Woohoo, Suzanne!! I am doing the biggest happy dance you have ever seen. In fact, I think people are staring at me.
Oh well! Who cares. A big hearty thank you for drawing my name. Will email you.
Oh how great! I know they are so happy! Sorry I haven't been blogging but I am keeping up on facebook!
Hugs, Lisa
Congratulations to the two lucky winners of another one of your generous and much sought after gifts. I am sure they are both so excited.
As for the copying of your words...that had to be so disappointing to you. That would really bother me too. Hope it does not happen to you again. It is always a treat to visit your blog.
Congrats to the winners. I think they deserved it for sure. Great job girls!!!!
Congrats to the winners. Diana is a blogger friend of mine and I am so thrilled that she won. She is so sweet!! Sorry your text got stolen. That is terrible! Have a great weekend. Love & blessings from NC!
Congrats, ladies!! I'm so jealous of your great win!!! Suzanne, this was an amazing giveaway! It was SO much fun!!! I'm so sorry that your words were stolen. That's pretty pitiful. I enjoy reading your blog and will be back often!
Thanks so much!

Oh my goodness!! What can I say. I am so excited to be a winner. The beverage container is perfect for our summer family BBQ's.
My internet has been coming and going for several days. I was in the middle of reading this yesterday and lost it before I read my name.
Thanks you so much Suzanne for such a great giveaway. I couldn't be more thrilled. And thanks for the kind words too.
I am so sorry someone stole your words...what was she thinking? Thanks for the links, I will read them. I would not want to do that to someone.
I love your blog and look forward to reading it. I'm off to e-mail you, if I can. They are coming AGAIN today to fix this thing.
Oh, girl, I know all about copyright violators. Remember that scare I had last summer? There is not much that makes me angrier than someone who steals another person's work. Hope you got it taken care of!
I'm so sorry to hear about someone stealing your blog's content...not cool.
About your good news...I'm so happy for Beverly and Diane! They're both sweeties!! = )
Congrats to your happy winner! Recently, I received an e-mail from one of my readers telling me that she had seen some of my photos and "exact verbage" on another blog. When I went to the site, I was so shocked to see my photos and wording written as if it were the words of that blog author!!! To make a long story short, I wrote to her and told her to remove it! That is just not right!!!!! Just typing this makes me angry all over again. I don't know about you, but as for me, it takes me a LONG time to write my post 'cuz I wasn't an English wiz in school. I write it and re-write and re-write it again...so to see someone take my words and use them like they are their own, well that's just not right.
I hate that someone did that to you! Shame on them. Must not be southern huh? HA! Love your blog and just think of it as a compliment that they loved your words so much. Hope you have a great week! love ya

Oh shucks... I need to work on my begging skills! I tried!
Congrats to the lucky winners!
I am disgusted by the theft of your words. They are your property, and this person has stolen from you exactly as if she had waltzed into your home.
I read the comment above by the other victim of idea theft. (Janice). I would be so angry.What's worse, when you stop and think about it, it could happen often, and you just wouldn't know about it.
Good thing that I never have much of value to say. Even better that I'm a lousy photographer...
(The second part I'm trying to correct by entering another give away. That reminds me... I need to go and beg a bit more. Trying to do better than I did here...
Congratulations Beverly and Diana!
Blessings,
~Lynn
