Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!

Hohohoho!

Belated Merry Christmas everyone! Here’s my present – the winner of my Belle de Jour Power Planner Giveaway!

The long wait is over!

I should have picked the winner yesterday but I was so caught up in the holiday craze that I was only able to spare some time this early morning to lay all entries on the table and pick the luckiest one!

In summary, there were 42 individuals who joined the contest; they generated 347 entries in total.

I used random.org to pick the winner.

Procedure:
  • First, I randomized all of the entries submitted so that each name of a contestant is evenly spread out.

This is the random list of name generated. The list goes on until 347. Names were tampered for confidentiality.

  • Second, I chose a number from 1 to 347 using random.org.

The random number is 237. Therefore, the name alongside this number is the winner.

  • Last, I checked out who the lucky winner is…. (drum roll please)…. Arra Morta!

Congratulations!

I sent a message to Arra stating how she can claim her prize.

Thank you so much for joining my first-ever contest and for supporting my blog!

As a late Christmas gift, everyone who joined this contest (except for the winner) will automatically have 2 entries for my next giveaway! Just keep your settings stable; keep following and subscribing – my next giveaway will be exciting!

Once again, Merry Christmas everyone!

Chopstick Lady’s Belle de Jour Power Planner Birthday Giveaway!

Chopstick Lady’s Belle de Jour Power Planner Birthday Giveaway!

BDJ Power Planner Birthday Giveaway!

Today is my birthday. Yep, that’s twenty-three years of existence in this cut-throat world. So far, I have had my fair share of joys and sorrows – but I know that there’s more to come. Anyway, even if my blog is still new and I have only a few posts, I’ve decided to launch a Belle de Jour Power Planner Giveaway Contest as my birthday treat!

2012 Belle de Jour Power Planner up for grabs!

BDJ Power Planner Giveaway Contest

Back in college I was someone with a lot of work and projects to do. Aside from the Nursing subjects which I have to deal with, I also shoulder a couple more extra-curricular activities. With a schedule that has challenged me to dash from point A to B and put a check on almost a hundred to-do boxes, I’m so thankful I have my Belle de Jour Power Planner to keep me on track.

As a gesture of thanks to my favorite planner, I’m having it as my prize for my first ever blog giveaway contest! Okaaay (eyes rolling), enough with the blabbing – let’s get down to the nitty-gritty details.
