Happy Thursday! I LOVE that line of BG! For me, I'm working on sewing a little apron for my little girl to go along with her kitchen set that she's getting for Christmas :) AND listening to holiday music - it never gets old for me :)
Merry Christmas! Jovial is my favorite as well! Off to my 1st grader's Holiday Concert today and then swim meets (not so holiday-ish...)
Happy Holidays! Looking forward to spending time with family. Thanks for the opportunity to win some
basic grey.
Merry Chrismtas Kelly!!! I'm so behind on the card making but as soon as I'm off of this computer I'm getting some more done. We've got out secret Santa at work on Friday and I need at least one for that. LOL. I work well under pressure. :)
We have a snowy day here today. I started some holiday baking last night, and I hope to do some more today. Thanks for the great giveaway!
What a wonderful holiday surprise! I'll be sure to drool over it while I'm baking 17 different kinds of cookies this weekend! Heehee
Chestnuts roasting on a open fire...how's that for holiday-ish. :) ~Kristen
love tat collection too ;) It is our first snow day here in canada and lovin' all the snow and looking forward to great Christmas memories :) MErry ChRiStmas!!

Finally getting excited for the Holidays! I'm baking sugar cookies with two Chinese girls I tutor on Saturday if the weather holds up! Their first time! They are so excited--so I am so excited! :-) Thanks for a chance to win!
JOVIAL might be my most favorite Christmas line ever. I'm so in love with the cute snowmen! We are getting so excited for Christmas in our house. We are looking forward to 2 weeks of relaxing, baking, crafting, and movie time!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I'm looking forward to being off of work for a few days and spending time with extended family. I LOVE this collection...well, actually I LOVE anything Basic Grey! :)
I have not seen much of the Jovial line in person.
Holiday-ish has to wait until I finish giving exams and grading them next week. I'm in a Humbug mood for that reason. Maybe winning some Jovial would cheer me up and get me in the spirit.
finished making DH's treats for coworkers. Made 25 bags!! My birthday is tomorrow.
I'll be 42... wow....just wow....
Love Jovial!!! Today I'm addressing 50 homemade cards to hopefully get them mailed tomorrow. And this weekend I'll be celebrating Christmas with my son and his wife. Would love some Jovial to scrap this weekend's photos! :) Thanks for your generosity!
Happy holidays!
-Abby
Happy Holidays! Just sitting with a cup of cocoa, taking a break from gift-wrapping, before I head off to my daughter's school to help with winter parties. Jovial is my favorite BG holiday line too, so thank you for spreading some Christmas cheer around with a chance to add this treat to our stocking!
I'm in the middle of a cookie baking marathon. Thanks for the chance to win.
Thanks so much for this amazing giveaway. And let's talk about Christmas...mmm... we put up our Christmas tree and decorated it last weekend and in just a few days time our whole house turned into a Christmas paradise...my mom has hung reindeers, holly berries, ornaments etc. etc. everywhere. LOL, at first it drove me a little crazy, but now I think I love it:) December always has something wonderful and I love that.
WOW Thanks!!! Feliz Navidad!!!!! that's Merry Christmas in Spanish!!! Hope you have a wonderful one!!!

