Let's Keep the Giveaway Going
Tuesday, May 27, 2014 at 12:35PM 
I just chose (at random) my first four winners of the huge, gorgeous (sorry to be immodest, but I'm really crediting the printing process) coffee-table-size softcover edition of 365 Days of Gratitude: Photos from a Beautiful World.
They are Kit Cooley, Rose Lamatt, Fran Simmons Schouten, and Claudia Robinson.
Now. I always feel bad for all the people whose names I didn't draw. But I have a lot more of these. So what I'd like to do is extend this to a monthly giveaway.
If you didn't win, but still want one, 
leave a comment below. At the end of June, I'll draw another winner, and we'll start again for July. That way everybody gets another chance. (And another. And another.)
As always, please do leave your email address in the comment form. I promise I won't use it for any other purpose but to notify you if you win. Don't leave your email address in the body of your comment unless you want everybody to see it. And remember the "author" in the comment form is the author of the comment, not the book. In other words, you.
More winners is better, right?
Catherine
Sorry for the delay on this, but I was out of town. Choosing a name this morning.

The winner of the 365 book for June is Melissa Caudill. But don't worry if you're not Melissa. We'll be starting a July giveaway any minute now.

CRH always publishes meaningful books! !
Thanks, Mrs. D, and I'll take that to mean you want your name in the drawing.
You are so generous giving away these beautiful books! Hoping to be a winner next time! Though I'm perfectly glad to pay for one of these gems!
Barbara, I've added some info to the righthand sidebar of the 365 book page on this site (click on the name of the book in the navigation bar page left, or the name of the book in this blog post) so people can buy them. They are not all that cheap, because the color photos are so expensive to produce. But for those who can afford them, there's a link. For those who can't, or would rather not, there is the $3.99 ebook... and these giveaways.
Yes, for certain !!
I'll cross my fingers...and toes...and hope to be one of your future winners, Catherine. :-)
Anything by Catherine is heartwarming and captures the beauty of the human spirit and the world around us!! Love her work!!
MEMEMEMEMEMEEEEEEEEE. :) I bought the e-book already, but would be tickled to win a hard copy!
Pick me!
Catherine, just the fact that you're willing to give these priceless books away when you could easily market them reinforces the generosity of spirit that you Own. I'd love to be considered in the running again for your "365 Days" book... Thanks so much!
Thanks, Carlyn, Candy, LaVerne, and Rosemary. You're in. Unfortunately, we have one "Catherine Ryan Hyde," (a common misconception that "author" in the comment firm means me) and because that person left no email address, I have no idea who it really is. So if you read this, please come back ad tell us who you are so I can enter you. And I need email addresses so I can contact you if you win (and for no other reason--I don't spam).
Catherine, I have really enjoyed reading your novels, and when I woke up last night (to my 8-year-old screaming with strep throat pain) I finished reading Funerals for Horses. Loved it! I love how you capture a place - Arizona, California with such detail.
So please enter me, too. I'd appreciate it!
What stunning books!!! Certain to be delicious! Please enter me into the drawing!!! :)
Thanks, Holly. That means a lot to me, especially with Funerals For Horses. A lot of people leave terrible reviews on Amazon for it, probably because they expect it to be more like my newer work, or because it contains more sex (which I warn people about in the new introduction). So it's nice to hear from someone who "got" it. It used to get terrific reviews, but I think that was back before people had a different expectation for it.
Thanks, Cari. You are in!
Unfortunately we now have two people who entered my name instead of theirs and left no email address. So unless they read this and leave a new comment, I have no way of entering them, which is a shame.
Oh yes please!
Good luck, Ciara!
Our entire family loves your books!!!
We have never been disappointed !
The book a "pay it forward" and "the day I found you "
were amazing! It takes a wonderful heart and mind to
write such beautiful books! Thank you!
Cynthia
I love seeing you're beautiful pictures each time you post them :) And love reading the books you publish, my wife has become a fan for sure...Thanks for all you do to inspire and give us all a break from a sometimes dreary world !
Please, please, please! Yes, I am begging :)
I love you're Daily Gratitude Posts on Facebook( as well as all your other posts and photos). Would love a copy of this book!
Great response! Thanks Lise, Pat, Cynthia, and Tc/Paula. You're entered!
Your photos always make me grateful to be alive.
That's a lovely thing to say, Kari. Thank you!
Of course I didn't win the first time.....here is to a second chance for a beautiful book!!!!!!
How fun, a fantastic blog and a chance for a precious memory of CRH. Count me in.
I'll be giving quite a few of these away, Kathy and Cheryl, so as the months roll by, those who keep patiently signing up should have very good odds. Good luck!
Congratulations to the winners! Please enter my name for the next drawing. I definitely still want to try to win one.
You've got it, Cindy. There will be many more chances.
Hi Catherine,
Thanks for your generosity and lovely spirit. I'm sure I'll purchase this picture book at some time.
Blessings,
Tamara
In the meantime, Tamara, I hope you win one.
So glad to have a second chance at winning your Gratatude book.Am keeping my fingers crossed!

The book looks amazing, Catherine! And why not? It's yours after all. As one of your many fans I'd certainly love a copy, too. You're very generous to keep this going. Thanks for sharing your talent!
Thanks, Stefanie! That's so sweet.
Entering my name! What beautiful pictures.
Thank you, Tory!
Servus! My name is David, I'm 17 years old and I come from the beautiful country of Austria (Europe). I just bumped in your blog through Wikipedia and to me, your blog might becomes one of those where I also really wanna read the entries. But I just know you / your work just for a few minutes now of course. So for me as a student, I would not only like to win this book from you :D because books for students are hardly affordable, no I also just want to say Hi :)
Please keep up writing and inspiring all the people around the world with your awesome work and your attitude. :)
David
So glad you found me, David! I'll enter you in the drawing, and so happy you stopped in to say hi!
I would love to have a copy !
Thanks, Pam. But I don't have your email address in case you win. Will you come back and comment again and leave it in the comment form? Or if you're a Pam I know, and whose email address I already have, will you tell me which Pam you are? Thanks!
I thoroughly enjoy your books and hope I'm a lucky winner of the give-away! I'm a newbie novelist myself (working on my first) and your style is what I aspire to. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks, Melissa! You're in!
Thank you again for the chance to win!
