I'm so excited for you guys today! We have an awesome giveaway for you, but first you get to here a little about my life. This weekend was Chris' birthday, he turned the big 23! We threw a little birthday bash at his parents house that was filled with cake eating, card playing, and Mario Party domination. It was pretty great. I made the cake and I wish I had taken a picture of it because I am a terrible cake decorator. It tasted pretty good anyway.
Okay, I know you all care about the giveaway and what you might win so go on and read ahead!

I’m Jennifer McFadden from Jen’s Wreaths. Jen’s Wreaths is our family business. We live in Deer River, Minnesota and make
fresh balsam fir wreaths at our farm.
We’ve been at this almost 8 years now and we started this when we were
both in our early 20’s. We just wanted
to earn some extra cash, so I thought I’d try making wreaths like I did as
young child. It’s obviously worked out
well & far above our wildest expectations!
Our desire to earn a few extra dollars has evolved into a full-time
seasonal business. This all started with
a few wreaths in the back of a pick-up truck and a delivery to one
customer. Today we ship thousands of
wreaths coast to coast, and serve many customers.
So what does it mean to be a family-owned business? This means several things to us, The McFadden
Family. To us a family-owned business
means we’re small enough to care about each one of our customers. Our customers are more than numbers on a
piece of paper. Many have been loyal to
us from early on in our endeavor and we enjoy chatting with them annually. We’re also able to do the little things
like: handwritten gift cards and special
customizations. We’ll switch a bow and
put on another design if that’s what they really want.
A family-owned business is also
challenging. To us it means having an
office in our home, converting our garage into a wreath shop seasonally, and
working with our extended family. An
office in the home makes balancing kids and business difficult at times. We’ve been blessed with many family members
with great work ethic, but still we bump heads (so to speak) sometimes. We have my husband’s sister, brother, &
dad working for us. On my side my mom, 2
nieces, and aunt work for us. The most
important thing besides getting the job done is getting the job done and
maintaining good family relationships.
Finally, you just can’t beat a real, fragrant wreath. Our wreaths are made fresh and our balsam is
picked right here in the North Woods of Minnesota. We pick our limbs sustainably and keep future
generations in the forefront of our minds when harvesting. I realize these wreaths don’t last from year
to year. However, if you buy a fresh
Christmas wreath and try it, I guarantee you’ll never go back to those fake,
plastic ones.
Click on over and I know
you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
