First GIVEAWAY!

9 - 27 - 13

Today, you will always remember as the day you ALMOST caught Captai- Oh, sorry, wrong post.
But, though you may not remember today as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow, you WILL always remember today as the day you found the FIRST EVER GIVEAWAY for Cherry Varnish!

Having already been giving some things away to local people as a pay-it-forward thing this week, yesterday I caught wind of an even better reason to continue paying it forward, and indeed to up the ante a bit. 

#AJO

AJO are the initials of a lovely young woman on the cusp of true adulthood, who unfortunately had her sunshine darkened by epilepsy. Fortune further turned when she sadly passed away, shortly after requesting her [And my!] favourite drink from Starbucks, that only comes out this time of year: The Pumpkin Spice Latte. 

She never got to drink her latte. 

Her family, though deeply wounded from her distressing departure, felt a need to continue spreading her sunshine now that it was no longer possible for her to do so herself. And what better way than to give her favourite drink to a few strangers. They bought 40 [Yes, 40!] of the drinks at a local Starbucks, and requested it be paid forward and have #AJO written on the sleeves. 

They did so.
And not only did they do so, the employees of that Starbucks went a step further and came together to purchase 50 more drinks for customers, with the #AJO tag. 

It took the world by utter storm. 

And so, I'm releasing the following Facebook Giveaway in the hopes of further spreading this wonderful young lady's infamy and the saudade her family feels.

Rules, information, and where to enter are listed in the following post!
Good luck, and please pay it forward in the spirit of #AJO!!!
