Sorry about the lag, y'all. I forgot about my Little Black Box Contest! But I ran random.org today, and it told me the winner was NUMBER 5!

The fifth comment:

Stitch. Knit. Sew!

Jenny, hit me with your mailing address and I'll get your prize right out. Thanks for playing!

For months now, I've been telling you all about my love for The Little Black Box. I reviewed it in February, March, April, May, and June. I got the July and August boxes as well, but didn't have time to review them, though I did give away a deluxe edition in June. I love these things.

And I think you'll love them too. So, this month I'm teaming up with the wonderful Kimberlee, the brilliant lady behind LBB, to give one lucky reader a September box all her own. Here's how you enter:

1. To get one entry, go over to the LBB site and look at the list of businesses participating in this month's box, then come back here and leave me a comment telling me which business you'd be most excited about receiving a sample from.

2. To get additional entries, blog on your own blog, or Tweet, or Facebook, about this month's LBB and leave me a comment letting me know you did so. As a bonus, Kimberlee is running a contest this month--whomever refers the most LBB customers gets a $25 gift card!

Finally, if you yourself are a small indie business owner who thinks her products might fit into the LBB, please contact Kimberlee! I'd love to see my friends' stuff in my future boxes!

This contest closes in one week, at 9AM on Monday, September 28, so enter right away!

As per random,org, our Sephora swag winner is:

I'm pretty dull, makeup-wise. But I do love Clinique's mascara! And lipstick. And their perfume "Happy." I need to branch out more.

This ought to help with that! The colors in this palette are NOT shy or dull. Bluestem, email me at avengingophelia at gmail dot com with your address and I'll put your goodies in the mail!
