Holiday Themed Give-A-Way

The wonderful folks over at CSN Stores have given me another opportunity to give you guys something to brighten your day... and I'm so excited. This time the prizes were able to be valued higher - so I chose some things that I would use during the holiday season for you to choose from... BUT if you don't like any of these, they are giving me a $75 gift code for you to use on any of their 200+ sites! Their sites sell everything from cookware to nightstands... and certainly the extra money could come in handy as we all begin our holiday shopping!

I chose 4 items that I thought would be really nice items to have around during the holidays for entertaining or just for decorating - they could be given as gifts, or kept for your own celebrations at home. If none of these strike your fancy though - just let me know and you can get the gift code instead.

Prize # 1


Prize # 2








Prize #3 


Prize #4



Prize #5
$75 Gift Code to be used in any of the CSN Stores websites
