Christmas Truth or Dare {Giveaway}

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED - congratulations Anita on the win.  I can’t tell y’all how much I enjoyed reading about all of your Christmas traditions.  I think my very favorite was from all of you that move your Mary and Joseph around the house in the days leading up to Christmas.  So very sweet.


After spending a month playing our Halloween Truth or Dare game, our thrifty and crafty little elf Scout brought this Christmas version straight from the North Pole!  The littles were thrilled to see what he’d cooked up for them and I know it will be our suppertime entertainment for the next few weeks.   Like the Halloween version, the player must roll 3 dice and total them up.  Even numbers get a truth and odd numbers get a dare.  We simply go around the table and take turns choosing for each other.


 

You can find the instant download in my etsy store for $2.50!!  All ages can play and laughs are pretty much guaranteed.  Our “elf” printed ours on the front and back of a piece of cardstock and then laminated so that it will last us for years to come.  (Yes, I do realize that the baby is always in some state of undress.  A fine example of picking my battles.)
 


As a little holiday treat, I’m giving away a printed and laminated copy to one lucky reader.  The giveaway is open to US mailing addresses only.  Post a separate comment for any/all of the following and leave your email address if you don’t have a blog or profile where I can find you.  You will get one chance to win for each thing you do – that’s two chances per person!!

1. Follow my blog and leave a comment letting me know.
2. Leave a comment letting me know about your family’s favorite holiday tradition.

I’ll choose a winner on December 11.

Merry Christmas, y’all!

Holiday Monograms {Giveaway + Discount}

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED, BUT THE DIXIEDELIGHTS 10% OFF DISCOUNT CODE IS GOOD THROUGH 12/5.  CONGRATULATIONS CHERISH ON YOUR WIN!!!


I am beyond excited to be bringing MORE monograms to my holiday decor this year!!!  First, take a gander at my new wreaths for my four exterior doors – front, side, friends entry and porch!!



Here’s how I pulled it off:

1.  You’ll need a 24” basic wreath, 12” indoor/outdoor white monogram from Scrappin Plus, one holiday spray (optional), ribbon and pipe cleaners.



2. Fluff your wreath and cut up the holiday spray with wire clippers.  I find that going with a basic wreath and then adding a few springs of pretty greenery goes A LONG way and is much cheaper than the nicer wreaths that are already made. 
 

3. Attach the monogram with white pipe cleaners at the four corners.



4. Make your bow and attach with another pipe cleaner.
   
5.  Add the clipped sprigs of greenery!



In addition to the four wreath monograms, I also added darling 6” wood monograms (also from Scrappin Plus) to our stockings.  I never had them monogrammed with our names and absolutely adore this look.  I painted them with Krylon Short Cuts Gold Leaf spray paint in under five minutes!



If you recall, last year I used a 16” single letter monogram to make the canvas on my porch.  Well, I am thrilled to announce that Tamera has invited me to give away a 16” single letter to one of my readers and a discount code to ALL!!! 


 
DISCOUNT: Use the Scrappin Plus discount code DIXIEDELIGHTS to take 10% off of your order between now and December 5 (the cutoff for Christmas delivery of unpainted items.)


GIVEAWAY: The giveaway is open to US mailing addresses only.  Post a separate comment for any/all of the following and leave your email address if you don’t have a blog or profile where I can find you.  You will get one chance to win for each thing you do – that’s five chances per person!!

Turkey Talk + Giveaway

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.  CONGRATULATIONS Sherry at The Rusty Pearl!!!

One of our favorite Thanksgiving traditions is a little thing we call “Turkey Talk”.  We pass around a bowl of questions throughout the meal.  When the bowl comes to you, you pick your question, read it aloud and answer it.  The premise behind the "game" is that sometimes the people you are closest to are the people you know the least about.  Each year we learn something new about each person at the table... and these are the people that we are closest to in the whole world!



Since the paper strips I have used the past few years are beyond repair, I spent the time to make cards for this year’s edition.  They feature a lovely vintage turkey and will be perfect for Thanksgiving!!  Now that John is a little older, I can’t wait to hear some of his answers too.  Most of the questions are geared towards adults and young adults, but there is no reason why littles can’t play along.  I know mine enjoy just hearing the answers!



You can find my initial list as a free printable here.  And I now have even more questions in the card format as an instant download for $2.50 in my etsy shop HERE!  In addition to using Turkey Talk for your Thanksgiving dinner, it would be great at family suppers all month long and would make a lovely hostess or teacher gift!!

Now, for the good stuff… I am offering a finished set to one lucky reader!  The giveaway is open to US mailing addresses only.  Post a separate comment for any/all of the following and leave your email address if you don’t have a blog or profile where I can find you.  You will get one chance to win for each thing you do – that’s two chances per person!!

