.A Give-Away Bonanza to Get Habi Home. CLOSED
GIVE_AWAY_CLOSED!!
[In order to not violate my Blog-Her contract, this give-away must be published here.]
We have about $3000 remaining to fund getting Habi here and the final fees for the amazing agency who has helped us. In 3.5 hours, we leave for the airport to head back to Ethiopia. We are believing that in two weeks we will be returning with our Habi beside us. This give-away would not be possible without the hard work of my sweet friend, T. She has been in the trenches with us from the very first moment I told her we were adopting - the first time. She has been my sounding board, my shoulder to cry on, my prayer warrior, and one of the biggest cheerleaders in the crazy twists and turns God is taking our life on. She never bats an eyelash when she hears the next big dream God has put into our hearts. T is invaluable, and this give-away is all thanks to her organizing it.
This give-away is simple. The winner gets everything listed below! Donate $5 and you get one entry. Donate $10 and you get two entries, etc. You can get one extra entry after you donate, if you simply share this give-away on your social media. PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT EVRY TIME YOU DONATE $5 (and if you share on your social media), SO WE KNOW TO ADD YOUR NAME TO THE DRAWING.
When we get home from Ethiopia, we will have Habi draw one name for the winner! Give-away ends, Friday, July 13, 2012.
The following is what the winner will recieve!
1. An adorable little clutch from Tukula!
2. A fun headwrap from Tukula!
3. A $50 gift card to Beautiful Brown Eyed Girl Boutique (Amy just stocked up on a ton of new fabrics in her shop)!
4. A thick silicone cuff from 147 Million Orphans that reads 147 Million Orphans Matthew 25:40 (The one pictured, sealed in plastic is the one the winner will recieve. I took a photo of mine to show better what it looks like.)
5. A navy unisex size XL tee from 147 Million Orphans. (Front)

6. A Women's V-neck tee size M from 147 Million Orphans.

9. A bag of whole coffee beans that we will bring back with us from Ethiopia! (not pictured)

.Digital Scrapbooking Software GIVE AWAY.
GIVE AWAY NOW CLOSED. WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY!
When I had my Cadi I had grandiose plans of scrapbooking my way through her entire childhood. Um...yeah. Then life happened. I still took photos, and I still recorded memories. However, I began to blog my way through her childhood and through Scotty's and now through Jamesy's as well. And while that is wonderful, I do not blog everything that I would scrapbook. I have tried a few times to get past the first few pages of Cadi's album, but the mess, the chaos, the time consuming-ness of it is just too much for this phase of my life. I love the creativeness involved, and I love having a way to preserve childhood and family life. I have toyed around with scrapbooking on Photoshop, but that was almost as time-consuming as traditional scrapbooking. While I do not have hours to sit on the floor and cut and paste and stick and decorate scrapbook pages, I do not have hours to sit at my computer dragging my mouse here and there either. Having said that I could not justify in investing into digital scrapbooking software....until now.
I was contacted by an amazing digital scrapbooking software company - My Memories. I immediately downloaded my software, which was really, really easy. I was nervous that I would have to get Jim's help - ha! But I did it, and it was very self-explanatory. I quickly looked through the program, and I was really, really impressed with how user friendly the software was. This coming from a girl that took TWO years to find her way around Photoshop! The software has really cute templates, but is virtually unlimited in what a person can custom create. I wanted to show busy moms how quick and easy it is to scrapbook memories, so I sat down and in literally five minutes whipped this out.
This program seems as if it would be perfect for both inexperienced and experienced scrapbookers alike. I was very impressed with the product!
And I am thrilled to be able to give away one complete My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbooking Software to one of my readers! This program retails for $39.97, and is very much worth the money.
Here's how to win:
1.Please visit My Memories website and choose your favorite digital paper pack or layout, and then return here and leave one comment. This will give you one entry in the give away. (Please make sure you leave contact info., so that I can get ahold of the winner.)
2. For additional entries go to my blog and follow me there or here on facebook; blog, facebook, or tweet about this give-away on your own sites and link it here, or follow My Memories here, here, or here. Leave one comment for each additional entry telling me what you did! (A person could have a total of nine entries!) PLEASE LEAVE ONE COMMENT FOR EACH ENTRY.
The contest will run until Saturday, August 20, 2011 at 3 PM EST and the winner will be announced here and contacted soon after. This offer is only available to people in the US and Canada.
As a bonus My Memories has also given me a coupon code to pass on to my readers! This provides a $10 discount off the purchase of the My Memories Suite Scrapbook software and a $10 coupon for the MyMemories.com store! Simply use this code STMMMS71952 at check out!
