WOO HOO! Thanks for a fabulous contest, Rebecca! You’re so clever to have thought of this to begin with.
The race was nerve-wracking at times though.
Hmm… I do believe this is the first thing I’ve ever one in my 3 decades of living!
Smiles,
Michele
Congratulations, everyone! I bombed out hard on this one. LOL I guess I should’ve had more friends come by and vote. LOL
Congratulations Michele! It was an exciting rush to the finish with the running so close the whole way.
Promotion is half the key, Jenn, but I still think you put together an excellent entry with valuable content. Just think what you might have accomplished if you’d pulled the AW community behind you.
@ Rebecca, thank you! It was exciting – and quite nerve-wracking at times!
It was fun as well.
@ Jenn, don’t be so hard on yourself. I agree with Rebecca. You could have very well left everyone else in your dust with AW’s support.
Great entry, by the way – and I loved your recent guest post!
Smiles,
Michele
Wow! Thanks so much!!! After a tough weekend it was nice to come home to this. Rebecca, thanks so much for holding this contest. I have really enjoyed your blog and contest or not, it is great to visit. So much great info. Congrats to Michele and Melissa! I had no idea I would even place! My blogging buddies and teacher friends must have come out in full force–I thank them for that (they know I’m an Amazon addict). Outside of a book giveaway I only recently won, I had only won a He Man action figure from Bubblicious chewing gum! I think I was 12.
Thanks so much!
@ LaskiGal, thanks! Congratulations to you, too! Well, I left a comment on yours and Melissa’s blogs congratulating you, but I forgot to do that here. Anyway, happy shopping!
Smiles,
Michele
Many congratulations Michele, LaskiGal, and Melissa! Wonderful work! And great entries by Jen and Laurie, as well! It’s too bad everybody couldn’t win!
Happy reading!

Thanks so much Rebecca! This was a fun and exciting contest
I can’t wait to go shopping at Amazon. Congrats to Michele and LaskiGal too. Great job!
I’m glad to help improve your overall win count LaskiGal! In similar news I WON something this week too! Fifth Division Lotto for our $19 Million Saturday draw. Came to $29 AUD which is nice, pays for two tickets for the next megadraw.
I love the writing community, my friends and coworkers who offer so much support. Thank you ALL of you! I’ll have to start thinking up ideas for the next contest.
Hey there! I’ve nominated you (one of 10) for the Excellent Blog Award for your awesome blog! I get a lot out of your posts and wanted to “pay it forward.”
