Let me start off by saying how much we love you. We really do. And we love doing giveaways, but one thing we hate about them is that we can’t give a prize to everyone. So we got together this morning and talked about how much we’d like to give a prize to everyone…..so we are!
If you entered this contest, you can send an email to support@bravegirlsclub.com and they will send you a coupon code for our store for $10 off of $50! YAY! Now everybody wins! Be sure to put “I won a coupon code” in the subject line, so they can easily see you! (This coupon is good all the way until December 10th.)
Now to the winner of this fun giveaway….since I couldn’t possibly choose a winner, today I used random.org to find a winner…..here’s what came up:
So the winner is number 146…..which took some counting, but I got there. This is what comment #146 says:
Mary O’Neill says:
I would like to win what Andy Wahlstrom wants so if she didn’t I could send it to her for her daughter, can I do that anyway, some how.
And this is what “Andy Wahlstrom”s comment says (a few comments above):
Andy Wahlstrom says:
I would choose a gift card from your store. I want to give this to my adult daughter who has gone through a very financially trying year.. She is a kindergarten teacher (taught 19 years), has three boys and she includes artistic creativity for both her class and her children almost daily. She is the one who told me about BGC and your website became the one peaceful place in her day. You have posted one of her bird creations on a prior daily mailing. Keeping artistry and creativity alive for children is a real calling for her. Thank you for your consideration!
It’s not a long story, but isn’t it a tender one?
These three women all linked together in this weird and wonderful way. We are SO excited to be sending a gift card to Andy Wahlstrom’s sweet daughter, and soooo thankful for this beautiful story!!!
This is what it’s all about, isn’t it? I love it.






Oh, if I could just give Mary O’Neill a giant hug! What a kind and thoughtful thing to do for someone she doesn’t even know. This makes me feel so happy, so thank you BGC and Mary! Happy holidays!
Is there some way that I could purchase a gift card for Andy Wahlstrom’s daughter and have you send it to her?
This is such a touching story. I have been blessed this year and I would like to send a bit of Brave Girl Brightnessss to someone who needs it to shine through their clouds.
Love it, love it, love it! What a stroke of luck that Mary O’Neill was the random number – maybe proves that there is no such thing as ‘random.’ Am crying over such generosity of spirit. Totally made my day, thank you Mary and BGC!
so glad nobody can see me sitting here boohoo-ing all over the place. how nice is that?????
How wonderful!!! Such beautiful Brave Girls here!!
Beautiful
Isn’t it wonderful how things come together just when they need to! {heart}
Sooo Sweeet! So glad she/they won! Love the story too!! God Bless <3
yeah!!!! I’m so glad that happened. Her story touched my heart, and so like brave girl for it to happen that way.
sweet sweet story…i love it when i get inspired from posts like this!
I just read the results of the give away. You know, sometimes life just reaches out and grabs hold of our hearts in such unexpected ways. I am deeply moved that all these sweet Brave Girls would hold such kind thoughts and caring for a person they don’t even know. Thank you and thank you, Mary! I’m not sure how the details work but even so, what a gift of the heart! She will be so happy!
Oh my gosh! My mom just called me and told me to look at the Brave Girls blog entry for today and I am a little teary right now! Thank you so much to my mom and to Mary! Mom, I love you so much for so many reasons, just one of which is the way you are always thinking of others. Mary, I can tell you have a heart like my mom, always thinking of others, even if you have never met them before. Thank you! And, Brave Girls, what my mom said is true, you are always a bright part of my day and I have learned so much from you! I am very grateful! Thank you!
What a wonderful story and now I read the comments and now I’m crying! To think I came here to see if I won! Congratulations Tricia!!!
There is no “random” gift for sure, we forget that our Creator is in the details and has a eye on ALL of us. Awesome Story.
So awesome! I was so hoping that Mary would be the winner. For some reason her entry caught my eye and I thought “wow, this lady is amazing!!” So Mary, I am so very happy for you!!
Tricia and Andy, My heart is welled up so much. I feel so good that is worked out. I was a single mom years ago and now happily married. I can remember trying to be creative when my two older kids were little to make sure then didn’t go without. So I can relate to your mom’s post.
I have a daughter (21 years old) we have a wonderful relationship and I hope to always be there for her like your mom I am sure is there for you. My daughter is the reason I got back into art, she said to me that she wished that someone had encouraged me to pursue my artist side, she tells me how creative I am all the time and so a year ago I started “arting again”. It is all good, my husband and family are sending me to Brave Girl Camp in January for my birthday which is during camp, how good is that. We are all blessed and you all bless me with your comments.
Please Brave Girl Club, I would like to add to Tricia prize, Please let us know how.
Awww…..We need more Mary O’Neills in this world. What a small and simple, yet HUGE act of kindness and service. Stories like this one make me want to do better. I’m going to do better today.
Thank you Mary.
paying it forward – that’s the best !
Awww.. See? Your giveaways are powerful!!!!!
What a great feeling!
Beautiful…and won’t that make us all want to do the same!! God bless you all!!
What a beautiful story, and a wonderful happy ending! A perfect summary of what BGC is all about…
What a wonderful world we live in with all these amazing and caring souls
How wonderful that the give away has managed to remind us all of the good that this wonderful blog and group of women have brought together, My heart has been touched as well and needed this sweet moment in my life tonight.
If ever anyone wondered if Brave Girls changed all of us in magical ways, this post and this thread are proof. <3 Congrats to the winner. I am in tears of joy for everyone involved. <3
This is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing it with us and how beautiful that this not only makes these three women so happy, but ALL of us BGs! <3
