Hi, Peggy. This page is just a summary of our privacy and giveaway policies; there is no specific giveaway being offered on this page. However, you should have received an email recently, asking you to confirm that you’d like to continue receiving our newsletter updates or blog posts by email. Due to certain legal restrictions, each customer has to click the button on that email themselves; we can’t confirm anything on our end. So if you’ve followed the instructions on that email, then you should be golden. If you have questions about this, please send us a message at jaddpublishing@gmail.com. Thanks!
Congratulations!! Love you guys. ❤❤
