All I had to do was send in my email, but I won a hank of yarn from Midnightsky Fibers. We’ve done a giveaway with them before, she has all natural yarns dyed with all natural dyes.
Well, I won a 55 yard hank of cream coloured wool yarn.

Help A Girl Out

I just got this from Chabad.org and I thought I’d pass it along
B”H
Dear Readers of TheJewishWoman.org,
I’d like to take a moment of your time for a small favor that will have a huge impact…
A few years ago a girl by the name of Leah Larson emailed me. At the time, she was only twelve-years-old. She was the editor of a new magazine called Yaldah (meaning “girl” in Hebrew) and was inviting me to judge its first essay contest. The email was so eloquent and well-written that it never occurred to me that I was talking to a pre-teen. But then again, nothing about Leah Larson is typical. This is a young woman who dreams big and who makes her dreams her reality. She wanted to start a successful magazine, by girls for girls, and she has done a remarkable job with it. She runs workshops for girls and a summer camp, and her ideas grow as she grows. She is actually the first girl thus far to have been part of our “Jewish Women You Should Know” series (click here for the article: http://www.chabad.org/467829)
So why am I telling you about Leah? Because with our help, Leah has the unique opportunity to win $100,000 for Yaldah Magazine. It appears that Wells Fargo Bank also realizes how special Leah is as they chose her as one of the finalists for their Someday Stories Contest: http://blog.wellsfargo.com/somedaystories/
There are only four days left to vote for Leah. It takes literally one minute to fill out your email and zipcode and then you click “vote” under the video for Evelyn from MA (Leah is still under 18 so her mother is her representative!)
As readers and subscribers of TheJewishWoman.org I wanted to invite you to help a passionate young woman inspire other Jewish girls to use their writing, their imagination, their creativity and their intellect, to follow their dreams.
At this very moment, Leah has 17,616 votes, and another contestant has 17,679 votes. Let’s have TheJewishWoman.org be the force to tip these scales.
Please vote now! Again, the direct link is: http://blog.wellsfargo.com/somedaystories/
Thanks,
Sara Esther Crispe
Editor, TheJewishWoman.org
Now, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I am not SuperJew. In fact, I often find myself irritated with SJ for reasons not quite clear to me. However, religion aside, what an amazing opportunity for such a young girl! We should encourage such reaching for the stars in any way we can. It will only take a moment. What’s a moment in a day packed full of them?
I’ve got some Punky Moms news in lieu of new content

I’ve been sick. Not deathly ill, but sick enough to not want to do anything except sleep. Of course, instead of sleep I have done laundry, went food shopping today, taken photos, edited photos, done other misc. work, you know, life goes on, mucous be damned. In lieu of real content, please peruse some of this older, but still pertinent content.

Punky Moms Holiday Ad Book!
What is the Holiday Ad Book you ask? It’s a one stop directory of places to shop! It’s more than a holiday gift “guide,” it’s a resource people will hang on to and reference all year long. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve directed someone to this place or that looking for the perfect holiday gift, baby gift, mama gift… you name it! Whether you sell Avon, Body Shop at Home, Candles, Clothing, jewelry, you have a place in our book!
Punky Moms got over 6200 front page hits in August alone, PunkyMomsForum.com got over 63000 (yes, three zeros!) and that is where our ad book will be available for permanent download. That is some serious exposure!
We want to have this created and ready for download and distro at the beginning of November for those who like to do their holiday shopping early! As long as the ads are in it will go out on time!
What a great way to reach over 1000 people (and growing daily!) all at once! We’re planning for our holiday shopping guide and we want your ads!
For the ridiculously inexpensive rate of 20$ per 1/8 page ad (the size of a business card) you can have a spot in our holiday digital book. The book will be available for free download to everyone as well as being distributed around the web.
Want a larger size? All of our rates are ridiculously inexpensive!
We have 16 1/8 page ads available @ 20$ each
We have 8 1/4 page ads available @ 35$ each
We have 4 1/2 page ads available @ 60$ each
We have 2 full page ads @ 100$ each
We want to have this created and ready for download and distro at the beginning of November for those who like to do their holiday shopping early! As long as the ads are in it will go out on time!
