Back in January, I posted about a year-long giveaway called New Year=New Beginnings that I’m offering here on Frog on a Blog–a new prize each month for folks who comment on blog posts. With so much negative energy floating around in the world, I wanted to do something positive to show my gratitude to my followers, fans, and friends for their support.
I cannot believe how quickly this year has passed. It’s October! The holidays are right around the corner! Time is moving too fast for me these days, but at least I have the pleasure of announcing September’s prize winner and the October prize. First let’s recap January through September:
January’s prize was a copy of my book The Peddler’s Bed.
February’s prize was an adorable plushie Curious George.
March’s prize was a set of Pilot’s pens, a Night Writer 2-pack with LED lights, perfect for writing in the dark, and a must have for writers or travelers.
April’s prize was winner’s choice of either a picture book manuscript critique (for writers) or a Personal Library Kit (for book lovers).
May’s prize was a set of two darling bookmarks: A Hippo and a Crocodile.
June’s prize was a Maurice Sendak Nutshell Library box set that includes four tiny classics: Alligators All Around, Chicken Soup With Rice, One Was Johnny, and Pierre.
July’s prize was a set of two music CDs by the amazing Emily Arrow: Storytime Singalong volumes 1 and 2!
August’s prize was a super cute, super fun novelty Writer’s Block Journal filled with 300 blank pages, ready and waiting for inspiration to hit!
September’s prize was a Dr. Seuss finger puppet set featuring three lovable characters from The Lorax (my favorite Dr. Seuss book)!
And the winner of September’s prize is…
Sheri Murphy
Congratulations Sheri! Please contact me with your mailing address by clicking HERE. The Lorax and his friends will soon be heading your way!
If you haven’t won a prize yet, there are still three more chances to win this year!
And even if you can’t win because you’ve won already or because you’re not a US resident, I still welcome your comments and appreciate your support of Frog on a Blog.
October’s prize is a splendid scarf designed to look like a library due date card. It’s not too heavy, so it’s perfect for the cooler temperatures of fall or just for looking stylish.
Comment on this post or any post during the month of October for a chance to win. For more information on how to qualify for prizes, click HERE.
Due to contest/sweepstakes regulations in other countries, this giveaway is available to U.S. residents only. I’m very sorry fans and followers from other nations. I still appreciate you! All winners are chosen at random.
I love your year-long contest to encourage positivity, Lauri! Congrats to Sherri and all the other winners! BTW, the scarf is totally cool. 😉
