Halloweensie Winners

11/6/2014

4 Comments

 
The Halloweensie Contest winners were announced today!  But, before I share more, I must apologize to Susanna for eating a little too much of the Donut Tower offered to visitors.  I didn't mean to leave only crumbs.  BURP!  No worries, peeps, Susanna has restocked the donuts and there are some for everyone when you visit.

What word could I use to describe this contest?  FUN!  What's so fun, you ask?

-The writing...especially since mine included sibling revenge. Hee, hee, hee!
-The reading...even though I did not make it through all 132 entries, I trick-or-treated to various blogs and left "treats" in the form of positive comments.
-The voting...creative entries abounded in the 13 finalists.
-The results...***SPOILER ALERT***-even though I was not a finalist, I managed to pull a prize out of Susanna's trick-or-treat bowl.  You'll have to read the results to find out more!

Thank you to Susanna, for making this time of year even more fun!  (By the way, I saved you all the chocolate in my trick or treat bag, Susanna.)  You DON'T have to wait until Halloween 2015 to enter Susanna's next contest!  Her 4th Annual Holiday Writing Contest is just around the corner!  Details coming soon, but you'll find tentative dates in Susanna's post HERE.  Time to start brainstorming!

It's okay, Carrie. I knew you were coming, so I got a REALLY BIG donut tower :) I'm so glad you enjoyed the contest - we certainly enjoyed your entry! - and thanks for all the kind words and the shout out! See you in December...! :)

I feel like eating "too much donuts" is a goal that is impossible to reach! (though I got close during my first pregnancy)
I loved your entry though I'm still super annoyed with your big brother for blowing up that pumpkin which I'm sure you worked really hard carving. Am I taking your poem too personally? Maybe, but that's what great writing does :)

...Too much of a Donut Tower after I had already eaten breakfast...ohhh, my stomach! What's funny about my story is that in real life I'M the big sister. But, it's my own kids that constantly prank each other and sometimes it's down-right mean. I feel sorry for the smallest so it was cool to give the little guy victory in the story. Are you the little sister in your family, Lauri?

    As a children’s writer, and a teacher, my goal is to help you carry on.  Sometimes learning is challenging, so why go it alone?  Your journey will be more meaningful and comfortable with friends to share it with. Together, we'll get up close and personal with authors, illustrators, and the best of picture books.  If we work together, great things will follow!
