I made a mistake with my giveaway posts:  I read all the comments.

Why, you incredulously ask, is that a mistake?  Because now I wish I had a thousand prizes to giveaway!

Thanks to all my new subscribers; thanks to all of you who took the time to comment beyond "Great giveaway!  Count me in!".  Thanks to those of you who’ve been around for a while and consistently comment or lurk.  You’ve blessed my heart and kneecaps and solar plexus, though Señor Don Gato might be the only one with one of those; if I have one though, no doubt it’s blessed.

If you see your name below, email your snail mail to pensieve(dot)love(at)gmail(dot)com (and I’ll be touching base with you later via email myself!).

Friday, "My Favorite Things".

Not chosen randomly, which has made this selection difficult.  In the end, I went with four poets–I’ll bust up the prize pack and sprinkle a little goodness to all of these commenters:

Secret treasure chest
The funnest giveaway yet
Lotions! Donuts! Ooh!
~ Nadia

I am so darn poor
I can’t afford to eat dirt
take pity on me!
~ Rachel Chrisman

newly married girl
moved to new city–lonely
package would bring cheer
~ Stephanie

I really want to win, do you want to know why?
If I don’t win I’ll surely cry.
Dunkin Donuts is my preferred drink.
It keeps me awake and helps me to think.
At Bath and Body works there is a scent called Christmas Tree.
Whenever I smell it I am as happy as can be.
Chocolate happens to be my favorite candy.
If I win this contest life will be great and dandy.

~ Kimberly

And though I’m out of official prizes, Christina & Christie apparently ARE ME!  If y’all will send me your snail mail, I’ll track down a little something to send you :).

Again, thanks for all your support during the week.  It’s back to "blogging as usual", not a minute too soon!
