We have a winner! ...and a runner up!

13 October 2008

It was so much fun going through your 122 comments and visiting your blogs. I was crossing my fingers to get 50 entries, so when we went over 100, I knew I had to throw in another little prize. I wish we could all meet in person at Sonic for happy hour. Okay, here goes:

We were very scientific with our drawing~
I copied and pasted all of the comments into a Word Document and printed them off onto my lovely mauve paper I didn't know quite what to use for.




Then I went back and printed all the people who hadn't ever been to Sonic or had mentioned the giveaway on their blog so they could have another entry.
We emptied out a toy bucket...
Folded all of the comments up and put them inside,

And then my very un-biased assistant closed his eyes and drew the winner...


Drumroll please..........


The winner is Sara!! She is a friend and neighbor from Idaho and has a beautiful new home to decorate~congratulations, Sara! I know you have a Sonic near to use your card for your favorite lime slushes too...
I decided to give away a bundle of the Sharpies from the deal last week to the runner up:
The next winner is Kristi! I don't know Kristi in person, but she is instantly a friend because she loves Sonic coconut cream pie shakes and she posted the most touching video of Jimmy Stewart talking about his dog on her blog. Thanks for making me cry, Kristi! If you could both send me your addresses, I will get your prizes off ASAP.
Thanks so much for a fun giveaway, everyone! I had a good weekend~didn't touch the bathroom, but had some luck at yard sales. I actually took my camera with me, which was an experience. I'll take you on that adventure tomorrow! I hope your Monday is off to a fabulous start....

  8. I had to go to Office Depot twice to get the sale, but I DID find them, thanks to you. They will go in my daughter-in-law's stocking, since she's a teacher.
    And you have such cute little assistants!

  9. Busy bee~the frame was from the Dollar Tree, and the little white pumpkins were from Target last year~they were just boxes of autumn fillers on clearance~I just picked out the pumpkins and just sprayed them with the infamous wal-mart cream spray paint. HTH!
