So I made a silly mistake when I mailed out a bunch of the Christmas gift packs last week.
I included a candy cane.
Seems like a simple addition, does it not? Just a little candy cane to brighten the spirits, and the breath, of young ladies around the USA.
Unfortunately, it seems, from what I’ve heard from a few of you, that the Christmas gift packs were stomped and smashed and sent through an oven because candy cane shrapnel is meltingly covering every corner of your gift pack.
I’m really sorry…. for having too much holiday spirit and it causing a peppermint flavored disaster.
If that is the case for you, and your poster or bookmarks or anything are messed up, please just email me (annieblogs [at] gmail [dot] com) and let me know your address and what needs replacing and I’ll ship it out today. No biggie. My pleasure. My fault. Let me replace the candy caned products.
. . . . .
Now to the fun stuff. We have a few of the Christmas gift packs left and I’d like to mail one to you! Well, “you” being a few lucky blog readers. Here’s the dealio….
I want to send you a full gift pack PLUS an additional copy of the book for you to give away to someone in your life!
Here’s how to win:
1. Leave a comment below and tell me who you would get that extra copy of the book that will be in your mailbox.
2. You can leave a SECOND comment saying that you like me on facebook… either you already do or you pop over, click LIKE, and then come back and say, “I like your page on facebook.”
3. You can leave a THIRD comment saying that you follow me on twitter… either you already do or you pop over, click FOLLOW, and then come back and say, “I follow you on twitter.”
So, you can have THREE different comments total. As many as the gifts the wise men brought…. which, if you read the story closely, you see that they also included candy canes in their packages. [No they didn’t.]
How many gift packs am I giving away? FIVE. FIVE lucky winners will get a gift pack shoved in the mail, sans candy cane, on Tuesday [so you have until Tuesday morning when I wake up and get movin’ to enter].
BRING ON THE WINNING! Ready… set… go!

I would give the copy to my friend Kim who is starting up the youth ministry at our church and has mostly middle school girls.
Oh, and I already follow you on Twitter. It’s a blast. I don’t have FaceBook or I would like you there. Oh well. 1 out of 2 isn’t bad.
1. I have a friend here in London who does not yet know how love her body or live all for Him–but she’s interested! She is currently living with her boyfriend and would love to have a copy of this amazing and inspiring book.
2. I like you on facebook {and in real life} 😉
3. I follow you on twitter {and your antics and hashtags crack me up} write on.
Yay Annie! I would give it to my roommate Haley.
I do follow you on twitter, and I really like it.
I work with youth so who I would give the copy to is easy, there are several girls I would give it to but one in particular I have in mind then after I finish my copy I’d take that one and make it the “youth copy” so they could pass it around and all could read it. 🙂
I would give the extra copy of the book to our fellowship, which has several girls becoming teens!
Thanks for this kind opportunity!
I do follow you on Twitter, too!
I would give an extra copy to my cousin. She’s a senior in college and I think would love it!

I would give the extra book to my really good friend who recently became a Christian and baptized.
I would actually give both copies away because I already have your book. But I would give one to my friend Lindsay who is just starting off as a children’s director at a church and it would be a great resource for her to have when working with the Jr. High and High School girls. The other one I would give to my friend Kaitlin who struggles with a lot of things and doesn’t know how to love herself, which is something that I have gotten a lot better at since reading your book. 🙂 I want her to have her own copy to write in and love just like the one I have. 🙂
I follow you on Twitter. And completely love following your adventures through 140 characters.
And I like you on facebook. And in real life. And would really like to see you again sometime. 🙂 I love you Annie!

I would love to pass this on to my good friend Paige who leads a small group of girls at Western Kentucky University. She has an amazing impact on those girls, and each of them would benefit from reading and discussing your book. That way, you book could be read by 8-10 girls instead of just one as they would pass it around!
