P.S. Sorry for the messy post, Blogger is acting up this morning and will not let me make it any better than this :(
Bonjour! Aujourd'hui, j'offre un petit prix à gagner dans le cadre du Giveaway Day de Sew Mama Sew. C'est une décoration pour l'arbre de Noël, que j'ai brodée à la main. J'en ai fait quelques-uns cette année pour ma boutique, et aussi pour notre arbre à la maison.
Voici les règlements très simples pour participer au concours:
1. Pour une participation, il suffit de me laisser un commentaire en me disant quelle est votre décoration favorite dans votre sapin de Noël. Ça peut être une décoration que vous avez hérité de votre grand-mère, un bricolage que vous ou votre enfant a fabriqué, ou une trouvaille vintage dont vous êtes fière. Je suis juste curieuse de savoir ce que les autres aiment accrocher dans leur arbre de Noël.
2. Le concours est ouvert à tous et à toutes, je serai heureuse de faire un gagnant ou une gagnante dans n'importe quel pays.
3. Le concours est ouvert jusqu'au 7 décembre, et le gagnant ou la gagnante sera annoncé pendant le week-end. Assurez-vous que j'ai un moyen de vous rejoindre, sinon vous serez disqualifié.
4. Le gagnant sera déterminé par un tirage.
Meilleure chance à tous et à toutes!
Sylvie
P.S. Désolée pour la mauvaise mise en page, Blogger ne coopère pas ce matin, et c'est tout ce qu'il m'a permis de faire :(
My favorite ornaments are those that are hand made by my children. The second favorite ones are the ones I use to put on the tree as a kid that my mother gave to me when I started to have kids. They bring back great memories.
ReplyDeleteI have two types of ornaments. The handmade ones, try to make something different each year, and the ones i collect in my trips to foreign countries!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity on a great draw. Love the ornament. My favourite one(s) are the ones my children made for me when they were young.

This is my second christmas being married so we are slowly collecting ornaments for our tree. I have to say I like the ones we get on vacations and from loved ones for special occasions.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ornament is a felt snowman that a friend of my grandma's made, one for each of my mom's brothers and sisters. Hers has on an orange hat.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ornament in my tree is one that my son made. He dipped his hand in white paint, then held a plain ornament in his hand. He decorated all the white impression his fingers made, to look like snowmen. It's adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteMine would have to be the ones I have being given
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely ornament! My tree has a lot of red balls, and handmade. I don't have a favourite, but because I collected them over many years I have fun remembering when I got them as we decorate each year.
ReplyDeletemy favorite ornament is the first ornament my husband and I bought together. It is a cat and a dog in christmas hats with our names on it.
ReplyDeleteI hope I can enter not knowing what my favorite ornament is. I'm sure I have one, and I'm sure my son made it, but my tree isn't out yet and honestly I have no memory of a favorite one. Maybe my favorite has yet to be created, bought, or received. I do very much love the one you are giving away. I love anything that someone has taken time to create.
ReplyDeleteBonjour. I am Amy -originally from Ottawa but know very little French :( Love your ornament - it is really well done. Fingers crossed!!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite ornament are a series of very bright bubles that I made with felt! It was my first sewing project ever and I love t o look at them again year after year! Merci beaucoup pour la chance!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to think I am crazy but I have two ornaments that I love, love, love! I use to collect Santa ornaments and I have one made from okra...yes, okra! and another painted on a regular light bulb! I had one of my trees decorated in nothing but Santas.
ReplyDeleteI love the angel ornament that was given to me by my late Aunt Judy. I loved her dearly.
ReplyDeleteI have a series of tiny glass "drops" on wires that catch the light and make the tree sparkle.
ReplyDeleteOh, how lovely. I've just recently realized that you don't have to make just x's! My favorite is likely a beaded and sequined dove an elderly friend made me - I love it so much it doesn't get put away with the other ornaments, but stays on my desk the rest of the year. But most of my ornaments have a story connected with them (except for a set of gold balls from the store), and I love them all.
ReplyDeleteOoo, I love mercury glass ornaments that I've collected here there and everywhere. I love to find a new shape or shade.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite ornament is one that my sister made for me back when we were little girls. It is just a styrofoam ball that she glue a Christmas napkin design to and covered with glitter.

ReplyDeletenotre sapin est eclectique ! On y met toujours les boules "mon premier Noël" offertes à nos enfants, celles que l'ainée avait faite et décorée à la crèche, et toutes ces petites bricoles chères à mon cœur qui font le lien avec ma famille qui n'habite pas aussi près !
Sans parler des bonbons que j'aime bien suspendre aux branches !!!
we have also family ornaments, I have nothing against "professionally" decorated trees but in our house the tree means family, fun and sharing!!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite ornament is one that one gifted to me 3 years ago from a dear family friend. She actually sent several but the one I love the most is this beautiful 5 tiered wedding cake full of beautiful colors and lots and lots of glitter! It's something I really care about and make sure I put it right smack in the middle of the tree so it's what my eyes go to the most often. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and family.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win. You do fabulous work!
I like the fabric ball ornaments I made when my daughter was one. They go on the bottom of the tree with the other non breakables
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is a stocking ornament that my sister-in-law made using a piece of a quilt made by my Grandmother. The quilt was too ragged to be used, so she made ornaments for all us siblings.
