A Joyful Noise

American Girl’s Luciana Vega: Our doll giveaway contest winner!

May 26, 2018 by Melodye Shore

It was so much fun to introduce American Girl’s Doll of the Year 2018, and to spotlight my guest blogger, Payton Rowley. She did an amazing job, don’t you think?

Here’s a couple of highlights…

When Payton filled JoyJars® for the Jesse Reese Foundation, she took Luciana with her.

They also toured the Air and Space Exhibits at the California Science Center. An aspiring astronaut of Chilean-American descent, “Lucy” dreams of being the first person to set foot on Mars.

We have lots of entries, and wow, your comments really touched our hearts. Thank goodness it’s a drawing and not an essay contest—it would’ve been impossible to pick one entry over another! So now, without further ado: Payton and her brother Logan created this video to announce the winning entry!

Here’s what our winner wrote about Luciana Vega:

She’s a beautiful doll that both of my daughters would love. I’m glad to see a girl that’s into space and science which my oldest daughter loves. She loves her story has read the book already and would love the have the doll! It’s wonderful to see a doll that can inspire young girls to go into the space and science industry. This why I love American girl! My daughter is into space right now had her own star chart, this past week she was telling me about worm holes. Fingers crossed that we can get a chance to welcome her into our home!

Congratulations Erin Wyllie! Please send your mailing address to me, so I can pass it along to American Girl. They’ll ship your Luciana doll to you directly, so be sure you put out the welcome mat for her!

Heroine’s Bookshelf: Contest winner

October 25, 2010 by Melodye Shore

Want to know who won her very own copy of THE HEROINE’S BOOKSHELF? I’d hold you in suspense for a little while longer, but you know how I am about keeping secrets…

Erin Blakemore drew the winner in a random selection process this morning, and she asked me to announce:

[info]tracyworld it is! 

Congratulations, Tracy! Erin’s on a whirlwind book tour right now, but she’ll send a copy to you next week.

Also…thanks so much to everyone who answered the question, "If you were hosting an afternoon tea party, which literary heroine(s) would you most want to invite?" If I could transport you all to my house for tea and scones, I hope you know I would. xoxo
