Memoir of Me Winner!! & a gift-giving frenzy!

I used random.org to select the winner.

#3 was Carrie!!!  I am emailing you now.

Thank you to everyone who entered and thank you to Memoir of Me for hosting this great giveaway!

Memoir of Me is also participating in a gift-giving frenzy of 99 books in 33 days.

Here is an explaination taken directly from the Memoir of Me blog:

This January 2010, I am launching a Memoir of Me gift-giving frenzy called 99 books in 33 days.  Sharing stories is what Memoir of Me does best.  Personal stories.  Your stories.  The greatest gifts I have to offer are my Memoir of Me keepsake books.  To celebrate, we are giving away 99 books in 33 days.

I ask all of you to share your personal stories. Your stories can be touching, tragic, funny, or sweet about your child or a special child you know.  I’ll take these stories and turn them into Memoir of Me books for the children that are nominated.  The goal is to give three books each day for 33 days.

The inspiration behind 99 books in 33 days is Cami Walker who wrote the book “29 Gifts in 29 Days.”  She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and spent late 2006 and early 2007 in the hospital.  She’d been down and out when a friend suggested that she give 29 gifts in 29 days to help her feel better.  Cami’s gifts ranged from sharing thoughtful insights with friends to giving a bigger-than-usual tip to a server.  In giving her first gifts, Cami’s health and mood took an upward swing.  The energy of her gifts reignited her spirit.  By the end of her 29 gifts, her life had significantly changed for the better.  Cami’s story shows that the impact in the power of giving.  

To nominate a child all you have to do is send the name of the child and story tomichelle.lebow@memoirofme.com, Twitter @memoirofme, Facebook Michelle Nelson LeBow or Youtube @MemoirOfMe77.  Please include an address in which to ship the book or gift certificate.  Some of the stories may even end up right here on the Memoir of Me blog, Facebook, Twitter or Youtube.  

What a great idea, right?  If you know a child who deserves such a gift consider nominating them today!

And let's not forget, congrats to Carrie!
