You can get an awesome hour and a half massage from Wes Speights, an experienced, knowledgeable massage therapist and athletic trainer (and yes,my father in law! :)).

3. GIFT CERTIFICATE TO TWELVE20 PHOTOGRAPHY (dfw area) FOR A PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION, A CD OF ALL OF YOUR EDITED IMAGES AND A 11x14 PRINT (WORTH $275)
Cassie is a family/maternity/newborn/seniors/child/adoption/you name it photographer located in the DFW area and she is AWESOME! We'll be up in the DFW area within the year to do a photo shoot with her because I won this exact package in one of her giveaways earlier this year and I am PUMPED!! Not only does she take amazing pictures, but half of all of her proceeds go towards helping to rescue enslaved children! I love her work and I love her heart for orphans! If you're needing a photographer for any reason, this is an AWESOME deal. And, not only do you get the session for free, but you also get a free CD of all of the images from the session AND a free 11X14 print of your favorite picture! After the raffle, you will have up to one year to book your session.
4. $50 GIFT CERTIFICATE TO THE VINTAGE PEARL I just discovered The Vintage Pearl this past year and I am in love. Everything Erin makes is beautiful. Her hand stamped jewelery is all sterling silver and completely personalized for you, even down to the font that you want on it! You can choose from necklaces, bracelets, keepsakes...and there's even some things for men! There's just something about the simplicity of her jewelery that I can't get enough of. I guarantee you will have fun browsing her website and spending this gift certificate!
_____________________________________________________________________All you have to do to enter to win is help rescue some of these child slaves working on Lake Volta in Ghana, Africa. Just head over to Mercy's Project's page--browse around a bit and then make a donation. Any amount--you choose. All the money donated will go towards helping rescue more children and building houses for the children to live in after they are rescued. It's an AWESOME, worthy cause. To read more about what they are doing, check them out on Facebook or on their website.
For every $5 you donate, your name will be entered in a raffle to win one of the four prizes. If you donate $5, you'll be entered once. If you donate $20, you'll be entered 4 times. If you donate $100, you'll be entered 20 times. You get the idea. You can put all of your entries in for one prize or spread them out amongst the four prizes.When you go to the website, click on the "donate" tab. Enter the amount that you want to donate at the top of the page and then either sign in to your PayPal account or fill in the information on the left side of the page. During the donation process, there will be a place for you to "add special instructions to seller." You must type SPEIGHTS STORIES GIVEAWAY AND THEN THE NAME OF THE PRIZE YOU ARE WANTING TO BE ENTERED TO WIN (ie REDBUD DESIGNS, TWELVE20 PHOTOGRAPHY, ATHLETIC TRAINING AND SPORTS MASSAGE, MOLLIE B PHOTOGRAPHY OR THE VINTAGE PEARL) in the "add special instructions to seller" box to be entered into the giveaway. Then, comment on the blog if you can, letting us know you donated (you don't have to let us know how much, just that you did!), to make sure we don't miss anyone!
Also, because part of what we want to do is raise awareness about Mercy Project and the children enslaved in Ghana, you can get entered 3 additional ways:
1. post about Mercy Project and this giveaway on your blog and then comment, letting us know you posted
2. link to this post as your Facebook status and then comment, letting us know you did it.
3. become a friend of Mercy Project on Facebook and then comment, letting us know you did.
The raffle is open to everyone. Winners will have one week to contact the owner of the business that donated their prize to officially claim their gift certificate.
The contest will be open until Thursday night (8/12) at midnight, CST.Mercy Project will be randomly selecting a winner on Friday morning (8/13).
So, go ahead and get started!
Do it because, while kids are being rescued, many more are still out working on the lake, day in and day out. Do it because your money can help redeem the life of those children. Do it because today, you could use $5 to really make a difference. Do it because it feels good. Do it because you could win a really cool prize! But most of all, do it because there are precious kids, real children just like ours, still working out on the lake, waiting for someone with more power than them to do what they can't do--rescue them from a life of slavery and give them a life of freedom and redemption in Jesus Christ. And your $5 (or whatever you donate) will help do just that.
Thank you in advance for all that I know we're going to do together for these precious kids!! And, we can't wait to see who gets the added bonus of winning one of these awesome prizes!
i complete both facebook entry requests! i hope i win! i'd like both entries to go toward the twelve twenty photography package...i'd love more pics with cassie!!!
ReplyDeletegreat message. mercy project is a wonderful organization to do so much for children in need.
Hey, so I waited till the last minuto...and got tripped up by the paypal acct info (which I have, but haven't used in a few years).
ReplyDeleteSo, I look forward to learning more about the Mercy Project and donating to their gospel-driven work, outside of the raffle.
Love you both.
