Here I am, coming up for air…finally. :-) It has been a busy week, and sadly I have not made my way through all of the emails that accumulated in the inbox a while back when our email company had some kind of a malfunction and dumped a bunch of stuff that should have been deleted back into the email stream headed to the inbox. I still have about 10,000 emails to sort. I started with 18,000 so I AM making progress…though it IS a bit slow.

But, I have cleaned a lot of other things off my schedule and will be able to focus more on email till I get it whipped back into shape, so I wanted to go ahead and post the winners of the previous two week’s contests.

To claim your prizes please send an email to me at Laurie @ black velvet seductions . com (no spaces). Please use a subject line that begins with Congratulations! as all of my prize notifications emails start with that and the prize winners will then be grouped (or filtered) and easy to find and reply to. Doing it this way will get your prizes to you much faster. :-)

If you won an ebook your email should tell me the title you want AND the format. For most people who are not reading on an ebook reader pdf is the best format because you can print pages and carry them away from the computer if you wish.

If you won pick of my books please provide the title of the book you would like and your mailing address.

If you won a picture frame magnet, a post it note folio, or a lace ornament or bookmark please include your postal mailing address.

If you won a Black Velvet Seductions paperback please include the title you would like and your mailing address.

If you won an Amazon gift card just confirm that your mailing address is working. Your Amazon gift card will come to you from Amazon in your email, so watch your inbox.

So…all that said…here are the prize winners for the drawings and spreadsheet up to this point. I do still have a couple other blog prizes to award and will be doing that shortly.

No…the Kindle didn’t go this week, but I’d be very, very, very surprised if it didn’t go by the 18th, which will still allow time to receive it by Christmas. Keep the comments coming. Someone is going to win, and the only way to enter is to keep posting. You will not win the Kindle based on anything you have ALREADY posted…though you are still in the drawing for Black Velvet Seductions paperbacks.

Here we go – the winners:

Congrats to everyone who won a prize this time. Good luck next week! I’m thinking the Kindle will either go this Saturday or next. Could be either one. Depends upon how voiciferous we all are. :-)

    Hi Laurie….Glad to see you took my advice…at least for a little while! Happy to see my name pop up on the winner’s list this week. Thanks so very much…and a big congratulations to the other winners. Enjoy your prizes!

  • JessicaB. says:

    Congrats everyone! Now all I have to do is post at least once a day from now on since I would love to be the one to win the Kindle. Thank you for giving us an update and a heads up.
    Wow! 10,000 emails from 18,000 emails. And I thought that my 1,000 unread emails with my total amount of emails being over 5,000 was a lot. Good luck on going through all of your emails!

    Good Evening Laurie and all!

    ?? There really is 10,000 emails in your inbox and there really were 18k previous to this. Holy buckets. LOL – I thought that was a coined phrase, “10,000 emails to go through. . .” Shocking — and shocking that you’ve gotten to 8,000 already.

    **smiling** Keep up the great work — I can tell it’s a labor of love. ~~To the winners — E N J O Y!!

    Wow, all those prizes…and I missed this time…which means I am still in the running for the Kindle! Congrats to the winners! I know I enjoyed the books I won in the past, hehe.

    It sounds like you inbox is actually worse than mine! I can’t seem to get through mine each day. Of course my problem seems to be that I keep getting sidetracked by the link-throughs–like this one, where I end up reading and posting. Gee, I wonder why I never make it through all my emails! LOL Good luck with yours….
