Hello! Welcome to the Season’s Giving blog hop. You can find the entire list of hop participants at the end of this post. The Season’s Givings blog hop is the chance for us crafters to say thank you for reading our blog throughout the year spread the love by giving away some extra no longer used craft goodies to a new home where they will be loved. 🙂
So thank you so much for stopping by to see the projects I have shared throughout the year, and thank you for the kind and encouraging comments as well. I didn’t get as many projects shared this year or as much blogging done but thanks for sticking with me regardless. I have experienced many changes this past year, new additions to life like a new house and a new job, as well as great loss or loved ones and friends as well. Here’s to 2016 and things to come.
Leave a comment below letting me know what big event or change happened for you in 2015 or what you are looking forward to in the coming year. I will pick one winner from comments to win a slightly loved prize package. US shipping only. Leave comments by January 5th for a chance to win. I will be heading to CHA so I will pick my winner upon my return. Here is a look at the prize pack which includes some gently loved stamps from Hero Arts, Simon Says Stamp and Neat & Tangled, dies from Simons Says Stamp and Neat & Tangled and new unused paper pads from Lawn Fawn. Who knows I might even find a few more things to add to the stash! 😉

My husband was laid off permanently the last day of Nov. But wait, don't feel sorry for me as I had the best Christmas I have ever had! My family was altogether for number one and I started to receive no name Christmas cards with a gift card inside, then 2 days before christmas we received a huge box filled with a beautiful Christmas dinner. I am truly blessed to have so many people who card about me and I didn't even know it!!
Nothing really huge happened for me in 2015, but I am looking forward to moving in 2016. My husband and I are trying to move back across the country to be closer to family and friends and we think this is the year it'll happen!

Such a sweet card! This year has been challenging with new health issues, but my motto for the new year is "Do It Anyway"! Happy, Happy 2016!
I've had a fairly lengthy recovery from surgery, so i am looking forward to being more active and spending more time in the craft room!
Great card! Looking forward to moving to Tennessee this year.
My husband was diagnosed with cancer but is now in remission & my Mom is in last stages of Alzheimer's. Makes you realize what is really important & to make each moment count. I thank God, His mercies are new every morning! Happy 2016!

Happy new year!

last year I found out I was pregnant! We are awaiting the little one impatiently! Thanks for a chance to win!
Finally retired, more time to craft…Happy New Year…xx
Nothing huge happened for me in 2015. Sometimes that is a really good thing not to have any major changes. Sounds like you had some great things that happened to you and then some unfortunate ones too. Sorry for the losses your have experienced.
Thanks for being a part of this hop! It sure is one that a card/scrapbooker shouldn't miss!
HAPPY NEW YEAR and continued success for you in 2016!
My dear mother passed away in June 2015 after a long illness. I am hoping for a brighter and happier 2016 with no sadness.
No big events happened here. Trying to stay more focused this new year. Thanks so much.
I love your work. I'm looking forward to a year of SENDING more cards! Happy Year to you!
Thanks for sharing all year.
Happy New Year,
Thanks for the chance to win
your generous prize.
My biggest change this year is both my grown children are back home. It's a lot harder than I expected. My craft room is my go to place.
Hi Chari, I always love your fun cards and videos. You are so talented! I also experienced loss in 2015. My husband's twin brother passed away in August. Also, my best friend and crafting buddy moved to another state. I miss her but we still stay in touch. I'm looking forward to 2016! Wishing you a happy and blessed new year!
Absolutely ADORABLE card!!! And I gained 2 nieces and a nephew in 2015 – pretty exciting stuff!

