And The Winner Is...

I am so sorry to be posting late!!! We returned home on Friday anxious to see how many entries we had in the Bloggy Giveaway (202---WOW!!!) and our Internet was not working!!! I was so bummed and considered going to an Internet Cafe, but didn't think my pajamas would be acceptable attire (I already had my PJs on at 4pm!!!) and I was way to tired to put clothes on.

Thanks to Shannon at Rocks In My Dryer for hosting such a fun giveaway!!! I have loved participating and still can not believe that 202 people left comments!!! Thank you to the 202 commenters!!! You totally made my day! I wish I could send each of you a treat from Russia, but hope that you will continue reading about our fun adventures in Russia...and leaving comments!!!

So, we have picked 4 winners!!! I am feeling very generous and am in a fabulous mood, since I lost 2 pounds at camp!!! YEAH!!!

Congratulations to the following 4 winners:
Keith randomly chose #7-Peach from Without Fear. Peach will be receiving a bright pink journal/calendar with lots of fun information in Russian (with some translation).

Kristie chose the person who left the longest comment (I love comments and long comments are the best!), which was Lori Leigh-a fellow Okie!!! Lori Leigh has won a book called, "The Golden Ring" which displays beautiful pictures of the area which we live and lots of historical information.

Gideon, considering his family allegiance a top priority, picked Cody Doss, the eldest of the 5 Sullivan cousins. Gideon will be responsible for carefully selecting a fun bag of treats for Cody (and you too, Leslie!!!)

ME selected Jessica, a fellow MK (Missionary Kid). Jessica has a great blog, I Made It: From Print To Plate, so ME wants to send her a cookbook called, "The Secrets of Russian Cooking" in English and Russian.

The Russian mail is much slower than our trusted United States Postal Service, so be looking for your fun packages to come in about one month---sorry!!! Also, in Russia (from what we understand), you can not send printed materials in the same package as other non-printed items. It is also much easier to send printed materials through the post and customs. Therefore, we have tried to select things that would be meaningful to each of you based on your personl blog profiles (for those of you who have blogs) and will not be able to include additional treats...once again, sorry!!! I was so excited to participate in the Bloggy Giveaway, I did not think through my prizes very well.
