The Bernard Pivot Blogfest was a phenomenal success, and I want to thank everyone who played along for making the event such a great party!
I made it around to almost all the participating blogs yesterday -- as of last night an astounding 150 of you had signed up! *waves to all my new friends* *fist-bumps to all my old friends* (<-- old?- lol)
As I made my rounds, I added you to a Word doc list, to kept track of your entries in the giveaway. If you didn't have an entry posted yet, I made a note on the list. So, there are still a couple blogs I need to go back and check today, as well as the seven additional peeps who signed up after I logged off last night. All this to say: If I haven't commented on your post yet, I'm on my way!
And speaking of the giveaway...I realized I never announced the prizes. #HostFail So sorry!! Here's what all you lovelies who signed up for the blogfest are in the running to win:
(Originally, I was only going to offer one prize. But as you can see, in helping me celebrate 500 followers, my number shot over 600!! You all SOooooo ROCK! Thank you for spreading the word and introducing me to new friends.)
In appreciation for all the promoting and support you've showered me with, I'm doubling the prize package so that two names will be drawn, instead of one! And I'm officially closing the drawing entries as of this posting. So blogfest participants #2 to #157 are eligible for prizes.
Two blogfest participants, chosen by random drawing, will EACH receive:
Y A $25 Gift Card to Barnes and Noble or Borders Books (your choice)
Y A copy of Literary Foray, the anthology featuring my short story, and fiction and poetry by these fellow bloggers: Jessica Bell, Matthew Rush (a.k.a Matthew MacNash), Adriana Noir, Mara McBain, and Noelle Skeldon.
YAnd, assorted goodies J
I'll announce the winners tomorrow around noon! Remember, those of you who had my blogfest logo on your sidebar have your names in 5X! Good luck to everyone!
Now, I'm off to visit those last blogfest entries, and then I'm having lunch with Summer Frey!! Can't wait!
