When I was asked to do a review and giveaway for a CafePress Christmas Ornaments I was excited. I went to their site, hundreds of pages of ornaments. It was very easy to browse, they had Popular ornament categories so could look at kids ornaments, funny, sports, animals, military, even Obama ornaments. I was trying to find the prefect ornament to review. It took me two hours, for real. My husband was on his computer I kept say look at this, it would be prefect for Bri. It was a Puggle Christmas ornament. Cafe Press has 417 different Puggle ornaments. You have to go see their wide selection to believe it. What ever is special to you they have it on a ornament, If you cant find it you can make it.
Then I saw the Twilight Ornaments. Some of them were so funny. No matter what Team you are on, If you like Twilight you will love these.

I love the Emma Christmas Red/Green Ornament (Round). I would get it for my daughter, who has a unique name and would love a personalized ornament. Tweeted. . .

My fave ornament is the Breakfast with Jack featuring a little girl and a jack russell terrier.
Here is my tweet.
http://twitter.com/tallysoma/status/6602237924
I got lost in the jack russell ornaments. So cute!
They have such a great selection of ornaments!
I love the Twilight ornament that says Edward prefers brunettes. Go Edward!
G'morning!
I also love the Pink Daisy - "Bethany" Ornament (Round). I think my daughter would like that one too.
I like the I'm Going To Be A Big Brother ornament...I'm not pregnant yet, but we are planning to for next year, so I'm already seeing how this would make a great way to tell the grandparents!

I am so excited for Christmas!! I can't wait for my girls to see what Santa brings for them.
There are so many cute ornaments, I will have a hard time deciding. I like this one too. . .
Cute Little Kiersten
I love all the Twilight Ornaments. I like the This Bella Married Her Edward one too :)
I'm off to my niees birthday party today. she turned twelve yesterday. =]
Have fun Emmy!
I am going to make Christmas cookies with my little boy today...it will be his first time making Christmas Cookies (he's 18 months old)! So excited!
rachel_demille@yahoo.com
I am almost done with my Christmas shopping. I just have stocking stuffers to worry about.
mattles22 at yahoo dot com
We just got back from a holiday party for the kids. They loved seeing Santa.
My girls have yet to see Santa this year, is that sad?
my little sister is six and has yet to have a christmas pic with santa because she's still terrified of him. haha.
It is a rainy Saturday here in Southern CA!
We have been having TONS of snow here! Looks like it's going to be a white Christmas this year!
rachel_demille@yahoo.com
Oh okay I don't feel so bad then about Santa this year :) I only have one or 2 pics of my girls with Santa and Santa is my grandpa.
I miss the snow in December!
I wish I was back in SoCal with the warmer weather and no white stuff on the ground.
i'm stuck in michigan
I don't miss the snow once December is over. :)
haha yeah me either. I'm always excited at the first site of snow, but by mid january i'd be SO happy to see it go. But, here in michigan it often hangs around throughout march. gets REALLY old.
Oh the weather outside is frightful...Let is Snow :)!!
I just thought of an awesome gift to make for my 4 little nephews. I'm thrilled! =]
Any gift ideas for me? I need to get a gift for the Director at the daycare I work at, but my last day is the 18th, what would be "cheap" but nice?
oo that's kind of an awkward one. I'm so bad at coming up with gift ideas usually. I'd probably do something easy like a framed poem or quote about children/kids or a poster that had to do with kids/childhood/etc. haha.
Thanks, seriously I was thinking about something kid related. I will see what I can come up with. I hate awkward Christmas giving--LOL!!
lol yeah, my bfs entire extended family gives gifts! which, hardly anybody seems to do anymore. but he barely knows most of them, as they only get together once a year and none of them are around his/my age so its REALLY awkawrd to figure out what to get everyone!
I would get the Fairytale Wedding ornament

Did the rules change? I could have swore it was no back-to-back comments, but now I don't see it.
Well I was out all day and missed most of this. Oh well. This is a fun giveaway. Thanks for hosting.
Although to be fair, I read the rules at o'late-thirty last night, so could have just been tired. LOL
I just got my three Sprouts to bed. Going to do some sewing for my Etsy shop and then do my nightly giveaway entering. hehe
She did say no back to back comments original, I thought, but who knows? This is fun anyhow!!
But going to comment a little on here first. :)
Hmm yes it does look like the rules changed. It just said to make it a sentence. I read it really late last night too.
Oh okay. Just wanted to make sure I'm not losing my mind. hehe
This IS fun!
We don't have our xmas tree up yet. We'll probably get one Wednesday.
I can't wait for the holidays, especially yule and the solstice. <3
I am excited about Christmas. I live in the midwest and we got tons of snow, which puts me in the Christmas spirit.
I need to get down to my mom's... she just put her tree up, including all of my ornaments from childhood. I love to show them to my Sprouts.
We got about 3 inches the other day, and it definitely made me think christmas!!! But it's long since melted. I hope we get more!
I'm also looking forward to putting together the gingerbread house kit that I picked up.
We just bought a gate for our tree today.
