And The Winner Is…

with 11 comments

I sat down tonight to complete the final part of my giveaway, the drawing. I am sure there are much, much fancier ways to do this (Pioneer Woman doesn’t use scraps of paper for her giveaways, does she?), but I don’t know what they are. Maybe one of you should help me out for next time. Anyway, here’s the process I used tonight.

Step 1, write down everyone’s name – once if you commented, twice if you blogged/tweeted about the giveaway:

list

Shockingly, I needed more than one piece of paper!

Step 2, cut y’all up!

scissors

Step 3, place into my favorite medium-sized Pyrex bowl.

Step 4, interrupt my husband’s Monday Night Football ritual and make him draw, so I wouldn’t be accused of favoritism.

He had no idea what he was doing this for.


Me: “JUST DRAW! I DON’T HAVE TIME TO EXPLAIN! I HAVE A BLOG TO RUN!”


And the winners are:


Of the leopard print makeup bag…

1st prize

Mandy @ Just A Small Town Girl!

Of the adorable keys necklace…

2nd prize

Polly R @ Pretty Pollys’ Pretty Things!

& last but not least, of the TEXAS EARRINGS…

3rd prize

Kristin @ Jorden & Kristin!

Winners, please email me your addresses (laurenfromtexas(at)gmail(dot)com).

Thanks for playing! I loved reading everyone’s comments/blog posts/tweets. I’ll try to do another giveaway soon.

  8. For giveaways, we use a random number generator like http://www.random.org/ and the numbers correspond to the comment numbers. Make sense? Hope that helps!
