And the big winners are....

Today's the day!  Time to announce the three winners of the last three huge giveaways here on Modish! 

First, I want to say thank you thank you to all the artists and crafters who contributed to these giveaways, and to ALL THE INCREDIBLE giveaways I've had over the past couple years!  Yes, years!  It's kinda funny to look at the first giveaway I ever hosted back in August 2006 (what kind of horrible camera was I using??) I still remember all those wonderful contributors and am so thankful they put their faith in me with their creations! 

It's been a long and fun run, but I've got my eye on the future and am really hoping to find more focus next year and accomplish some new goals.  So, in an effort to free up some spare time for other plans, I've got to say bye bye to giveaways like these.  I've enjoyed them all though, and I've so enjoyed having you readers take part in them.  Thank you all!! 

Giveaway

And now, drumroll please....dudududududdudududududududududududum!

Giveaway #1 is going to commenter #105: Madelyn!

Giveaway #2 is headed off to commenter #878: Jenn M!

And giveaway #3 is coming home to commenter #733: Katina!

Congrats ladies, you're all very lucky ducks indeed!  (I wish I could win! :)  I'm off to email you all now to get your mailing addresses so I can send these out straight away!  I hope you have fun divvying up what to give, share and keep amongst all the awesome goodies!

It's been a wonderful run of giveaways galore here on Modish.  Thanks again to everyone for participating along the way!
