July Winner & a Blogging Break

I’m taking a blogging break until Monday, but first: July’s blog drawing winner is Jessica P.

Woohoo! Congratulations, Jess! Contact me with your mailing address and I’ll get your $15 Barnes & Noble gift card in the mail.

Remember, at the end of each month I’ll have another blog giveaway for an equally cool prize.

To recap, here are the rules for my monthly blog drawing:

You may comment as many times as you like per post, of course, but your name will only be counted once per post.

*AND…since I post three times per week, if you choose to leave a comment on each one of my posts, that’s approximately 12 entries per person by the time the drawing rolls around!

*For those who SUBSCRIBE to my blog post updates, your names will be eligible for the end-of-the-month prize drawing, as well. In fact, when you initially subscribe (SEE THE SIDEBAR BUTTON) you will automatically be entered into the end-of-the-month drawing twice. In other words, if for some reason you don’t feel comfortable leaving a comment, you still have a chance to win merely by subscribing to this blog! As long as you remain actively subscribed to my blog, your name will be entered into the prize drawing at the end of every month. (Keep in mind, however, your chances of winning are greater if you leave a comment, too.)

*Blog commenters’/subscribers’ e-mail addresses will not be sold, bartered, spammed, or given away. Unless…it’s for really, really good chocolate. *Kidding!*

Blog prizes/treats will include, but not be limited to: gift cards such as Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com, restaurants, etc., books by our fave authors, gift and goodie baskets, and anything else my creative mind can come up with.

*Now, in accordance with the FTC guidelines, here are some RULES I must tell you about:

• To win, you must be age 21 or over.
• Due to mailing restrictions, blog drawings/giveaways are limited to U.S. residents only.
• This drawing is void where prohibited.
• Each monthly winner is randomly selected and determined by the number of entries received AND by blog subscribers (as of June 2012) who remain subscribed to this blog.

Please return Monday when I’ll announce what my blog prize for August will be.
