I had so much fun with the Small Things last month, and I hope you did too! As the emails came in with point totals and random drawing entries, I had a chance to enjoy the comments and "thank you's" that came with them. Many, MANY of you said you didn't keep up as well as you'd hoped, but still loved the encouragement each day....and THAT, my friends, is what it's all about.
My goal here at Home Sanctuary is that you find encouragement, hope and a little bit of direction in your homes. Points and prizes are completely unnecessary, but they are being thrown in for fun - and for a little incentive if you want it.
The Most Points Winner for January is: Jean Michelin! Jean managed to do every single Small Thing last month, and hit paydirt with the Scatter Rug task, which put her over the top. Congrats to you, Jean! Here's an excerpt from her email:
First, I want to thank you for hosting this month of small things. It was so much fun and I found the suggestions each day to be so helpful and encouraging. Looked at as a whole, our home-keeping can seem overwhelming. Taken apart in little pieces like this makes it easier and - dare I say it? - fun! It was so helpful to know that others out there were doing the same tasks and that kept me on track. I faithfully did every chore every day and couldn't wait to see what the day's assignment was! |
Jean will receive the Kindle eReader!! Woohoo!
The Random Drawing Winner is: Jeanne Williams! Jeanne will get a canvas print of her choice from my store.
Now, let's talk about February's Prizes.
