March Giveaway Winners

At the end of each month, I like to feature the winners of that month's Giveaways — in an effort to help the Design Mom community make a few connections — and to give a little shout out to the fine winners. (It's all voluntary of course, If you're a winner and would rather remain relatively anonymous, I promise not to post about you.)

Check out these lovely ladies!!:

Winner of the $50 Gift Certificate to My Charmed Life:

Beth of Folding Laundry
My name is Beth, from Northern Indiana. I have been married for almost 8 years and have 2 children — an energetic 4 year old girl and a lovable 3 year old boy. (They are 360 days apart!) I spend my free time volunteering for Friends of Heroes and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Wanting to offer support, Friends of Heroes originally started over the internet by a group of moms wanting to find a cure for pediatric blood cancer patients. I have been volunteering for close to 4 years now and devote 10-20 hours per week from home on this national organization. Together, we raised over $844,000 and earned 3 pediatric cancer research grants in our honor!

I LOVE to blog, which is what I do in my spare time. I enjoy the community of mothers created by fellow bloggers and I love to learn and honor the differences between women and mothers. I also enjoy shopping (a lot), taking pictures, and a good cup of coffee.


Winner of the Urban Botanic Custom Scent Beauty Package:

Sarah Starr Smith
I am an Herby, (according to the UB personality test). Here is a little of what that means: "An Herby's favorite place to be is at home. They're happiest there when a friend is with them, relaxing on the porch with a cup of tea, talking about the latest drama in life. Herbies feel deeply for others have the gift of empathy. They are very sincere when they encourage others; they genuinely want people to succeed." Yes, I'm a porch girl. It is a great place for me to get centered and connect with friends that pass by. I am also pretty Fruity with equal parts Leafy, Floral, and Woodsy, with just a pinch of Spice.

I live in Valhalla, New York with my husband, Dave and baby boy, Malcolm. The biggest thing for our family right now is getting ready to move to Cleveland, Ohio in a few months. I heart NY and will miss it. I'm getting excited to design a new space, although it's looking like I will be taking down some wallpaper, ahh! I love making things. Right now my projects involve knitting, sewing, and writing. I love to read and talk about it. I love to make guacamole and eat it too!


Winner of the Yoon Kids Custom Wall Art:

Dalene Rowley:
I'm Dalene Rowley, but I channel my latent OCD as Compulsive Writer. After growing up in the Pacific northwest, I traded the lush green of the Willamette Valley for the majestic mountains of the Wasatch Front. My husband, a third-grade teacher, and our four fun kids and I live in beautiful Provo, Utah.

During my adult life I graduated in English and French, worked for a year as an editor and writer for a local newspaper, then got busy being a mom. When my youngest child entered school two years ago, I went to work as a quality assurance supervisor for a press clipping service company. Other hats I wear include the following: soccer mom, band mom, choir mom, softball mom, quilter, sister, gardener and friend.

Oh, and when it comes down to blogging just a few minutes longer or doing the dishes, blogging wins almost every time.
