We Have Winners - Take Two!Dear Readers, first I want to thank you all for participating in my Giveaway.... but even more, I want to thank you all for being followers of this Blog of Mine! I could not have guessed at the beginning, how much fun it was going to be! You all have enriched my life with your comments and your own blog worlds and I sincerely hope to continue on this adventure for many years to come! And to all those followers who did not win the prize.... I can only offer the hope that NEXT time you will be a winner..... for surely there will HAVE to be more giveaways!
And now for the Details of the drawings! Remember that there were to be two separate drawings... one for the Cherubs and one for the Icons.... and that you could choose to be in either or both drawings.....! I carefully listed all the names of the responders and cut the lists into equally sized slips of paper and folded them in half and placed them in a bowl... as you can see here below..... I decided to choose the Icons first as there were more names in that drawing....
And I decided to ask one of my small friends to come help me with the task of choosing the slip of paper! Henry, who is always up for a bit of Adventure, was happy to come help me! I explained that I wanted him to help me mix up the pieces of paper before choosing one of them......
"You want me to get in there?" he asked.I explained that it might be easier that way.....
"Now what!" he said. "You want me to stomp on them all? Like Grapes? I'm good at stomping Wine grapes!"
"Stir, not stomp!" I replied. "We just need to get them good and mixed up!""Like this?" he said.
"Much more like it " I replied!
"Much more like it " I replied!
And before I knew how it happened, one of the slips of paper flew out of the bowl! Honest! It really did! So I gave it back to Henry so he could show you who he "Chose" as the winner......
Congratulations Helene of "Pubdolls"! You have won the Icons!
Send me your address! and the Icons will be on their way - direct from the Castle Chapel Altar!My e-mail is betsyrogers6@gmail.com
But don't go away everybody.... there is the Cherub drawing too...... and I put the names for that one in the bowl just so......There were fewer names ... so better odds of winning..... And I asked a different little friend to help me with this one. I think Henry had gone off to look for some wine........
So Annabelle helped me!
She thought it was a whole lot of fun to climb into the bowl and throw bits of paper around!
And before I could even explain to her what we were doing,she picked up one of the pieces of paper and said
"Lookit this one!"
"Well," I replied, "I guess you've chosen our winner!"
Congratulations Patty of "Mini Babies"!You are the winner of the cherub paintings!
Send me your address and I will send them on their way!My e-mail is betsyrogers6@gmail.com
