Oh boy, I am glad I came across this page. There are so many interesting things about you guys, I love it all. I love what you all are doing for the 5 year anniversary. The prize winner is very very lucky. Who could ask for a better prize? From a craft lover, it tops out any vacation or vehicle give away contest. Incredible.
October 8th, 2009 at 10:24 am
We will be announcing the winner of this shortly, please bear with us as we’ve had some serious technical glitches with Facebook and Twitter this past week. We want to be able to count all of the entries possible so it may take another day or two.
Cheers and keep on listening to BC!! – Daria
October 19th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Well it looks like our Facebook Fan Page was deleted in all the hub-bub with the hacker we had. I’m sorry I won’t be able to include those entries in our drawing, I’ve held off drawing the winner so I could include those entries but our group is no longer available on Facebook. We’ll have to re-open and start fresh. So sad!
I’ll post the winner from our Ultimate Drawing tonight – sorry for the delay, this has been something we couldn’t have anticipated.
