OMG I WON!!!!!!



I cannot believe it, I won, I won the grand prize giveaway for the Bout of books read-a-thon.  The post from their blog announcing me as the winner is here and this is the prize i have won.  To say i was shocked is an understatement, i couldn't believe it, i was so overwhelmed and so so happy.  Initially i felt like i didn't deserve it, with being a newbie to all this and this being my first read-a-thon, i thought that someone else deserved it more.  Especially since hardly anyone has even said congrats-on that page or to my twitter and i think that's really sad.  However, after some chatting to some other bloggers, i realised that everyone deserves it and everyones has the chance to win if they enter.  I have worked hard on my blog and i know i need to put more into it, which i will but it takes time to build an 'all singing and dancing blog'.  Yet, it was never my intention to have that sort of blog, i did this for me, and for the content of the blog but i will work on the aesthetics.  Another thing is that i put so much into effort into the read-a-thon as i discussed in the wrap-up, so i did participate and i even met my goals on my first read-a-thon even with all the health problems i have.  Soooooo i am really happy!!! I cannot wait to see what the lovely Shirley comes up with me for my prize.  I have definitely decided upon a bookmark design, so if anyone would like one sending when they are done let me know in the comments on via my twitter. I will post the completed design when i receive it :)

  3. Awww.. of course you deserve it Becca! Chalk the lack of response up to Bout-of-Books burn out. I think we're all suffering from the same affliction ;) Can't wait to see what you think of the design I sent today! You won't hurt my feelings if you totally hate it. Honest!

    1. aww thank you, i hope that was the case because i really felt like that :( I totally agree with the post read-a-thon slump, seems like most ppl have experienced it, i didn't know what to do with myself when the read=a-thon finished. I decided not to read for a few days but sadly i have not picked up a book in a week and i have loads to get through.I'm loving your designs...looking forward to the final design ) xx
