generous!
Best wishes,
Irina
What a wonderful gift! You are so generous and I, like everyone else, would love to win.
I hope that you and your family are blessed with peace during this season. Life does bring its
own challenges doesn't it? Tell your mom to keep hope alive. Cancer does not mean a death sentence. I probably told you this before, but my friend had a 1% chance of survival for breast cancer and lived another 10+ years. My husband is also 7 years cancer free. Hope you have strength during this trial.
Hugs.
Peggy
I'm sure whatever you do with the box will be awesome! 2-18 was my grandmothers birthday - great dat. :)
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and hope your mother's surgery goes well.
You are so generous, Becky! Wishing you and your family a happy, peaceful Christmas and all the best to your mom on her upcoming surgery.
Debra in NC
Merry Christmas to you & your family Becky!

Please include me for a chance at this giveaway. I will continue to pray for your mom. Blessings, Shirlee
Hi Becky,
First of all, I DO send good thoughts to both your Mom and you. Scary business, that, but we'll all pray that the good Lord is smiling down on you.
Second, did you or your hubby make that box? It's really lovely as is, so I can just imagine what it will look like after you are done working your magic on it :>) ! Can't wait to see photos of it. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your give-away.
Third, I want to thank you for every moment of pure pleasure you have provided me with since discovering your blog. I can't tell you how much I enjoy looking at your work.
Last, but not least, I wish you, and all of your loved-ones, the merriest of Christmases and a HEALTHY and happy new year.
-Sherry-
Family time is important, especially this time of year. All the years I was geographically separated from my family, Christmas was the one time each year I'd make a point of getting home. I hope you and your family have a merry and bright holiday time, and health in the new year.
Its been a lot of fun seeing people post about the surprises you've sent out. This new box looks like it will be very special.
Becky,
I've been reading your blog for a while now, but don't post very often. Usually I'm days and days behind on reading and I have so many that there aren't always enough hours in the day.
But I LOVE reading your blog and seeing the marvelous work that you do.
I try to keep you and your family in my prayers as well. I've had my share of rough years and know they are not fun, but God never promised us that life would be easy, just that he'd be with us. And it sounds like you're doing exactly what you should be doing, spending quality time with those you love.
While being entered in your give away would be nice, I will continue to enjoy all the fun and creative things you share with us!
I would like you wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and I hope that 2012 is a better year for you than 2011. I am praying for your Mum, I hope that she has a quick recovery from her surgery and that it is successful. Take care Becky.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. And sending good thoughts and prayers for your mom. I hope that the coming year brings much peace and joy to all of you.
I would love a chance to be entered in your giveaway. Thanks for always being so generous. Sharing your stitching really is a gift to all of us who follow your blog.
Thanks Becky!
Becky, you have such a generous spirit. It seems like you are always giving away your wonderful stitched item. I would love to be entered in this giveaway. I pray God will give you a blessed Christmas, and that the memories you make will be wonderfully special ones.
Becky ~ I enjoy reading your blog and your finishes are just great. You have been in my prayers this year with all you have gone through. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and your Mom's surgery goes well.
Such a gorgeous box, Becky--I can't wait to see what you do with it. No need to enter me in your giveaway--I have already received a wonderful package of charts from you which is more than enough!!
I will certainly be thinking of your mom in January--and I hope 2012 brings nothing but good things to your family :)
Your generosity & creativity never cease to amaze me :) Even under such stressful conditions this past year, you continue to give to your readers.
Blessings to you & your family this Christmas season!
Denise
What a generous heart you have. I'm sure that box will be just stunning when you are finished with it.
