"Hi! Its Stacie from Gingiber! To tell you a bit about myself: I am an artist currently living in Arkansas. I love to doodle happy little critters and characters, bake terribly unhealthy things, and spend time with my sweet family.
If you are like me, the crisp fall air brings the desire to snuggle in a big armchair, sip some cocoa, and dream away ideas while sketching in my notebook. Yet time rarely allows for such a luxury, as I am generally on the go. Instead, I decided to make some mini notebooks that fit easily into my back pocket and be on the go with me! Each handmade notebook features a different forest animal with a great graphic pattern.
And to make this giveaway even more fun, I have also decided to give away one of my favorite handmade plush animals, Olive the Owl. Hopefully she will be a happy companion for one of you lucky readers! You will find even more fun handmade plush animals, as well as an assortment of prints and cards at my etsy shop, Gingiber!
To enter this giveaway, leave a comment with your favorite Fall tradition. A winner will be chosen on Monday!xoxo,
Rachel

Such cute notebooks, and the owl is ADORABLE! It would be the perfect gift for my niece, who loves owls (and just had an owl-themed first birthday!).
Fun!

Oops, left off my favorite fall tradition. Baking. Somehow it's just more fun to bake in Autumn. Weird?
At the beginning of every fall, we revert to summer and carve watermelons instead of pumpkins! It's a blast and so much more fun to eat!
My favorite fall tradition would have to be dressing up for Halloween. I trick-or-treated well into high school and still have to remind myself that I'm TOO OLD. But I still wear costumes, and love them.
fun! favorite fall tradition, planning our halloween/birthday party for my youngest son!
My favorite fall tradition is going for a family walk in the forest right around (Canadian) Thanksgiving (:
My favorite fall tradition is carving pumpkins. And opening the door to find adorable trick-or-treaters and making them smile with candy :)
These are so beautiful! I tried pumpkin carving for the first time last year (no-one does that in Australia, or really does a lot to celebrate Halloween at all) but my husband and I decided to have a carve-off, it was great fun! New tradition alert :)
my fav fall tradition is hot apple cider! yum..
I love, love, love piling up leaves and jumping into them. It's my favorite thing. Now I have to go up to the mountains to do that, but I love it none the less!
my favorite fall tradition is sewing halloween costumes!
Dressing up our house in Halloween style. My sis and I started doing that the moment we got our own place and it's our little tradition :-)
Okay....I really hope I win!
My favorite fall tradition started four years ago. It's a Chili and Pumpkin Carving Party. I make home made chili with tons of optional fixins to add in. The guests bring any favorite autumn side dishes. Then we carve our pumpkins. It's lovely. And I can't wait for the party this year.
hmmm tradition...probably picking apples, and making a pie that night out of some of them, and then apple sauce with the rest!
i adore so many fall traditions that it's difficult to choose a favorite...
but i think the best one for me is when my beloved makes the first batch of butternut squash soup from scratch.
awwwh cute critters! I came upon your work somewhere before, fab stuff!
My favorite english autumn tradition is collecting conkers, they are so pretty and smooth! It feels great to peel them out of their shell :)

My favorite fall tradition is watching "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!"
The owl is just lovely!
My fav tradition is definitely sipping hot cider with friends at the local coffee house, can't beat that as a way to wind down <3
My favorite fall tradition is taking all my friends to a local pumpkin patch and taking the funnest hayride through huge hills and tons of mud to pick pumpkins!
Even though my kids are too big to play in the Kid Area, we still go to the local orchard as a family, watch the little kids play, listen to some great live music (often involving stringed instruments!), and take a hayride through the apple orchard to the pumpkin patch where we each search for our favorite pumpkin. Hub then carves pumpkins with the kids following there interpretations and comes up with something wacky for his own. Last year he did the big jack biting the small jack. We had so many people ask to take its picture!
I'm looking forward to doing this in the next two weeks :)
That owl, so cute and I have a weakness for anything paper :-)
My favorite fall tradition, besides the baking, is our big family apple picking trip. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins all get together for some "organized chaos" and memory making. And of course all the picking still leads to baking so I"m double happy. :-)
What a sweet owl! My favorite fall tradition is getting out all of my scarves and being excited to wear them again :)
Visiting the apple orchard!
We like to explore the hills near our house in fall.. watch the leaves change colors. Since having kids raking and leaf pile jumping has become a fun tradition.
there's a fall festival i always go to. it's called harvest homecoming. i love getting an apple dumpling and walking through the festival on a cool autumn night.
I love watching scary movies on Halloween Eve, but this year we have a little one, guess we'll be starting new traditions:)
I think we are starting a new one this evening, tonite the family and I are decorating for Halloween and then having a little marshmallow and hotdog roast!

And my favourite fall tradition is drinking lots and lots (and lots) of tea and taking long walks in the park (and dressing in autumn colours only).

My favorite tradition would have to be getting up early on the day after Thanksgiving with my aunt. Sometime we dont really buy anything but I love spending time with her.

Lovely! Owls and journals are my favorite! My favorite fall tradition is drinking apple cider and then playing in the leaves! We do it every year, except this year as a newlywed my sweet Mr. can come too!

I LOVE these critter designs - and the owl is adorbs! Someone's about to be quite lucky.
