My wish list

There is this amazing giveaway going on over here and it makes my heart pitter pat. 

Mama’s Holiday Wish List Meme
TodaysMama and Provo Craft are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.

- What 5 items are on your holiday wishlist this year?
 1.  a cool watch
 2.  some great maternity jeans and perfect sweater
 3.  The Magic Bullet - it makes everything!  And makes it look sooo simple.
 4.  Season 2 - 7 of the Gilmore Girls. Or just a couple here and there.
 5.  A personal chef.

- What is your favorite handmade gift you have received?
 I don't know how to narrow it down!  Too many talented people around me.  Gotta think about it.

- What handmade gift have you always wanted to tackle?
 I want to knit a complex sweater or scarf.

- What was the best Christmas gift you received as a child?
 Everyone knows I have the worst memory but it may have been the Beatrix Potter paper playhouse.  Or my   first stereo.

- What is on your kid's wishlist this year?
  Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics for Wii, Caroline wants something awesome (that is all she has said)

- What is your favorite holiday food?
  Peppermint Ice Cream or homemade caramel

-  What will you be hand-crafting for the holidays?
  I can't say, they are gifts!

-  What is your favorite holiday movie?
  A Christmas Story, Charlie Brown Christmas

- Favorite holiday song?
  What Child is This?

- Favorite holiday past time?
  Just soaking it all in or drinking warm cider



From their site:

"Our “sleigh” is a Madsen Bike filled with gifts and goodies from Provo Craft to help you create those handmade projects including a Yudu screen-printing machine, a Cuttlebug, a Cricut Expression Machine, a Your Story thermal book binder, and a Knifty Knitter loom set. That’s not all - we’ve got treasures galore - a Dyson Blueprint, an Easy Walker Sky stroller from MamaBargains.com, two Sidekick baby carrier bags from Kemby and an Amber Alert GPS unit and a full year of service."

That’s over $3,800 in gifts!
I need a kick in the pants where creativity is concerned and this may be just the ticket.  Plus I need something to peddle me back into shape after this baby, so the bike would be beyond wonderful!  I'm crossing my fingers, all the time, everyday!  I should probably tell you you can enter too.  Go here.
