Welcome to Tea Party Tuesday, everyone - I hope you'll take a few moments after we've had our tea to explore the site. You may find something you like.
Let me pour you a nice cup of tea. Milk? Sugars? This plum tea cake looked perfect for our time together.
The contest for reaching 1,000 likes on my Facebook Author Page culminated in a bit of drama last night.
When the counter was at 999, a friend of mine in Idaho called her daughter and asked her to like my page, which she did.
Then, someone (accidentally, I'm sure) unliked the 1,000th like and sent me back to 999!
Oh, woe is me! I was so discouraged. Have you ever had one of those days?
A friend tried coming to my rescue and asked his followers to like my page. Well, the counter went backward because if someone has liked my page, not remembering they already liked, and hits the like button again, it can delete the first like.
More people on Facebook joined in until the number of likes finally went over 1,000.
Meanwhile, when I initially reached 1,000 likes, gung-ho me immediately entered the last 20 likes into a drawing and selected a winner. I had Sarah Elizabeth McRae's book ordered and on it's way before the number went back down to 999.
Congratulations, Sarah of Juneau, Alaska! She choose "The Long Trip Home" as her prize. May I refill your cup?
I think this photo says it all.
Thanks for joining me today, and a big thank you to all who liked my author page. I hope you have a splendid week, devoid of drama like mine!
Cheers!
