And The Winner is....

First before I announce the winner, I just want to take some time to 'remember' and pay tribute to the amazing men, women and children who sacrificed so much to give us the freedom we have. Unfortunately it is something that we take for granted and seem to forget, and I write this as in a few hours I have to go to work and will not even get a chance to pay tribute to the courageous people that helped shape this country. Happy Remembrance Day and let's not forget the amazing sacrifice that was made for all of us.

Thank you all for the comments and for the words of encouragement. I am really excited for some of the amazing giveaways that will be coming up. So remember to check back the first Wednesday of every month and leave a comment!! :o)

And now the winner is......


MELANIE

(we did the draw the old fashioned way using a Bob the Builder hat)




Melanie chose #1

1. Provide Water in an Emergency - helps distribute water purification kits or set up community water filters. Value: $35

This one is right up her alley. I was chatting with her just yesterday (as I was reminding her in a loving, sisterly way that she hadn't commented) about water purification and how during her time in University they did a lot of studying about water purification. A good friend of hers was also in Cambodia helping distribute these kits. I was also telling her that I have a new appreciation for water purification and how much we take it for granted, as we are under a water boil advisory for almost a week and it is really challenging.

Congrats Melanie! (I have all of your information, so not to worry) :o)

Thanks again for all of the comments and for sharing your hearts with me!

Blessings always!
