Because we love you, we have a prize package just in time for Valentine’s Day. And because you love us, you’re going to show your support by trying win free stuff!
Chicken Soup for the Soul: True Love giveaway
First is a Chicken Soup for the Soul: True Love. I have a story about my grandparents in this book and am giving away one of my copies I got from the company. There are lots of inspirational stories about love throughout the book, and it’s a really sweet thing for the entire year, not just Valentine’s day. People ask me how both I and my daughter got published in different Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Well, all you have to do is go to the Chicken Soup website, and make an entry. Most people like me make multiple entries. Alexis got her one and only story published right away of course. Joy keeps talking about making a submission one day but unless they have a Chicken Soup for the Bitter, Sarcastic Soul, we’re out of luck.
Second is a box of Blessue Tissue. This brand donates a percent of each box to breast cancer research and has the cutest boxes ever. There is a whole line for baby nurseries. I got mine at Walgreens. We try to support any company that fights cancer, especially breast cancer. (plus my husband’s neice’s husband has a part in the business.) They also have a website and a Facebook page.

Third, is a little gift box that has two red velvet scented lotions and a soap tucked inside a recipe box. I’ve never smelled the scent so I can’t vouch for it, but I did think it was terribly cute and Red Velvet is kind of a theme around here.
Red Velvet Lotion
We keep things simple, so all you have to do is leave a note on this post. Your email address is never shared or posted. If you repost this on Twitter or Facebook and leave a note about it, that is another entry. You can enter once per day of the contest.
Get in the mood for love and enter our contest! *contest ends on Feb. 1, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m.*

This is a very cute website, may the Lord continue to bless you and your family. I’m all about love and romance(even though my husband didn’t get that when the Lord handed it around) ha ha I try to keep enough going for the both of us.

So sweet.
I pointed my mom towards this site last week, but I don’t know if she’s made it here yet. I’ll remind her!

Chicken Soup for the Bitter, Sarcastic Soul? I imagine they’d get TONS of entries if they actually came out with that! LOL

Ever since my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, I always look for ways of supporting this great cause. I got accepted into the “Sister Study” and will be followed by those doctors for the next 10 years. They came to my house and got samples of dust and even a clipping of one of my toenails….talk about your dirty jobs, lol.
January 25, 2010 at 9:00 pm
This is an awesome website. I enjoy seeing what new adventures of peoples lives and recipes you both have posted. This site is a blessing to all.

Chicken soup for the Bitter, Sarcastic Soul would be my only hope, too!

Dena,
I stumbled upon your blog tonight, and I love it already! I’m married to a man who cooks a million times better than me, though I’m a better baker than he is! I like all of the gifts that you are giving away!
And your recipes on one of the other pages here are fantastic!

I would love to be considered for this! The Chicken Soup series is one of my favorites, and Red Velvet cake just happens to be one of my recent sinful delights, tho’ this would be better cuz it’s calorie-free, lol!

As parents to three toddlers ages 2, 3 and 4…sometimes it is easy to forget about my “true love” so it would nice to focus on this for a bit. Thanks for the chance to win this great giveaway! I really do appreciate it!
