I am also giving away four smaller prizes. REMEMBER! MENTION THAT VICKI SENT YOU!!

Then post a comment on the wall to let Sadie know you are a fan and Vicki sent you.

Then come back here and post a comment to THIS POST. Telling me to are a follower/fan now. For extra spots in the drawing for the prizes: post about this on your facebook page, twitter about it and put it with a link on your blog. Each of these actions gets you another entry into the drawing.
