Celebrity Baby Shower Gift

McKenna was born on January 12, 2008 a happy, healthy baby. Now one year old, you might not notice the small scar on her upper lip, but when she gives you one of her ear to ear grins, you'll discover the huge hole in the roof of her mouth. You see, McKenna was born with a cleft lip and cleft palate.McKenna has already undergone a number of procedures, including wearing an uncomfortable contraption called a latham appliance in order to bring her upper palate close enough to sew together her lip.But her trials do not end there. McKenna still has several surgeries to go through to repair the gap in the roof of her mouth and dental reconstruction and then years of speech therapy to help her speak normally.McKenna's parents, already struggling with lost jobs, expensive health care and the burden of childcare, are facing mounting medical bills with no end in sight.In her short life, McKenna has already experienced more discomfort and pain than most of us will in a lifetime, but that doesn't stop her from being the most smiley baby you'll ever meet.So if you would like to help McKenna and her family, please purchase our "Hope for McKenna" charity kit. All proceeds will go directly to the family to help with medical bills. If you are not a digital scrapbooker, but would still like to help, you can click the donate button below. The Fantabulous, Grand Dame of Romance, Julie Garwood, is having a giveaway in honor of her upcoming new release Sizzle!

Dear Friends,

I hope you're enjoying the holiday season.

I'm happy to announce that SIZZLE will be in stores December 29th.

In it you will meet Lyra Prescott, a film student working on a documentary project, who soon discovers that nothing is as it seems. Lyra has two great obsessions: movies and chocolate. I happen to love them, too, so this week, I'm giving away a box of my favorite chocolates from Andre's Confisserie and a $100 gift certificate to AMC Theaters.

I'll draw the winner's name from my guest book entries, so be sure to tell your friends to go to my site, www.juliegarwood.com, and sign up.

I'll announce the winner next week, and also introduce you to SIZZLE'S Sam Kincaid. So stay tuned for my next email and more prizes.

All the best,

Julie
