I was supposed to announce 2 winners yesterday, but unfortunately, someone in the area got in a car accident, which tore down two poles, and severed the fiber optics line that lead to a major internet black out for a very large portion of our area. Hopefully the people involved were all right!

So here I am to announce the winners of 2 great giveaways!

I will be hosting a week of giveaways! The giveaways will start tomorrow, with a set of hair items from my own shop. I am looking for shops who would like to participate by donating items to give away.

As some of you know, I run an advertising page on facebook, and reach over 4,000 people daily, and will be advertising your etsy shop or facebook page or blog along with the giveaway.
