Quick update: Over 8 years, I’ve only missed a daily blog post twice (despite power outages, hospitalizations and unexpected, emergency travels). The first miss came a few years ago when my blog was hacked, and I couldn’t access my blog. The second miss came yesterday. From about 12:30 pm on Monday until around 2:00 pm on Tuesday, I was asleep in bed. I’ve never slept so much in my life. I am pretty sure the flu got to me (irony alert – I was scheduled to have my flu vaccination yesterday morning). I’ve been keeping hydrated with lots of fluids and have focused on the rest my body needs.
Over the weekend, I announced a Blog Candy Giveaway for the All Squared Away Bundle and some other goodies. After a lot of amazing responses, I had to pick a winner. What fun!
Today I’m sharing the name of one lucky winner for leaving a comment on the Blog Candy Giveaway post.
The Big Winner
To be registered for my drawing, I asked you to please respond to a simple question: What will you always remember about Christmas 2021?
I read each and every comment, and I loved hearing about the memories you’ve created with friends and family. Some were together with family, while others celebrated virtually. ♥ In the end, though, I had to randomly select a winner (it was in the rules).
The winning response came in just after noon on Sunday – the winner of this blog candy giveaway is Linda. Here’s her super-sweet response:
Here’s what Linda has won:
- All Squared Away Cling Stamp Set
- Floral Squares Dies
- A pack of Medium Envelopes (there are no better envelopes than the ones Stampin’ Up! sells)
- An assortment of cards I’ve made
- A couple of other surprises I’ll throw in at the last minute
Fun, right? Please help me congratulate Linda on her big win! Linda, I hope you’ll email me at [email protected] so I can get these goodies in the mail to you. ♥ YIPPEE!
Thank you all for stopping by today! I love to share these goodies with you and look forward to sending a package out to Linda!
