12 Days of Christmas Giveaways Minus 8 Days
Day 3 – Christmas Eve!
December 24, 2008
I had NO idea this little guy [image of elf removed] was going to be so hard for everyone to find! Where was he hiding? Look over in the far right column where it reads “SisterFriends Together is an outreach project of Grace Unfolding Ministries in spiritual partnership with Peace Lutheran Church.” Click on “tries” in “ministries.” Go ahead. I’ll wait.
Uh-uh. He was there all the time. Hopefully this hasn’t spiraled any of you into major issues with elf resentments. If so, seek therapeutic help.
If you followed yesterday’s comment section you’re aware that out of pity and a hearty dose of Christmas spirit I changed the giveaway so that everyone (up to five people) who found the elf before 9:00 p.m. Pacific Coast Time would win the necklace. Amy found Little Elfie Green Pants within the first couple hours and with an hour to spare Cristi sailed in with a winning entry. I’m not sure how many others of you were out there playing but Stephanie and et2c were scurrying all over the site searching without luck and for no reason other than shear determination and the entertainment value of watching them spend their evening searching, Stephanie and et2c will each be receiving their consolation necklace. Wear them with your chins held high Women! Amy, Cristi, Stephanie, and et2c, drop me an email with your mailing address and your choice of necklace color so I can get your well-earned Christmas Giveaways off in the mail! Congratulations! And once again, thank you et2c for one of the most enjoyable December 23 evenings of my life.
To reward everyone for yesterday’s elf fiasco, today’s giveaway is a bit of a scavenger hunt through Gingerbread Valley. Report back to the comment section with your the scavenger hunt answers so you can have a chance at winning a gorgeous, and I do mean gorgeous triple strand bracelet from Bead For Life in the color of your choice. Click here to view a larger image.
Remember the recent gingerbread party I held for the children at my church? In a recent post I included photos from the event. Find the post and scroll down to the photos. Looking through the photos answer the following questions:
- How many pounds of butter did it take to make the houses? Hint: Not cubes of butter. Pounds of butter.
- How many chocolate peppermint patties does it take to make a gingerbread chimney?
- What did I use to hold the drying roof shingles in place?
- List ten different candies used in construction.
- Find the misspelled word on one of the photo captions. What is the word?
Once you have all the answers post them in this post’s comment section. The winner’s will be the first and fifth correct entries submitted. One entry per person. Previous Christmas Giveaway winners are exempt. Be sure to include your email in the provided space in the comment form so I can contact you if you win. And as before, entries submitted by email will not be counted.
There you go kids. Have fun and have a wonderful and truly blessed Christmas Eve!
