Remember the "Anchor Away" nautical themed necklace I gave away? Well my lucky winner was Katelyne who lives in Canada. Unfortunately I learned that shipping something to Canada is VERY expensive, in my eyes at least. I had to inform Katelyne of this who graciously told me to go ahead & pick another winner. Soooo the necklace is still up for grabs! If you are located in the US that is! :) For those of you who tried to win it last time you will still be in the drawing! At the same time though I am going to give my other readers a few more days to try & win this cute accessory! All you gotta do is become a follower (see the right side of my page) & leave a comment on THIS blog entry w/ your contact info. That's it! GOOD LUCK!!!
