Beam N Read Still Rockin' at IHAN®- Pre-Holiday Giveaway!!

 Welcome to the Beam N Read Pre-Holiday Giveaway going on this week at  IHAN®.
 ( Event sponsored by Reading Light.com)

I'm still extremely pleased with my Beam N Read Light. So pleased in fact,  I take it with me frequently.   I had it with me this past weekend in PA.  The IHAN® clan went sneaking out of town on Friday to visit an ailing friend in PA..  I was naughty and didn't get my post up yesterday.  I'm really sorry about that.  I could tell you why....but....lets just say....do dah happens :)


I used my Beam N Read in the car because it gets dark around 6pm now and I wanted to keep working while Mr. McSteamy was driving.  The boys needed it to locate some things they dropped on the floor of the car.  While in PA, I used it to search my purse for a pair of nail clippers and to help the boys find their toys in the yard after dark.  Yes, I also use my Beam N Read to stitch...LOL.  I am always finding new uses for the Hands Free Beam N Read Light and it has become the "MUST HAVE" item whether I'm at home, traveling or stitching.  I took it with me to Quilt Market and used it as an extra source of light for taking my photos.....ya just never know when you may need to add a bit of light to your day!



This is a photo of Lady Eleanor and I (incognito).  You can see, I had embellished my Beam N Read with the IHAN® logo.  I thought embellishing my light was a great idea until people started wanting to buy them from me.  Quilt Market is a wholesale event and I'm not the manufacturer, yikes.  .I started to wonder if I had made a mistake.  As much as I'd like to say the Beam N Read Hands Free Lights were my invention....they are not!  I'm just the gal who loves to share all the excellent  things that I find with all my friends.  So I found myself taking those shop owners at Market over to the distributors to show them where they could purchase them for their stores.  Luckily for all of you.....you can buy a Beam N Read  from me....:)

While these are all wonderful sources of light.....they are not always convenient or available....that's why we all need a Beam N Read!  (Remember when I was telling folks about the Reliable V50 Iron?  Then Oprah Winfrey adds it to her O-List?  I'm just saying....don't wait for Oprah to tell ya when I really do know of what I speak :)

I  know all of those without power in storm that hit the East Coast would have loved having a Hands Free Beam N Read for each one of their family members affected by the power outages.  Why wait?


Share the gift of Light with a Beam N Read Hands Free Light .....perfect for any gift giving situation and just because you know it will be very useful to a loved one or friend.


DID SOMEONE SAYGIVEAWAY ?   

Yes, our sponsor, Reading Lights.com is giving one Beam N Read 6 LED Hands Free Light to one lucky person.   To be eligible to win you must be a member of one of these groups:
**** Stipulation by Reading Lights.com is that the Beam N Read light will only be shipped to US and Canadian addresses.

If you belong to all three of these categories you will get 3 chances to win!!!!  One chance per group.  All you have to do for each opportunity,  is leave a separate comment for each group and identify the group below telling me who you would give the gift of a Beam N Read 6LED Hands Free Light to and how it would benefit that person or group/organization.  The prize is yours to do with as you please after you win.....we just want to know who you think would benefit and how :)

(Feel free to Bling your own Beam N Read :)


Why do you think I'm offering so many opportunities to win?  Because I sincerely believe the Beam N Read Hands Free Light is truly one of those items you don't realize you need until you have one (I know that is true of me and everyone I've given one to.).  I give them as gifts to family members and friends because I never want them to to be without lighting if their power should happen to go out.

You know what?  Each one of them have thanked me several times for introducing them to the Beam N Read because they didn't know how great they are.  If you don't have one, you don't know, YET, just how great they are.  I believe there isn't a person on your gift giving list that would not be grateful to have one and I'll even back that up with a 100% refund guarantee ...shipping too...if you or you or the recipient is not 100% satisfied.  That is a huge think for a peanut size business like IHAN®!


OK then....Get to commenting and I'll select a winner on Sunday, November 18, 2012.  You have three opportunities and if you have any questions at all, please e-mail me at IHaveANotion@yahoo.com

Here are other Pre-Holiday opportunities to win a Beam N Read Hands Free Light:
Smiles,
Kelly

    I"m a follower. If (big if there) I were to gift this, it would go to my hubby, who now has bifocal contacts and complains about not having enough light to read by now. If I win, I'm sure he'll steal it often. I'm always looking for more light to see by, myself. Thanks for the chance. Hope the hand is healing quickly.

    I follow the ihan blog -- what a brilliant idea, I never knew such a thing existed. My eyes are getting old and the lights in my house seen to be getting dimmer as a result -- I would use it at home AND when I travel. Hope you are feeling lots better!

    With all the "eye" work I do, this would be perfect, especially because it travels! Not to be pushy, but yesterday was my birthday and 62 would be a lot sweeter if for once in my life I won something (although my hubby says I won the big prize when I married him and used up my allotment, LOL). XOXO

    PS- I would gift to myself. I love to peice Hexies, and sometimes the lighting isn't so good when I take it with me to the doc's office. (I get a lot of peicing done there!) Now if I had an extra one, I'd say my dear friend Julie. She does alot of hand turned applique and embroidery. Her work is awesome and I'm sure she'd put it to wonderful use!

    I am an IHAN newsletter subscriber and I would give a gift of a Beam N Read light to my four-year-old granddaughter because she would think it was cool to look at her books in the dark with just the Beam N Read for light.
