Heya jellybeans,
OK. As we know, over the last six months or so, the blogging community has saved my soul. You have held me up, held me tight, wiped my tears, listen to me rage against the unfairness of my world as it is. You’ve sent present, comments, Tweets and emails, and every time I reached out to the online world, someone was there, waiting to reach back.
So…. I’d like to, if I could, give a little something back to you guys. I don’t run giveaways here often- this is the first one, in the After; but this one is important. Let’s call it….
As much as I’d love to give every single one of you a prize, that just ain’t possible. So, instead, I collected as many different prizes as possible, to give you the greatest chance of winning.
OK, lovelies. Here’s the booty. I’ll fill you in on the how-to-enter bit and the end of the list. Stick with me here.
Let’s have a bit of fun here, hey? It will make a nice change for a bit….
