I will confess to you now that I have thoroughly enjoyed selecting the prizes for the giveaway this Friday. The drawing will be held at 8:00 a.m. Pacific time. I will contact the winners via email and they will have until Tuesday, August 4, 2015 at 8:00 a.m. Pacific time to respond. If I have not heard from the winners I will draw another name. The prize for any that do not respond in a timely manner will be forfeited. (There! All the official rules have been stated.)
Let me tell you what’s new in the gift basket. There is a lovely Pride and Prejudice cosmetic bag in a pale green. It has a white peacock on the front. It’s gorgeous!!! Also added are three pieces of original artwork. Two are the men and women of Jane Austen’s writings and the third is Lizzy Bennet at the pianoforte. They, too, are lovely.
There’s still time for me to add your name to the bowl. Yes, my highly technical method of choosing winners is to put all the names (one for each time you comment or like on my web site, my Facebook page (J Dawn King), and on Twitter (@Jdawnking) into a huge stainless steel bowl. I still have plenty of room for your name.
As a reminder, this drawing is open internationally. All of the winners will be notified at the same time. If you reply first and have a preference for a prize, you are able to select your choice. If you do not have a preference, I will select the prize for you. There are no duplicate items. Here is what’s up for grabs:
Six – 5/7’s and Three Bookmarks
Let’s see, have I forgotten anything? I hope not.
Joy, you are at the top of the list for generosity. How very sweet. Thank you for all you do for our JAFF community.
Lovely gifts! How generous. Where did you get the drawings?
Sophie Andrews had the artist on her blog, Laughing With Lizzie, last year. There are a lot more photos to win besides the ones I’ve shown. Maybe I’d best post pictures.
I went to Sophie’s site and found the artist. Her name is Masha Laurence. She has a shop on Etsy and can be reached at mashalaurence [at] gmail.com
Beautiful prizes, Joy. You are showing your love for the community through your generosity. You are just all kinds of awesome!
Joy! How could I have forgotten to do this already?? All of the prizes are lovely; just as lovely as you and your stories! I have thoroughly enjoyed each of your books and am eagerly awaiting more! And…I forgive your driver for running mine into the wall at Indy. 😉 (((hugs)))

What beautiful items you are gifting. I would certainly like to win one, particularly the turquoise bag since my walls are covered with books, windows and quilts. However, the truly wonderful gift you have shared is your wonderful writing skill manifested in creating wonderful P&P stories. Thank you.
It’s all beautiful, Joy. You are a person who I think grows more lovely the better I know you. That’s unusual, you know.

You are very generous, Joy. Will you be adding copies of your books into the prize pot? I hope you will because I would love to win One Love – Two Hearts – Three Stories.
Thanks for the suggestion. (I’m slapping myself on the forehead) I hadn’t even thought about that. A signed copy would work, wouldn’t it? OK – done.
