Today we’re pulling two winners from my hat! The first winner is … (insert suspenseful-sounding organ music here) … Sandra Leigh! Sandra gets to choose between Something About Her and Tender Graces. The second winner, who has already said she’d enjoy either book, is … MarthaE! Congratulations, Sandra and Martha! Please send your shipping information to katrina (at) stonoff (dot) com, and I’ll get your books winging home to you (oh and Sandra, I also need to know which of the two books you prefer)!
For next week, it’s time again for Your Choice! Any book! Well, any book readily available for $25 or less, not including shipping (blah, blah blah). Just comment below with the name of the book you’re wanting to read and come back Monday to see if I’ve drawn your name from one of my hats! Contest is open to anyone, anywhere, who has access to reliable mail service.
Now, the hat from which I drew Sandra’s and Martha’s numbers (Hat #45):
This is my latest hat, and definitely my favorite!
It’s my favorite color, for one thing. It’s deliciously warm and rabbit-fur soft.
But best of all, it was hand-made especially for me by my nieces who are just learning to knit.
Isn’t it beautiful?
Thanks, girls!! I love you!
May 4, 2009 at 6:06 pm
