My New Year Giveaway lottery draw has now been duly performed (by putting folded pieces of paper with the names in the tin above and giving it a good shake, and then closing my eyes while drawing the tickets).
It turned out I actually had four calendars left (three was what I promised); and as the year is ticking on, and as (in spite of postcrossing) I still haven’t run out of inherited stamps, I decided to draw four winners.
And they are:
Scriptor Senex of Rambles from my Chair
Wanda of Got a Minute or Two?
Rae of Sun-Dried Tomato(e)
GB of Eagleton Notes
Well-deserved winners, all four. (But so would any of the others be who commented on that post! That’s why I had to draw lots…) Rae was among the very first followers of the forerunner of this blog back in 2009 (then called The Island of the Voices). Scriptor and GB were not far behind; and have become so much like “extended family” to me that it actually seems odd now to think that there was ever a time when I did not know them (in spite of the fact that I still haven’t actually met them). Wanda officially signed up as follower more recently, but we’ve been visiting each other’s blogs for a good while too.
Congratulations to the winners (and Rae and Wanda, don’t forget to send me your mailing addresses).
And to those who did not win this time – better luck next time! (when and whatever that might be)
And to All of Us, a Happy New Blogging Year!
congrats to the four winners.. you just reminded me, i need to get stamps. one book of 20 last me a year.
ReplyDeleteThey are always fun these giveaways. Well done to the lucky winners. I;m beginning to think that thanks to postcrossing I'm now keeping Royal Mail alive single-handedly.
