The Gratitude Blog Hop and Giveaway!


I would like to thank Iamareadernotawriter and all-consuming books for hosting this giveaway. I have so much to be grateful for and sometimes, I don't think I always show it. But I praise God for all His wonderful blessings on me and my family. I praise Him for all the wonderful friends He has sent my way through good times and difficult times. I thank Him for my health, my wealth and my life.

For this giveaway, I will donate 25 dollars to the winner's favorite charity. I only ask that the charity deals with either children and families of abuse/addiction, homelessness, poverty or children's education.

I will also send a children's book to a child in need on the winner's behalf. Winner may choose where the book should be sent to, ie to a shelter, library or to them so they can give it to a child in need.

Please leave a comment below with name and contact info so that I may contact you if you are the winner :)

    If I should win, I'd like the money to go to Habitat for Humanity, and the book, Harold and the Purple Crayon, to go to your local shelter.

    I don't have a specific giveaway to be donated to but I'd love if I won for the money to be donated to any kind of homeless shelter. My dad has been homeless in TX for the last 5 months and it really bothers me :( (he lived here for awhile but he refuses to come back) He paints out there but its on an island that is super expensive so hard to get on his feet! So homeless shelter that includes "men" as well as women! Great idea on your gift! For book donations I'd be fine for any organization in need of books, my son especially liked "Pat, the bunny" My personal fav when I was small was Goldilocks and the Three Bears :)

    I like this idea. I work at a private alternative school. WE work with students who have been kicked out of regular schools for a variety of reasons. I hope that would be an acceptable charity. I would also love to donate the child's book to our local library. Thank you
