Enjoy!

The trusty Custom Random Number Generator has pulled a number out of the void! We have a winner this evening of the beautiful necklace donated by Chel at Created by Chel.

Drum roll please……………………

And the winner is…………………

#8 Peregrina!

Peregrina, please get in touch with Chel at her email address (createdbychel(at)yahoo.com) so she can send you the necklace.

And if you didn’t win, please do consider having Chel create something for you or for a gift for someone else.

Thanks, Chel, for sharing your talent with us! 

Chel from Chasing Contentment and I have been acquainted through our blogs for a few years. I am delighted that she has agreed to do a giveaway for readers here at A Gracious Home.

Chel is also offering a 10% discount to anyone who registers for the giveaway and then orders something.

Here is my shameless plug for her: Skip the malls and order a Christmas gift from Chel. You’ll be helping out a small business owner, fellow blogger, and an all around nice gal. You can view her store here and get in touch with her regarding any questions you might have.

Here is her description of the necklace:

The necklace is about 22 inches, and it’s made from dyed freshwater pearls and sterling silver. The clasp is unusual… I like to use distinctive clasps so that they can be an artistic part of the piece rather than just serving a functional purpose.The clasp on this one can be worn at the neck or twirled to the front. It can also be worn as a Y shape with a portion of the pearls hanging through the clasp. I like things to be able to be worn in different ways.

So leave your name by Monday, November 12, 2007 at 12:00 noon EST. I’ll draw a winner later that day!

Enjoy!

Here’s a little bit of this and that…

If Kelly H. from Michigan who sent me the books last year still reads here… Kelly, would you email me? I’ve lost your email address. Thanks!

I updated Sallie’s Stack this evening.

We’ll be having a give away next week and it will also include a discount for everyone who signs up for the giveaway and orders something. Check back soon for details…

I wish I had a book to give to everyone who entered! But I only have one and the blessed winner is…

#37 – Chel

This is really ironic, but I can’t tell you why it is ironic. At least not yet. But I will soon.

Chel – Please email me your name and address and I’ll get your book out with the other three winners.

I’ve got another giveaway lined up for early November and have a few more potential irons in the fire. As a small business owner, I love to promote small businesses so if you know someone who would like to do a giveaway as a way to let others know about their business, please tell them to contact me!

Yesterday Caroline and I stopped at Barnes and Noble for a bite to eat and quick browse. I found on the clearance table two copies of Susan Branch’s Autumn. So I bought one for myself and one to give away.

Since it is a seasonal book, I want to get this to the winner as soon as possible. So I’ll only be running this giveaway until Sunday evening, October 14 at 8:00 p.m. EST. If you would like to win this, leave a comment!

And two of the last winners haven’t contacted me yet. If I don’t hear from them by tomorrow, I will go ahead and draw two more names. (Cathy – I did get your email with your address!)

Good luck!

I know I am almost a week overdue on selecting and posting the winners so I apologize. The winners selected by the Custom Random Number Generator are:

#12 – Teresa

#13 – Mrs. N

#5 – Cathy

Congratulations! Please send me an email with your full name and mailing address and I will get those out to you this week!
