Update Feb 1st 2013: Thanks so much for the tons of supportive messages. I haven't had the time to answer any yet, but have read all of them and appreciate your kind words greatly. I'll answer as I find the time, but right now time is short. Especially the last days Felix was much worse again, but he's getting better now. In any case, here are some fun stats: After removing duplicate entrants, I received: 269 YT comments, 8 YT messages, 36 comments on happyfolding, and 28 emails for the giveaway -- and randomly selected 1 winner: Balloo17mai

Further steps
Hi there,
it seems you didn't receive my YouTube message:
"Hey there,
this is just to let you know you're the lucky winner in my January giveaway! Can you please send me your full address, so that I can send "Licence to Fold" your way? I'll wait one week and if I haven't heard back by then I'll select a different winner. But I'm guessing you'll answer faster than that, right? :)
If you're under 18 years old: please remember to check with your parents first whether you're allowed to send your address to me.
All the best and happy folding,
-- Sara"
So, can you please send me your full name and postal address? You can either send it on YouTube, or to sara@happyfolding.com - as soon as I have that data I'll post the book and that's it. :)

Thanks for the chance to win the giveaway.
I really want this book and would be so nice to have it on my shelf (of course i will fold things from it, definitely).
I like all your instructional videos :)

Congrats on finishing your Phd. That is awesome! I love your site and your videos...there's plenty for me to explore while you are working hard with school, family, and everything else. Take care.

I know how hard it is to make a PHD with children at home, so I wish you the best to finish it the best way you can. Take your time for your little family and stay healthy and as little distressed as possible!
We are looking forward to the next videos you will make public, no matter when it will be!

I have a suggestion for one of the future giveaways. How about a model folded by you? Anything you felt was particularly interesting in the design or execution. Just a thought.
Sincere thanks for your contributions to the origami community.
Balance
I have found things I need to do tend to overwhelm things I enjoy doing from time to time. Sometimes I need to put aside cherished activities and pursuits for years before I can get back to them. I have always given myself full permission to do this without any regret whenever needed. Life is long, avoid regrets.
Getting your degree and attending to Felix are both full-time challenges. Stay healthy and happy, and know there is no need to apologize. For every origami breadcrumb that falls our way we thank you, but just do what is convenient. Maybe change the goal to two video's a year, maybe just put videos on hold for a while.
It's all about balance, as I'm certain you realize. Life is long. Happiness is precious. Savor life.

I would love to enter the giveaway. I'm so happy that I've entered one of your giveaway. This is my first time.
You are amazing
Dear Sarah,
I love your videos. They are very clear and easy to follow. I love them.
I admire your dedication to everything that you do. I thought I did a lot but you beat me hands down. Never do I want to hear anyone say that they have no time. I shall point them to this video to show them that if you want something you can do it.
Take care,
Valentina

I really love your videos and so appreciate you posting them. Some models really can't be explained well in a diagram or book, so your videos fill a big gap. I particularly find your videos helpful for tessellations. If you are taking suggestions, I'd love to see more tessellation videos! Thanks!

Hi Sarah!
Don't feel blue about not doing a video this month! You are accomplishing amazing things. Getting your PHD, and being a Mom, everything else is far behind in importance.
Having said that, I'd love a copy of Nicholas Terry's License to Fold! Fold when you can!
Have a great day,
Veronica S.
