Another Chance to Win a Hallmark Recordable Storybook…

I-Love-You-Grandma-Recordable-StorybookHere’s another chance to win a Hallmark Recordable Storybook PLUS ten more to giveaway to a local charity of your choice!

In July, Janice showed you an adorable video of her little Olivia reading a Hallmark Recordable Storybook that Janice recorded for her and now it’s my turn…

But this time, it’s not my voice being recorded in the book… it’s my girls’ voices.

Yes, the storybook in this video is called “I Love You Grandma” and Julia and Sophia are recording their voices to send to their Nonna (Grandma) in Italy.

Their little voices at these tender ages are so precious they need to be remembered. Listen as Julia offers to help Sophia say her part and near the end my heart melts at the sound of 2 year old Sophia saying “Apple”. I can’t imagine how many times I will watch this 2 minute video.

Take a look…

Hallmark has ten Recordable Storybook titles available in Hallmark Gold Crown stores nationwide. Each title retails for $29.95. For more information, visit www.hallmark.com/recordablestorybooks.

And as Janice mentioned, there’s a “Share Your Story Tab” on Facebook where people can submit their own personal stories.

Win for you AND for Charity!

We have one Hallmark Recordable Storybook to giveaway, PLUS ten more copies for a local charity of the winner’s choice!

As these Storybooks have touched lives from coast to coast, Hallmark wants to share all the Storybooks have to offer with members of your community, particularly those who may be separated from family or in need of gifts to share with loved ones.

Hallmark is providing 10 copies of a Recordable Storybook (selected by Hallmark) to donate to a local charity of our randomly selected winner’s choosing.

The selected charitable organization must be local to the winner, serving their area, (for instance, a military base, children’s hospital or shelter).

Because these books record voices, people who are separated from loved ones, such as children or people in the hospital, military families, or families in crisis, would be wonderful receipients.

Enter To Win

To enter, simply leave a comment letting us know the local charity to whom you would like to donate the ten additional copies if you win.

The winner will be chosen by random.

This giveaway will close on Friday, Sept 10th. We will announce our winners on Saturday, Sept 11th. This giveaway is open to US residents and is void where prohibited. Please see our site’s terms and conditions of use for more information.

While in order to simplify entering for you we no longer accept extra entries, please feel free to share this contest on Facebook and Twitter, and/or sign up for our newsletter, or add our feed to your reader. And you can like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter if you want!

    I would donate the extra books to the Salvation Army and to our Church Mission. Both are such wonderful places that help families in need at all times.

    I would donate these to the local childrens hospital. I think it would be so comforting to the children there to be able to hear a story read to them from a loved one whenever they want.

    I would donate the books to the University of MN Hospital PICU in Minneapolis. My friend’s daughter was there for most of her short life for heart complications and I know that this is something that the families there would love.
