Day two of the “Anniversary Celebration” is a congratulatory post, announcing the winners of a recent contest! Tomorrow’s post will conclude the three-day celebration with a from-the-heart post (I hope that’s the origin of every post!), an exciting announcement about an upcoming book revision, and a related announcement about a free “sample chapter” download! And just because I love surprise blessings, I may throw in one of those, too!

Tomorrow, I will also post the names of the two winners who will each receive a set of seven Christian greeting cards from the Ed G Biv Etsy site (featured in the link at the top of the left-hand sidebar). Thanks to all who participated!

But today, it’s time to announce the winners of the WRW Month contest in February! Without bemoaning something that gave me so much joy, I will tell you that it took many, many hours of adding point totals to find the top three prize recipients—making me almost two weeks late in posting this! So…drum roll, please…the winners are:

1st place: Courtney H. — Prize: $50.00 Amazon gift card

2nd place: Michele P. — Prize: $30.00 Amazon gift card

3rd place: Jennifer P. — Prize: $20.00 Amazon gift card

There are more “honorable mentions” than I have time or space to mention, but I’d like to give a special shout-out to Lynnette S., Alice D.,  Doris W., Cheryl H., and Jennifer H.—all of whom had amazing point totals as well! Our first-place winner is an amazing teen striving for godliness, and I love that she put forth a stellar effort and knocked it out of the park!

Congratulations to each of the winners! I’ll be contacting you within the next week to send your prizes to you! All three gifts were anonymously donated by three kind and generous friends—and though they asked not to be mentioned by name, I want to tell them publicly that I am grateful beyond words!

Thank you ten thousand times over to all who participated, to all who cheered them on, and to all who returned in March even when there was no longer a contest as an incentive to do so! You made February of 2013 one of the best shortest/longest months ever!
