An Exchange Idea & Giveaway Winner!

Ack! I had a whole post ready and then realized that I forgot my camera at work today :( You will have to tune in tomorrow for work station pictures, my Alphabet Exchange extravaganza and stupendous seasonal apple trees!

In the meantime, I stopped at Hobby Lobby on the way home today and purchased this sweet little fellow:

 
Isn't he adorable! He was 40% too! Anyways, he got me thinking about how much I love gingerbread - the stories, the cookies, and the cute decor items! Then I started thinking about how I could share that love of gingerbread and spread it around some. That's when it hit me! How about a Gingerbread Buddy Exchange?

What I'm thinking of is exchanging a small Gingerbread decor item - can be store bought or handmade, as long as it's under $10 excluding shipping. We could even get our students involved by sending along a cute gingerbread craftivity or story (I'm thinking of something like a class book of "The Gingerbread Boy" etc). If you are interested, rustle up a comment below - if we get enough interest I will get a registration form together and match everyone up with a Gingerbread Buddy!
