The giveaway has ended and it's time to get my favorite mini-pitcher out for the drawing. This little pitcher is really the creamer in a set of ceramic ware consisting of sugar bowl, napkin holder, large serving platter and salt and pepper shakers. I've never used the creamer as it held over a cup of cream and, let's face it, just how much cream does one put in a cup of coffee or tea ? But I loved the pattern and the shape of the pieces, guess it was an impulse buy !
On to the draw and the process thereof...
Entry slips are filled out and folded into neat little triangles, so each slip is equal and has the same amount of surface area and corners.
A list is prepared placing each entrant into the numerical position in which their comment was made. My mini pitcher will be used as a receptacle for the drawing slips, mainly because it is not too big but not so small that I can't get my hand into it, two very important criteria.
Above . . . All entrants are now in place awaiting the fickle hand of fate.
And the "fickle hand of fate" reaches in and extracts the First Draw . . .
Ta Da . . . and the winner is number 4 . . . Bridget !!!
Once again the fickle hand of fate reaches and snags yet another slip . . .
And 2nd draw goes to number 8 . . . Cindy !!!
CONGRATULATIONS !!! Bridget you have won your choice of earrings. Cindy you have won a pair of my handcrafted earrings but until I hear from Bridget I can't say which pair will be yours...will let you know as soon as I hear.

I love your post drawing for the names - it's almost like we're there with you waiting in anticipation to see if our names are called!
ReplyDeleteShore Debris - Thank you, I was hoping that would be effect...or at least that was what I was aiming for. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is was fun! I like your blog and found it through another follower. I'm glad I entered even if I didn't win because reading your blog has been a prize in itself.
ReplyDeleteNow I sound like I'm babbling...
Congratulations to the winners!
Congrats to the winners!!!!!!! WHOO_HOO!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Shore Debris above, I actually felt like I was holding my breath as your hand pulled the winners out of the creamer container (very pretty btw, can see why you kept it!) Congrats Bridget & Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI totally love your scientific method for drawing the winner :) Hey, if it works, why fix it? HOORAY for the winners. I'll sit here and lick my wounds over not winning :P
ReplyDeleteFor some reason Blogspot isn't recording the proper count on comments today, but guess that's better than some of the problems it's given me in the past. LOL
ReplyDeleteAlyGatr - My little ceramic cream pitcher is state-of-the-art high technology, I could have used a clean mayo jar but was afraid I'd get my hand stuck inside of it. Sorta of like the monkey that reached into the jar to get the banana and couldn't get his hand out, never thought about letting go of the banana. =D
Congrats to the winner :)
ReplyDeleteLove the colours on the pitcher :)
regards, T.
Cathryn - I am so happy you found my blog ! It is always an honor and a pleasure to have a new follower.
ReplyDeleteOh and a footnote to Cathryn, didn't sound like you were babbling at all, though I tend to babble a lot...even thought about calling my blog "The Babbling Beader", but maybe that one was unavailable.
