SHE Team Celebrates the Holidays Giveaway - Final Two Days

Well, this is it. The final weekend of the holiday giveaway. I hope you have gotten a chance to see all the great items that the SHE Etsy Team creates. There is some wonderful talent all year long with this team. The final drawing is up until Sunday 11:00 p.m. (PST).

Here are the new items.

Larie's Creations


"Each of us a snow flake, no two of us the same.
Reflections of the Everlasting Source from which we came. "

Ocean Breeze (mompotter)


These would be great for your small Christmas dinner party. Your guests each have a different charm to mark their glass. These are made with glass beads and wonderful Christmas charms that will last for years to come.

Just slip them around the stem of your wine glass and your guest can keep track of their own.

Rachel's Aprons


Eco-Friendly and beautiful? Yes you can have it all!
100% Cotton Wash/Dish cloths are super absorbent, sturdy for tough counter and dish stains, wash well, and they last so much longer than the green and yellow ones you end up throwing out later. As a washcloth these are so soft! It will be your favorite wash cloth to use.
The cloths wash well and are 100% cotton. They make great additions to bridal shower presents, holiday gifts, or housewarming presents (or keep for yourself!) They are approximately 8 inches (20cm) x 8 inches (20cm).

Personalized Stamped Ceramic Ornament



This fun little ornament is hand-stamped and colored to fit your wishes. The snowman image is carefully stamped on the tile, colored whichever colors you would like, and personalized with a date, last name, first name, or anything in between.

The ornament is ready for hanging with a black, satin ribbon attached to a metal loop. The finishing step in preparing the ornament is a clear-coat sealant that will protect the image for years to come.

If you should win the giveaway please leave me the colors and wording you want in the message to seller. If no colors or wording are selected, then you will receive an ornament like the one in the main image.

This custom item will take a couple days production before I will be able to ship it.


Elemental Handcrafts

Personalized Childrens Natural Wooden Branch Necklace

As sweet as can be, these gender neutral necklaces are one-of-a-kind and personalized with your child's name. Made from a fallen branch, each pendant is approximately 2.25 in diameter and a half inch thick. The dainty holes in the top hold the ribbon or twine, tied big enough to fit over the head. The fronts have been sanded smooth and the entire piece waxed with a natural, non-toxic finish.

When not being worn, they are an attractive name plate for a bedroom door or wall.

Minnie Maes

This tiny tote is just what you need to make small gifts look super special! This bag is red with decorated Christmas trees in a sturdy cotton. Inside lining will be also in the red Christmas tree pattern. Gift bag measures 6" in length, 3-1/4" in width, and 4-3/4" high (not including handles).

Spice of Life Designs


A boysenberry is a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry and has a luscious shade of rich purple-pink, reminding me of the garnets in these earrings. Beautiful faceted rhodolite garnets are placed above textured coin pearls with colors that range from copper to purple to teal and magenta depending on the lighting. No matter how I tried I simply could not capture the glory of these pearls, but believe me - they are stunning in person. All the metal components in this pair of earrings are 14k goldfilled. The dangle measures just a touch under 3/4 of an inch (19mm) for a total length of 1 1/8 inches (29mm).

Your items will arrive safely packaged in my 'spice jars' and ready for gift giving.

My holiday promo is 15% off your highest priced item on any purchase from now through Dec 15. Just type 'SHEholidays' in the message to seller box at checkout and I'll issue the refund for 15% off when the item(s) ship.

This t-shirt is our best seller!

It reads: Yes, I'm Homeschooled Yes, I'm socialized Yes, I had class today.
The image is pink on a 100% cotton chocolate shirt.


Avery's Attic


These are a favorite bib of mine that was used with my children. Made from thick and absorbent washcloths, they are large enough to provide complete cover for your baby from infancy through toddlerhood. Excellent for droolers, eaters, and then for cleaning up with after the mess has been made. Because it is also a washcloth, just rinse it out at the sink to be able to clean little hands and faces! Ties closed, so there is no need for gaps at the neck! My niece even likes to wear hers as a small cape when she is not at the table! :) Truely a useful and versatile bib.

