This giveaway is now closed! Thank you to everyone who participated! I was amazed at all the response I got and I enjoyed reading every comment.
Congratulations to Leigh and Carol, the two giveaway winners! I have sent you both an email.
Today is Giveaway Day at the Sew Mama Sew blog. I am so excited to be participating this year, as this is also my very first blog giveaway! For my giveaway, I have two rice bags for two lucky winners. Rice bags are great for keeping warm, or for aches and pains. You can warm them up in the microwave to use as heating pads, or you can freeze them for ice packs. I like using them at night to warm my bed up so my feet don't get cold. They are functional and pretty!
The big one is 10 by 7 inches and the small one is 6 by 6 inches.

-Giveaway open until Friday, December 7th at 7 p.m. CST.
-I will choose two winners - one will win the big rice bag, the other will win the small one.
-Winners will be selected randomly and announced here on Sunday, December 9th.
-To enter, simply leave a comment answering this question: What is your favorite Christmas tradition?
