In a strange, lucky twist of fate, Jill is one of my closest friends in real life. (Jill: GET A BLOG, ALREADY!) Since she didn't say in her comment which necklace she liked best, I called her late last night to squeal and giggle with her about What are the CHANCES?! and also to have her choose her prize. (Since it was nearly 11PM, she was sure I was calling with big news....and her mind made the jump to big pregnancy news...but it was not to be. She had to settle for a necklace.) She chose Desert Lilac.
Now, this was where I started looking at my webcam, going Seriously? Who's IN there?! Because Stacey is my uncle's wife. She chose Oasis as one of her favorites, and since she was one of the only commenters who preferred that one, it was a match made in heaven. But...2 out of 3 winners being close to me in real life was starting to freak me out. I clicked the random number generator button again, with one eye closed, hoping for a truly random winner this time.
Looking at the winning necklaces, though, I got to thinking...there were other commenters who really liked some necklaces which didn't get chosen. Should I keep going? I SHOULD! And I did. I decided I'd draw more random numbers until the generator landed on a commenter who'd chosen an unclaimed necklace. And, no joke, the next number that popped up was for an as-yet-unchosen necklace.
The fourth winner is commenter #4, Chelsea!
Back to random.org, I clicked the button 3 more times before landing on another unclaimed necklace.
The fifth winner is commenter #1, Erin!
Erin's choice was Mirage. (A popular choice with many commenters. I was surprised it took 5 tries to give it away!)
With one necklace left, I had to click the number generator a boatload of times before landing on someone who'd chosen that last one, Glowing Sand.
The sixth winner is commenter #31, Peter Marie!
Winners -- send me an email with your address, and I'll mail out your prizes. Have a great LAST weekend in February!
Bring on the Spring!
I'm glad you had such a fun time with your giveaway. I'm not a necklace wearer so I didn't enter. They are certainly beautiful, though.
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this!? Congrats to all the winners!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I want to do this! But I have few blog readers, and no cute necklaces to give away... a lass, if only I was as cool as you Sarah ;) Or would write as good as you! Oh well, at least YOU read my blog, that makes me happy ;)
