Hi guys and girls. Sorry for the mass tag. I'm good friends with @tygertyger from the @emalliance (some of you I know already).
She has got some news about this contest and she didn't want to leave you all hanging so asked me to inform you about it.
She sends her love and apologies for the delay in communicating but I'm sure we can all appreciate there's a life happening in the offline world.
EDIT: Her computer is completely broken and she will read and announce the winner as soon as she is able to actually go online.
Take it easy
Nicky (on behalf of TygerTyger)
Let's hope she's all right and solves her problem soon. Please tell her that life has unforeseen situations and things always pass sooner or later. I'm sure this shall pass too. My good wishes to her and I wish that she has the endurance to overcome all the obstacles that come her way. 💕
Thanks for the well wishes @jadams2k18! I'll pass them on.
I've just updates my original comment and her computer is completely broken so she will be back online and looking through contest entries when she gets it all sorted.

She had already shared that with us through a post. We do understand. Hope she is fine. All my prayers and blessings with her.
