    Holly, didn’t know you were also a contestant but I have seen enough of your writing to know that you’re an excellent writer and blogger. So well-deserved congratulations to you as well and to both for entering.

    This is great news! Thank you to Kiesha and all you fantastic sponsors! Nice to get a bit of cheerful news today. New camera, here we come!

        Thanks, Melanie & Hajra! Love being a part of the Three Musketeers! I think this turned out just PERFECTLY. I accomplished all my goals – win enough to buy a new camera, get the special prize I got (how did THAT work out???), make fantastic new friends, have a blast – it doesn’t get any better than that!!

        I owe a HUGE thank you, too, not only to all the wonderful folks who regularly comment on blogs, but to the friends whose arms I managed to twist into doing it just for me – or into signing up on sites like Blog Engage, Blog Interact, and Blokube when they don’t even HAVE blogs. Getting non-blogging readers’ perspectives in the discussion is priceless, to me, because those of us who blog will never be completely objective readers.

        I’m home now, but I’m exhausted and may never catch up on email, facebook, blog posts, comments, and the like – I just want to thank everyone who wrote to express their concern for my family and me, it meant the world to me.

          Nice to know you’re back home, Holly, and don’t stress over trying to catch up. Do what you can reasonably get done and let the rest go. Given the circumstances, I’m sure people will understand.

          Wow! You got “non-bloggers” to support you through this contest?! That deserves an award. :)

          Take good care of yourself and come back to the blogosphere after some much-needed rest.