I've NEVER done a gingerbread house before, so I'm excited for both my Sprouts and myself!! ^.^
Soo...how many twilights fans do we have? I love all the twilight ornaments.
Our kids and kitten kept knocking our tree down. I called it the leaning tower of treesa. And they stripped off all the decorations.
Gingerbread houses are really fun!! I try to do one every year as a tradition, but I am afraid this year I might not get to it. Will have to see.
I haven't read twilight yet, but I watched the movie and enjoyed it. I hope to read it soon.
That's a great idea, Niecey. I will probably be wishing I had one with a 17mo, 3yo and 4yo!
We have an artificial tree and it has been up since the first weekend of Dec. I like my house to be festive as long as possible.
My kids did ginger bread houses with a friend yesterday while I was in surgery getting my gallbladder out
I haven't seen New Moon yet, but I hope to see it very soon.
I've never read the books. Semi interested to read them, but no interest really in seeing the movies. ;-/
I wonder how many comments we will get before this giveaway closes?
How is that getting your gall bladder out? Not very festive, huh? LOL!! I hope you recover well.
I have a 7 year old, 5 year old, 2 year old and 15 month old. Plus the kitten. Yeah they went crazy on the tree. Hopefully the gate will help. We'll set it up tomorrow and redecorate the tree.
Sorry to hear that Niecey. Lots of healing vibes to you!
Well...sadly I will have to take a break and go get the kiddos ready for bed. I will come back soon!! Maybe I will make sugar cookies too.
Thanks. Yeah it was causing me a lot of pain so I'm glad to have it out now. But then I stupidly went shopping today and it was too soon and I'm suffering now. Day of rest tomorrow I think.
I did change earlier today sorry for the confusion. You can enter all you want now no waiting. I love reading everyone's comments.
I haven't taken the Sprouts to see Santa yet. Hopefully will get the chance this week.
Aw a friend just brought over a ton of cookies from a cookie exchange they were having today, that I missed out on. They look wonderful.
My 4yo DD is excited and did well last year. My 3yo DS will probably not do well (he has PPDNOS), and my 17mo doesn't like anyone else but momma holding him, so doubt the jolly guy will be any different. :P
Aww, that was sweet of them Niecey. (no pun intended :P)
I'm a horrible cookie baker. I think it's because I don't have any decent cookie sheets.
I would like to try some silicon baking pans... see if that helps my cookie ineptitude.
I would love to be able to make healthy versions of cookies for my Sprouts to munch on.
I love snickerdoodles!
Up until a few months ago, I had NO clue what a snickerdoodle was.
But a friend gave me a recipe, and its our favorite now!
I did see a variation for pumpkin snickerdoodles that I want to try. :P
That sounds like it would go well with my homemade pumpkin lattes that I'm addicted to.
I love painting.
greentd@vcu.edu
My mom used to make a toasted oatmeal cookie that was yummy. You slightly brown the oats in a pan with some sugar before mixing it in the batter.
i have a 3yo nephew who had a christmas tree fall on him yesterday! thankfully he was mostly okay, has a bruise on his head. kinda scary though! Especially with how most kid swon't leave them alone. He wasn't playing with the tree when it happened though, he grabbed a branch to pull himself up off the floor and it came down.
Oh goodness I didn't realize that. Is there a way to delete them? So sorry!
I should be working on serging some unpaper towels for a custom order.
i feel bad now about tiffy. =[. I really thought the rules had said back to back only. I should have double checked before mentioning it.
As well as make some more Owie Bags (flaxseed hot/cold packs) to stock up my shop.
But this is so much fun. ^.^
no i think you're alright tiffy - i was wrong. i'm really sorry =[
Nope tiffy, the rules changed. You're fine. :)
I'm pretty sure it DID say no back-to-back comments, but it doesn't anymore. I guess she changed it so we could chat/play more. :)
april - what's flaxseed? Have you ever used rice ones or know how well those work? I don't have a heating pad at all and I get cysts on my ovaries that are REALLY painful sometimes - plus migrains. so having a heating pad is NOT cool. I've thought about making a rice one but I'm hesitant about them just because I don't get how they keep the heat.
Oh it's fine! I was worried I missed something and didn't want to break a rule!
That is scary, Emmy. A friend on Twitter said the tree toppled over onto her 18mo.
We will be be putting bricks around the base of ours.
I love to bake. And I love to eat what I bake, which is NOT a good thing. Because then I bake tons and then eat tons...
Gosh, yeah. I'm glad I got this gate for around the tree. It hasn't fallen on anyone yet, but they knock it down like a hundred times a day. It's a real tree and is pretty much dead by now, but I'll still decorate it anyway. No money for a new one...
In my research, flaxseed works better than rice because it has a higher oil content which retains the heat longer.
I originally made first flaxseed hot/cold packs to use when I was in labor with my youngest (homebirth) and for afterwards. I loved them so much I started making them to sell.
I always eat what I bake too, but that is the BEST part. I love holiday baking especially.
huh, that's interesting about the flax seed. Flax is amazing stuff. I'd love to make some packs up.
