It's the "My Mama Wrote a Book!" Contest

My mom is an interior designer, and for years, people have been asking her for help with their homes. Some of the questions seemed to come up over and over again, and she realized there might be the need for a book on the topic. You can get books on the basic elements of design, but what about a book that talks about using what you already have?

So this last year, she sat down and penned Uniquely You, which answers the questions she is most regularly asked. I edited it and helped put together her website, which is interactive with the book and shows you ideas for your own home.  The book was formatted and the cover designed by Andrea Pearson, and now we have a finished product!

To celebrate, we're throwing an online party. Here's a party hat and a noisemaker!  Okay, maybe not so much a party, but a contest. Here's how it works.

1.  Go here and become a follower. You can do this either by hitting the 'follow' button on the Google Friend Connect box, or signing up to receive updates - these are both on the left-hand side of the site.

2. Go here and click the little "like" box under the book's title.

3. Come back to this post and leave a comment, telling me that you've done both.

No purchase is necessary to enter, although ... if you did happen to want to pick one up, I'm certainly not going to stop you. The price is $3.99 for the ebook - purchase Kindle here and other forms of e-book here.

So, what's the prize?

Your own box of Kleenex! You're welcome!

No, wait ... I lie.

The winner will be chosen by Random.org, and they will receive ...

For Utah County residents, a half-hour in-home interior design consultation from Ruthe

Out of Utah County, a half-hour interior design consultation from Ruthe by telephone

Is that cool or what?

The deadline is midnight on December 21st.

Come help us celebrate, and win yourself some fresh perspectives on your home while you're at it!!
