I want to thank everyone who partcipated in the Save the Squeaky Clean Series contest. What a blessing! I loved, loved, loved reading about what everyone has done. You're all such an encouragement to me.
That said, it was incrediably hard to pick winners from all the entrants! But, it had to be done, so here are the winners...
Third Place (choice of ornament or bandaids <see below>): Laura Hilton. Laura sent out tons of postcards, went to her local libraries and bookstores, recommended the books to friends, reviewed it, blogged about it, talked about it through online loops, etc. What a woman!
Second Place (an Elvis ornament and crime scene tape bandaids): Deena Peterson! Deena, a blogger over at A Peek at my Bookshelf, is hosting me as Author of the Month. She went above and beyond in her efforts to spread the word both creatively and financially. Check out her site here: http://deenasbooks.blogspot.com/2008/11/author-of-month-introducing-christy.html
Grand Prize Winner ($50 Gift Certificate): Kathy Applebee! Kathy has been amazing. Not only did she write the script for "Writing Mysteries Can Be Murder," but she also wrote bible studies off of both books and lessons that homeschool groups can use. She posted all of it here for free!: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Search/hazardous+duty/All/All/All/All and here: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Search/suspicious+minds/All/All/All/All
Thank you all again for your support. Your prizes will go out at the end of this week!
