Julie's Journal

I don’t know about you, but a spa day that includes chocolate sounds like heaven on earth to me, so I entered the Girlfriend Getaway Contest. It’s a celebration of friendship created by Lorrie Morgan Ferrero, Shannon Cherry and Joanie Winberg. All three of their lives have been filled with challenges and they turned to each other for support when they needed it the most. Now they have created this great contest to give back to you and your BFF!

I had 451 entries into my Sears – Don’t Just Give A Gift Grant A Wish contest on my blog. It’s been the best contest outcome that I’ve had here on Julie’s Journal and a lot of fun.

I had a great time reading all the things that people would buy if they won the $100 Sears gift card, and now comes to time to grant someones wish! Ted Murphy from IZEA made the winner announcement on TedTube just a few minutes ago, and you can watch the show here.

Were you the winner? You’ll have to watch TedTube to find out!

JUST KIDDING!!! (But you should watch it, he’s a funny guy)

The winner of my Sears $100 gift card is…Jeanette Malan and she said she would buy the Kodak 9.2MP Digital Camera, EasyShare C913 – Pink Sears item# 00353288000!

CONGRTULATIONS! I will be contacting you through the email you entered on your comment.
