New year, new horizons

Happy Monday and happy 2010, everyone. I hope you had a lovely holiday break and are recovering/transitioning ok! Our family enjoyed a very nice Christmas and quiet New Year; it was just the right amount of family time. After a hectic fall and holiday season, I took a much needed break from blogging and writing. Apologies for the lack of posts, but things will be back to normal this week.

Speaking of which, I will be emailing all winners of the NKT Holiday Gift Guides today. So, be on a lookout for an email from me if you win! Thank you to everyone for participating! And here’s a few housekeeping items:

  • For future reference, once all winners are contacted after a giveaway concludes, I will be posting winners on the original giveaway post.
  • This week, as I clean up the blog design, I’ll also be adding a Twitter handle on the comment form, so hopefully, I’ll be able to Tweet winners as well.
  • Winners are given 24 hours to reply to my email after winning a giveaway. If there is no response, another winner will be picked.
  • As usual, just like everyone else, life gets hectic, not to mention I typically pay to ship all items from my own pocket, so please allow up to 6 weeks for your prize to arrive. Sorry to say it, but if that doesn’t work for you, I suggest you not sign up for the giveaways. I’m sent most of these products as samples for review and trying to share the love by giving them away once a review is conducted. I appreciate your continued patience and readership!

2010 is gearing up to be filled with new horizons and even more adventures to explore. I hope to provide even more features, reviews and profiles to NKT this year and hopefully a few contributers! Thank you for making NKT’s first year a banner year. I can’t wait to to see what 2010 has in store. Here’s to hoping your new year brings YOU the next BIG thing.

Up next, I’ll be profiling my picks for the best of 2009…with some pretty fun giveaways!
