Snow White and Grumpy Giveaways!!!

You've heard so much about my novella, Baby Steps, right? Well, it's on shelves now as part of Superromances Mother's of the Year anthology. Do you remember me crowing about it when I was writing the little gem? I'll excerpt it over the next few days (and maybe even give you a peak at my single title anthology that's coming out in January).

But first, Snow White and Grumpy...one of my favorite fairytale paradyms...how Grumpy's not bad, he's just misunderstood and needs unconditional love (enter Snow White) to find his true heart. And how a reborn Grumpy is the dwarf that leads the charge against the witch at the fairytale's black moment, then leads the prince back to give our heroine true love's waking kiss...

Sigh... it was so much fun to write a contemporary version for Mother's Day. My story is about foster care and what a true mother is and how helping somone else through their troubles can lead you to your own light. And of course about true love ;o)


To celebrate, I went to the local Disney Store Outlet (you heard me right...there's an outlet near me!!!) and cleaned them out of Snow White and Grumpy Goodies I'll be giving away to blog commenters (I'll randomly draw names, same as I do during my blog parties, since I wasn't able to hostess one this time around) and to friends who attend my May 17th signing after GRW's chapter meeting (another drawing).

My first giveaway, of course, has to be Snow White herself ;o) I have some Grumpies, too, for later, and her horse from the movie. Alas, they didn't have the prince to add to the collection, but I did score some T-shirts, so stay tuned. Keep leaving comments, I'll pick a winner every other post from all who've left a comment since the last drawing (including everyone who's already commented in the last week).

Brenda Novak's auction is going gangbusters already. Here's my page again--

One of my favorite items that's still a steal is this Isabella Fiore leather clutch--in black florettes. Yep. those are leather medallions and flowers stitched to a bag that will go as great for evening as it does with jeans and your favorite strappy heels. It's a classic.

Head over and bid on mine or any of the other great items folks have donated. It's a GREAT cause. Those of us with blood sugar issues thank you ;o)

As for my new blog/website giveaway...here's a sneak peek for all my buddies out here. I'll be drawing July 31st for this beauty, after both my April/May and June/July releases are out. Then will have another to drawing for a different purse in October, to cap off my September release excitement.


Guess what I found at my Saks outlet (yes, I live near some AMAZING outlet stores ;o).



P-R-A-D-A!!!


I can't believe they had this cute mini purse on super-super sale!!! But it'll belong to one of my blog faithful soon, so I'm most grateful...

I'll have the website contest page updated soon, but you get first dibs, so comment away, my friends. The more you chatter with one another, the better your chances to win the random drawing ;o)

Later, 'taters!

    I haven't read the story yet, but my mother did and loved it, Anna!

    As for Snow White, I love her! I used to have a shirt somewhere that I would wear that says, "Someday My Prince Will Come"...something I continue to remind myself.

    And I *heart* the Disney Store...LOL

    And that is a gorgeous bag for the contest! You find the greatest stuff.

    Ah, the thrill of the hunt. I am excited when I find a good bargain. It is an adrenaline rush when I find that really good bargain. The 'do-you-know-how-much-this-really-costs?' kind of bargain.

    I don't think I've ever done Prada good.

    I'm glad you are back and blogging. The great prizes don't hurt, neither!

    Ah...Snow White was one of my favorite stories...and always had a soft spot for the curmudgeonly Grumpy.

    Love the Disney idea as Disney World is one of my favorite places to go.
    Am also having a great time participating in the Brenda Novak auction for Diabetes...keep getting outbid though, so have to keep checking on items I would like to have plus the money goes for such a wonderful cause I can smile everytime the bid goes higher. Maybe this will be the year a cure is found...wouldn't that be just the best news possible!
    Have a great week-end!!!

    Isn't she beautiful?! You find the most wonderful things in addition to all the pretty purses you tease us with.

    Oh, and I forgot to mention that I think the Brenda Novak auction is a fabulous auction with a lot of great items and it is for such a great cause. Like others, I hope a cure is found soon.

    Anna,

    It's so good to see you back blogging. We missed you! I can't wait for To Protect the Child to be released. I'm getting excited lol. The Snow White is adorable, and the Prada bag is so gorgeous! Brenda's auction is wonderful, and this year I'm determined not to get outbid on all of my items lol.

    I love Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It was one of my favorite cartoons as a child. I love the purses too. :)

    Your Snow White and Grumpy story sounds great Anna. What a precious Snow White doll. I need to get one of those for my daughter. She will be 2 in October and I just started buying Disney Princess stuff to decorate her room. Lovely purses as well.
