November Thankful Contest and October Art Contest Winner!

Just days ago, the whole town was alive with music and laughter. Parades, carnivals, and parties; dancing, eating, and singing. Yes, it was Halloween. The adults danced and danced in costumes both scary and silly while the trick-or-treaters paraded the streets, feasting on skittles, sour pops and all sorts of sweets. The air was filled with excitement and magic that night but now, the streets and sidewalks have gone quiet. Costumes and candy wrappers litter the floor of the children’s rooms and the jack-o-lantern’s light has long since gone out.

For those of you who participated in October’s Contest of the Month, a huge thanks! We received some awesome art entries and thought I’d share a couple with you!

And the winner of October’s art contest . . .

November Thankful Contest

What better way to start the holiday season with a focus on the things we have and less on the have nots. November is a wonderful time for reflection and pause, a time to show our gratitude for our many blessings. And, yes, we all have them despite our circumstance.

For this month’s contest, we invite you to write a quick two to three paragraph essay about what you’re thankful for and to perform a random act of kindness.

For those of you who’d like to participate, it’s easy.

Simply post your thankful essay in the comments below and share what you have done or will do as your random act of kindness. It can be as simple as having a friendly conversation with some one who might need a friend or buying a Starbucks for the person in line behind you or writing a note of thanks to someone who touched your life for good.  One random participant will win a special YA book package and a runner-up will win a small personalized gift from Colleen. Both winners will also win an official signed copy of Tiger’s Curse for a friend new to the Tiger’s Curse Series!

Have fun with this one!

~Till next time,