Happy New Year Chari. Love the sweet card. Fantastic coloring on the sweet images. I invited Jesus Christ into my heart in 2015. Thanks for the sweet give-away. [email protected]
Oh my cuteness. Adorable
Love the blog you are very creative and nice prize offering thanks for the chance to win. Happy New Year! 2015 saw Our daughter get married and we have our wonderful new son in law.
Looks like a great prize and thanks for a chance to win.
Happy New Year!!
Super cute card!!
And hopefully 2016 will bring lots of happiness!
the biggest change for me was selling my house.
2015 started with the loss of a friend and ended with the loss of another friend. They were both under age 50. I'll be turning 50 next month. In 2016, my goal is to enjoy every minute of life and to be grateful for who's in it.
On the positive side, I really got into making cards for family and friends. I had started last Christmas and was instantly hooked! On the down side, I had surgery on my hand and the recovery was not smooth! I just got released from my second round of Physical Therapy, and (I am happy to say) finally functional! (It was a very l-o-n-g 9 months!)
I finally had achilles surgery in October. It's been a long healing process and hope to finally be able to walk pain free in the new year.
I just started stamping and card making in 2015, which means that 2016 looks to be an expensive year! Thanks for the chance to win!
2015 life changing events, retirement followed the next day by the loss of a sibling. Began card making – retirement is enjoyable scary. Looking to more (positive) life changing events in 2016 learning a lot of new card making techniques with the support of blogs like yours.
The biggest change for me last year was my BIG SHOT!! My hubby got it for me last Christmas and I guess you can imagine what happened after that! DIES, DIES, DIES… I went crazy! Thanks for the chance to win. Have a great time at CHA. Maybe I'll go in a few years since I love this craft so much.
Biggest change was moving to a second retirement house/city. Love the new house in Delaware and all the wonderful people I have met. Thanks for the chance to win the great prize package. Have a great new year.
Thanks for being part of this fun blog hop and for the lovely prize package!
It's hard to pick just one major thing in 2015 since my oldest son graduated from high school, my 14-year old son was confirmed in our church, and we moved into a new house my husband had spent a year and a half building! So many blessings! This year I am looking forward to growing in my card-making skills. I am hoping to grow my blog, as well, and would love if you became one of my followers! (I'm following you now!) My blog is http://carriescustomcards.blogspot.com
I just started my blog in July, and I'm really learning a lot as I enter challenges and participate in a DT over at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenges.
I wish you a very blessed 2016!
What a great way to start the year! I love this blog hop 🙂
2015 didn't bring about any big changes for me, but I'm looking forward to getting married this year!
Thanks for offering this prize package! All the best in 2016!
Thanks for being a part of this fun blog hop. Sounds like you have had a lot of changes in this year. I too started a new job in 2015. I hope that the year 2016 will be filled with many great times, experiences, and positive memories for us all.
Having a granddaughter was wonderful! HappyHappy New Year!
I'm looking forward to more blog posts and giveaways on my blog!
Cute card love Lawn Fawn. 2015 was great as my youngest turned one and watching her grow has been so fun and form a great friendship with her older sister who is 5. For 2016 looking forward to creating more and starting a blog of my own. Thanks for sharing the giveaway!
Thanks for being part of this insanely HUGE hop! My biggest change in 2015 was the marriage of my oldest son and his adoption of his wife's little girl. He is now officially her daddy and I am officially Grandma! I am looking forward to enjoying my Grandma status in 2016!!
I love this card! In 2015 I moved to a new apartment to be closer to work
Lawn Fawn has the cutest critters. The best thing of 2015 was my sister retiring and moving back to Kentucky.
The big event for our family of engineers is our son getting into First Tech. Challenge (robotics team). I love it almost as much as papercrafting. Love your work. Have fun at CHA. (june.swart(at)netzero(dot)net)
Thank you! Cheers to another year of paper crafts and fun. I always love your Lawn Fawn cards!
My very favorite big change during 2015 is that my daughter and son-in-law decided to grow their family through foster parenting with the hope to adopt. I was very lucky to be a foster-grandma to a set of two year old twins and their three year old sibling! The four months they were a part of our family were the most fun of the whole year! We look forward to more placements in the coming year…
Best thing bout 2015 is another new grand baby! Love your creations!
Love your creations! The biggest challenge for me in 2015 was dealing with changes in my health. I haven't totally met the challenge, but I'm getting there. With that said, I know how wonderful my life is and wish that everyone could feel as blessed as I do.
I am hoping i will find a new job in 2016!
Best thing for 2015 was the completion of the construction of our new home! 🙂
LOVE your card, super cute! Happy 2016!
Your cards are beautiful. I love layering. I have visited many new blogs this time and enjoyed some beautiful work. It has definitely been worth the ride. Thanks for an opportunity to win a prize.

In 2016 I'm looking forward to a trip with my husband. In 2015 I was blessed to receive many compliments on cards I made!
New to your blog. Thank you for participating in hop so I could find you! I like brightly colored cards too. 🙂 2015 had its moments (my dad passed away, hubby and son both diagnosed with degenerative, incurable medical issues) but overall I know I am blessed with wonderful friends and family and a creative streak a mile(or two) wide. 😉
Happy new year to you!
I am looking forward to getting my craft room de-cluttered and organized so that I can start using new techniques I've seen in 2015. Thank you for your very generous giveaway. Have fun at CHA!

Here's to a year of more family {and crafty} time!

