We have a NEW Winner! (COPICS!)

(I meant to post this earlier, but I almost knocked myself out today hitting my head on a concrete counter top...yee-ouch!!) :{

Well, unfortunately for one, (but fortunately for another) it has been a full week since the winner of my Copic giveaway (MY BIGGEST CANDY EVER!) was announced, even after a prompt to contact me by yesterday's date, I've heard nothing.... :( so I had to draw a new name, and we have a new winner! :)

Sorry for deleting my earlier post. I guess I was too excited to spell correctly!Anyway, Melanie, your card is SO amazing! I love how you flip the card open and there's another flower! GENIUS!!!!Thanks for a chance to win some Copics! I don't have any yet! What a great giveaway!



Erin, surprise, surprise YOU won the box of Copics! Please contact me by email no later than Tuesday telling me your snail addy and which BOX you prefer: A, B, C, or D.



I hope the first person who was picked did not have some kind of family emergency or something, BUT, when entering blog candies, it's a good idea to come back and check the candy as soon as you possibly can after it ends to see if you've won, for everyone involved: those who entered, the person who needs to ship the candy, and yourself, it really stinks to miss out on candy (especially a big one like this!) I have a LOT more readers now and am in a position to offer more candies, and have more cool sponsors, but I need your help to stay on top of them. (I still haven't heard back from either of my Paper Temptress winners from last week either! I need these ladies to contact me by Monday or I will have to draw two new winners! Irene, I know you know you won from your comment, but I didn't get a mailing address from you, unless you contacted Patricia directly...? so please let me know! ) There is great stuff at stake, and more stuff to come if I can get everyone's help with these small housekeeping details, so thank you in advance for your cooperation! From now on I will post with every candy not only when a blog candy ends but when I need to hear back from the winner in order to send out the candy, so there is NO confusion!

Have a great night, I'm off to go work on more samples for our Gina K Designs release, sneak peeks starting in just about 48 hours!! And guess what? My set is peeked first this time!! Any guesses? (you'll never guess) ;)

  10. That bump on the counter sounds like something I would do. I'm glad you're okay!

    And I am in agreement with the other ladies...if you're having trouble with giving things away, I'd be happy to send you my address! New "toys" are always appreciated! :)

  12. Watch out for those head injuries my friend! I have to say I can relate! I am glad you are ok! I hope your readers don't mind, but my comment today is really a technical question: I am going to be offering my very first blog candy soon. I was wondering, Is it too time consuming on the part of the giver to link on the person's name that enters your candy to try to award the candy to them? You have hundreds of comments and I would only have a handful at first. I realize that as the giver a person should not have to do all the work and that as possible recipients, we should be happy to watch blogs where we enter see if we are winners. I only enter a few candy contests as I only visit a small list of blogs. I know with the anonymous ones our hands are tied but they aren't viable entries anyway. And when give the candy to someone else allows for a greater chance of winning for the other entrants. I am only trying to understand this process as the idea of blog candy (given or received)is so new to me. I know, also, that some blogs ask for you to list your email addy in your entry.. Is there danger in this? My email is lindabob2008@sbcglobal.net IF you have a minute to answer my questions I would be grateful. I appreciate that you usually take the time to respond to your readers! This is what makes your blog so successful! Linda Crowder
