First, let me thank everyone that entered my giveaway. Those that opted for two prizes - one for each blog - far outnumbered those that wanted one 'winner take all'. So, I have two winners to announce!
Susan, over at Christian Writer/Reader Connection, was the winner from this blog. She will receive a $25,000 gift card... whoops! TYPO... a $25.00 gift card from Borders / Waldenbooks. (Sorry, I couldn't resist having a little fun.) She can finally buy that much wanted book that didn't show up under the Christmas tree!
The survey results from this contest told me you mostly enjoy reading about my journey and random essays, along with book excerpts from my WIP. But everything on the list was checked at least once, so I'll try to include all those things in this year's posts. I will keep my focus, however, on those topics you said you enjoy most.
The winning entry from my farm blog came from Rhonda over at Shellbelles Tiki Hut. When she replied with her snail-mail address, she told me there is a Bath and Body Works just down the street from her home! How nice... especially since her prize is a $25M gift card from there! Oops... another typo. $25 is the limit on her card. Sorry Rhonda.
I sure learned something from the survey on this one! I learned that I have two kinds of readers... one type can't make up their minds, and the others want it all! Yes, most of you said, 'whatever you like' or check every box in the list. So, I guess I will continue with a similar mix to what I've been posting on there.
I love giving gifts!
Perhaps I'll make this an annual event.
Thanks again to all that participated.

Are you sure you didn't pick the wrong Susan????? :) Seriously, congrats to both the winners.
Sorry, I'm waiting for the $25M gift card, I don't care what you say…typo or not!
It's true though, BBW is just 6 miles down the main street I live one block off of. How cool is that? AND they have a new line called Island Escape, so you'll know what isle I'll be heading for!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Lily, I am so excited for my Island Escape prize! I don't even need plane tickets!
Hi Lily -
Woohoo! Thank you for the gift certificate to Borders/Waldenbooks. I can't wait to see what deals they have available. :)
Blessings,
Susan

How are you doing, Lily? Came by to see an update, but nothing new. Praying all is well with you!
Hey Lily! for some odd reason I don't think I've ever made over to this other blog of yours! shame on me!!!
As I was trying to catch up on the blogs I frequent - after my web absence due to travels - I noticed you haven't been writing as much lately... I hope everything's all right! Perhaps you're locked in the pages of your future book? Good luck with that! :o)
Hugs and Happy New Year from the other side of the pond!
You have a fabulous blog! I want to award you the Brilliant Writer Blog Award for all the hard work you do!
I invite you to follow me, if you haven’t already done so, since we have a lot in common, but no pressure. I’m not giving you the award just so you will follow me. You really do deserve it!
Take care:-)
