And the winner is…

Thanks to everyone that played along with my blog birthday give-away. Yesterday, I conducted the official drawing–the old fashioned way. I wrote down each name on a slip of paper, folded them up, and put them in a Tupperware bowl.

Yes, I know there is software that can randomly select a name, but it’s not nearly as much fun. So without further ado…the winner is…

The winner is Liz

Liz Gwynn! And what did Ms. Gwynn win you ask? Just this autumn gift tin. (Kind of poetic, huh?)

And because Liz is my adorable niece, and she lives minutes away from me, and I haven’t seen her in way too long, I will be delivering this gift in person. Expect my call, Liz!

Now a couple of questions for you:

  1. What is the best prize you have ever won?
  2. How did you win it?
  3. What is one random fact about you that most people don’t know?

  1. I’m sure I’ve won things before, but I can’t think of what. My bald husband won a curling iron at a work party once, so I won by default!
    Congrats Liz!

  2. Congrats Lizzie-bear!!! I won a trip to San Diego. And a faux animal print coat and luggage.

    Random fact: I had a hard time learning to read. I remember my teacher saying crossly, “just say the name of the picture!” I said, “What picture?” And that’s how it was discovered that I had bat-like vision!

    1. A trip to San Diego is a wonderful prize. Sorry, Lizzie, the best I can do is an autumn tin full of goodies. 🙂

      I love your random fact, especially since you became a voracious reader and a great writer.

  3. The best gift I ever won I didn’t actually win, my mother did. I was 13 at the time and she won a sewing machine. I had that machine for almost 40 years before I finally replaced it! I think Liz will like your gift!
