You know the ole' saying, "All good things have to come to an end." I have never much cared for that phrase. When I am having a good time, I hate for the fun to end. That is just what the last five weeks have been for me, great fun.
I think the best part of my Holiday giveaway was not what I was offering to you the readers, but what you each gave in your heartfelt comments and memories of the holidays. I have read every single comment to each post and enjoyed them very much. Thank you so much for your support and contribution to this First Holiday Event here on my blog......this was so much fun, I can hardly wait until next year!
Now, I need to announce the last winner.....I used random.org to choose the winner. I am so glad I found that website, because I had no idea at the start of this event that the turn-out would be so great. It would have taken me forever to come up with a winner if I had drawn a name out of a hat! This week total number of entries at the close of the giveaway was 209 entries, I added 180 for each of you who have my button or have blogged about my giveaway. That made the total number of entries 389.
Thanks to all who returned every week and sharing things that means the most in your lives. You have really blessed us with your words.
Now....One last time.......Drum roll Please.........
The random number generator chose entry number 10.
I have to admit, I was a little sad to know that this was the last week I was going to scroll down the comment section and see who the lucky winner was! But alas, I smiled right away......congratulations Bo from Blinks 'N winks from brown-eyes you are the lucky winner this week!
I learned Bo is a Texan also, and I have to say, she will be most pleased at the cool Colorado weather in the summertime. It is nice to escape the triple digit heat of Texas in the summertime for a much cooler climate. Maybe she will think of us all while she sips hot chocolate on the deck at the cabin this summer, relaxing and enjoying God's Country! :)
Please stop off and visit with Bo, click HERE to see her delightfully decorated blog and home for the holidays, it will surely bring a smile to your face and brighten your day....and if you are not in the holiday spirit by now, she can help with that too. Psst.....I loved her display of Santas.
Congratulations to all the winners of my 5-week Christmas Cheer Giveaway. Here is a recap of all the winners:
Week One: Sara from Gitzen Girl
Week Two: Karla from: Ramblin'Roads
Week Three: BJ from Sweet Nothings
Week Four: lisalmg from: Mowermom
Week Five: Bo from: Blinks 'N Winks from Brown-eyes
I would like to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through!
