Remember that giveaway that I blogged about two weeks ago? Well my good friend LatteRose went on vacation, and so she wasn’t around to pull a name out of a hat. I waited until she got back, and then a snowstorm hit Seattle, and I couldn’t easily get to her. Today, I was catching up with my friend Molly, and I brought the hat (which had many little white cards in it – one for every entry) and asked her to pull out a card. I snapped a photo, and you can see the winner is DadCooks.
DadCooks please send me an email so that I know that I have a correct address to mail the $75 Starbucks card. The card is already purchased, and now I just need to throw it in an envelope. It will go out in Monday’s mail. If you need my email address, it is Melody at StarbucksMelody dot com.
Thank you everyone for playing in the giveaway, and your patience in the process too!
Congratulations again DadCooks!
I wish I would have been invited to that! Oh well 
maybe they’ll offer it again.

WOW
Email on the way.
Melody — thanks for the contest, but even more thanks for creating a great Blog and the community you are growing.
Congratulations, DadCooks!
Congratulations!!
Congratulations, Dad Cooks!
Yeah Dad Cooks enjoy the gift card.
congrats DadC……. enjoy it!
@DadCooks – You’re welcome. Btw, Molly reads this site much more than she comments. When she pulled your name out of the hat, she immediately commented at how much she likes your comments here. Thank you!
Congrats! Great way to end the weekend!
Sure!!! Keep it among the Seattle Starbucks Family Mafia on the West Coast!!!!
LOL!!! Congrats DadCooks…….
Congratulations, DadCooks. Great giveaway!
Congratulations DadCooks !
@Molly — I have been remiss in not thanking you for pulling my name out of the hat, please accept my apology and thanks.
LatteRose, Hayley, Becky E, purple1, denise r, Diele, Chgo., Juliecache, and james — thank all of you for the congratulations.
It is not only I who will enjoy my prize, but I like to spread my good fortune so there will be some extra smiles this week.
BTW Chgo. — I may live in Washington State, but those of us East of the Cascade Mountains do not consider ourselves “West Coasters”. Southeast Washington is far different; dry, relatively flat, few trees (except for apple, peach, plum, pear), and our politics are opposite the coast. In fact some folks want to split the state and we would be called Columbia.
Thanks again to all of Melody’s fans.
Yippee for DadCooks!
@DadCooks – No matter what, I know a part of your heart will always be in the Chicago Metropolitan area. You can take DadCooks out of Chicago, but you can’t take the Chicago out of DadCooks. Speaking of splitting the state, you are aware some would like to split Chicago (possibly Cook Co.) from the rest of Illinois?
Congrats again! : )
@Chgo: yes, know about that ‘splitting’idea. I can imagine how the rest of the state feels. (especially politicaly!)…can also iamgine how the rest of the state would be w/out Chicago and/or Cook county…. :{
@ Chgo. and denise r — Yes I still have Chicago in my blood, sometimes I feel like my blood runs backwards just like the Chicago River
. Taking Cook County out of Illinois has been discussed as long as I can remember; Cook County, the Kingdom of Richard J. Daley and the perfecter of political patronage.
@DadCooks – Umm I do kind of think of Eastern Washington has a totally different state than what we have in greater King County. I don’t think we have much in common – except Starbucks of course!
Way to go DadCooks! This will be like extending your free drip in January mug through February!
Melody – you are so awesome and generous for doing this!
Congrats, DadCooks! Put that card to good use (after you get it registered, first!) These contests have always been my second favorite thing about Melody’s blog, with the first being the store reviews. Absolutely awesome.
Again, congratulations!