Merci de nous donner l'opportunité de gagner ce magnifique kit jovial, moi aussi je l'adore
Pour les vacances de noël j'aimerai bien qu'il y ait un peu de neige, surtout le jour de NOël , ça serait vraiment magique
Je suis en train de penser à ça devant ma tasse de café
AAHH!! I just picked up the Jovial collection at the scrapbook store and then put it back on the shelf because my conscience got the better of me. I was there to get the finishing touches for my MIL's present and still had to go get presents for my son's bday which is today. No spending on myself. And here you are tempting me again!!! I love, love this collection. Maybe it's fate.
We are still finding more and more decorations to deck the halls at our house! With all the holiday band concerts, final exams (for me), church Christmas programs etc. I just started my December Daily album yesterday. The Jovial line would be perfect to complete it! Thanks so much for the chance :)
Happy Holidays! Just realized that Christmas is next week and I haven't wrapped any presents. Eeeek!
We went ice skating with my kids yesterday. It was a dreat time to spent with my kids during holidays and a fun page for my December Daily. Great giveaway, Kelly! Thanks!
Merry Christmas! I still need to shop and decorate the tree! The desktop wallpaper & paper pak look wonderful!
Awesome!!! Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year! :)
happy christmas! Only 9 days to go!
SO in love with that collection pack. Yummy goodies! As for something Christmas-y, here's a recipe for Christmas Bark that I've made for the past several years, after seeing this recipe posted by Stacey Kiebler. It's easy and so yummy!
Christmas Bark
*Makes approximately 40 pieces
1 sleeve saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
12. oz. semisweet chocolate morsels
1 cup. chopped nuts
Parchment paper (a must)!
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place crackers in one layer on parchment lined baking sheet with sides.
3. Melt butter and brown sugar in medium saucepan. Cook for 3 minutes,
stirring constantly.
4. Pour butter/sugar mixture over the crackers and spread evenly.
5. Bake for 15 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate morsels. When they start
to melt, spread evenly over entire layer of crackers.
7. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
8. Put in oven with temperature off for a minute or two to let chocolate melt.
9. Refrigerate for one hour or more.
10. Remove from refrigerator and crack into pieces.
Pack in a cute container or holiday tray for great gifts.
"dont eat a poinsetta or you might regretta" that is what my son is practicing right now in my ear for his kindergarten program tonight. I think its Christmas-y :) I would love to win jovial to scrap his program picts!!!
i LOVE this BG line! i used a couple of the patterned papers for my christmas cards this year :) thanks for the chance to win the collection pack - it's fantasic!
Happy Holidays! Thanks for the opportunity to win some
basic grey, my favorites. Greetings from Sweden
The BG Jovial line is very beautiful! I made 36 hand-made Christmas cards and just finished writing a personal note in each one. Happy Holidays!
I love the Jovial line!! It's my favorite since... well, Blitzen (I think!) Anyway... something holiday-ish would be the fact that I'm SOO behind in my cmas cards and am doing those today with the hopes that MAYBE they'll be mailed out by next Monday!!
You are so giving, Kelly! Here's my little Christmas thingie.. just heard the idea at my mom's group.. with all the Christmas Cards you get, keep them and each night even after the holiday's are over, let one of your boys pick one family out of the stack and you pray for them before dinner. LOVE this idea and am doing with my girlies after the holiday's!
Darcy Holsopple
Merry Christmas! I am just now working on a Jovial mini-album for my church Secret Sister! Am loving the beautiful patterns of the Jovial line!! Still have ALL of my baking to do....
Dawn Howells
Merry Christmas! Gathering info to purchase some gifts for a needy family. Love the Jovial line of paper.
Ooooh yaaayyy, thanks for the chance to win!! I am enjoying my icy day here as well just listening to my holiday music on my blog, finishing up my teacher gifts, and doing a little scrapping (kids are in school even though it's snowy and icy :(
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!!
Sarah
Whispering ... I totally left a conference call I was on (left the receiver on my desk) and went to Starbucks for a Peppermint Mocha. Don't regret it at all ... ahhhh!!! :)
Thanks for the giveaway! Loving the snow on the ground (as long as I'm not out in it) that's making it look a lot like Christmas today!
Merry Christmas!! LOVE that line and would love to win. Thank you so much for offering it to a lucky reader!
The trees are up (have been for a month plus), the presents are wrapped, and we are ready for Christmas! I can't wait to see my 4-year-old daughter's face when she opens her gifts. :)
Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh over fields we go laughing all the way...
Drinking hot choc and singing christmas carols because it's freezing right now in SWFL and my kids are loving it! :)
We have icy/snowy weather today too. My husband left work TWO AND A HALF HOURS AGO, and on a normal day the trip would be about 45 minutes or an hour. ICK. But I have been spending the afternoon picking up the house, doing some baking to take with me to my parents house for Christmas, and wrapping gifts.
Tomorrow I'm busting out the scrapbooking stuff and doing some holiday pages, I think. Or maybe I should wait because I really want the giveaway. ;)
I love the Jovial line, the colors are so warm & inviting - I can't get enough of it! I posted off my first batch of Christmas cards yesterday & wrapped my first gift, it's finally starting to feel like Christmas is really coming!
God Jul, as we say here in Norway, meaning Merry chistmas in english... :o) And since I really live near the Northpole, I'm sure I have been a really nice girl this year....lol...
Merry Christmas!!!! Well, I'm actually yelling it, but it is so hard to type that way without appearing rude! HA! I hope you truly have a really fantastic holiday season! I LOVE this time of year!!!!
This time of year is alot about keeping secrets at my house. Like me trying not to let my husband know he got "me" a nail gun and compressor for Christmas. As for me, I'm trying to keep secret that our daughter is coming home a week early. I think my surprise tops his this year. The jovial paper would be perfect to scrap captured moments of this event. Merry Christmas and thanks for the giveaway.
Oooh, thanks for introducing me to Jovial, I haven't been paying scrapbooking for a while subscribing to your blog has left me itching to jump back in, I always love the Basic Grey Christmas lines!
Love the Jovial collection as well it is yummy... I just finished the wonderful 2011 Calendar by Basic Grey to replace my last years 2010 Basic Grey calendar. :) It is so awesome ~ I love it!!
We are having unconditionally warm weather in Colorado, no snow just lots of sunshine - Sending warm thoughts your way. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

