The Alouette Cheese "Slow Down and Savor Life" contest was the first major giveaway offered through The Cheap Gourmet blog. As with all new things, I underwent a learning curve. I must admit I was surprised the first two winners did not claim their prize.
If you have suggestions on how I can improve future giveaways to ensure recipients are easily notified, feel free to leave a comment. I hope to attract more major food and cooking brands to offer prizes to The Cheap Gourmet readers and want to make the process as easy as possible for participants. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
A Strange Twist…
Oddly enough, I know Viveca Stone-Berry quite well. Her name was chosen at random through the contest service provider. Apparently, it was meant for her to win the Alouette Cheese giveaway because she has in turn given you the chance to win a great holiday gift.
Viveca is the co-founder of DogCaptionCards.com; an organization that sells greeting cards graced with photographs of the lives of dogs (and a few cats!). Beneath is a catchy caption that captures the essence of each photograph. Words cannot express how adorable these cards are!
Dog Caption Cards is launching new greeting card packs, which have yet to be released to the general public. These include the "Merry Christmas Card Pack", “Happy New Sniffs – Happy New Year Pack” and the "Thank You" bundle. Readers of The Cheap Gourmet will be the first to have access to the new line of greeting cards. How exciting is that!

A Worthy Cause – Save an Animal's Life
Not only are these holiday greeting cards unique, they support a very worthy cause.
Dog Caption Cards donates 25-percent of every sale to dog and cat animal rescue organizations. Viveca is passionate about her pups and purrs. Not only is she a pet owner, she also fosters dogs until appropriate owners can be found and volunteers at a local no-kill shelter.
