go for that old
Random Number Generator.
There's no heart in that
for me.
No, I must make it
much more complicated
than that.
I have to go back to
SIX posts
and tabulate names.
Then, of course, I must
double check them to make
sure I have each of you
entered the right amount
of times...
the number that you signed in
and left a comment...
and left a comment...
Next, I must enter those names
in a word processing program.
Then, I must make sure that
you all have equal amounts of
"space" on the paper so that
everyone has a fair chance.
I then use an office cutter to
cut them apart.
Then..they are folded and
put into a fishbowl..sans fish!
Whew!
I know...I know...
you want to know who won...
Right?
First you must suffer a tad bit more.
SweetCheeks stayed at her
other grandmother's house
this weekend
Ria stayed with me for some
one on one time.
That meant that SHE got to
dress up and do the drawing.
So....ready?
Here we go....

That is so much cuter than the Random Generator!

Whoever the winner is, she's one lucky lady to know you. I rejoice the day you came into my life, beautiful lady. Oh, I missed the video the first time, Congratulations to the winner.
You make me ashamed of the way I did my names to do my drawing. Jotted everyone's name on a scrap of paper, and folded it tightly.
She's a cutie!! Congrats to the winner.
Diana, I am happy for the winner:) but oh so sad for me.:(:( I just know sweetcheeks would have picked my name.LOL. All your little princesses are beauitful girls. I am going to go see my Emma Pooh today . xoxo, Susie
Congratulations to the winner! She is a "lucky duck!"
Ria is a lovely stand-in for SweetCheeks! In fact, it is easy to see where SweetCheeks inherited her beauty.
Have a blessed Sunday, Diana!

I'm so happy for Diane. No really, I'm happy that such a nice person won. But, what was the point in my bribing sweet cheeks if another princess was going to do the draw? I'm not bitter. I'm very happy for Diane. Really! ~ Maureen
Do I protest too much?
Ria did a great job with the drawing and looks so lovely doing it!

I was sure I heard a drum roll in there somewhere.
Ria is another lovely princess.
And congratulations to your winner.
(sniff sniff -- that would not be me).
Great job!
Only you, Diana, are so dedicated to your fans that you would go through all the trouble to make it this exciting! Is that little munch-ky in a Cinderella dress?! My daughter DREAMS of being Cinderella. And Tinkerbell. And Snow White. And Sleeping Beauty. And Mermaid. She's obsessed.
Congratulations to Diane, and well done to your excellent assistant.
Congrats to Diane! You sure did make sure it was fair. That was alot of work for you.
Oh Ria you look so pretty! And I know you made one lucky lady very happy!! Glad you're getting some one on one time with Grandma!
Blessings,
Gert
You are so funny. I am sure your lucky winner appreciates all of your hard work. I know what you mean about Random Number Generator. Nothing quite beats pulling the name out of a hat....or a fishbowl. :)
xxoo
Hi Diana!
What a sweet comment you blessed me with today! Thank you, my dear new friend.
Your granddaughter is darling and a perfect choice to share with us that Diane of "Lavender Dreams" is your Giveaway winner! It couldn't go to a nicer person.
I have just become your newest follower and am looking forward to many visits to your lovely blog!
Sincere blessings,
Carolynn xo
Thanks so much for your comment at Ladybug Creek. I've taken an unintentional break from blogging this summer. Just seeing stores with their fall decor out already though is really getting those creative juices going. I really thought I had been following you but I had to rejoin this site. Maybe you created a new blog?
Take care. Let's make this a great week.
