Giveaway Winner!

Hi everyone! Nights in Rodanthe was finally released on dvd today! I know, that's not exciting for most of you- but I am soo thrilled!

I spent over an hour trying to upload the digital version of the movie onto my Ipod so I can watch it whenever I wanted without the kids whining to watch cartoons...unfortunately I had no such luck and watched it on the tv instead!

I realized later that I need to convert the movie file to a file that will be compatible with my Ipod...I guess I'll figure that out another time. Why does everything have to be soo complicated? Lol

As I was watching the movie, Ben kept asking me why I was crying...I said the movie was sad and he kept saying "But it's not sad now!"

Anyway on to the drawing....

This morning Ben picked the lucky winner!

He had so much fun shaking up the jar and choosing one slip of paper! The winner is:

M.L @ House of Whimsy! Please make sure to e-mail me your address so I can send off your dvd you lucky girl!

I do wish I was able to send you all a copy...it's an awesome movie and I hope that you get to watch it and enjoy it as much as I do! Have a great day everyone!

Hugs,
Ruth Ann

Giveaway Time!

Hi everyone!

Nights in Rodanthe happens to be my all time favorite Richard Gere movie! I have never cried like that before! Who can resist Richard Gere? I know I can't! A loud weeping cry wanted to escape from me in the movie theatre, but I held it in and cried silently instead! This resulted in sore throat from all the sobbing! It was the first time that I could really relate to a character in a movie so perfectly!

My husband and I had a long-very deep conversation after the movie because we related to the love that the two characters shared in the movie! I don't want to mention to much...because I don't want to spoil the movie for those of you that hasn't seen it yet!

I've been super excited about the release of the dvd.....not only can I now cry as loud as I want in the privacy of my own home, but it's released the day before my birthday! Yeah...Happy Birthday to me right?! I already told my husband that I want an early birthday present. I would prefer Richard Gere, but I think the movie will do! Besides he's busier with other things right now like freeing Tibet!

So...in honor of Valentine's Day and a truly incredible movie I want to giveaway "The Nights in Rodanthe" dvd! I will pick the lucky winner on the morning that the movie's released:
February 10th!

All you have to do is leave me a comment on this post, and tell me what movie really makes you cry!

Have a great night and GOOD LUCK!

Halloween Giveaway!

Finally, my Halloween Giveaway! Halloween is my favorite Holiday. I don't know if it's the Fall season or if it's because I was a Philadelphia Flyer fan for most of my life! I just love orange and black!

This giveaway is the first of many that I plan to have throughout the year. I love creating Raggedy Dolls and this one is the first Halloween doll that I have ever made.

Her first name is Candy and her last name is Corn! She's approximately 15 inches from her Raggedy Red Hair down to her orange and black striped legs/toes. She's wearing a lovely pumpkin printed dress and underneath has on candy corn printed bloomers! She's sure to put a smile on your face on a cold Autumn day! (Geez, I feel like I'm writing a personal ad for a rag doll!) lol

Also, included in this giveaway is a candy corn printed pot holder, a package of skeleton hands, a set of Halloween Rub-Ons, and a spool of Halloween ribbon!

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post anytime between now and Thursday night (October 23rd) at 11:30 pm Eastern time. Also, if you mention me on your blog you'll get your name put in TWICE (just be sure to let me know). Stay warm and have a wonderful evening!

Hugs,

Ruth Ann
