Austenland by Shannon Hale Giveway

24 Mar, 2010 by in Shannon Hale 10 comments

Hardback: 208 pages
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA; Reprint edition (May 27, 2008)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1596912863

From School Library Journal
Adult/High School—Thirty-three-year-old Jane Hayes, who has a fairly serious addiction to the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice, inherits a trip to Pembrook Park, Kent, England, the location of a resort where guests dress, talk, think, and act in ways that Jane Austen would approve. Refusing to lie about her age, even on vacation in a place right out of Austen’s England, Jane finds herself quickly overcoming the obsession with Mr. Darcy that may very well have jeopardized her 13 “relationships” over the years. Left to walk in last to dinner, mildly obsessed with one of the hotel’s gardeners, and annoyed by another guest’s overeager attempts to bag a man, Jane is eager to return to Manhattan. Then she decides to give it all one more chance, since Great-Aunt Carolyn did see fit to pay for the entire vacation. Hale does a lovely job with the tale of a single woman who would appreciate a genuine shot at love. The book is well written, quite readable, and the myriad characters, especially those working at the resort, are quirkily funny. Given the immense popularity of Jane Austen’s novels among teen girls, this book definitely has cross-over appeal.—Sarah Krygier, Solano County Library, Fairfield, CA

Shannon has done it again, Austenland was one of my favorite reads of 2009. I absolutely loved this book! It is refreshing and without any questionable filler. Makes me want to rent Pride and Prejudice with Collin Firth! Hale’s plot had me guessing until the end. Austenland is a gem. Thanks so much to Shannon Hale @haleshannon for tweeting this 🙂 You are the best… I gave this soon to be movie Five stars!

To Enter to win the hardback: leave your name below+3 entries for each dollar donated to our Chile relief fund via Paypal to heatoddgardner@yahoo.com

Winner will be drawn Monday March 29th and it is open to International Entries.

Chile Relief Update

24 Mar, 2010 by in terremoto 1 comment

Many of you have been asking me about the Chile relief efforts we have going. I started out just wanting to help a couple of families and now it has grown. We have giveaways going for all who donate. To date we have sent 11 boxes of aid to Talca, San Miguel, and Llo Lleo, Chile. They went to families I knew there and are being directly distributed to those affected by the earthquake.

We have six more boxes ready to go but I am waiting for shipping donations as each box costs $55 to send via flat rate priority mail. We will keep sending as fast as we can! Recently we had another request from my friends in Maipu, Chile. They would like to work together with us to distribute aid. If you can contribute even a dollar, we have a fund set up at PayPal under the email heatoddgardner@yahoo.com 100% of the funds go directly to Chile. Or, if you want to donate items…here are supplies we have been asked for:

seeds
rain gear
tarps
ziploc baggies
winter clothes
non-perishable food items
formula
diapers
hygiene kit items: trial sized shampoo, combs, soap, razors, toothbrushes, wash cloths etc.
toys
Spanish books
survival items

Contact me via email for addresses of where to send the items. Thanks so much. This has been a wonderful experience and I have enjoyed hearing from those I love in Chile. They have asked us to pray that the winter rains don’t arrive before they can get shelter put together for those living outdoors. Fuerza CHILE!

Girl Eats Cupcake Pouches

23 Mar, 2010 by in etsy, pouches 20 comments




Today’s Chile relief giveaway is for one of four handmade pouches from Etsy seller GirlEatsCupcake! Hello there! I’m Kelsey.

My first encounter with sewing was back in middle school. After mama taught me how to use her old machine, my aunt helped me with my first project- a blanket which I still use today!
I slowly started sewing again in high school making book bags and the likes, and I’ve been at it ever since.

Aside from sewing, I love to read and bake, as well as paint and draw when I can find the time.

I love to put smiles on faces, and I hope my shop does that for you!

Find me at these other places!

Books4Bonkhe Handmade Journal

17 Mar, 2010 by in world vision 13 comments

Todays’ St. Patty’s Day Parade starts off with a handmade journal by: Books4Bonkhe which. The store was inspired by Bonkhe Magagula, the 9 year old boy in Swaziland that she sponsors through World Vision. Here’s what books4bonkhe has to say…Since I already enjoy making things, I figure I can do my part to help out by giving a little extra to people who need it.

The idea behind it is that I make journals (or other items) that I sell here, and I donate the proceeds to World Vision to help build schools, wells, or just help to improve the overall quality of countries in need.

4x6x1 inch Journal made from recycled box of Bottle Caps (the candy).
Light blue inside.
20 (40 front and back) cream card stock pages, hand-torn.
Pages attached by silver curvy ribbon, tied on the inside with a bow.

Works great as a quote book, small scrapbook, guestbook, or journal.

100% of sales price goes to Earthquake Relief through World Vision!
