200th post - and the winner is . . .

For my 200th post I thought I would share with you a quote that has really made me stop and think. My friend, Heidi, told me that I had to read the book The Ultimate Gift. I loved the movie, so I figured I needed to give the book a chance too. The following quote is from the book, and I think it is amazing:

"If we are living our lives the way we should, everything should be in such an order that we wouldn't change the last day of our life from any other day. . . We're not guaranteed anything but today."

So make sure that you live every day to the fullest - no regrets!

And now, onto the giveaway! Thank you all for entering, I love doing giveaways! They are so much fun! I wrote all of your names on slips of paper:

folded and dropped them in a bowl . . .

then I held the bowl over my head and picked out a winner, who is:

SUZETTE!!!! Suzette and I were roommates our first year in college, and now she has two adorable children. I hope that Zella and Jens love these books as much as I do!

Once again, thank you all for entering! I may have to do a holiday giveaway close to Christmas, so make sure you check back!
