March Giveaway Winners



At the end of each month, I like to feature the winners of that month's Giveaways — in an effort to help the Design Mom community make a few connections — and to give a little shout out to the fine winners. (It's all voluntary of course, If you're a winner and would rather remain relatively anonymous, I promise not to post about you.)

Check out these lovely ladies!!:

Winner of the $50 Gift Certificate to My Charmed Life:

Beth of Folding Laundry
My name is Beth, from Northern Indiana. I have been married for almost 8 years and have 2 children — an energetic 4 year old girl and a lovable 3 year old boy. (They are 360 days apart!) I spend my free time volunteering for Friends of Heroes and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Wanting to offer support, Friends of Heroes originally started over the internet by a group of moms wanting to find a cure for pediatric blood cancer patients. I have been volunteering for close to 4 years now and devote 10-20 hours per week from home on this national organization. Together, we raised over $844,000 and earned 3 pediatric cancer research grants in our honor!

I LOVE to blog, which is what I do in my spare time. I enjoy the community of mothers created by fellow bloggers and I love to learn and honor the differences between women and mothers. I also enjoy shopping (a lot), taking pictures, and a good cup of coffee.


Winner of the Urban Botanic Custom Scent Beauty Package:

Sarah Starr Smith
I am an Herby, (according to the UB personality test). Here is a little of what that means: "An Herby's favorite place to be is at home. They're happiest there when a friend is with them, relaxing on the porch with a cup of tea, talking about the latest drama in life. Herbies feel deeply for others have the gift of empathy. They are very sincere when they encourage others; they genuinely want people to succeed." Yes, I'm a porch girl. It is a great place for me to get centered and connect with friends that pass by. I am also pretty Fruity with equal parts Leafy, Floral, and Woodsy, with just a pinch of Spice.

I live in Valhalla, New York with my husband, Dave and baby boy, Malcolm. The biggest thing for our family right now is getting ready to move to Cleveland, Ohio in a few months. I heart NY and will miss it. I'm getting excited to design a new space, although it's looking like I will be taking down some wallpaper, ahh! I love making things. Right now my projects involve knitting, sewing, and writing. I love to read and talk about it. I love to make guacamole and eat it too!


Winner of the Yoon Kids Custom Wall Art:

Dalene Rowley:
I'm Dalene Rowley, but I channel my latent OCD as Compulsive Writer. After growing up in the Pacific northwest, I traded the lush green of the Willamette Valley for the majestic mountains of the Wasatch Front. My husband, a third-grade teacher, and our four fun kids and I live in beautiful Provo, Utah.

During my adult life I graduated in English and French, worked for a year as an editor and writer for a local newspaper, then got busy being a mom. When my youngest child entered school two years ago, I went to work as a quality assurance supervisor for a press clipping service company. Other hats I wear include the following: soccer mom, band mom, choir mom, softball mom, quilter, sister, gardener and friend.

Oh, and when it comes down to blogging just a few minutes longer or doing the dishes, blogging wins almost every time.

Thanks for your posts. I don’t know if you’re familiar with Maya & Miguel, a show on PBS in the afternoons -- http://pbskidsgo.org/mayaandmiguel -- that emphasizes cultural diversity and language learning but I’m reaching out to talk to parents about the program as part of a marketing project I’m working on with Scholastic.

I found your post and thought I’d reach out to say hello and ask if you’d like to receive a free Maya & Miguel DVD. If you’d like to receive the DVD just email me at Kerri@boldmouth.com with your address and I’ll have it shipped it out to you.

If you do choose to blog about Maya & Miguel show or episodes on the DVD, please make it clear how you received the information. Our goal is to be open and honest with everyone we reach.

Kerri Roberts, BoldMouth
