Marcie is the winner of A Mother’s Book of Secrets!

Shawni,
Your blog inspires me everyday…
I can’t imagine how much your
book will do for me!
Thanks for the offer…
Keep up the great inspiration 😉

And no, I didn’t choose this person because she wrote such a nice note (although I sure do appreciate that)…I was actually proud of myself because I figured out how the heck to choose the winner from random.org. Congratulations, Marcie! Send me your address (sepphotography at gmail dot com) and I’ll send your book right away.

Thanks so much for the great response from everyone else too…I wish I could just send out a whole slew of books, but remember you can get yourself a copy just a few clicks away here.

Kristy of SoSoBella Designs has generously offered to give away one of her beautiful initial necklaces (like the one she made for Lucy) in honor of Mother’s Day.
The lucky winner will be able to request the initial and the color of little gem to add.

So go ahead and enter to win and I’ll announce the winner tomorrow.

I have never been a give-away kind of girl, but this is kinda fun!

Love, Shawni

  1. I just bought one of her necklaces for my daughter and she LOVES it. She has not taken it off yet. I could use one more for my other daughter.

  14. My 19 month old daughter had a seizure last night. We won't be celebrating mothers day much this year so to win this necklace would be great

  19. She does such a good job on those necklaces. Thanks for the chance to win!! I don't have a daughter to adorn this sweet necklace with, and it certainly wouldn't go well on either of my sons (I'm not into jewelry for boys or men), but I have a neck that would like to hang something purdy! =)

  74. Thankyou! I am so excited. I am just like you, but reversed. Four boys and one girl. This would be perfect for her. If I don't win I might just have to buy one anyway.

  75. I love this necklace! I would love to give it to my daughter–she would be thrilled to have a "big girl" necklace that's so pretty! Thanks for the giveaway!

  76. Cute!

    I would pick the initial "C" as that is the initial of our family name plus the initial of all 6 of my kids.

    And yes…..I never thought in the beginning how difficult it would be for my brain and my tongue to figure it out when calling one of them in a hurry….I end up stuttering out all of their names or a mixture of all of them. And I am not the only one. ; D

  83. That necklace is so sweet – my girl would adore it. My friend Lori went to Israel with your sister and she led me to your blog a few months ago. Over the years she would talk about this wise Eyre family and all the books and advice she's read. She doesn't even blog, but she does look at yours and is amazed at all you do. I have to agree with her. Love your thoughts and ideas – Thx!

  85. Oh the necklace would be perfect for my little girl who will be 8 soon! She is a girly girl and loves anything with her name on it!!

  95. OOO! I did the initial necklaces for my girls…before Lyndee was born. She never got one! I hope I win!!! YaY!

  120. Shawni, I just want you to know that I read your post everyday. The love you have for your family is undeniable! I too have a "special needs" child. He is now undergoing his 5th year of chemo treatments. He has relapsed for the 2nd time with Leukemia. Your words of wisdom sometimes helps me snap out of being so "blue" all the time and brings me back to the real world. I have 2 daughters that are the world to me also. I will be buying the book soon and the necklace is beautful! Keep up the inspiring words.

    That necklace is adorable. Love the little bead.
    And now that I am commenting, can I just tell you how AMAZING your photography is and how much fun it is to read your blog! You do a great job of capturing the joys of life without making it sound sugar coated. Puts a smile on my face each and every time you post!

  134. I, along with many other mothers, have seen many photos of your girls wearing their intital necklaces.

    You probably never thought much about the statement those necklaces made…until you started getting requests for information!

    Add my name to the list of mom's who would love one for a daughter.

  142. Sigh. Guess it's time for my semi-annual comment. I love your blog find that there is a lot about you I admire. Thanks.

  145. Oooh, that necklace would be fun!

    And by the way, I am on my second read-through of "A Mother's book of Secrets," Shawni.

    It's funny because I read "Teaching Children Joy" three times after I discovered it in college for a marriage and family class (my minor). That was long before I had children, mind you.

    It is so great to read another great Eyre book and have the next generation in there too!
