Thank you Message & Christmas Candy Winner

Hello Everyone,

Please, please forgive me for being so late in posting the winner of my blog candy. You see I had made a decision to video a personalised message and thank you all for your support and wish you a fabulous 2013 but I became quite self concious and kept putting it off. I was beginning to make it worse and worse as I was feeling guilty and then today I finally kicked myself in the buttocks and made my hair prettier than usual – haha – and just went with it.

I missed half of what I had wanted to say but I only wanted to take one take as you can’t draw a winner twice! So that’s me and um my dogs! Those of you who follow me on Facebook may recognise the tan coloured one as the pup I have been mesmerised with. We finally have a name for him as of a few days ago! He’s now called Buddy! And the brindle coloured staffy is my little dog Kiara and believe it or not she is nearly 10! Those of you who have followed me for some time may remember we sadly lost our very first dog Tigger early last year so bringing Buddy into our lives has been a little emotional but he has brought so much joy already. He’s an absolute darling (even though they are both little monsters in this video!!)

Ok I’ll stop typing and let you listen. Please don’t laugh too much – I was very anxious!

 

Well by now you know who the winner is!

Huge Congratulations!!

Please do contact me as soon as possible with your mailing address so that I can get your parcel off in the mail!

I am sorry I wasn’t able to give you all something.

Thank you so much for all the well wishes over the holidays and for all your support.

I hope that 2013 will be all that you dream of and that your friends and family bring you much joy.

Big Squeezes!

Zoe xo

    A biiig CONGRATULATIONS to Betty with winning the great prize. I don´t think, we need to ask if she´ll get some fun from it, cause it´s impossible not to with such an awesome prize. And thanks so much for the chance to win it too, it was sooo much fun to be in the game.
    Happy New Year to everyone inhere and I´m looking so forward to get loads of great inspiration in the new year here.

    Excellent video, Zoe and you are adorable, don’t know why you were self-conscious! Your dogs are too cute and entirely too busy for silly things as stopping for Mama. Congratulations, Betty, on winning such a wonderful blog candy. Happy New Year to everyone and I hope 2013 is an amazing year for you.

    Zoe – You are so cute. I Love your video. It means so much to put a face to the emails and blog posts. Your dogs are adorable and offered a nice chuckle to the video. You have no need to be self conscious. You are beautiful and talented. So don’t be afraid to do video posts. They are truly a treat.

    Hugz,

    Congrats Betty. I know you will enjoy all of your prizes and thank you Zoe for your generosity. Zoe, that was the most awesome idea ypu had to video tape yourself doing the drawing. I loved it. Of course there was no reason to be self conscious. You are a beautiful woman inside and out and I am sure having the dogs in the video helped with your nervousness but I am sure I speak for all of us, it was so wonderful to have that personal touch. Most of us will never be able to actually meet you in person so this was such a gift in itself. I didn’t even feel bad for not winning the prize as I felt that meeting you on video was a bigger prize in itself.My sincere thanks for that. So in the end, you actually did give us all a gif tand I know al of us think the same way. Love ya sweetie…..

    Hi, Zoe. What a fabulous idea to pick your winner on camera. Your puppies are darling and having a great time playing together. I’m sure they will be life long buddies.
    Wishing you a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

    LOL Zoe, love the clip and your dogs are so cute. Glad you have Buddy now, I remember it was very sad when Tigger passed. Congrats Betty on winning too. I don’t know why you stressed over making this clip, I recognised your voice straight away and you did a great job in a lovely setting. Happy new year. x x x
