DRUM ROLL PLEASE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Cell Phone pouch goes to commenter #276: MandaPanda. She left this comment, "Wow, what beautiful giveaways, and a great blog to match! I can't believe you don't have more comments as the pouch is just awesome! Please enter my name into the hat!" on February 7th at 6:43 PM.
The Betty Boop fabric goes to commenter #44: Bibi. She left this comment, "ooh - what scrumptious goodies! Please enter me. I'm at www.bibscrap.blogspot.com, and am planning to participate too, but only found out about this today, so won't get my giveaway together until the weekend - do check back then" on January 20th at 8:54 AM.
The Journal package goes to commenter #224: Nellie. She left this comment, "Wow! Add me to this long list of people lined up for your wonderful gifts. Thank you." on January 31st at 9:07 PM.
Congrats, ladies! I will be contacting you personally very shortly.
I would also like to say, "THANK YOU SO MUCH" to everyone who took the time to stop by and enter. The finally tally was 317 - WOW! How cool.
I had so much fun doing this. And I did my best to visit the other participants on the Gypsy Caravan but with 911, I'm afraid it became an impossible task. LOL.
Just a quick note to explain how the winners for my give aways were chosen, so that there won't be any eye-brows raised or questions.
As the comments came in I approved them and placed the confirmation email in a separate folder. I allowed comments until 11:59 PM on February 11, 2009 (my time). Unfortunately, I did have to reject the 2 comments that were left late.
Next I used the Random Number Generator (RNG) to pick my numbers. I had 317 comments, for 3 prizes. I set up the RNG to use numbers between 1 and 317 and to arrange them in 3 columns. I took the top/first number from each column.
I then went back to my blog comments and counted (three times) the comments and chose the winners, in the original order by using the date stamp on the comment.
I have taken extra care to ensure that there was no mistakes in my counting/choosing. BUT if anyone happens to find a mistake, please contact me immediately and I will get it rectified. Because I have announced the winners based on my calculations, I will add additional prizes if necessary.
