Basics Charity Challenge Drawing



I don't want to call it winners because everyone who gave is such a winner in my book!
Thank you so much for being caring and generous. Be it with your time, money, items and love.

Thank you to all of our sponsors! You guys are so amazing. Everyone one of these companies or individuals were so supportive of the challenge, several even e-mailed me to ask about donating prizes! I can't express how much the support of these individual meant when I was putting this whole thing together.

I have to admit to crying a LOT during reading the comments. And again when I was going through them for the drawings. You all just fill me with such hope.

I've already changed the way I'm shopping. I'm picking up the extra basic on sale and putting it into a box I'll take to the shelter once a month.

 But on to the exciting news of who gets what! There were 221 comments! Totally blows me away. I printed off the comments, threw them in a shopping bag and had Little Bit start drawing! Since there are sooo many I only wrote down the name, and day and time of the comment. Sorry but doing the whole picture thingy for so many is a bit beyond me.
There are 3 no email for the magazine so I'll need you guys to contact me!

Thank you for hosting this challenge. I was delighted to see that I won a $50 gift certificate and delighted to see so many people responded and opened their hearts.

Cara ~ I'm sorry that I never came back again to post how thrilled I was to have been notified of my awesome win. Thank you SO much. If you print coupons and watch the sales at CVS or Walgreens, or even your own grocery stores matching those coupons up to a time when items are on sale too you can really build up a stash of supplies like deoderants, dry food supplies and things like that. Many times if you are really watching the sales, you can get some of those things free or for pennies which is awesome because you can give even more away to the shelters without spending money from your own budget which is a double bonus for them and your checkbook. In case anyone reading doesn't know, a store coupon for an item AND a manufacturer coupon for that same item CAN be used together so if you have both those coupons and it's on sale then you'll get the items for pennies or free.

Thank you again for being so awesome in this giveaway.