Dashing through the snow, JINGLE BELLS!! :)
I'm not so good with the sewing etc. I can bake and cook but the sewing...not so much.
are you on etsy then? what's your shop?
I love Christmas music!!
My mum used to always make chocolate covered pretzels at christmas
My friend makes these scrummy pretzels. She puts a rollo in the middle, puts it in the oven on low until it gets melty, then presses a pecan into the middle before chilling them in the freezer to harden. They are amazing.
haha. i'm the other way around. I can barely cook enough to keep my bf and myself alive. but I love to sew. I still have a LOT to learn though. nobody in my family sews and i just started sewing in may. but I made so many stuffed animals that they were taking over our house so i decided to list them on etsy. haha. it's so relaxing to me.
I would use a gate, but I have no doubts that my Sprouts would try to scale it. >.<
She makes big batches as gifts for friends every year. I always look forward to them!
I really have better things to be doing, but this is SOOOO MUCH FUN!! I love LIVE giveaways
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5153692 is my Etsy shop. :)
LOL Ditto that Gosfam!! :)
it's past bed time but the kids seem no where near sleepy
That sounds soooo good Neicey with the rolo pretzels. Drool!
I need to be doing other stuff too, but it's hard to stop.
What time does this end again? I'll go check it out. This is enjoyable.
gosfam- oh me too! I just discovered giveaways a few months ago but the day i realized how common they are aws the day i decided i WOULD someday have my own giveaway blog. and just last week I got my first approval for a sponsor! I have two t shirts coming from two companies to review. i'm SO thrilled. and then yesterday I got approved for a scandles candle review but not a giveaway.
& i've had people tell me that it's WAY easier to get sponsors once you've hosted a sponsored giveaway a time or two. becasue when sponsors go see your blog and you haven't done a review or giveaway before, they're hesitant as to weather you'll actually review it for them and stuff.
so i'm hopin it'll take off here soon!
That's awesome Emmy. What's your Etsy shop?
I <3 Etsy. Handmade is teh awesomeness.
1am it seems. Ah yes there are so many pretty ornaments. It would be hard to choose.
Woot for your first review/giveaway, Emmy! Have fun with it!
my etsy is www.emmysboosandrawrs.etsy.com
=]
That reminds me that I need to list a pack of movie tickets tomorrow. (I don't do regular giveaways, just veeeery seldom ones from BlogSpark).
Maybe I'll do a live giveaway like this to get it done quickly. :)
That's exciting emmy
I just signed up for the uprinting sponsorship. I'm nervous to get ti started though. Dunno why really.
LOL Emmy! I was helping a friend find a monster plushie the other day and sent her a link to your shop (finding you via the etsy search engine).
Small world, eh?
LOVE your little critters. A-dor-a-ble!
Yuck, just checked the weather- freezing rain. :(
oh wow that's so cool! Thanks so much! =D
It is a blizzard outside here. First major snow this year!! I hope it lets up before Christmas travel.
My mom was telling me my 18yo sister had started entering giveaways. I told her it was my fault- I told her all about them the other day and what all I had won, and she wanted to get in on the action. LOL
I love handmade stuff. I wish I would have bought more this year.
Well, I need to go fire up the serger and get a little work done while the Sprouts are sleeping.
I got my 2 sisters into giveaways. They hate me though because they think I always win. I am glad I am so lucky sometimes :)
Don't post too much!! I'll be back before midnight to play (and get my other daily tweets in for other giveaways)
niecey - do you really understand how it works? I just got approved for it last week. Do we just have to always check the ning site to see if they post for people to apply to host giveaways of whatever item the forum is for?
I did their video contest with my monsters. hehehe.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSoDWAo7Z30
I have been pretty lucky the past two weeks. But I know that it's not so much luck than the fact that I entered TONS of them (Baby Sprout was sick, so I snuggled/nursed him all day long, for several days, while entering).
hahaha. I feel dumb when I tell people about them becuase NOBODY believes me! Everyone always tells me i'm going to get spam and stuff. Even my boyfriend did. and then just a couple weeks ago he finally said something like 'i have to admit, it's pretty sweet how much free stuff you've gotten'
I won him a free pair of glasses! and i won vinyl wall decorations. those are my two best ones. i've won so much stuff form uprinting ones because SO many giveaway blogs host those ones, that a lot of the uprinting giveaways only have like 30 comments. haha.
If either of you get approved for uprinting giveaways, let me know! I'm a cheapskate and try to search out giveaways for business cards, post cards and other stuff for my Etsy shop. :P
Shhhhh, don't tell my family, but quite a few presents are things I've won in giveaways. ::sheepish grin::
april - do you knowthat we can't get to your profile/blog? it says this
Profile Not Available
The Blogger Profile you requested cannot be displayed. Many Blogger users have not yet elected to publicly share their Profile.
If you're a Blogger user, we encourage you to enable access to your Profile.
but yeah, their business cards are really nice, i had been printing mine off by myself before and theirs are way better quality, haha. i won two giveaways for them, of 250 each. so i'm set for a long time now. it's nice cause they're usually pricey.
