another chance to win

I can smell it in the air. You guys LOVE the chance to win something!

So here we go again. I'm pleased to let you know that our "CKU in a Box" product is now available in the CK online shop. If you're not familiar with this, it's a project that I worked on with Lisa Bearnson and Tracy White. We wanted to bring the CKU experience right to your living room and this is the kit to do just that.



You can watch a video clip on Lisa's blog here (4/18 entry) that shows you a glimpse. Or go watch it on YouTube. And you can click here for more information, and to order the kit.

Lisa's giving a few away, and I'm doing the same! So woo-hoo for increasing your chances to win, right? Leave a comment with your first name, city, and state ... and tell us one thing you checked off your to-do list today. I'll announce the 3 lucky winners later this week.

In the meantime, congratulations to the winner of Donna's 2 new books! STACY P. in Claremore, Oklahoma ... shoot me an e-mail and I'll get those books to you (bhiggins@ckmedia.com).
