Pink Ribbon Review BCAM Giveaway: Day Four

Welcome to day four of the Pink Ribbon Review Breast Cancer Awareness Month Giveaway! In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM), I’m giving away a pink ribbon product every single day during the month of October.
Today’s giveaway: “Eat Your Peas for the Cure” gift book.
The “Eat Your Peas” series is a collection of paperback gift books authored by Cheryl Karpen that are built with a promise to be there for someone special through life’s trials and celebrations.
The very first gift book, “Eat Your Peas for Young Adults,” was written in 2001 for a teenage friend who was going through some challenging emotional times and felt sad and hopeless. The collection now features 21 affirming titles for moms, teens, sons, birthdays, teachers, gardeners and more, and offers coupling seed packets with affirmation cards, note pads and magnets.
Cheryl Karpen co-wrote “Eat Your Peas for the Cure” with her sister and three-time cancer survivor, Darlene Hauff. After seeing the amount of love and support Hauff received from family and friends, Karpen knew her sister would be able to help her find the tender and uplifting yet sensitive tone she wanted.
The pages of “Eat Your Peas for the Cure” are filled with words to encourage and support people suffering from cancer. Words like:
“As you travel down the treatment trail, I’ll be cheering you on all the way.”
“Everytime you pick up this book, consider yourself hugged. And cherished, too.”
“Very few burdens are heavy if we all lift together.”
And the pages are beautiful … the image on the left is of one of my favorite pages of this book.
Just after the title page is a To/From page for you to fill out if the winner chooses to give it away. If it is for them to cherish, I’ll fill it out for them with a pink ribbon pen!
FYI, a percentage of the profit from “Eat Your Peas for the Cure” will be contributed to the American Cancer Society.
What else do you need to know … the book is bounded in paperback. It features 72 pages and measures 5.5″ x 5.5″. The retail price is $9.95. And, it’s available online at www.gentlyspoken.com.
So … comment to win … and don’t forget to eat your peas.
Please refer to the the Pink Ribbon Review BCAM giveaway rules if you’ve not done this before.
You have until midnight EST to comment. Good luck!

Thanks for the the giveaway but most of all, thanks for putting breast cancer awareness out there- breast cancer sucks and we need to find a cure but until we do we need to make women aware of monthly exams and mammos…something that could save your life! Thanks again!

I love books!
I had not heard of these books, but they sure sound like something I could use right now.
The sentiment behind this just makes my heart ache. So very sweet.
I was thinking this would be a nice book to keep passing along to people who need a pick me up. You could write a message of support in it and ask that the recipient pass it along to someone else who needs it when she has read it. Each time it was passed on there would be another note of support added to it.
These books look great. I read some other reviews. My step-fathers family is ridden with cancer. I would love to share them with our family.
thanks and many blessings for doing what you are doing!
Sounds uplifting for the soul! Thanks for all your giveaways!
Great idea, I’ll eat my peas then. Thanks for these give aways for a good cause.
What a lovely idea for a collection of books! I have two close friends that are breast cancer survivors. It would make an excellent surprise gift for one of them. Please enter me in your delightful book giveaway drawing. Many thanks…..Cindi
This book is great and while I know we are in Breast cancer Awareness month, the book is uplifting for someone with any form of cancer, which I think is fantastic.
Good luck to all out there. great idea, great fun and great vibes at this site.
I think this is awesome, the support this month is getting is unbelieveable. Thanks to all who do this.
I would love to participate!
My mom gave me the Eat Your Peas for Daughters and I just love it. It comes with a little plastic pea also.
thanks
