I'm so in the holiday mood. I know it's still not even turkey day here in the states, but I can't help it. I'm completely and totally gooped up about the approaching advent and holiday season. It just makes me happy. In a totally cheesy, memory making, legacy driven kind of way. I love the traditions, I love the sights and smells, I love the anticipation, the giving, the caring just a little more, I even love the busy.
And so when my sweet Crystal and I were contemplating a holiday Grow With Love series, there was no hesitation. We both just knew we wanted to develop and share a holiday-centered project. And so we've created a shortened version of Grow With Love for the holidays, so I guess you could say it's more a Twelve Days of Christmas kind of thing. We are excited to share some wonderfully holiday-centric prompts with you all and they can be used in concert with and to enhance any other holiday project you may be pursuing! As always we hope this holiday edition will help guide you through the season in a memory-minded way so that you can capture your stories and let them make your holiday a little something extra special this year.
Here's a peek at what's to come:
And our prompts for this are really wonderful for preserving this beautiful time of year in a special way — I can't wait to scrap them all!
So I'm rambling on and on like this because, as always, we are so eager to share Grow With Love with you. And we like to make you smile. Soooo….I will be giving away our new Grow With Love: Holiday to one lucky commenter. If you like to win, just leave a comment below telling me what your favorite holiday song is, for a chance to win before Thursday 25 November at 7pm (PST). You can increase your chances at winning by posting about the giveaway on Twitter and Facebook. Be sure to come back here with a link in the comments.

Thanks for the chance to win!
