Today is the day.
First let me say I am so very grateful for all the visits and kind comments I have received over the last days. It has been humbling. Thank you Vicki for hosting this event.
And as much as I have enjoyed past blogfests, this one has been the absolute best. The quality of the blogs and the interesting themes have been extraordinary!
I have a winner for my hand woven scarf and I am thrilled.
After writing EVERYONE's name on a piece of paper,
And cutting them out individually,
Folding them up tight (till my fingers bled - just kidding) ... although I did get a paper cut!
... squeezing my eyes tightly closed and sticking my hand into the basket to select one ...
the winner is:

I will be contacting you, Noofy, to get your address ... which can be sent to retiredknitter@gmail.com.
Happy Blogging everyone! Let's all keep in touch.
Congrats to Noofy. It looks like you may enjoy writing out the names and cutting them and then selecting one, when I have a blog give away I however, go to random.org and it quickly picks someone. Either way results in a happy winner.
ReplyDeleteActually it never occurred to me there would be so many entries. Next time I will do a random number generator and keep all the comments consolidated to one blog post so I can use numbers.
DeleteLovely surprise for the winner!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so glad Noofy won - she wanted to so badly!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThough I do wish it was me! :)
Yea, I was kind of surprised when I picked her name. The odds were definitely in favor of a new follower getting picked! But you just never know.
DeleteCongrats to Noofy.
ReplyDeletecongratulations, that scarf is sure to keep your spirits high and your body warm.
ReplyDeleteLucky lucky Noofy - I am a little bit jealous!
ReplyDeleteAs I was telling Elaine when she contacted me today....I've been the winner of parking tickets, speeding tickets, a flat tire, but never ever such a beautiful scarf! At first I thought Elaine was joking, but why? It had to be true and it was - I'm thrilled!!! Thank you Elaine for "picking" me, thanks everyone for your good wishes (and jealously :) I can't wait to wear it (I might even send a picture of me wearing it for posting)!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Noofy. Email me a picture of you with the scarf and I will post it here, if that is OK with you.
DeletePlease do send a photo wearing it, Noofy. Elaine's scarf was so pretty. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Noofy . . . Enjoy the beautifully woven scarf . . .
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Noofy! The scarf is absolutely beautiful!
