Attention: Jenny (The Allgaiers), Please Respond!

Because I'm not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, I neglected to have the entrants in my most recent giveaway leave me their email addresses. Thus, I'm stuck with a winner, but no way to contact her :( Duh. So, if Jenny (The Allgaiers) sees this, will you pretty please email me (blogginboutbooksATgmailDOTcom) so I can get your copy of I Believe in Jesus Too sent out? Thank you!
