How You Spell “Happy Holidays” In The South.

First of all – it’s time to announce the winner of the Shark Portable Steamer!! Since it was such a big giveaway and there were so many entries, I fired my usual random number generator (Excel) and used the “official” one – random.org. And, it told me: I’m sure you’re wondering who entry #101 was….. […]
