Happy Monday, Everyone!
You would think, given that it's Monday, the start of a new week full of possibility, that I would have something pithy or inspiring or at the very least entertaining to share with you all.
And I do!
I have exactly ONE THING!
(Prepare for the shortest post in the history of this blog!)
I'm sure you will all recall that on Friday we held a giveaway thanks to the generosity of Lori Degman. One of the commenters on Friday's post was promised a signed copy of Lori's new book, Cock-A-Doodle Oops!
Lori and I were amazed and delighted by how many of you stepped up to admit you were donkeys, chickens, pigs, goats, horses, cows, sheep, ducks, and wow! a whole lot of barn cats! Also, we loved your creative and original crows!
Random.org has done its thing, and I'm thrilled to announce that Farmer McPeeper and his barnyard menagerie will be winging their way to sunny Italy, because none other than the lovely Renee has won Lori's book!
Lori, thank you again for generously donating a copy of your wonderful new book!
Everyone who commented, thank you so much for joining the fun, and I hope you all get a chance to read Lori's fabulous book!
And Renee, please email me your address again because although I'm pretty sure I have it somewhere you will get your book a whole lot sooner if you just send me your address than if I start rooting around for it. I'm very ADD when it comes to searching... or house cleaning... and have a tendency to get distracted from my original task and go off on unrelated tangents and would likely end up sending myself a box of Perugina Chocolate instead of figuring out where in Italy to send your book :)
Have a marvelous Monday, everyone! :)
YAY! Congrats, Renee. Thanks, Lori and Susanna!
ReplyDeleteThree Cheers to Renee :-) Enjoy the book.
ReplyDeleteWHAAAA...? I have never won anything, EVER! Also because no one will ever let me play because I live in Italy. THANK YOU, Lori and Susanna! And it's signed - whoo!! I cannot wait to see this book. GRAZIE MILLE!
ReplyDeleteMy cock-a-doodle-mew is singing zippedy-doo-da-doo!
Woohoo, Renee!!!! Have a terrific week, Susanna!
ReplyDeleteThis is the start of an auspicious time for you, too, fellow Penguin!!! xo
ReplyDeleteI recently got my extraordinary critique from Lori (my fantastic prize from your Fractured Fairy Tale competition). I can attest that not only is she an incredible writer, but also a remarkable, generous, and thorough critiquer. I was dazzled and delighted.
ReplyDeleteI'm heading out to buy her book today.
Congratulations, Renee!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Renee! Cock a doodle doo!
ReplyDeleteOOOooooo, lucky you, living in Italy! My cousin lived there for a good 25 years and is so sorry he left! Congrats on your win :D
ReplyDeleteWell that makes it even more fun! I can't wait to send you the book! So send me your address! :)
ReplyDeleteI think Teresa is right! :)
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Catherine :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tina :)
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd like her critique :) And I know she'll be thrilled that you're going to buy her book!
ReplyDeleteYou too, Teresa! :)
ReplyDeleteYou too, Clar! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Victoria :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angela :)
ReplyDeleteAny time, Joanne - thank YOU for being here :)
ReplyDeleteYay, so happy for Renee and grateful that this was open to those living outside North America.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Renee! Now she can't say she's NEVER won anything! :D Gotta love double negatives. They're so positive!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Renee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Ms. LaTulippe! :D WHOA! That WAS a short post! ;) No teasing? No story about seeing that one pretty daffodil by the edge of the driveway? Or the crickets chirping around your yard? ;)
ReplyDeleteNo, Erik! Nada! Shocking, isn't it? This is what happens when my house is full of kids :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Penny :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha :) So true :)
ReplyDeleteWe are equal opportunity prize givers around here :)
ReplyDeleteAh. That explains it. Kids these days! *heh heh* ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Renee! And thanks to Lori for donating the book...and writing it!!!! I missed this fun giveaway...what was I thinking? :)
ReplyDeleteSorry you missed it, Vivian! I hope you'll get to read the book though - it's really cute :)
ReplyDeleteI actually won a copy from Angie Karcher during her RhyPiBoMo last month...I haven't gotten it yet, but I'm excited. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh! Lucky you! You will LOVE it :)
ReplyDeleteYay, Renee!! I'm so glad you won and I'll send the book as soon as you send me your address! You can send it to Lori@Loridegman.com. I'm excited Rooster's going international!!
ReplyDeleteVivian, I'm SO glad you posted this - I completely forgot to send it to you!!! Angie sent me your address so I'll mail it out later today or tomorrow - promise!! Next time you are expecting something from me - give me a big nudge - I'm very forgetful!!
ReplyDeleteWOW - thanks so much for the high praise, Mike!! It's easy to crtique when you're working on a quality manuscript! Can I quote you on my website?!!!
ReplyDeleteI meant to add that, in my opinion, you hit the jackpot when you moved to Italy!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lori!!!!
ReplyDeleteWait! Lori! I thought I was sending the book???
ReplyDeleteI need to sign it, so I thought I was sending it!

ReplyDeleteNo worries, Lori! I often wonder how I keep anything straight...there's always so much going on...as I'm sure there is in your busy life. ;) Please don't stress about it..I'll be thrilled when I get it and will post a review on Amazon! I know I'm going to love it. ;)
