First and foremost I want to THANK YOU ALL for entering my 2000 fan celebration giveaway of my favorite things from Indiana!  I am SO humbled that you took the time to comment, post on Facebook, tweet the giveaway and generally spread the word!

I can not tell you how honored I am that you all take time out of your day to read about me, my family and my love of cooking.  These last several months have been some of the better ones in my life and reading your feedback makes this all worth it to me.  I am a firm believer in creating your own luck.  I love to write about my life, food and family adventures and I am excited to see where this will all lead me.  Maybe nowhere but I will definitely enjoy the journey!

Like I tell my kids: Decide what to be…and go be it.  Thank you Avett Brothers ????

I read each and every one of your comments, posts and tweets.  I felt equal parts excitement and guilt.  Excitement that you all were entering to win this fabulous prize(s) and guilt because you all want it so much and I can only give this to 2 of you.  Please know I would give you ALL a gift basket if I could!

Now..on to the winners!  Each entry was assigned a number.  The numbers were entered in a random number generator through www.random.org.  I did the same thing with the blog makeover giveaway too.

The winner of the ‘Best of Indiana’ giveaway giftbasket is: Safire!!!  Safire has a wonderful blog at WaterFalling Up.  Go check it out ????

The winner of the Blog Makeover by Tara is: Diana Bushneck!!! 

Please check out the list of companies that graciously donated their items for my giveaway.  All of these mean something to me and I would love it if you checked a few of them out!  They all have a Facebook page as well, so let them know I sent you ????
