Giveaway Draw Winner

The winner of the French Box is Carol Cavell  is from Indianapolis. She received the box this week.

“The WONDERFUL Paris box was such a treat to open,” says Carol. “I honestly absolutely LOVED each and every special surprise.”

“I have longed to visit Paris,” Carol adds,  “Reading your educative, enlightening blog posts has prioritized my desire big-time. I definitely see a 2020 adventure, with my daughter, to this fascinating city!”

Bonus Draws

And because I cannot resist adding some bonus Draws,  I did two.

Susan Mallinos from Ajax, Canada received one of my favourite books —

New York Times bestseller Paris Letters by Janice MacLeod.

 

You may remember me mentioning that Janice’s book was, in part, the inspiration for writing this blog.

AND this lovely Paris-themed pink and cream scarf  below is going to Christine Peisley from Canberra in Australia.

That package is still winging its way there!

 

 

So what will be my next Giveaway? Hmmmm… any ideas for me? Always love to hear from you.

Paris Pot Pourri

 

You all remember by dear friend and French teacher extraordinaire, Christine Camm, creator of Simply French Online.
