One step closer to the winner announcement here:   Does anyone remember when the ‘Daily Lotto Numbers’ were drawn live on tv, with the numbered ping-pong-like balls bouncing around in an air machine, and then a ball would get vacuum sucked up and that number would be the winner? Well….maybe it still is on t.v. like that, but I don’t watch much t.v. anymore.  Anyhoo…..the point is, we wished we could draw a winner that way.  Of course, we don’t have such fancy machines on hand.
 
But….we do have a BINGO ball tumbler! : )

And so that’s just what we used, in 2 shots here for you.… Read More

Our "Lucky Liker's" Surprise Give-Away Gift

February 8, 2011 By 3 Comments

Last week, I decided rather spontaneously, to have a surprise Give-Away to the 100th ‘Liker’ of our Facebook Page for Our House Of Joyful Noise. The unsuspecting ‘Lucky Liker’, Tammy N.,  got a happy surprise, and I had so much fun doing it!   I’ve decided that using our Facebook Page, when announcing having such Give-Aways, and sharing other random tidbits, photos, and inside-info, is the way to go!!  SO…..if you haven’t ‘Liked’ our Facebook Page yet, you might want to do that riiiiiight now.  Or else, you’ll be missing out.   (It just means, you’ll see us in your Facebook feed, and you’ll be in the know, with things not necessarily here on the blog.  It’s fun!  Please join us.  Buttons are in the sidebar.… Read More

We’re so excited that the time has come to announce the winner of our latest give-away, for this beautiful stationary card set and fancy pen!  But before we get to that, we just wanted to say…..

We never anticipated the heart-warming stories you all have shared with us.  It was evident that every one of you shared a little piece of your heart.  Whether you spoke of romantic love letters, special cards, or little notes that expressed affection in one way or another, from loved ones you have loved deeply, and maybe have lost……they all came from the most special places in your hearts.… Read More

Some of you may recall that I mentioned that there was a Give-Away involved in the collection of  e-mails for the Special E-Mail we were sending out.   The winner of the Give-Away was indicated by the one who had an XO on the purple circle of their Special E-Mail, which was an announcement/invitation to our all new blog site. It looked like this:

The Give-Away prize was……….

…. brand new copy of  ‘Work in Progress – An Unfinished Woman’s Guide To Grace’, by Catholic mom and author Kristin Armstrong.   Some of you may be familiar with this book, or have read it, as it was featured on Faith & Family Live, one of my favorite Catholic web sites, in mid-May of this year.  Also, at that time,  Lisa Hendey did a an excellent podcast interview with Kristin, which I enjoyed listening to very much.   I have really been enjoying reading Kristin’s book, in the sparse and quiet moments I have found for myself.… Read More