That paper looks awesome. Today I am finishing helping my five year old make homemade tags for all the gifts he bought for family at Santa's workshop.
I was never able to get my hands on that collection of BG, it was sold out everywhere. We are home missing all our afternoon activites due to the snow! At least it feels more like Christmas with everything white!
We're home enjoying a snow day as well. Just getting ready to wrap presents with my children. I love this time of year!
Hi Kelly!
I've been around for all of the BG holiday lines and Jovial is by far my favorite too! Loving your December Daily album and can't wait to see more pages from it!
Tomorrow is cookie baking day and then off to a holiday party on Sunday. Hope your weekend is just as jolly!
K in PA
Oh - I love this one too!! My favorite used to be Dasher but this one is so much more Christmasy!! LOVE IT!! I went shopping today for all my baking supplies. My twin daughters are coming home from College tomorrow and we will spend the entire weekend doing nothing but baking and eating!! I am so excited!
Merry Christmas Kelly! That calendar page is so pretty! Love the Jovial line!!! Something Christmas-y.. I made a wreath last night with some Wassail. It looks so pretty hanging on the inside of my front door. Take a peek if you have time.. it's on my blog and in my gallery! :) Been baking cookies and wrapping presents.
I have not been able to get this line, but I am sure it's as beautiful as all their past Christmas lines, just by seeing your December album, it looks amazing. I have most of my Christmas baking done, and most of my shopping too, just one last person to buy for...my dear Hubby, still do not know what to get him??? Kelly, I would like to take this time to wish you and your family a very merry Christmas, and all the best for 2011!!!
Can't wait to start using the calendar. Jovial is my favorite Christmas line! As for something Christmas-y, Santa came to my son's preschool class this morning and brought him the only thing he has asked for, an orange truck. Tonight my daughter and I are making M&M cookies with Christmas M&M's for her school party tomorrow.
Hi!
Today i went shopping for christmas presents, and scrapbooking stuff for myself :)
Well, it's definitely holiday-like outside today. Nice big snowflakes. Luckily the roads are still good for me to get home after work....yep, entering contest at work...not worries the fastest minimizer in the office here!
HO HO HO!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!! well hope you are feeling festive and in the holiday mood, I am and am about to work on some neighbor presents.. hope you have a great day.. thanks for the chance
I saw these papers at my lss the other day and wished I could of bought everything, so adorable. But I decided to spend my holiday money on someone besides myself.
It's coooooold here in the Windy City! Actually the coldest December on record since somewhere in the 1800s I heard. (Don't quote me on the facts - but trust me that it's freeeezing!!!) Some beautiful holiday Basic Grey paper would definitely warm my cockels (just what ARE cockles any way?).
How about "Merry Christmas"!! It's coming fast! I am so not ready! :P
Almost done all my gifts making, shopping and wrapping, feel so good! Love to receive the pretty BG holiday pack! Must be so fun to play with!
I love this Jovial collection, one of my favorites!! Today, hoping to finish up my Christmas cards, if I can stay awake!! lol Merry Christmas & thanks for a great giveaway & chance to win!!
My head is spinning from all of the prizes! Merry Christmas Kelly!
Merry Christmas Kelly!!!
Thank you for the chance to win, Kelly! I really love BG's Jovial line. Something holiday-ish? I'm totally loving my December Daily; this year was the first time I made one :)
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! Merry Christmas & thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway! And as for something "holiday-ish", this is my first Christmas season back in the US after living abroad for three years. I think I was the only person excited to see the 'Christmas stuff' out early in the stores- I missed how over-the-top the holiday season is here.
I jsut finished packing up 7 teacher gifts for Christmas!! Inside are containers that I decorated and filled with Hershey's Kisses, along with a body lotion and a hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works. Tomorrow is our last day of school before the Holiday break so we're taking them in then. I can't wait to see some happy teachers!!
Thanks for the chance to win!!

