Have A Very Lovely Green Christmas

December 23, 2009 6

Hello, Friends! Are you ready for Christmas? Can you believe that it is in 2 days? By the time you read this, Eben and I will be in Utah. We will be staying in my childhood home in Liberty, Utah. Liberty is a small mountain community in the Ogden Valley and my parents home is nestled between Wolf Mountain Ski Resort and Pine View Reservoir. It is a beautiful place and I am excited to go home again. It will be lovely to see the snow covered mountains and frozen water. (I will take pictures to share with you.) We will be spending time baking goodies with my sister and her three adorable children on Christmas Eve and enjoying brunch and exchanging gifts with my entire family at my sister’s home on Christmas morning.

The remainder of my visit will be spent at the mister’s mother’s home. They live at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon in Salt Lake City. I always feel so relaxed at my mother in law’s home, it is always warm and cozy and this year the mister’s brother and his son, and Eben’s cousin will be spending the entire time there with us. Eben can’t wait to hang out with a cousin his exact age! 

Our stay in Utah sounds pretty laid back and relaxed, which is perfect for this time of year. I want to wish all of you a lovely holiday weekend, I hope you enjoy yourselves and your time with your family. I hope you have time to relax and enjoy the moment. I look forward to another wonderful year at Sweet Greens and would like to thank you for your love and support. I will talk to you again on December 29th.

How are you spending Christmas?
What traditions does your family celebrate?

On The 12th Day of Etsy… Bike Burrito Giveaway

December 22, 2009 41

♫ my true love gave to me one bike burrito, ♫ a fantastic recycled baby bib, ♫ a lovely pair of recycled earrings, ♫ a beautiful pair of handmade shoes, ♫ a couple of sweet little cases, ♫ fabulous natural skin care, ♫ a beautiful organic double v shirt, ♫ a fab alphabet pillow made from recycled suits, ♫ a handful of sweet upcycled heart felts, ♫ three lovely reclaimed wooden handcrafts, ♫ two calling handmade upcycled bird ornaments, ♫ and a fantastic stocking made from men’s recycled suits. ♫

Giveaway number 12 is a fabulous, fabulous Bike Burrito. Are you familiar with Bike Burritos? Do you ride your bike? Mr. Sweet Greens and I do quite often and I think I see Bike Burritos in our future. Are you asking, “What is a Bike Burrito?” In Jayme’s (the designer) words, ‘The Bike Burrito is a funky twist on the classic bike tool roll. It is designed to carry your bike essentials in style!’ Isn’t that great?

Jayme Bassett collaborated with her friend Russ Roca in December 2008 and came up with the Bike Burrito. Their main goal was to provide cyclists with a classy and functional alternative to carry their bicycle accessories in style. The Bike Burritos come in tweeds, plaids, quirky patterns and are all lined with a long lasting canvas interior. Lovely, no? Wouldn’t these make fantastic gifts?

Jayme lives in Long Beach, California with her boyfriend and their three cats. They are both car free individuals and do everything by bicycle and/or public transit. Fabulous! The first trip that really defined their relationship was a two week bicycle tour down the Oregon Coast. How fitting. I love it, I want to go on a two week bicycle tour with the mister.

The winner of this giveaway will receive a regular Bike Burrito that contains 3 pockets perfect for a spare tube, multi-tool and some spare wrenches. I think this is something that everyone who rides their bike should have and the best part, it looks fantastic.

A huge thank you to Bike Burrito for hosting this lovely giveaway.
