Dear Ms.Turbin,
  
    My name is Ashley Carvalho and I attend John Hopkins Middle School.I am in the Fine Arts program because I like art.
I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of your contest.I was there with my younger cousins to watch them.
Because I like to read and do art it was fun to draw the picture for the contest.I didn’t even know it was a contest I was only doing what I like to do.
  
Thanks again,
Ashley

Tina Turbin Praises Another Author

Copy of GreatGames Front Cover Image

I seldom meet or speak to a man that is SO into family that he devotes his life to spreading his views, hopes and dreams as an author by helping families to improve or be happier. I got goose-bumps just speaking to this man over the phone, though I was thrilled to meet this man, and I felt like I had an instant friend.

I share a bit of Matthew with you here:

Growing up in a family with eight children, Matthew Toone learned at a young age the importance of family. He refers to his parents as the ultimate example of effective parenting, and considers his siblings as his best friends. His hope and goal is to bring families together more often, share helpful information and products, and provide fun and meaningful resources for families everywhere.

As a successful entrepreneur in the Washington D.C. area, some of Matt’s latest projects include: www.GreatGamesBook.com – Matt recently published a book entitled: Great Games! 175 Games & Activities for Families, Groups, & Children! This book is filled with fun games for people of all ages, groups of all sizes, and includes games for any setting. More than games however, Matt’s purpose in writing this book was to bring families together and provide fun and wholesome entertainment for everyone! This is why I have elected to add him to my blog and share news about him with you.

Take a look at www.AwakeYourPotential.com – Matt recently created this blog, which focuses on inspiring people to achieve their goals and dreams, live up to their full potential, and learn the secrets for success in anything.

Matt emphasizes that his greatest success is his family! Matt and his wonderful wife Heather are the proud parents of two sons, Brenden and Nathan.

Thank you, Matt, for all you are doing!
Tina Turbin
