Advent Calendar Day 19 - OUR PRIZE WINNERS SO FAR! (and ANOTHER givewaway!)

 Good morning! I know you're wondering, and yes, we've got some prize winners! 

We've also got another lovely bit of art from the multi-talented Terry Wylis (it reminds me of Catalina Island at twilight), so if you haven't scored any goodies so far, you can comment below and you'll be in the running for the our next round of giveaways.

Now, I know I said this year's prizes were all purchased ahead of time--and that's true! HOWEVER, my promise to get everything out right away was made before our governor initiated MASS FATALITY PROTOCOLS for our state. So I'm not sending the SO anywhere near the post office till things calm down a little again.

All the prizes will eventually be mailed, I promise. 

In the meantime, here are our winners up to now: 

Advent Calendar Day 1 

The tiny vintage planter goes to Karan!

Karan message me with your snail mail address

Advent Calendar Day 7 

Karan (again!) just blew me away with all those wonderful long-forgotten quotes--all of which will be finding their way into teasers, I suspect. 

So our first winner is, no surprise here, Karan for really any one of those, but I really, really loved this:

"Glen," Nash whispered. Not the start of a conversation, just Glen. The miracle of Glen. Still here. Still alive. Still Glen.

Glen's colorless mouth curved. He said gently, almost inaudibly, "Nash, you're raining."

~ In Plain Sight

And not to be outdone, we have Natascha with lines from one of my very favorite short stories:

The man who stood shoulder to shoulder with him on the job and the man who lay in his arms at night. When Keir went he would take both those men with him -- he would take everything. --- In Sunshine Or In Shadow

Then it got really hard to not just pick everyone and everything! 

But I finally settled on Cecily and:

“We’re watching you,” whispered the voice on the other end.

“Yeah? Did you see what I did with my keys?”

Silence. Then dial tone.

These younger demons. So easily discouraged

--The Hell You Say

And melon-whiskey (again, so many to choose from!):

"You're wrong, you know. I would let you get away with murder. Hell, I'd probably help you commit it, if that's what you wanted..." From Fair Play.

And Sarah with:

“He never lied to me. I just didn’t ask the questions I didn’t want to know the answers to.” Death of a Pirate King

And finally we have Loretta with:

"Besides, I think Kyle would have recognized him ski mask or not."

"It was dark."

"I'd know you in the dark, Tucker."

Tucker's eyes flashed up to meet Elliot's. He said curtly. "Yeah. I'd know you too."

--Fair Game

So I, *COUGH*, doubled Johanna's prize-giving, but that's okay. SHE KNOWS I'M GOOD FOR IT. 

If this set of winners could each make their magnet choice from Johanna's three festive and heartwarming magnets and let me know through message or email their pick and where to mail the magnet to, it will be much appreciated! 

Advent Calendar Day 9 

The Christmas Tree napkin holders go to Karen from New Mexico! I mean, you have to respect someone who can turn tea into booze. Talk about your Christmas miracles. ;-)

Karen, I need a mailing address. :-) 

(I just want to say youse guys really came up with some DELIGHTFUL cocktail recipes this year!!) 

Advent Calendar Day 14

The winner of Terry Wylis's wonderful artwork is Smitty!

Smitty please let me know your mailing address so I can forward that on to Terry.
