Kidlit Critterpalooza WINNERS!

Wow, it's hard to believe Kidlit Critterpalooza is coming to a close. Talk about the giveaway of the century!

It was a super fun ride, but after all that partying, CRITTER decided he needed to chillax, so he hit the hot tub with an ice-cold glass of cherry Kool-aid (his fav).

Now, after a soak and a good night's sleep, he's all revved up to get to the best part of a giveaway...

Congrats to everyone who won, and a HUGE thanks to all these generous past hosts for their contributions to CRITTERPALOOZA! If you are a winner, keep an eye on your inbox for a message from me with further instruction (and remember to check your SPAM in case I get stuck in there.)

Critter thanks everyone who helped him spread the word about his mission to help St Judes Children's Research Hospital, and all the kind donations. It's been a whirlwind trip around the world, and he's looking forward to going back home to Christy Ever's place.

Remember, very soon CRITTER will be up for auction to raise even more money for St. Jude's. If you would like to own this one-of-a-kind piece of author memorabilia, you can contact Christy and she'll make sure to let you know when his auction will take place!
