All I Want For Christmas Is.. $1000 CASH?! {A Giveaway!}

CASH GIVEAWAY


This post might look a little familiar. If you've been following along for the last year, you'll remember that this very same group of ladies came together to bless one family with $1000 cold, hard cash for the holiday season as a way to say "thanks" for all of your support and encouragement over the last year.

To keep the spirit of thanks and giving going, we've decided to do it again!

Before you enter, take a minute to get to know the fabulous ladies behind the cash! I've been working with these women for over a year now and they each bring such fantastic attributes to the blog world whether it be through their kind hearts, keen eye for decor and design, honest stories of motherhood or their hilarious sense of humor. Please check them out, you won't be disappointed!

  19. If I seriously won $1000 (highly doubting it with my luck ;), but IF) I'd give $300 of it away. Not to a large charity, but something or someone local. I'd like to see it make a small difference to someone in my community. With the other $700, I'd buy a new dishwasher. Nothing glamorous, I know, but ours just gave out and it sure would make for a Merry Christmas! :)
