September & October 2016 Email Subscriber Giveaway (Worldwide) (Closed)

Montly giveaway exclusive to Just One Cookbook readers.

September & October Email Subscriber Giveaway | Visit JustOneCookbook.com

This giveaway is exclusive to Just One Cookbook Email Newsletter Subscribers!

Thank you so much for subscribing to my newsletters to stay in touch with my blog!  As a small token of my appreciation, I host a monthly giveaway just for my dearest subscribers. ♥

I was really busy last month so I didn’t host a monthly giveaway.  I’m so sorry!

September & October Email Subscriber Giveaway | Visit JustOneCookbook.com

So this month I combined September and October giveaways and I decided to give away four (4) $50 Nozomi Project Gift Cards.  If you’re a male JOC reader… don’t get disappointed.  Think of this opportunity as a special gift to a special person in your life.  And all the winners will also receive a copy of my e-Book, Just One Cookbook – Essential Japanese Recipes.

What is Nozomi Project?

I’m happy to introduce Nozomi Project, a wonderful social enterprise employing women in Ishinomaki, Japan, who are making jewelry out of broken pottery left in the wake of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami.

Story of Nozomi Project

I’ve been a supporter of Nozomi Project and all the hard working ladies who make these beautiful jewelry.  I love their artistic accessories and in the past I mentioned about Nozomi Project on my blog (read my post).

Here are my recent purchases that you’ll see me wear on my YouTube videos.

September & October Email Subscriber Giveaway | Visit JustOneCookbook.com

I thought it would be nice to give away gift cards instead of jewelry because everyone has different taste.  If you’re not into jewelry, they also carry beautiful Christmas ornaments like this!

    It’s quite jarring how something like a tsunami can slip your mind, and then you come across a project like this. It’s good to see people making something good out of the events, in the end.

    I joined the Nozomi Project email newsletter a while back after reading about it on JUST ONE COOKBOOK, but just now I did ‘like’ their Facebook page! This year I purchased various Nozomi necklaces as gifts to family & friends when we visited Hawaii for a wedding party. PLUS, I made a second order and purchased Nozomi necklaces and earrings for all the females on our Christmas list and for many birthdays. The response from the ones who received the gifts in Hawaii ranged from big smiles to tears of joy. Even family visiting from mainland Japan hadn’t heard about the Nozomi project and they were very touched by this gift since it benefits so many people! Thank you so much because if I hadn’t learned about the Nozomi project from you, these gifts would not have happened and the word wouldn’t be spreading like it is. ????
