Elizabeth!

Congratulations, Elizabeth! I have sent you an email with further instructions. Please respond within 48 hours, or a new winner will be selected. (Also, to avoid confusion since there were at least 3 Elizabeths, the winning Elizabeth is the one who only entered her first name.) The winner was chosen by the Random Sequence Generator.

I want to thank ALL of you for making my first giveaway such an awesome success. There were 185 entries - way more then I would ever have thought possible! I wish I had something to give to all of you because you made this giveaway so much fun! In fact, I had so much fun that I hope to make future plans to have even more giveaways. I'm not quite sure just how and when and what, but stay tuned!

It seems like someone disagreed with my earlier post about the Southwest Lifestyle Lotion. That's fine; disagreements are not all bad and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I will not allow rude comments to be posted to this blog and thus, they have been deleted.

I am happy to know the lotion works, but that's not the point I intended to make. I try to only post about the freebies that are truly free - no strings attached. When I realized this lotion came with a shipping and handling fee, I felt my readers deserved to know. Whoever doesn't mind paying the fee is welcome to order the sample HERE.

Thanks for helping me to keep this an upbeat, encouraging blog!
