It’s time to announce the winners fo the Countdown to Christmas 2011 drawing!
Before we do, though, we want to thank the authors for participating in our Countdown to Christmas. We certainly wouldn’t be able to do it without them! Also, we want to say an extra THANK YOU to the authors for generously donating their books as additional prizes in the drawing. We appreciate each and every one of you!
We want to say THANK YOU and WE LOVE YOU to all of our wonderful LDSWBR followers. Without our blog readers we wouldn’t have a reason to do what we do. Thank you for participating in the Countdowns every year. We enjoy reading every comment and feel like we get to know our readers better with each one. Even if we aren’t able to reply to every comment, we read them all and laugh (or cry) with you.
The Countdown to Christmas 2011 has been our BEST COUNTDOWN EVER. Not only did we have the most amazing list of book prizes we’ve ever had, we also had the best participation by blog readers EVER.