Awesome collection and I don't have it yet! Last night I made a Holiday playlist for my new iPad, finished treat bags, candy cane reindeers and cards for my Team at work, I'm definitely in the Holiday mode. I wish you could you have seen my husband helping my daughter and I wrap candy canes with yarn, and he was really good at it too!

There's nothing like staying in and scrapbooking by the Christmas tree when it's uber-cold outside (+ windchill)!! Yes, I'm describing this Saturday afternoon. Jovial is probably my favourite Christmas BG line to date (squeaking past Fruitcake!).
Jovial is the most fantastic Christmas line. I made my Christmas "JOY" banner out of Jovial. It is hanging in my stamping room and makes me very happy.
What fun goodies! Thanks for the chance to win that BG line - so pretty. My "holiday-ish" thing ... I've been baking my annual ginger snaps tonight for friends & family. Smells like Christmas to me. :)
Thanks for the chance to win, Kelly... Loveee love lovee BG's Jovial collection.. =) Just finished and sent out most of my christmas cards... And I'mm dreaming of a white christmas, since there's no snow here in this part of california... Merry Christmas.. =)
I am singing along to the Glee Christmas soundtrack - although we haven't actually had that episode here yet in Australia:) Hope you have a lovely Christmas!!
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way...
Oh what fun, it is to scrap,

Cristin Johnson says, Merry Christmas to everyone :]
Prepping for family to arrive tomorrow; baking cookies to satisfy my sweet tooth & wishing all a very merry.
As much as I've enjoyed getting together, I really am SO glad to be done with all the parties, meetings, and sign-up sheets for the year. I keep humming Amy Grant's song... "I need a silent night, a holy night, to hear an angel's voice through the chaos and noise." I just need a little time to soak up the joys and blessings I have...and you know, scrapping fits right in there with enjoying my family :)
Merry Christmas! This Basic Grey is a wonderful gift. We begin our family Christmas tomorrow… 7 grandkids ages 18 months to 11 years. Cooking and wrapping gifts will continue today.
I have been baking tons of cookies and putting finishing touches on the presents that I made this year.
Beautiful!
I'm busy baking cookies today.
And asking myself...why...every year...am I doing things at the last minute??
:o)

Baking and decorating a Birthday cake for Jesus! Bring true meaning of why we Celebrate Christmas. especially for children!

I would love to win that paper pack! Can't wait to stay home this week and have a fire, lots of cocoa and bake cookies!!!
Thank you for the generous giveaway! I love paper snowflakes and sharing "Merry Christmas!"
What a great giveaway! You sure are a great Santa! How do I get on your Christmas list next year?!! Thanks! Happy Holidays!
I love basic grey paper. Especially the Christmas paper. Home today with the little one just finishing up all those Christmas crafts. I've got some fabric on order that should deliver next wed so I'll be working rich up to the end!
I have just finished with our annual Christmas get together before everyone goes their way - as it is holiday time in South Africa - and we had a great lunch, with lots of laughs and fellowship. Happy holidays to you all.
Hi. I love those paper packs. They are the best. I'm hoping to make more holiday cards this coming weekend after today's last class in the semester! Have been so busy and didn't have time to sit in my studio and enjoy some holiday stamps. Sniff. But soon I will be and also start decoration the house finally.!!
I'm squeezing in a little blog reading before going to my son's preschool for cookies and milk with Santa. Thanks for the chance to win!
Christmas cards are mailed, decorations up, about 1/2 gifts wrapped and plan to finish today..then to mix up cookies. Will bake and make fudge next week....No matter how "early" I start, I seem to run out of time...or steam!
Merry Christmas to you!

