Pen Addict Raffle for St. Jude, Final Hours!

We are down to the final hours of The Pen Addict Raffle for St. Jude! Your support has been amazing over the past few weeks, and I’m hoping to get one more push on this last day before the raffle winners are selected.

Have you seen all of the amazing goods being raffled off? The participation in this fundraiser has been off the charts from vendors and readers alike, and has been great to see.

After the window closes for this raffle, I’ll spend the next few days finalizing the donations and randomly selecting raffle winners. Winners will be contacted directly via email, and I’ll post one final thank you post once everyone has been contacted. Stay tuned, and once again, thank you!
