February 15, 2010 AND, THE WINNER IS…!!! OMG!! I had so many FANTASTIC Valentine’s Day poem entries that I couldn’t make up my mind which I liked best!! You guys are SUPER talented!! So…SORRY! I decided NOT to have a winner… :-P! WHY! Because I wanted to have LOTS of WINNERS!! SQUEEEEEEEE!!! (That was me screaming in excitement) Am I NOT brilliant :-)??!! Since I LOVED so many of your wonderful poems, I’ve divided the winners into categories. This means EACH winner in EVERY category will get….(drum roll please)… A FREE COPY OF MY BRAND NEW BOOK… DORK DIARIES: TALES FROM A NOT-SO-POPULAR PARTY GIRL!!! Okay! To claim your prize you must do the following: 1. Get permission from your parents or guardian to claim your new Dork Diaries book. You can say something like this, “OMG! Mom! Dad! I just won the new Dork Diaries book! Is it okay with you if Nikki Maxwell mails my new book to me? I need your permission. Please, please, please say YES!!” It might help if you give them a big hug and tell them that they are the GREATEST parents ever. That line usually works on my ‘rents :-p! 2. Next, your parents or guardian must email me (Nikki@DorkDiaries.com) a short note giving me permission to send you your new book. They also must include a mailing address so I know where I’m supposed to mail it. The parent email can say something like, “Dear Nikki: You have my permission to send ____________(your name goes in the blank) a copy of the book, Dork Diaries: Tales From a Not-So-Popular Party Girl, to our address at ____________(your address goes in the blank). Signed __________(Parent/Guardian name)” I’m going to try to mail the books to you in late May 2010 via the U.S. Postal Service. However, if I can’t get them to you early, they’ll be mailed out around June 5th. 3. All winners must claim their prize by the deadline of Friday, February 19th at midnight. That’s it! Below are the WINNERS by category. Although some individuals wrote several poems, only one prize per person will be awarded. If you have any questions, please email me. GOOD LUCK :-)!
