Blog Giveaway Results

This morning I went to random.org to select the winner of the Nikki McClure Endeavour calendar giveaway on my blog. Congratulations to #4, Vivian. I will be in touch to get you your calendar.

Thank you all who entered. I really enjoyed reading all the things that you endeavour to do in 2011. They are all inspiring, and represent a broad range of goals. I wish each and everyone of you success in achieving your goal in 2011.

Something that I am endeavouring to do is create a Life List (aka. Bucket List). I was inspired by Mighty Girl/Maggie Mason. I am not waiting until 2011 though, I plan to share my list by Thanksgiving on this blog. Often times, the best way to achieve goals is to write them down and share them, so that is what I will be doing.

Have a great week, everyone.

Paying it Forward: Blog Giveaway!

***CONTEST CLOSED***

Random.Org selected #4 as the winner.

Congratulations Vivian.

This week I received a very exciting package in the mail. It was the custom-made cookies that I had won on a blog giveaway. Melissa, at Making it Sweet, ran a little contest on her blog over the summer and I was selected as the winner. You can read more about it here.

How cute are these cookies? Look at that perfectly-detailed VW camper van, all the way down to the little air-cooling vents on the side. Swoon!

Anyway, it was so much fun being the winner of a little blog giveaway and getting a present in the mail, I thought I would pay it forward.  So, dear blog readers, I will be giving away a fabulous 2011 Nikki McClure calendar to one lucky reader.

Nikki McClure of Olympia, Washington, is known for her intricate and beautiful paper cuts. Using an X-acto knife, she cuts out her images from a single sheet of paper. The theme for her 2011 calendar is Endeavour.

This could be yours!

Fine print: Please only leave one comment for this giveaway, because it’s the nice thing to do, and also because multiple entries will be disqualified. I’ll use random.org to select the winner, and I’ll announce who won at the top of this post and in a separate post next Tuesday.
