My Home in Creatively Christmas Book and Giveaway!

Christmas

For some of you, the news that my home appears in Jennifer Rizzo’s new Creatively Christmas book isn’t new news. I wrote about it a few weeks ago … but that was before I had a copy of its beautifully adorned pages in my hands. Last weekend I went to Jennifer’s book launch party and came home with several copies … one of which I’m giving away here on my blog!

Creatively Christmas Book GiveawayFor her first book, Jennifer Rizzo did an amazing job.

I can’t believe all the work she put into its 200+ pages of gorgeous Christmas inspiration.

 

Jennifer Zuri House Appearing in Creatively Christmas BookImagine my surprise when I turned to this page!

Jennifer was standing right next to me at the book signing when I flipped to see my name in big print.

 

Pages from Creatively Christmas BookWhen Jennifer came over to photograph my house, it was a gray day … perfect for indoor photography.

I had fun watching her work her magic. We had lunch in the dining room and talked blog shop.

 

Traci's Christmas Home appearing in Creatively ChristmasThis is one of my favorite holiday homes featured in the book.

The owner of this gorgeous home has a store in Morris, Illinois. About an hour’s drive from me.

I’ve never been to her shop but I’ll bet it’s just as beautiful as her home.

 

Christmas Santa Bag Project in Creatively ChristmasCreatively Christmas is packed full of DIY decorating projects for the holidays.

Like this Santa bag which I adore! I think I have to make one of these.

I had no idea so much inspiration was going to be in this book.  There are over 250 pages!

 

The Polo House Blog appearing in Creatively Christmas Book

Fellow blogger Alison at The Polohouse also has her home appearing in the book.

Her house is absolutely breath taking! But don’t take my word for it.

Enter to win a copy of Creatively Christmas and see for yourself!  {smile}

  40. This has to be so exciting for you! Congrats! I ordered the book thru Amazon when I first saw on a blog (might have been Jennifer R’s, I don’t remember) that we could pre-order on Amazon. Seems like months ago! Amazon sent me a msg saying it’s now on back order–yikes! I would love to have this magazine ahead of Christmas and if lucky enough to win, I’ll give the one I ordered to my daughter-in-law who I know will drool over it as well 😉

  53. ***OH MY GOODNESS!! Jennifer… THIS IS SO [email protected]@L!*** I can tell you with COMPLETE honesty that “TCL” & Jennifer Rizzo’s are EACH on my top five favorite Blog Lists + I must confess to being signed up with WAAAAY MORE BLOGS. So many that I could not venture a guess as they are almost out of control and I’d actually be embarrassed to admit how many IF I did know! That said, as my in-box fills up daily with a multitude of various decor blogs (as I’ve been hooked for years now!) the volume is so great that I just skim my email for my “SPECIAL” BLOGGERS as some do stand above others – or – I should say the “style” I ADORE along with the no-fail inspirations I always come away with on these certain sites. As I skim I am on high alert for those 5 or 6 NEVER LET ME DOWN Posts. I then flag them so if I don’t have time before work to relish them I can easily find when I get home or on the weekend.(yep – I even get up an extra hour before work just for blogs!) I am a true BlogHound though I will never admit it to my husband. What wife likes to hear she has an “addiction”?! My reply… I say to him it’s a “PASSION” – BIG DIF!!! I am admittedly in a bliss filled state of denial. >>> I have to tell you that I did a version of your “Merry Christmas” garland after seeing it a couple years ago. It’s held up well and my family loves it. I ALSO have galvanized tubs as well as old enamelware that I use to “display” my presents along with some vintage sock-monkeys & old knee-huggers mixed in. I LOVE wrapping the gifts as for MANY years now I take pride in my ribbons – very similar to how yours look! This year I am going to attempt to stencil some of my burlap ribbon as you did… love that touch along with the addition of bells! And everything has to coordinate so I think this year my old sweet monkeys might get “make-overs” as well with custom burlap stocking style caps with a Bell at the point! Scarves as well… plus it just came to me… I will personalize each by adding my children & grandchildrens name to EACH cap. Try to match the monkeys “style/taste/personailities” to suit that of whom they are named after! May have to add a feather boa on one to match my youngest grand-daughter… and some bling! Geez… see? YOU get my creative juices flowing. Might just get a head start on this project now as Christmas will be here before we know it! ***I WOULD BE HONORED & EVER SO THRILLED TO BE A LUCKY WINNER OF “CREATIVELY CHRISTMAS!!!*** Thank you for adding cheer into the lives of your fans… I adore all of your many talents and feel blessed that you share with us. (Both Jennifers!) God Bless & Merry CHRISTMAS!

  132. Your blog is so inspirational. My home is also town and country. I am just outside of the city limits; in fact I have a city street address because they didn’t know what to call my long drive, land locked property but I am not in the city. As you know, it is the best of both worlds. I am already anxious to put away the fall décor and replace it with winter/Christmas goodies. Can’t wait to see Jennifer’s new book. I have already ordered two but they are both Christmas gifts. Keep up the lovely work.
