You Turkey...

I'm thinking a month ahead today because I made the new ad button for the November Out Of The Box Samplers website. It has the cutest turkey on it. So I was thinking that would be a great blog post. Who doesn't love turkey? I must admit we have it for just about every major holiday here at our house. But here's a few turkey's you won't be able to eat...

Thanksgiving is a wondeful holiday that you get to spend with family and friends and give thanks for everything you've been blessed with in your life. It's a time to reflect on the good things and just enjoy each other's company. I'm looking forward to it. I'd love to hear how you spend your Thanksgiving...

Raffle Ticket Winnings...

Okay, it's finally here! The picture of the raffle ticket drawing from our November holiday sampler boxes at Out Of The Box Sampler! Congratulations to Kate B. for having the winning numbers! Check this out...

Here's what's in the stash...

A grapevine star with a prim stuffed star on top from Six Peas In A Pod.

A really cute handpainted snowman wooden sign from Bless Your Heart Creations.

And lastly, a couple big tarts in Vanilla Pumpkin from Angel Made Scents.

I wish I was getting this giveaway! I'd like to thank all of our contributors for sending in these full size products too. Without their support and samples, this box wouldn't be in business!

One more thing... I had drawn 2 raffle tickets because we had so many great products to give away, but the second number was never claimed. I figured everyone had probably tossed their tickets in the can after they didn't win so I didn't want to pull another number. So here's what I decided to do...

I just took all the November box buyers names and put them into a big hat and drew a winner!!!!

And the winner is (drumroll please)

LYNN SHIRVANDEHI.

Congratulations for winning the second giveaway! And of course, I've got another picture of your goodies!

The Fickle Faerie

June from Fickle Faerie is our featured contributor today! She has the greatest item for those who want to go "green"! Just think of all those ugly plastic produce bags you fidgit with at the grocery store! Their about impossible to open and they are clogging up the landfills! No more worries, you can get these awesome reusable produce bags from Fickle Faerie.

They come in every color imaginable and in 3 different sizes: Single, Regular and Extra Large! They have cool drawstrings for easy closing too.

I just love the color black, so these bags are perfect for me!

June also makes gift bags for all your holiday needs. Do you want to wrap your Christmas goodies in just ugly paper? No! Put them in these unique gift bags and show your gift's the love they deserve.

There's one more unique item that the Fickle Faerie has that I just learned a new name for...it's the scoodie! That's a cross between a scarf and hoodie. You will love this item and it will keep you toastie on those cold winter snowfilled nights.

What a great gift idea! Grab one for yourself and two for your friends. In doing so, you'll be supporting the "Handmade Revolution"! Take the pledge to buy handmade this year for the holidays!

The Fickle Faerie will be in our November Holiday Boxes, so some of you will get to enjoy and try out those reusable produce bags, then you can stop in and buy some more!

That's So French!

I'm going to try to feature a different contributor to the boxes here everyday for the upcoming November Holiday Boxes! So I'm starting with Chabot Savonnerie.

When this business signed up to participate in the sampler boxes, I was so excited! Their products look incredible on the website! They are so professional done and presented. Here's their motto:

Our bath and body products are handcrafted in small batches to ensure quality. Loaded with skin moisturizing oils and butters and richly scented, our soaps and lotions will leave your skin soft and smooth - the way nature intended!

They make all their own products and carry shower gels, hand washing soap and just plain old bar soap. Although, I wouldn't call their bar soaps plain at all!

They have incredible scents available like:

Sugarplum

Peppermint Candy Cane

Pumpkin Pie

Rum Cake

Lemon Poppyseed

Cranberry

Almond

Spicy Chai

and Vanilla Mocha

I can't wait till their samples arrive! And if your lucky enough and buy a November holiday sampler box from Out Of The Box Sampler, you may get one of Chabot Savonnerie's samples!!

Also, remember that if you post comments on our blogs, you'll be entered into the drawings to win full size products from our contributors!
