Hey, I would still love the Olive Oil soap recipe. PLEASE!!
OOh man ! Have I ever BTDT with the camera cords, and USB cords, and power cords. I have teenagers who eat them for the non-dietary fiber content…..
Please inscribe my book: For my three darlings, may your life be a grand ball and may you always be inspired to dance your way through it. Love, Mama

Oh Ivory, some days its just not worth chewing through the restraints is it?
I hate to steal someone elses inscription, but if I was lucky enough to win i’d like
“To Michelle, Dance as though no one is watching you, love as though you have never been hurt, sing as though no one can hear you, live as though heaven is on earth. Ivory, aka Deanna”.
Good luck with the camera and the short people!
OK, I stumbled you. I subscribe to you. I enjoy your blog every chance I have.
If I win the book, I would love it to read “May you encourage kids to dance and love” I want to give it to my mother who is a children’s librarian in the town I grew up in.
Keep coming up with all the creative things you do!
I forgot to mention: I would also love any of the other prizes. But then again who wouldn’t.
Thank you so much for the link to The Nourished Kitchen. I have discovered Nourishing Traditions and have devoured the book. I’m now making my own bread every week after soaking the flour.
I feel like a new chapter has opened up for me and my kids.
Thank you again.
I’m going to blog about it as soon as I’m done with this (http://packardfamilyblog.blogspot.com) , and I did facebook it (which, at one point in time, you invited me to your page and I accidentally ignored it
)
And I signed up for emails. So is that 3 entries? Awesome
And my inscription for the book:
For Riley – Always keep dancing! Love Ivory aka Deanna
But I’d love, love, love the washcloths and bath products too! Yay!
Oh, and we had to invest in a card reader because we had so many cords we couldn’t keep up with them. Just a thought…
My daughter would love the book so inscribe it to Emily Elizabeth.
I tweeted @bronwynnm
I put a link on my facebook page to your website (because mine isn’t ready yet and I wanted to keep everyone busy!) I love this blog and I really like this giveaway. My inscription would read: To Elizabeth, This book will be your ‘First Ballet’ where talking is allowed! May it be even better than ‘The Nutcracker’. I’d love to talk to you about links from my web page to yours! You guys are great.
Posted to my wall on facebook.
I am already an email subscriber and absolutely love reading your blog. Thank!
Stumbled the giveaway
What a wonderful give away! I can’t wait to read your book with my granddaughter.
Please inscribe it: Dear Jordan, I love the way you dance like no one is watching and the way you love like you can’t get hurt. (She is nine)
Thank you for your beautiful, funny, informative emails.
Best regards, Linda
I love the quote “Dance your way through life!” since I am not sure which child I will give it to, just that and your signature would be great. Then I could decide later. Your other prizes sound lovely too. Great giveaway, thanks!
I subscribe to your site via email. Thanks
I am a new subscriber by email. I’ve been visiting this site for awhile now, hadn’t subscribed! How silly! If I am lucky enough to win, “To the Barden family, from Ivory Soap aka Deanna” Thanks!!
My 8 year old grand-daughter would love this book. Please inscribe it : To Princess Annalynn. Who likes dancing with the fairies.
I am also an email subscriber and will be placing a comment about the giveaway on my FB page and will post a link and comment on my quilt group’s yahoo page.

I would love to win this….please inscribe the book to Reagan..
I’ve been a subscriber for a few months now and look forward to my daily emails. You never fail to brighten my day. If I could be so lucky, I’d like the book to be inscribed,”To the ballet beauties-Tatiana, Malaina and Macy-Enjoy! from Ivory Soap(Deanna)
Hi Ivory,
About your camera…. if you’re not using the special lithium photo batteries in your camera already, I highly recommend them! My camera gobbles through regular alkaline batteries in less than three weeks and I don’t use it that much. The lithium batteries are more expensive, but they last much, much longer.
Good luck with that mystery cord

I love your blog and the email updates are wonderful! and with very little convincing I had my best friend Jen from Ottawa, Canada subscribe. I would LOVE to win the soap and washcloth all for myself and the book would be wonderful for my little cousin. “Dance like no one’s watching” and a signature would be fantastic!
I stumbled the giveaway and tweeted about it as well!

