{This Giveaway is now ended} Results will be announced this next Monday, December 12th!!
This is the first of TWO Christmas Giveaways!
The birth of our Savior Jesus Christ is surrounded with gift- giving!! So in the month of December, I plan (God-willing!) to do 2 Big Giveaways featuring home-crafted products!!!
The first give-away will be delightful soaps from my friends, the Lossing ladies, Karen and her daughter Emmeline (below), owners of The Victorian Rose Soap Co.
Please give a look at this post to read all about the Lossing family and their home-based business.
I love these soaps made with pure ingredients. They leave your skin feeling clean, moisturized, and they contain NO sodium laureth sulfate! Also, I love the scents! I was most curious about this as I’m very sensitive to perfume. Perfumes give me a headache and make me stuffy. They use pure essential oils.

OK! Here are the contest rules:
