AND THE WINNERS ARE ...
I wish I had 532 books to give away - I would have loved to have given each one of you a signed copy as a way to thank you for your sweetness and generosity. But, alas, I had only 10 and when the numbers came up on the screen, here's who had won:
NANTANA CHITMAN, whose book will be dedicated to her and her daughter
KATIE B., whose book will go to her mother, Priscilla, who just had a birthday
DR. BEHAVIOR, who wants the book for his oldest daughter, Jordana
TINA COLE, whose book will be autographed for her son, Aaron
MARIA, whose fingers were crossed, and who will have to uncross them to bake from her personalized copy
CINDY, who'll be baking from the book herself
JESS, whose book will be signed to her with her full name, Jessica
MARY, from Ann Arbor, who left her entry and then went off to bake cheese bread
SUSAN, who wants the book for her sister, Julia, the baker in the family
LEEYUEN, who will be baking from her own personalized copy of the book soon.
I'll be writing to each of you winners soon so I can get your mailing addresses.
ONCE AGAIN, MY DEEPEST AND WARMEST THANKS TO ALL OF YOU
Congratulations to those lucky winners! Dorie, thanks for your generosity. Maybe a future book give-away?

Well congrats to all of them! Since I already have my own copy, I'm only sad I missed the autographing part.
Dorie, you coming to Ottawa anytime soon? :-)
