Have you heard of
Giving Tuesday? I had not, but this is the second annual one, and it's a day to follow up Black Friday and Cyber Monday with a "national day of giving" here at the beginning of the holidays. I love the idea, and I'm planning to make a donation *somewhere* today. (Haven't decided yet, but I had the idea to take the money I would have spent on my late mother's Christmas gift and give it away to charity. My mom was an extremely giving person, easily the most generous soul I ever knew, so I think she'd like that.) To encourage others to give today, I decided to host a mini-giveaway as well, of one of these packages of pretty teacup Christmas cards!
These little 4 x 5-inch cards came from Ross, just $3.99, and when I got myself a package, I just couldn't see leaving that other package there when it might be snapped up by someone who wouldn't really
love them like all of you would! (Is that greed or merely looking out for my friends? I dunno.) All 10 cards are the same design, and they come with cute decorative envelopes, the front and back of which are shown here.
Want to win them? Just leave a comment to this post between now and 7 a.m. Friday, Dec. 6, and I'll announce the winner that day so I can get your address (please make sure I can contact you!) and get this in the mail in time for your Christmas gift giving. U.S. only please. Good luck!
Oh, my! So very lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!

I had not heard of Giving Tuesday until reading about it on your blog. [I'm always learning something new from you!] You're a close second to your mother when it comes to being generous. You learned well from her. Unfortunately there are no Ross stores in my area or I'd be making a trip there today. My blog post today is about tea-themed Christmas cards.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty cards. I have not heard of Giving Tuesday either. But I plan to celebrate it today. Not sure how I will do it; but I will do a little giving today!
ReplyDeleteI had not heard of Giving Tuesday either - a great idea. What lovely cards. I have not seen these and would love to win. Thank you for adding my name. Merry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteGiving Tuesday, that's a new one to me.
ReplyDeleteOne of your blog readers will love to win these cards and I did read Phyllis' post showing tea-themed Christmas cards earlier. That could be the theme for my handcrafted holiday cards next year.
I've never heard of giving Tuesday. You always find fun things at Ross to share.
ReplyDeleteI did not know about this day but what a great way to pay it forward! After cleaning out from 2 young children had lots to drop off at the women's shelter today; how appropriate the day! Thanks for reminding us and love those cards; whoever gets them is sure to enjoy passing them along!
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of Giving Tuesday before. What a wonderful idea. Thanks for the giveaway. The cards are beautiful.

Oh dear, I have been away and away from my computer so I missed the deadline here. I would have loved those notes but I will look in my Ross.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of your mother and we can all celebrate her life and her generosity.
Thank you for the giving you do, too.
Ruthie
Such generosity and such beautiful cards!
