  12. Hello Winners,

    If you won a gift certificate, the info will be emailed to you.

    I will be emailing winners for snail-mail info to send prizes.

    Zoe, when I added more prizes to make sure everyone won, I added an extra, evidently! Please don't worry about it, enjoy both :)

    If anyone is NOT LISTED for a prize, please message me or comment. It is very important to me that everyone wins. I am one of those people who never wins in blog hops or comment give-a-ways, lol, and I wanted this hop to be FUN and special for everyone: YOU ARE ALL WINNERS!

    Thank you with all my love and appreciation for being a part of October Fest 2012!

    Fly well,
    Rita
