Happy New Year & Congratulations!

So, Happy New Year to all my blog readers!

Yesterday, I selected two winners to receive 2014 Desk calendars. From the 53 entries here on my blog, I used Random.Org to pick a number and it selected 46, which is commenter "sarah sar", also known as Sarah Khan. So congratulation to Sarah your calendar is in the mail! Also, from the 32 entries on my Facebook page, I used Random.Org to pick another number and it picked comment #10, which is Yasmeen Khan. Congratulations to Yasmeen, your calendar is in the mail too! (I think it's amazing that both winners have the same surname!)

Congratulations to the Winners

Thank you to everyone who entered Blue Ridge Origami's giveaway. Jeanne is offering a 10% discount on purchases in her shop until April 15th - just use the coupon code MARBLED10 at the checkout! Two winners have been randomly selected, using a random number generator at Random.org and the first winner is Maegan Morin (comment #7) and the second winner is Dolores (comment #29). Congratulations! Also, thank you Jeanne for sharing her story and generously offering to have an earring-giveaway here on my blog.

The Giveaway Winner!

Thank you, everyone, who left a comment for the Thanksgiving Giveaway. There were 110 comments! I can't tell where everyone is from, but just from the comments that included their location, I can see that I had comments from 9 different countries! Including Canada, USA, Denmark, India, Spain, Greece, UK, Belgium, and Netherlands - and there were probably people from other countries who didn't identify their location. I'm so glad that this little bit of Canadian Thanksgiving could be shared with so many people from all over the world.

Even more remarkable... the randomly selected winner (commment #9) lives right here in Nova Scotia, the same Canadian province as me. How unlikely is that?!

To select the winner, I used a random number generator at random.org.

So, congratulations to Nancy! Your new monthly planner will be en route tomorrow morning.
