Spring! Giveaway! (Achoo!)

ImageYay for the first day of spring! Achoo! The sun is shining, the daffodils are blooming–achoo!–and I’ve got just about the cutest book ever to give away! Achoo!

Okay, the yellow, hazy cloud of pollen accompanies spring around these parts. So amidst the sound of lawn mowers and kids playing outside is–achoo!–the call of allergy season. But even allergy season cannot dampen my love for this sweet board book by Hannah Hall.

Come to think of it, Hannah’s pretty sweet, too. You can read all about her, including my delightful review of God Bless our Easter, over at The Muffin where I blogged about both a few days ago. And as I had this sweet book, and no sweet little ‘uns to give a book to, I thought I’d welcome spring with a book giveaway. Wheeee! Achoo!

If you live in these lovely United States, you can win the book. All you have to do is leave a comment here, at THIS post, before Thursday, March 27 when I draw a winner.

And maybe you could do one more thing for me? Pass the tissues. (Achoo!)

Friday’s Fun Find: Music to Win By

ImageThere’s a very good reason why I don’t listen to music while writing.

Take this post, for instance. All I had to do was draw two names. But I’m listening to Christmas songs (Neil Diamond, to be holly-specific about it) and I keep stopping to sing along with Neil.

And then I have to remember what I’m writing and the music starts again and I begin to type to the beat and before you know it–Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining. It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth…

D’oh. The winners are Linda Schueler for Sneaky Art and Debra Mayhew for the Rainy Day Pack! Thanks for all of your comments and I’ll be in touch as soon as I finish singing.

 

Oh night…when Christ was born. Oh night, oh holy night…Oh night divine.
