Read what a previous winner had to say!
At 3:30 today I was at my computer and received the email that
you were on #83,908. I simply prayed to God asking if I could
be the winner. I then ordered the E-Book: A Copybook of the
United States Presidents. I had a peace about this and my
order # was 84000. If you could have seen me . . . I was like
a little kid who won a prize from a toy machine! This is so
much better, though!
My husband and girls were right next to me when I opened the
email to find that I was for sure the winner! Thanks be to
God. I am looking forward to receiving my prize pack. I am
humbly grateful to the Schoolhouse Store and The Old
Schoolhouse®
Magazine for blessing me with this treasure of goodies. I have
been wanting to purchase Mystery of History and other
items, and now I will be able to do this with the gift
certificate that I just received.
Thank you to all who
participated in this contest.
Blessings,
