I'm not as good at doing gorgeous crafts as some of you are, but since researching FAMILY TREES is a passion of mine and discoveries of anyone's ancestors are as equally exciting as if they were my own, I thought this would be the most personal kind of "GIVE-AWAY" I could offer :o)

Hello, Mrs. M,
What a wonderful gift you're offering! My wife recently displayed our family tree, going back many generations. It's a marvelous view into the past. I know your winner will love it!
I'm also writing to tell you about a project I'm working on. It's a collection of Thank You Stories, to be published in a book titled I Never Got to Thank You.
I would love to include one of your Thank You Stories.
You can read about the project on my post:
http://lovingherbeautiful.blogspot.com/2008/02/i-never-got-to-thank-you.html.
If you like what you read, I would also be very grateful if you would pass on my link to anyone else you're comfortable with -- even if you don't write a Story yourself. My goal is to collect 100 Stories by March 31st, but that date is certainly not a cut-off. Everyone is welcome to contribute a Story -- or more than one!
Thank you for reading.
Blessings to you!
BILL
What generous gifts you are offering!
I found your site through Home Living Helper and am so glad that I did find it. You seem like a lovely lady!
I am interested in such a service. Actually, it would thrill me on certain levels.
My email address is pursuer@gmail.com, in case I may win.
My dad has been looking into our family geneology for years. It would be a great surprise if you could find some information that he has not been able to find. Thanks for the chance to win! ~Tami mymadakaja@gmail.com
Mrs Gunning & Tami,
Thanks for leaving your names and if either of you do win, I hope I can help find info for you that adds to what you already know!
Blessings,
Dallas
WHAT A THOUGHTFUL THING TO DO.
ONE SIDE OF OUR FAMILY WAS DONE BY AN AUNT OF MY HUSBANDS. I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED SOME ON MY SIDE DONE. THIS IS SO INTERESTING TO ME. I KNOW THE WINNER WILL LOVE IT!
THANKS FOR BE SO CONSIDERATE.
ALIENE
