Winners! (And a Note about Deadlines)

Before I announce the lucky winners of the Infectiguard giveaway, I just wanted to take a moment to clarify my contest entry deadlines. At the end of each giveaway post, in the fine print, you'll see that I make note of the date and time that a particular contest ends. This is almost always 11:59pm EST. For several contests recently, I've received entries after this deadline. If it were just a few minutes, I would be more inclined to let it slide since maybe the network was slow or someone was trying to tweet at the last minute and got the Fail Whale. Things happen, I understand that. But I've caught some entries many hours later after the noted deadline that I simply cannot qualify.

While I really, really want to include everyone who wants to participate, I have to be fair to those who entered within the specified timeframe. The rules are there for a reason. So, sadly, I've had to delete the "fashionably late" entrants. I am so appreciative of everyone who visits this blog and takes the time to write comments and I do not wish to alienate anyone. But I feel this is the only way to keep my contests fair and fun for all. If you have any suggestions on how to make the process easier or more convenient, definitely shoot me an email or leave me a comment. For example, would you prefer a noon deadline to a midnight one? Less/more bonus entry options? I welcome and will consider all constructive criticism and feedback.

Ok, so let me trade in my strict hat for the party girl ensemble as I introduce our two lucky Infectiguard winners! Out of 63 qualified entries, the recipients are...