SHE Team Celebrates the Holidays Giveaway - Day 4 & 5 -


Chrysler Creek


This Cabernet scent is unequaled for it's smooth, robust and explosive fruity scent that will absolutely fill your home with it's warmth. This glass is filled with 14 ounces of my smooth soy & botanical wax that melts evenly all the way down. The scent stays in the wax unhampered until the wax turns liquid...like I said I burned this very candle for a year and the scent was just as strong as it was the day I lit it. If you like fruity scents...this is the candle for you. It will absolutely fill your home with it's warm, full, rich scent!

As always, I have used the cleanest fragrance oil available... no headaches from this scent and I have used all cotton wicks like my customers have come to expect.

The snowflake design makes it fun and elegant. I have added on a hangtag that lets you know the scent and tied it on with a blue ribbon that has silver snowflakes and the words "falling snow" printed on it.

A day at the beach set of 2 cotton wash cloths



Eco-Friendly and beautiful? Yes you can have it all!
100% Cotton Wash/Dish cloths are super absorbent, sturdy for tough counter and dish stains, wash well, and they last so much longer than the green and yellow ones you end up throwing out later. As a washcloth these are so soft! It will be your favorite wash cloth to use.
The cloths wash well and are 100% cotton. They make great additions to bridal shower presents, holiday gifts, or housewarming presents (or keep for yourself!) They are approximately 8 inches (20cm) x 8 inches (20cm).

This beautiful lady sits atop a bed of feathers and fringe. She is a cream color and has wonderful detail! The feathers, fringe and ribbons are in browns, reds, creams and golds. The neutrals of this tassel would compliment any decor. She is 8 inches tall plus ribbon on top

Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act. Proverbs 24:12


Our second item is from Ancient Game Cupboard

Achi - An African Tic-tac-toe type board game

Achi is a fun twist on what we know as tic-tac-toe. Once all of the pieces are on the 3"x3" board, players slide their pieces along the lines until someone gets three in a row.

Game comes with rules and pieces in a drawstring bag (colors and styles of bags vary).

Makes a great stocking stuffer, gift for Kwanzaa or a little something to tuck into a care package for college students or military troops!

Our Achi boards are made with reclaimed wood.

Saturday's first item is from Hazel Honey.


Great little zippy pouch for music fans (and I mean who doesn't love tunes ??)

Body of the bag is constructed from a brown velveteen fabric.

Music notes are pleather appliques.

Inside is fully lined in solid black fabric.

Quilters batting sandwiched between the fabric layers adds padding and shape.

Measures 7.5" w x 5" tall

Top closes with a zipper to keep goodies in !!



Our second giveaway item for Saturday is from Toys From Nature.

Needlefelted Mermaid Doll


My mermaid is needlefelted using clean wool and a felting needle. She was shaped by thousands of little pricks and pokes with a felting needle until her true form emerged. She is robed in dyed fleeces in skin tones, blues, and a lovely crown of golden hair that wraps around her tail. Her tail has extra wool at the bottom in a deeper blue, with the ends left unfelted to form her fins.

Felted on a wire frame, this 8" mermaid is poseable (her arms move, and she has some movement in her waist). Because the felting technique is delicate, it produces delicate pieces. These toys are really good for display if you have young children. Children ages 6+ can handle them gently and use them in their play without damaging them. They're also lovely on a nature table to herald the change of the seasons.

Introducing Just Like Rebekah

The Schooling at Home Etsy team not only has parents that are schooling their children at home, but we also have a few students as well. Rebekah is one of the high school students that are a part of this team. Please take some time to look around her shop.


Here is what she says:

" I am a student who enjoys ballet as well as making things. For the past few summers, I have gone to several summer intensives including Ballet Magnificat! and Joffrey South. I have found that these intensives are quite hard to pay for and so I started selling things that I made and eventually this shop was born. All proceeds from this shop help me pay for my summer intensives. Thanks for visiting Just Like Rebekah."

You can read more about Rebekah in her Etsy profile or on her blog.

These keychains have a mirror on one side and this beautiful decoration on the other side. There are more ideas at her shop, check it out.