Wishing you a great 2016!
I started watching my <2-year old granddaughter once a week for 24-36 hours.Turns out at this young age she love to flip through my cooking magazines and she loves to go into my craftroom and to color and stamp… pink, purple and orange are her favorite colors!
My 5th grandson was born in 2015, my youngest son was married in 2015. 2016 will be the year of us, hubby & me.
I'd rather not think of the big event from 2015 but focus on the good God will bring from that in 2016. No idea what it will be BUT I know God has great plans ahead for me. : ) Have an awesome time at CHA!
Your cards are so inspirational for me. I have stamped since 1990, but fell out of it. I got back into it recently, and your cards are very cute, and make me want to create again. My goal is to stamp and create everyday this new year.
Thank you for your inspiration.
My biggest event was buying our house. Escrow closed on December 21st and we moved in on the 23rd. But we had a lot of trouble with the bank upfront to get everything done… But everything is great now! I love it and never want to love again 😀
Happy new year and thanks for the chance to win!
Love your cards. My big event is that my fiancé and I started looking for a house-the new year will bring lots of exciting changes :). This blog hop is great!! I've been introduced to many new blogs, products and websites. Thank you.
I didn't have any big, life changing events last year and I am so glad! I hope next year is just as calm and boring. There are only so many huge events that a body can take! Happy New Year! I hope this coming year brings you many wonderful blessings.
I have nice memories but hope this year we will get better health for whole my family
I ran my first half marathon in 2015. So i want to progress in 2016 and improve my running and stay injury free 🙂
That's a really nice card! not much events has being happening lately, that's why I would hope for a more exciting new year. 🙂 Thank you so much for being a part of this blog hop, a happy new year to you!
My big thing for 2016 is I will be starting a new job, excited and a little freaked out at the same time!
My big event was getting a new roof and the house painted! Been here 22 years, so it was due! 🙂 (Thanks for such a terrific goodie gift!)

Love your blog design. I changed jobs twice in 2015. I was working in another city 4 days a week and thus had an apartment. Scrapping was tough when in 2 places. Now I work in that city one day per week and at home 3. Good bye apartment.
Happy 2016! Your card is adorable. Thanks for sharing.
I turned 55 in Nov. Yikes. lol.

A big event for me was when a recipient thanked me for the beautiful card I made for her birthday. Many people do not offer feedback.
Big event was losing one of our two sweet doggies. Breaks your heart to have to say good bye to a dog that was such a part of your life. Good event was our daughter getting her first teaching job in 7th grade science AND she asked me to help set up and decorate her classroom! Woohoo!! Your card and style is awesome!

We moved from WA to CA…after 17 1/2 years…whew…still adjusting, but 2016 looks like it's going to be great!!!
I am an admirer of your great projects… especially showcasing Lawn Fawn. Happy New Year!
Love your card designs!
A big change for me was to finally take my craftiness from a hobby to a second income! Blogging more often and opening up at Etsy store this year is in the books for me and my best friend! Looking forward to it. Wish i was going to CHA!!!
Thanks for the chance.
Hope you had a great holiday season, all the best in 2016!!
Biggest event – separated from my husband. but reading through the other comments….could have been worse! Grateful for all that God has done for me.
Chari,
It was a tough 2015 for me as well. I have had a lot of health issues, but more importantly I lost my beloved Mother the day I moved. I am still grieving and probably will be for some time. I have enjoyed your work for a long time, but this year especially and your IG posts of Penny have cheered me on many a bad day, so thank you! I appreciate you participating in this hop and for the incredible prize you are offering. Today (Jan.4th) is my birthday, and without my Mom there is no one to celebrate with, I hope to win and have it be my birthday gift. I hope and pray that 2016 is much better for both of us. Have a good trip to CHA and enjoy your time there.
Hugs,
Maureen
Hi, so my biggest thing this year is I started crafting and I started making cards in 2015
Janie. [email protected]
Wow…beautiful,colorful card,love it!Thanks for sharing and many blessings during this year!
Such a cute card! We experienced many deaths in our family this year and health scares…I hope this year we are met with less loss and better health. Happy New year!
I'm so sorry to hear that you had such a rough year. Unfortunately, life isn't always fair like that. I can relate. My husband's dear friend, whom we both knew, committed suicide 4 days before Christmas. It has been very difficult celebrating the holidays. The one good thing that kept our minds positive was making sure Christmas was good for our daughter. In 2016, I want to think positive and be the best mom I can. Thank you for participating and sharing in this blog hop and Happy New Year!!
Very cure cards and great giveaway. My big 2015 event was my mother moving from her apt 5 hours away to a retirement home 6 minutes from my house. Loving having her close but lots more responsibility for me. Crafting helps me manage my stress levels so will need to find time for crafting throughout 2016.
My biggest accomplishment for 2015, was going back to school after almost 10 years. I am setting some high standards for myself for 2016 and hope to graduate with Honors.
Wishing you an abundance of happiness, success and friendship for 2016!!!
This is my first blog hop! It's taking me some time to check out all the participants, but I'm getting there! Great way to find new sites! Thanks for your generosity & the chance to win!
Ooohhh, what wonderful stamps and dies! My big event in 2015 was taking a new job with a big company. It's a challenge but it makes me get up in the morning 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing your talent and for putting together an amazing prize package. A "big" event for me this year was conquering the Mary Jane run in WinterPark Colorado. It conquered me a couple years back and I was determined to fight back. 🙂
No great events, but a few sad ones. Hoping, like you, that 2016 will be a year full of great events! Thanks.
My biggest event was a new kidney transplanted in 2015. Still recovering, but looking forward to returning to work and living life again.
