Picking A Winner From a Bouquet of Flowers
Well here it is - the enormous bouquet of daisies you all helped to create with all your wonderful comments about my 4th blogiversary!!
Thank you so much! I couldn't have asked for a more lovely gift than a big bunch of colourful flowers.
I had planned to pick a winner by choosing a flower straight from the bouquet but after receiving so many entries somehow that just didn't seem enough so I extended the process a bit. Here's what I ended up doing.
I wrote your names on individual flowers and then mixed them all up so I wouldn't know which flower was where. Then I went and got Gbf and asked him to choose 25 flowers.
We folded those 25 daisies and put them into this white vase.
Then 10 flowers were randomly selected from the white vase and given to the blue boy to put in his wheelbarrow.
From here 4 blooms where chosen
to become ducks wings! While I placed the wings into position Gbf looked away and thought of a number... he picked the number 2!
The second duck revealed Gill's name so she's the lucky winner of the Swoon Houses!!
Congratulations Gill!!
Thank you so much again to all who took part in the giveaway!! I might just have some more giveaways coming up, you just never know.
If you would like to make your own Swoon Houses block here is the link to a tutorial. Of course I have to thank Camille Roskelly for designing the Swoon block in the first place. All I really did was add doors and windows. :)

ReplyDeleteThat was fun, congratulations to Gill. Love your hens, I gave my five away last year. I didn't have good enough house for them and the door also always got snowed over or in so tending them was often difficult. The new owner took them in only after I had agreed to accept eggs from him instead. Some people are just wonderful to do trade with.
ReplyDeleteWell..now just maybe Gill should post a creative Thank u note...fun could just keep on and on...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for leaving me a comment. Your kind words encourage me to keep sharing my work and stories.
