Last night I made a mistake in picking a random winner and awarded that prize to an account owned by my co-host. For our parties, we often use multiple accounts to make sure that our main messaging is heard. Our clients are completely aware and comfortable with that. I, unfortunately, did not know that account was owned by my co-host. She, in turn, was shocked that I didn’t know and called me quickly after the party to tell me. The prize of a tote and mug has been re-awarded to @bigcat59. Mistakes happen and I am the first to correct those when it is brought to my attention.

I am sooo excited for this party!! For those of you who don’t follow  my Elementary Spirits blog, my dad passed away this past Sunday from Congestive Heart Failure. My brother passed from a heart attack this past March. Both my inlaws have heart problems.  If you can’t tell, his cause is very IMPORTANT TO ME!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Campbell’s for hosting another AdDress Your Heart Twitter party this year and helping to bring more awareness to heart health! This is going to be the most rockin party to ever hit twitter but we need your help!!!!

I wanted to let you all know about an awesome campaign by Stove Top, Spread the Warmth. It is an initiative focused on paying forward acts of kindness to those around us, in the hopes that they will be inspired to do the same.

As part of their campaign, we would love to hear how you are “Spreading the Warmth” this holiday season. They have given me a pack of 10 full value coupons for Stove Top to giveaway to one lucky person who shares their random act of kindness with us in a comment.

So, what have I done to “spread the warmth”? This is a really small thing but we have a lot of homeless people in our city. We were coming out of a restaurant last week downtown and predictably were asked for money. Instead I was able to give him some hot takeout I had. I know it is small and there is much more I could have done but it was just a little act that I am sure made him a little more comfortable that night.
That is what “Spread the Warmth” is about. I encourage you to go read the Ambassadors blog for more inspiring stories.

Do you want a chance to win those coupons?

Prize: Pack of 10 Full Value Coupons for Stove Top.

How to Win: Just leave me a comment telling us how you have “Spread the Warmth” this holiday season. You can enter up to 5 times with a different comment.

Bonus Entry: Follow @SpreadtheWarmth on twitter. Leave a comment below with your twitter name so we can verify.

Contest Ends: Monday, December 28th, 10 AM MST. Winner will be contacted via email. You have 72 hours to respond or a new winner is chosen.
