I am so excited to kick of this year’s Favorite Things with some of my favorite bloggers. Have you marked 12.12.12 on your calendar so you can share your favorite things with us??
Diane from In My Own Style is here today to kick it off! I had the privilege of meeting Diane at Haven in June 
and she was every bit as wonderful as I thought she would be~Kristin and I loved hanging out with her. Let me share a few of my favorites from her blog:

You know that one of our favorite Christmas traditions is our countdown to Christmas with books. One of the most frequently asked questions is how many books do you have?? and, which are your favorites? I’ve made a list of 20 of my favorites for you today and I’ll include the links to them on Amazon, but some other great resources are the library (so you can see if you love them before you buy!), thrift stores, ebay, half.com, used books on Amazon, etc.
20. Santa Mouse by Michael Brown: this is harder to find these days because it’s an older book. My kids love it~a short, sweet story about a mouse helps Santa out. And now we leave out cheese with our cookies for Santa.
19. The Christmas Alphabet
by Robert Sabuda : this is a gorgeous pop-up book, but the paper tears easily, so it’s a read-with-a-grown-up-book that doesn’t go in the book basket with the others.

Hellooooo 320 Sycamore friends! Are you ready for a super easy, cheap, quick Christmas project? Of course you are.
Let’s go:
Here is my inspiration at Pottery Barn. We’re going to do much better than $50 though.
Happy Cyber Monday! Thank goodness we have this week before December begins~we haven’t brought a lick of Christmas out yet. Working on that this afternoon :) I’m not going anywhere today, so I’ll keep updating as I see good ones. Here are the deals I thought were worth sharing: 
* RUGS USA: 75% off! wahooooooooo!
*American Girl Cyber Monday ~they have sales about twice a year.
*Build a Bear~this seems like the best deal scenario: add 4 of these bears/animals to your cart. Then, they should give you an option to buy a $10 gift card for $5. Add that to your cart. Add code: 97989 for $10 off $30 and you should get the 4 bears, and gift card shipped for about $33. Tip on these: you can request that they come unstuffed, so the kids can take them in the boxes that they come with to the store to watch them come alive :) Also, if you don’t need all bears, think bunnies for upcoming Easter gifts?
*YoYo.com has 40% off any toy when you use code TOY40. Max discount of $40. Works on Legos, Melissa & Doug, etc.!
* Walmart has 20” boys or girls Huffy bike for $39 plus .97 shipping!

“From my mother, I learned the value of prayer. How to have dreams and believe I could make them come true. I was raised to believe that God has a plan for everyone, and that seemingly random twists of fate are all a part of His plan. My mother told me that everything in life happened for a purpose. She said all things were part of God’s plan...even the most disheartening setbacks, and in the end, everything worked out for the best. If something went wrong, she said, you didn't let it get you down: you stepped away from it, stepped over it, and moved on."
-Ronald Reagan