1. Follow my blog and leave a comment letting me know.
2. Leave a comment letting me know what you are most thankful for this year. 



The winner will be announced November 13!!

House Proud {Giveaway}

This giveaway is now closed.  Congrats Sarah on the win!  For those that didn't win, all is not lost!  Ron is giving away a second copy on his blog starting October 1!!

I love a good decorating book – both to relish the pages of over and over with a glass of wine or cup of coffee and to use as beautiful and functional pieces for adorning coffee tables, side tables and bedroom tables around my house.  House Proud: Unique Home Design, Louisiana by Valorie Hart is my new favorite - not just because of the gorgeous Southern interiors and homeowner must-dos, but also because my dear, dear friends Ron and Jeff of The Uptown Acorn blog are in chapter 7!!  Their Uptown New Orleans home is stately and gracious and jaw droppingly gorgeous and they did it all themselves.  Sister and I unfailingly await our annual visit with bated breath, and as soon as we pull up to the curb we immediately take a FULL tour of every inch of everything new.
 

Amazon says: Experience the joy of decor and design, restoration and rebirth, color and comfort - all in the enchanting locale of Louisiana. A New Orleans-based interior designer, Valorie Hart expertly leads a private tour of the most fashionable homes in the state. Sara Essex Bradley's photographs document the personality of Louisiana's homes, from the formal Greek revival house to the warm Creole cottage, the pre-Civil war beauty to the kitschy 50s-style ranch, the grand Victorian to the modern urban loft. This is not simply a design inspiration book, but rather a thoughtful compilation of homeowners' personal stories of restoring and redesigning their dream houses - the stories of the "house-proud."In addition to Debra Shriver's foreword, Hart gives her creative expertise on repurposing furniture, displaying art collections, creating extra rooms, and rethinking storage. Hart presents us with today's Louisiana homes: the feel of southern hospitality married with a look of contemporary chic.







 

I am positively delighted to be able to give away a signed copy of House Proud compliments of bestie R!!  And I’m slightly green that my own copy has not yet been signed :-)

The giveaway is open to US mailing addresses only.  Post a separate comment for any/all of the following – if you don’t have a blog, leave your email address so that I can find you.  You will get one chance to win for each thing you do – leave a separate comment for each of the things below!!

1. Like the Uptown Acorn Facebook page and leave a comment letting me know.
2. Follow the Uptown Acorn blog and leave a comment letting me know.
3. Follow my blog and leave a comment letting me know.

The winner will be announced Wednesday September 25.

Cornhole, Spikers and Koozies {HKL Designs Giveaway}

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.  CONGRATULATIONS NATALIE LEATHERBURY ON THE WIN!

What do cornhole, spikers and koozies have in common?  Well, at my house they’ve all been jazzed up by HKL Designs!! 

We absolutely LOVE cornhole around these parts!  I mean, it’s portable, it sets up in no time flat and the whole family can play.  Honey built our regulation sized boards a couple of years back and, let's face it, they were painted plain old white and had about as much vanity as a dust mop.  Well, my girl Tricia at HKL Designs got her hands on them (while Honey was away) and my love for cornhole has been elevated to a whole new level.  Helloooooo, gorgeous.



Tricia is crazy talented and has an insane attention to detail.  I could not believe my eyes when she recreated my custom monogram in vinyl!!!  Now, y’all know Honey has endless patience for my projects and really couldn’t care less about how his cornhole looks… so long as it works.  He’s a good man.  Mother and I made darling chevron cornhole bags a while back and after the seams started splitting, they mildewed, and then broke out in some sort of infestation, they HAD to be replaced.  I bought the new turquoise and gray bags from Cornhole Galaxy on etsy and they are working marvelously.



I shared my HKL spikers in our Rosemary Beach pictures.  These things were great!!  They are large enough to hold pretty much any sort of drinking vessel PLUS you can slide your iPhone or iPod right in there next to the can. 


And my latest HKL love is this PINK chevron can cooler with my monogram in PINK glitter.  Oh my!  Add the pink and white spiker and it’s just too cute for words.







School may be in session, but the days are long and hot and we still have Labor Day ahead.  For this endless summer giveaway, Tricia has offered a personalized can cooler and spiker to one lucky reader!!!  You can choose pink, blue or teal!!





There are three ways to enter and the giveaway is open to US addresses only.  Post a separate comment for any/all of the following…

1. Like the HKL Designs Facebook page and let her know Dixie Delights sent you.
2. Share an item from the HKL Designs Facebook page on YOUR Facebook page. 
3.  Follow my blog and leave a comment letting me know.

The winner will be announced Thursday August 22!



The internet is a much funnier place with the advent of these e-cards.
