NICE Giveaway #13: And the winner is!

It's giveaway time!!! This is my favorite thing to do! And today is three times as wonderful since Tina was kind enough to offer up three String-Rings for this contest! And just to remind you what's at stake, here is what the winners will receive. A lovely piece of jewelry that encourages the wearer to be mindful of kindness.


129 entries total, way to go guys! And the compliments you submitted were phenomenal. You had me in tears, truly. So, using the handy Random Integer Generator, I picked three random numbers out of 129, and here were the winners!


Comment #3: Jan C. - Last Friday night my husband and I helped to chaperone the local high school's marching band (two of our own daughters are members). It was a hot night to be marching in full uniform, so the parents handed out free bottles of water to the kids after pregame. Lots of those bottles ended up under the bandstand once they were empty, and they needed to be picked up after the game.

My compliment goes out to all of those teenage band members who, instead of bolting for the band room to change and get on with their evening, stopped for a few extra minutes to throw away their own trash and to help pick up after their fellow band members who were not so thoughtful. It was really great to see that lots of the kids felt compelled to be nice and help the adult chaperones out. September 11, 2009 6:44 AM

Comment #73: Viewtiful Justin - My mother is a saint. She's so loving, sacrificail, and patient. And I will tell her so the next time I see her, thanks to this little giveaway exercise.September 12, 2009 7:28 AM

Comment #25: gfxchick - 74. My 10-year-old daughter is amazing. Earlier this week she started her orthodontic treatments and has metal expanders in her mouth. They are uncomfortable and we have to expand the appliance twice a day. It's painful and she hasn't complained at all. I don't think I could be as strong as she is. I have a new level of pride for her. Wow.219. September 11, 2009 9:36 AM

Wow, how exciting! I love the string rings and will probably order a second one so that I can give them to my daughters for Christmas. Thanks so much, Melissa!
