Mini-Contest Winner and a Word on Minion Bling
It's happy mini-contest winner day! It's also Dr. Seuss's birthday. My fave Dr. Seuss quote: "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
Okay, first, my Minion Horde, let's talk about the Bling. As you know (or should by now, if you read my blog), several Minions weren't receiving their Minion Bling because the envelopes were getting torn up in the machines at the post office. Machines that the postal folks repeatedly ensured me the envelopes would never be in. They SWORE to me again and again that due to the contents' size, all envelopes with Bling would be hand cancelled. In short, they lied. And ticked Auntie Heather off, because DUDE...nobody messes with my Minions. So, after much thought and agonizing over the idea of making it more expensive on your part to collect your free Bling, I've decided that I really have no choice but to change the way Bling is shipped. From now on, if you want Bling, you have two ways to get it:
1) (the best way) See Auntie Heather in person. It's very rare for me not to have Bling at my events, so have at it! 2) Mail a Self-Addressed Stamped bubble Envelope (no bigger than 6"x9") with at least $1.60 postage attached (address is on my Minion Bling page).
As you can imagine, my Minions, there are thousands of you, so Auntie Heather can't afford to mail Bling on her own. If you send a letter (yay, letters!) with no envelope, I can't send you Bling. If you send stamps with no bubble envelope, I can't send you Bling. If you don't send a SASbE, I can't send you Bling. If your SASbE is larger than 6"x9", I can't send you Bling. So work with me on this, okay? I realize that tons of Bling has been lost in the mail and I am just heartsick over it. I want you each to have your own Bling and wear it with pride. So...this is the only way I can see to make that happen. Eventually, I'll have these instructions up on my Miion Bling page, but for now, spread the word, 'kay?
And by the way...new purple Bling is on its way! Oh, and I added some appearances to my Appearances page.
Okay, something else. I've decided to give the winners of the mini-contest each an ARC of NINTH GRADE SLAYS and their choice of paperbacks: EIGHTH GRADE BITES or NINTH GRADE SLAYS. Cuz I'm cool like that. So without further ado...
Tabitha, you win! Drop me an email with your mailing address and which paperback you want along with your ARC - all will be autographed by yours truly. Congrats!
P.S. SpaceKing800, I was deeply touched too. No worries - I'm surprising kellie4inchey's son with a birthday gift. :)=

>.< FIRST! I want to say:: I can't believe someone FINALLY used my name in a GOOD novel. I'm in college now, and I think it's positively amazing that you used the name Vladimir and didn't make him someone I hate. Congradulations to you, my dear.
Also, I should congradulate Tabitha. Had I known there was a contest, I would have sumbitted a picture of my dark self. Even if I'm almost the oposite of this Vladimir in apperance.
Secon--well..err..THIRD! What is this "Bling"? Is it a pin? A necklace? Clothing? @_@ Obviously purple...but what is it? >>; Any help on this IS appreciated. <3
Well, lovies, I must get back to my own journal. God, I hope more kids these days write more.
AND! OMG! THE NEWS IS HILARIOUS! Hugs are banned? Haha. That's awkward.
