We have a Winner!!

...and the winner is...

Elizabeth - who is not a blogger. Elizabeth, thanks to Random.org, your name was chosen and you will now have a wonderful read for the summer!

Hadassah, One Night With the King

(the story of Esther)

Enjoy!

There will be another summer giveaway soon! "Stay tuned!"

A Summer Book Giveaway!!

I love these giveaways because I get to meet so many new people...like you!

Gretchen over at Jewels in My Crown...Someday is hosting this book giveaway and so I decided to participate!

Here is what I will be giving away:

Hadassah, One Night With the King

(the story of Esther)

This is a wonderful book!

"A gripping action-adventure story full of political intrigue and suspense, with a brand-new perspective on a historical figure you may think you already know!"

"Both a palace thriller and a Jewish Woman's Memoir, Hadassah brings the age-old story of Esther to life. This historically accurate novel layered with fresh insights provides a fascinating twist on a pivotal time in religious history, and readers will find it bursting with page-turning drama."

Have you seen the movie? If not, see it! But, this book will take you deeper than the movie. Tommy Tenney's writing has a way of making you feel you are there. I love it.

I know you will too!

All you have to do is leave a comment with your name and a way to reach you. You do not have to have a blog to enter. But, if you do not have a blog, please please make sure I can reach you!!

The drawing will be open until Monday, June 30th, when I will announce the winner. (chosen by random.org)

Also, you can visit the above link to enter for other great summer reads.

Have fun!

Bloggy Giveaway #2

Okay so here is my 2nd giveaway. (Be sure and check out giveaway #1 as well!)

I have a gourmet candle business that I run from my home. We have lots of different candle and bath/body products.

But, I thought I would giveaway one of our Cinnamon Bella Bun candles. You can see what it looks like here. I figured this is a great time of year, being that it is Fall, for someone to burn one of these. It smells just like there are cinnamon buns in the oven...without the calories!

All you have to do is leave a comment here...tell me about one of your family traditions for Thanksgiving. I will pick the winner based on your traditions and you will have your new Bella Bun to burn by Thanksgiving.

There is no need to enter more than one and you don't have to have a blog to enter. US residents only please.

Oh and don't forget to check out this site to enter LOADS of other giveaways. Did I mention they are all FREE? Oh what fun!!

Bloggy Giveaway #1

Yea! The Fall Y'all Bloggy Giveaway carnival is officially underway. It actually began yesterday, but I'm a little late as you can see. All you have to do to take part in this fun, FREE contest is visit here and check out the list of participants. Click on their link and enter their FREE contests!
But, first check out my giveaway below.

Ever heard of BOZ the Bear? Well, he is like another member of our family around here and has been since my daughter was about 10 mos. old. She LOVES her BOZ...actually that is the first and only word she knows how to spell right now. :o)

"Preschoolers have a new friend...BOZ!"

"As a parent, you want your preschooler to have a strong foundation for life.

That's why we created BOZ.

It is the only DVD series that combines the important everyday

elements of faith, family, fun and education.

BOZ helps reinforce the values you are already teaching your child."

I urge you to give BOZ a try if you haven't already. Your children will love it!

So, my first giveaway is for 1 BOZ the Bear book. You can go here to view all of his products and a list of his books.

All you have to do is leave a comment here and on Friday morning, Nov. 2, I will randomly pick a name and send you your new book. Please leave only one comment and a way to reach you. You don't have to have your own blog to enter. Oh and only US residents please.

Stay tuned for my 2nd giveaway later today!
