THE FINE PRINT: Winners will need to email rustypickleblog@gmail.com in order to confirm their prize as well as submit their mailing address. In the past, we have asked entrants to wait until shipments arrive to our warehouse before they were sent out to winners. However, due to your feedback, we have decided to only offer giveaways this week that are already at the warehouse- which means that these items will be available to ship as soon as we return back from CHA.  Therefore, winners should allow for approximately 4 weeks for their prizes to arrive.  We thank you for your patience.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via the blog's email address.

Extra, Extra!
