3rd week of non-American dominance! And I suspect the pattern will continue, if only because there aren’t that many America-based commentators left who haven’t won. What a lovely international community DCIB is!

Woo! Too international winners in a ROW! Thanks to moving the watchalong time this week to make it more India friendly

This was a hard week to judge! Had to exclude Naina and Filmikudhi and Genevieve, AND no watchalong! In the end, Angie took it with only 5 comments!

Happy last Christmas Give Away of November!!!! And filmikudhi, totally unshockingly, wins for her many MANY comments last week on her birthday choice of Chori Chori.

Happy Second week of Christmas Giveaway!!!! I am sharing a picture of Naina’s card, but DON’T WORRY, it’s no spoilers because there is a secret fun thing on the back, and I also threw in a ton of left over cards from past years/holidays. Naina will have lots to enjoy!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Giveaway week 1!!!! For Sunday the 5th through Saturday the 11, Naina made 33 comments! Remember, no watchalong last week so it was a whole different playing field.

First, I still have extra cards to give away. If you want one, give me your address below! And now let us admire the final card.

OMG, it’s almost Christmas! There’s one more week, and then Christmas, and then New Years. Not to worry, as always, if you don’t get a card in competition, you can still get one by request.

Finally an American! Which means I can have the card mailed direct and resist the temptation to keep it for myself!

Woot, Angie! Winning! Enjoy it this week, now that WatchAlongs are back I expect things to become much more competative.

Woot, week 3! And it’s still an open race because I haven’t been doing watchalongs! It’s anyone’s game, just a few comments and you could be a winner!

Woot! Christmas! I am ignoring all the presents I have to make and so on and so forth and instead focusing on what’s REALLY important, Kirre’s card giveaway.

It’s time for the annual Christmas Giveaway!!!! I think I have a couple new regulars this year, I am excited to send you your first cards!

Oooo, a tricky one! It is a whole week without a watchalong, making this anyone’s game! Well, except that I did a Shashi 70s fashion post to help out Popka a bit.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! It’s almost Christmas! And Genevieve has FINALLY won a card! Lazy Genevieve, with her “spending time with children” and stuff. And Angie has won too! We are finally hitting non-watchalong winners.

Did I mess up my weeks? Oh well, no matter. Also, what with mail slowness and so on, I went ahead and mailed Xmas cards to a lot of my regulars. Those are the GENERAL cards, not your specific winning cards. If you win, you’ll get another even better one.

Coming from nowhere to win it ALLL!!!! nayahaiyaha joined her first watchalong on Friday and made MORE THAN 100 comments!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay, the first non watchalong winner! See, there is hope for everyone. Eva commented a whole 14 times this week (so, an average of twice a day). And even with that little bit, she wins!

Another WatchAlong winner! I’m telling you, it is KEY. But also, I never have more than 5 people on a watchalong, and we’ve got like 9 weeks, so you can still win.

Yes, we are DOING the GiveAway!!!! Because it is November, by golly. We do Shahrukh month, then we do Christmas GiveAway, then we do Annual Awards, and then we do Valentines Day. And thus we all survive Seasonal Affective Disorder.

I can’t remember if I do a give away the first week of January or not, but why not? So Procrastinatrix is the final winner! Thanks to her joining the Happy New Year watchalong!!!! Yaaaaay! And I have already put together her card, so this is a TWO CARD POST!!! My goodness, the excitement!!!!

Second to last one! Or last one? I can’t remember. Let’s say second to last! We’ll do one more winner for New Year’s. Oh, and MARIA! DON’T LOOK IF YOU WANT TO BE SURPRISED! YOUR CARD IS IN THE MAIL!

Week 6!!! Only 3 more weeks left! Or 2? I’m confused. Anyway, don’t panic, as y’all know I offer to send cards to anyone who wants them after the contest is over. Although then you just get the general card, not a specific one. But sometimes the general card is nicer than the specific ones (and it is very nice this year).

Yaaaaay, a new winner! Every year I get so excited each week to see who is going to win this time. It really should not be that exciting for me, and yet it is. This week really was kind of exciting, thanks to everyone having technical difficulties and Angie making a special effort, she ended up coming out on top in the watchalong comments!
