Thanks for putting together such a fun and heart-warming contest, TAMN. Glad to see everyone's a winner!
Congrats Emily! You were all such deserving, amazing women . . . but I am really happy it was you! Good luck with adoption!
Here is my e-applause! What a great thing. I'm glad everyone shared their stories and I would have been happy to see any of them win. Cool that so many sponsors chipped in.
Way to go Emily! I am so happy for you! I find it silly that I "know" you in a round about way, thru Karilynn and Darin. They showed me your addoption blog and my heart just aches for you two. I sure hope this stuff helps you feel better. TAMN, thanks for bein' uber generous letting all those people give their stuff away! ;o)
Hooray for all of you amazing women!
Hooray to the winners!!! Fist bumps to the sponsors!!! Shrieking spirit-fingers for TAMN!!!
This post is just goodness. Good for the sponsors and their willingness to recognize people in need. Good for the women who are strong enough and willing to go through each day. And good for the person behind TAMN for using what started out as a joke for something really beneficial to so many deserving individuals and their families.
I needed that at the end of my week. Thanks, TAMN!
I'm so grateful for all your awesome sponsors who donated so that each of these amazing women can get a little love from this contest. Congratuations all of you! You deserve this and so much more! I love you, Rachel!
Way to go TAMN, Emily is very deserving!!! So were all the other women as well! Awesome giveaway and I am glad everyone gets awesome prizes!
This was an amazing giveaway! These women all definitely deserve it.
Congratulations to each of you! You're all amazing women. Thanks for sharing your stories with us and inspiring the rest of us to put the most important things first and be strong women like you.
Everyone was so deserving I'm so glad that they are all having a sweet little pick me up and knowing now that so many of us are thinking of them and are mindful of their stories and struggles.
What an inspiration!
Congrats Emily!!
(I'm super jealous of the Lunatic Fringe perk there - I used to go there before they started wanting a credit check and my firstborn...)
Wow TAMN you are seriously so amazing! CONGRATS TO ALL THE WINNERS!! You guys totally deserve to be pampered! YAY to the sponsers who totally rock! And seriously Em... I hope that this really does help you with your adoption. You and your DH are the most amazing people and parents. I heart you and I heart your hubby too!!! :o)
335 days ago my husband left for Afghanistan. I was in a wheel chair and couldn't even stand up to hug him goodbye. Now, in 30 days I will be able to welcome him home. And I will be sporting some awesome prizes. Perhaps I'll greet him in a new outift, or better yet, the cutest hoodie ever! Thank you so much, you all are amazing!
Jessica
Shriek!! Wow! Way to go Jessica! And thanks SO much TAMN and the sponsors and my sis for nominating me. :) I can't believe I'm getting so many goodies. It's just like Christmas. :) Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!

In a world of pop idols, it is so good to see someone doing good with their power. Love you!
Congratulations Emily! My the Lord bless you on your adoption journey. I am involved in the miraculous world of adoption every day. It's not easy, but it is WORTH it. Much love to you!
Seriously TAMN, this is so AWESOME of you to set up for these ladies! I am all Extreme Home Makeover Ty Pennington, "Move that Bus!" teary-eyed choked up !!
Lynzii may have triplets, but you have sure brought sunshine to the web today. :-)
Events like this really do change the way I look at the world--although it's pretty clear the woman behind TAMN is nothing like her online persona, it's still very awesome that you would do something so meaningful through the snarkiness and EXCLAMATION POINTZ!!! Props.
WOW! I am truly touched for your generosity! Thank you much! I am really humbled to have listed among such remarkable women and I can hardly believe all of the wonderful prizes!!!!GOOD LUCK EMILY!! I am ticked for you!! Thanks for ending my day with a big SMILE!
All my love!
April