How about a pretty Christmastime quote? "Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time." ~Laura Ingalls Wilder
Love that line. Enjoying the day with friends over hot coffee and treats (and getting their help making my husbands Christmas present)
Wonderful giveaway with endless possibilities! Hummm . . .something holiday-ish.
Tap, tap, tap . . .is this thing on? Mi, mi, mi . . do ra mi fa sol la ti do. Et hem, here is goes. No one laugh.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock.
Jingle bells swing and gingle bells ring,
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun,
Now the jingle hop has begun.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock.
Jiingle bell chimes in jingle bell time.
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square . . . in the frosty air . . . .
Hummmm, hummm .hummm hummm . . . feel free to hum the song all weekend long =)
What a wonderful time of the year - my favorite!! Watching the grandchildren's program's is my favorite and making pretzel almond bark!! Merry Christmas to you and your staff!!
I look forward all year long to my week of holiday baking and listening to Christmas music. BRING IT ON! :)
Thanks for the wonderful opportunity to receive this lovely paper. I am a nut about making Chrismtas card and no two are ever alike. I especially love snowy scene with evergreen and snowmen.
Our family loves Christmas firstly, because we celebrate the birth of Jesus, and secondly, because it gives us a chance to spend quality time together with no place to go or other things to do. We just sit around enjoying each others' company, talking and playing games. It's a treasured time.
I hope Santa leaves you a bunch of wonderful crafty goodies for being such a generous gal!
You made it sound like "Jovial" was your favorite holiday! ha ha
Merry Christmas! We are wishing for some snow for the holiday but no, the mountains are getting alot so great skiing in Colorado but the plains it's in the 40's and 50's. Does not seem like December. Love that fabric can anyone have enough Christmas fabric? So glad I found this great blog. Bye
Oh!! Love that line!! I am knitting a last pair of red and green slippers and my crafty gifts are finished!! Thanks for the chance to win!
Happy Holidays! Can't wait to see the looks on my friends faces when they try my candied bacon fudge and salted toffee with smoked almonds.
I heart Basic Grey:)
Hope everyone has a great Christmas. I am off to finish up my shopping.
Merry Christmas from Indiana. I hope you and your lovely boys have an awesome holiday. I really enjoy reading your blog :)
Need! I would do lots of MP projects with it!
I'm up to my elbows in cookie dough and would love to take a break and do some crafting! Beautiful paper is my weakness - thanks for the chance to win. Merry Christmas!
8 days till Christmas...still hoping it's a white one here in Ma. Go PATRIOTS :)
Last night we attended the Christmas Concert at DS's school. It was his first official day as a "band geek". Hard to believe how well the kids do when they have only played for three months!
Have a joyous holiday Kelly!
Kelly, that is sooo cute! :) I love it! BG is still my fave!!
KELLY!!! I'm always amazed that the things you pick as your favorites are exactly what I would choose... great minds and all that, eh? I have just finished my last project for this semester and I'm ready to get my holiday mojo ON!!! Going to scrap-lift some of your fun ideas for gifts... LOVE this season!! (and you, of course!!)
I love that collection. It'd be so much fun to make a quilted stocking or table runner with it. Thanks!

This Basic Grey collection is simply outstanding!
I can visualize a quilt for my daughter made out of it.
The smell of gingerbread and icing makes me think of this time of the year. Every year my 4 grankids come over and we bake these cute little men and then we hide them. The children love to look all over for them.
Happy holidays!

Makes me feel like saying, fa la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
What a lovely giveaway! Those are beautiful.
I'm feeling pretty Christmassy today - met a few friends for a little pre-Christmas party and we exchanged gifts and now I'm sitting here drinking lovely hot chocolate and eating holiday cookies (both the ones I got and the ones I made yesterday). The house smells so nice!

I could use some happy holiday cheer, lol.
I am stuck with bronchitis and bad ribs, so stuck on the couch and trying to think of things I can make for fun and keep my spirits up.
Love the fun and beautiful colors.
