Giveaway Winner, revisited, and a lesson

Hello my lovelies!
 I'm not sure if you recall, but a few weeks ago
I had a wonderful giveaway from PrintRunner.


At that time, my daughter selected a winner.
Unfortunately that winner had no way for me to contact her.
Without a blog and no email address provided,
I could not relay the happy news
that she had won my giveaway.





So here in lies the lesson.........

If you are going to enter a giveaway at a blog,
any blog,
and you do not have a blog of your own,
please, please provide an email address when you comment
so you can be contacted in the event you should win. 


It's really a shame and I feel bad about it,
but I have no other option other than to select another winner.

Pulling from the hat milk glass compote again, I have selected

Lynn at UpCountry Olio!




Congratulations Lynn! 
I will be in touch. 

Happy Thursday friends!

  2. Oh no, I feel sad for the person who didn't leave an email... Is it ok if I'm pretty excited I was next? I have honestly been thinking about what I would do if I won! Now I get to try out my idea. Thank you so, so much Gina for hosting this fun give away!!!

  11. Congrats to the winner. I think second chances are often more fun than the first ones so I'll celebrate.

    Also, I love the little bumblebee party feature from the newbie thingie. Very cute!
