And the Winners Are …

Last Friday morning two names were drawn for the second Holiday Giveaway from the bloggers who had entered the giveaway. A slip with each entrant’s name were placed in a wooden holiday container. I asked my mother to mix the slips around and then to draw one.
Sheila of The Quintessential Magpie was the first name drawn. She chose the nativity set.
A Hint of Home was drawn next. She will receive the 1979 nativity plate by D'Arceau Limoges .

I prepared both packages for mailing, but since the ice storm had cut off all electrical power, I was unable to notify the winners until I reached my sister’s house and had access to a computer.

Back home on Tuesday December 16, I addressed and took the packages to the post office.
Many thanks to all that participated in the second Holiday Giveaway.

The Winners Are …

On Thanksgiving Day the Holiday Giveaway was drawn from the bloggers who had entered the giveaway, which ended at 10 p.m. Wednesday night.

I placed the slips with each entrant’s name in a footed bowl. I asked my sister to mix the slips around and then to draw one.

Melissa of Melissa’s Heart and Home was the first name drawn. Of the two prizes, she chose the nativity Advent calendar.

Ann of Life at Ann’s Place was drawn next. She will receive the blue and white nativity plate.

Both packages were mailed on my way home on Friday afternoon, since I had wrapped the packages and brought them with me late on Wednesday. All I had to do Friday was to write address labels and affix them to the correct package.

Many thanks to all who participated in the giveaway. Watch for a second giveaway coming soon.
