The Gift Basket Giveaway Winner

by Tsh on August 26, 2008

Wow, you all know a fabulous giveaway when you see one! There were a total of 1,571 entries. That is such a compliment to these vendors! They really are great and produce quality stuff.

I know you all are on the edge of your seat, so without further adieu, the winner is…

… Karen Putz from Deaf Mom World!

Congratulations, Karen! Please send me your snail mail address so I can pass them on to the shop owners.

Thank you so much to all of you for entering – I wish I could give something to each of you. But I’m not made of money.

But I do encourage you to visit these shops. I’ll be ordering some Christmas presents from them as soon as I publish this post.

AMK Designs – reusable, eco-friendly produce bags
Bliss Candles – clean-burning, soybean candles
Marie Madeline Studios – beautifully hand-crafted aprons
Lazy Organizer – sturdy, see-through organizing bags
Busy Nest Cards – high-quality, customized mommy calling cards
Plum Pear Apple – durable, happily-colored superhero capes
Pear Budget – beautifully simple online budgeting tool

Come back Wednesday for a guest post, and on Friday, I’ve got something new to show you. I’m super excited about it.

Alright, I’m off to enjoy some cake and ice cream…
