Happy Holidays to all! I hope everyone had a spectacular holiday with family and friends and lots of laughs and good food. I can’t believe we’re coming to the end of the year already. Seems the older I get, the faster time passes.
First up, time to announce the winner of the week 3 giveaway. Congratulations to Jackie Wisherd on winning the anchor watch and book-themed trinket box! Jackie, I will be in touch. And thanks to everyone else who left a comment about your favorite charity. I didn’t get to comment as much this week, but I read all of them, and enjoyed finding worthy causes I hadn’t heard of before.
Now, onto the big finale. To celebrate the end of the holiday season, the end of a good year, and my birthday this week, I’ve saved the biggest prize for last. Drum roll please….
The final prize of 2014 is a Kindle Fire!
This contest is open to US residents 18 or older and runs through Saturday, Jan 3, 2015. (That’s so weird to type!) All you have to do is comment here about one goal you have for the new year. We won’t call them resolutions because that word always seems to come with negative connotations, so let’s say goals. Mine is to read more and get my body moving. No specifics and no pressure, just a solid goal or two.
After you comment, remember to enter through the Rafflecopter widget. If you don’t go through the Rafflecopter, you’re not officially in the contest, so don’t forget that part.
