This year I did a good deal of my holiday shopping on Etsy, I love Etsy, it’s a wonderful way for crafters to sell their wares. Have you checked out this site yet? You really should, you can find just about anything you’d like on here.
There’s a handmade gift out there for everyone on your list. There’s such a wide variety of unique items, I can’t even begin to list my favorite sellers. Sorry for the infomercial here, but I am a proud Etsy shop owner, and an addicted Etsy shopper.

But while looking for ornaments on Etsy I stumbled upon Jeneene, who makes handmade, personalized wooden ornaments. And the discovery of her shop was like a trip down memory lane. You see, for years a friend of our family has bought ornaments for me and my siblings each year for Christmas. And when I was a very little girl she had bought two ornaments for me that were made by Jeneene. Imagine my surprise to find the creator of these treasured ornaments on Etsy! So I of course made a purchase. And asked her if she would like to do a giveaway on the blog ~ because I love her ornaments so, and I know my readers will love them too! So this week’s giveaway is an ornament of your choosing from Jeneene’s wide selection of hand-crafted wooden ornaments on Etsy. I really think you are going to love Jeneene‘s work. She has been making ornaments since 1975 and she has made hundreds of different designs! So even if you don’t win this one, you might find something in her shop for those special people on your holiday shopping list! And as long as you order by December 17th you should get your ornaments before Christmas!
