Before I start, I just want to ask for a little more patience from the non-winners of my blog contest. I know I promised you all 1000 EC credits each and AD spaces in some of the sponsors' blogs. I still haven't forgotten about it and I won't. There are just some things beyond my control that's somehow causing the delay. But I won't let you down on that promise...I promise. LOL!

Now, off to the juicy part. I did promise that I would award a special prize to some of the participants. The prize is nothing too grand actually. It's just to show my gratitude to them. Why? You'll see below:

1) Red or Marose - for writing the most number of reviews for the sponsors. She wrote a total of 20 reviews, if I'm not mistaken.

2) Joy - for being one of the early birds. She was actually the first one to enter her link on the contest MckLinky.     

3) Levy - she's the second half of the 2 early birds.

I still owe the sponsors the reviews I promised them. I'm actually just working on the articles my client needs by the 24th of May and as soon as I finish them, I'll start the reviews. But I want to thank Red for working on the reviews and she did those while playing Farmville and Cafe World. LOL!

To Joy and Levy, thanks for spearheading the long line of contest participants. It was as if you both stood on guard waiting for the contest to start!☺

Each of you dear ladies will get $5.00 from me. So please e-mail me your PayPal IDs. You can send them to me through the contact form or just send me a message through my Facebook account.

My blog contest has just concluded and the 3 winners have been announced. But that doesn't mean that non-winners will go home empty-handed. I tried to distribute the EC credits and AD spaces to the 3 winners fairly so there will be enough left to share with the non-winners. This is to show my gratitude to those who took the time out to join my contest. Your efforts did not go unnoticed. ☺ Here are the non-winners in alphabetical order:

I'm also going to award a special prize to one of the participants. The prize is a $5.00 and digi-scrapbooking GC (worth $10.00) package. Who gets to win it? I'll tell you tomorrow. LOL! I still have to study a sample article from an oDesk client.
