Holiday Gift Giveaway Hop Winners

I'm sorry it always takes me so long to report the results of my contest, and I honestly don't know how some of you get the results of your contests up so fast sometimes.  It took me a little while to add up the extra entries, and I had over 300 original entries alone.  I tend to keep my entries pretty simple, so for those of you who have massive bonus entries, I am in awe of you, REALLY IN AWE OF YOU!!!  And like I've said before, I really don't think I'll ever get around to ever posting the winner the next day to any contest I host as I have a job that is too demanding for that.  But I do try, honestly!!

On to the winners!!

Prize #2: $20 GC to SilknLights Design - Leslie M

Prize #3: GC to Willow & Quinn - Callista

Thank you to everyone who participated in this very successful event, and especially to the hostesses!!!  I hope you will come back and visit again to see what is happening the rest of December and in the New Year.

Winners to Announce

Winners!

Now that I had some free time on my hands, after a very hectic several weeks at work, I thought I'd see to finally choosing some winners for the various contests I had happening on my blog.  Without further ado, here they are:

Congratulations everyone!  I will be emailing you shortly in order to get you snail mails.  You will have 72 hours to respond before I choose another winner.

I owe all of my followers a huge thank you for being patient with me as I was going through some very hectic days at work and some family challenges; it was nothing major, just the usual things that crop up in families, but they caused some hiccups along the path to relaxation.  I'm hoping that things will settle down as we approach the holidays and I'll be able to get in some very much needed relaxation time and some reading time.  I'm looking forward to spending some time with my amazing kids during the holidays. 

I also hope that you will stick around and see some of the interesting things that are looming ahead.  Stay tuned for the upcoming Gratitude Giveaway beginning November 17, and don't miss out on the Gift Card Giveaway beginning December 1st, hosted by the amazing Simply Stacie.  And I will be participating in a variety of tours as well.  As always, things are always busy in the world, but life would be boring if it was any other way.

Happy reading everyone!
