and the winner is...
413 comments! Seriously?? I can't believe it myself. This was so incredibly FUN! My inbox was completely jammed from all the comments and I had a moment of drama/panic when I thought all them had disappeared and contacted Typepad, with the help of a fabulous girl named Kimberly, all was fixed (and she entered the contest herself! lol) Much love to the typepad people. Also, love to all of YOU! My blog readers ROCK, you are all absolute super stars, beams of light, and the best cheering section a girl could ask for. I read every single post (so did my Mom!) I spent some late nights reading into the wee hours, they were all so inspiring and lovely. Thank you from the bottom of my pink heart!
Ok, let's get onto the good stuff and announcing the winner....but first a happy dance (or our version of a drum roll!)
Our winner is #194, ShabbyJuls Please email me your address and your goodies are on the way! Thanks to everyone who entered and look for more crazy cool giveaways soon! Have a fabulous weekend~xo
413??? woah! that had to make you feel FABULOUS =) lots of us LOVE reading you blog, and of course it's always extra FUN to enter a give-away... debbie