I’m also telling all my friends to come to your site and enter to win! (Christmas is coming, I can only hope they would be generous! haha)
I would like the book to be inscribed to Madison, always follow your dreams, No matter what they are.
I also subscribe to your blog.
Thanks to both of you for this blog.
loved your little chat on losing camera cords … you do have a way with words! I’ve been reading your blog for a while now, have it on my google page. Love all that happens at your home what with the chickens, goats, soap and all.
Have a little 6 year old niece that’s just learning to read and she loves all things girly and sweet. Please inscribe it: For Vetty~a lover of books and all things sweet!
Thanks for the opportunity to be entered into your give-away. If I had a blog (which I keep meaning to do) I’d definitely put your blog in there too!
That battery/cord scenario is played at my house quite often. Glad I’m not the only one. I would love the book, if I win, to be inscribed to Mrs. Thompson to be read to all who dance through her classroom.
Thanks
I don’t have any little girls in my family to give the book to….. maybe I could just find some little girl for a random act of kindness!!! That would be fun to do.
Thanks for having giveaways!!! It’s something to look forward to in these gloomy times!
Please inscribe: To lovely Ms. Madeline, who twirls on her toes in her tutu.
Thank you for offering such specialness here.

Hi, i would love to win any of the wonderful prizes available, but the book would be a wonderful thing to give as a Christmas gift! The inscription would be “To Olivia, Malin and Miranda, (whatever special message you deem appropriate) Deanna.
I Facebooked the link to the giveaway and I subscribe via email (is that two entries for me?) Congrats on the book an dhope it does well!
Shannon Watkins
Please inscribe: To Hayden, don’t stop dancing! Love, Ivory
I subscribe to your blog. I love reading your posts. You inspire me to do more at home! Love your sense of humor too. Thanks for sharing!
I posted your link on Facebook.
oooh, how fun! if i win the book, “To Emily, the most beautiful girl in the world. Love, Deanna” but honestly, i hope i win some soap. lol!
i posted your link on facebook, and put a link on the anticraft forums, as well!!!
I think your camera cord migrated up to St. Louis, maybe, and is in a plastic bin in my garage.
If I were fortunate enough to win the book I would love to have it inscribed to “La petite Sylvie.” She is the daughter of friends, and I’ve been getting books for her since before she was born.
Merci bien,
Nelie
Don’t have any little girls of my own, but there are two sisters at our church who would probably adore this book, so inscription would be “To Emma and Ella, Wishing you lives filled with joy and happiness.”
Would definitely enjoy the other gifts as well. Thanks for such a fun giveaway.
I subscribe by email, as well.
I’d love a book inscribed to my own 2 little ballerinas; Emma and Jane “May every ballet be as exciting as your first.”
Hi there Ivory,
I’ve been lurking for a long while (and subscribed to yours and TL’s email feed). Good luck finding the camera cord (have you checked under the bed? That’s where I found mine once).
If I was to win, I would like the inscription to say;
May your life take the form of a dance, full of colour and movement, together giving beauty and meaning to even the smallest steps.
Thankyou,
Hannah (Adelaide)
P.S. The website is my mother’s.
If I were to win I would love you to inscribe it to my daughter Meredith. But please, use your own words to encourage her, she is only 3, she loves to dance or sing. But I would love the mommy prizes too.
to Elissa
Can’t wait to read your book one way or another!
I would want the book inscribed,
“To Maya, always dream big”
I’m one of those people who never wins anything but it’s worth a try. My daughter’s 4th birthday is coming up so here’s how I would have it inscribed.
“Happy Birthday to Anwen. There are shortcuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them!”
Please inscribe it, “To the Kawamura Kids”.
Thanks!
I am a subscriber.
=)
Please inscribe “Kate, 2009″ for my granddaughter. A natural dancer, that one.
Jenny
Love your blog, thank you for all of the great inspirations and ideas!
I would love the book with any inscription you see fitting- there are some great ones out there in the comments!
Kate
I would want it inscribed, “To 4 little dancers that inspire their momma everyday day.”
Thanks for the giveaway!
