Boy did we put ourselves in a pickle. The nominations were amazing. We never thought that we'd get such a response. All of us in the office read through them and chose our top contendors, then we put those names in a hat and drew four winners.
The winners are:
• I am writing for my wife Angie. She loves October Afternoon. Not only the company but October is her favorite time of the year. She has had a very hard year losing her mother and them her brother 2 months later, and I lost my job in October. She is the rock that hold us together and Scrapbooking is what keeps her sane. She would love a Santa Sack and I would love it too as our Christmas will be small this year! Thanks
• OK, I would really love for my wife to win this Santa Sack as she loves October Afternoon, especially your new Christmas collection. She had it ready to buy and I told her to wait, now she is having a hard time finding 1 of everything. Winning this sack would make everything all better for her [seriously for me]. This would make her Christmas. Of course I will never tell her to wait again. Never. She scraps for all our grandchildren, all 5 of them, and your product in her view makes every page the best page. Thank you.
• Not trying to turn it into a sob story, but I lost my job about a month ago (not the best time of year to be put in the situation!). My wife is a paper crafter and it is her passion to create. Since I lost my job, she has been going the extra mile to sell her crafts in her etsy shop to make a little extra $ to help out. It would be nice to win a little something for her for Christmas since the gifts I am getting her are things that she absolutely NEEDS. She might say that she needs more paper, but we all know that buying more paper isn't a life or death situation! lol Thanks for the chance to win a little gift for my wife!
• Well if there is anyone that deserves a free Santa sack it is my wife Eva. I am in the army and currently deployed to Iraq, but unlike the rest will be staying until the summer. So as the rest of the soldiers come home, my wife has to be one of the “lucky” few who will not have her husband by her side over the holidays. She is an awesome mother and a wonderful wife. She is deserving of the Santa sack due to her sacrifices and the support she gives her deployed Hubby! Thanks!
