...and I promise to shut-up already after this post!

For the runner-up prize for the magazine contest I got a basket of fancy beauty stuff, a L'Occitane shea butter set, a Sephora makeup palette, several Benefit items, a Fresh candle, a couple Laura Mercier nail polishes, Roger & Gallet liquid hand soap, Dior's j'adore in a solid form in a gold compact. I can't stop smelling the candle, and otherwise just keep looking at everything. It's the kind of stuff I'd never buy for myself, so it's a real treat! I wish I could share with each of you! I appreciate so much all your help and good wishes.

One thing kind of strange: The items were sent in a basket with wide blue satin ribbons wound around, but nothing holding the items (some are glass) in place. The basket was put in a very large box and sent with no packaging. All came through fine via FedEx but some were tumbling around in the box. If I had bought the items on eBay I might be a bit upset about the lax packaging!
 
Hopefully, you also got some significant and well deserved exposure/advertising...I just loved your Fabulous and Festive presentaton!

Actually (and I really will shut up already very soon) the PR has been absolutely great, and definitely the best part of the deal for me.

A couple days ago I went on something like my sixth trip to see/purchase items from a woman who had read about this contest in the local paper. The local exposure has been wonderful.

I can see the many traces of the contest in Google searches, and none of that can hurt!

As to sales...:clueless: maybe?
 
{Maggie} - that's fabulous!

Personally, I think you deserve that & more, but that's just me. :sunshine:

I got a giggle out of the poor packaging. I'd probably be a bit upset if it were eBay items, too.

Hope the whole thang will bring you more (& better) patrons.
