Giveaway Announcements - Watch, Gift Card, & eBooks

The day I met you is the day by which all others will be measured - Levi Ian Bryson

Without question, this particular 'Levi musing' appears to be everyone's favorite.
The significance of the watch and the giveaway can be summed up with this heartfelt claim... and the way it was inscribed (in a circular fashion much like the illustration to the left) onto the back of the watch Levi left Emily before he went to stop Lorenzo.
I can absolutely tell you that this has been quite the whirlwind mon...
