The Prize |
Hey you,
Thanks to everyone for playing along. I'm very touched by the response. It was really fun reading all the comments. I really felt like a queen for a few days. You guys made me laugh and giggle and blush. How sweet! This giveaway unearthed a few "lurkers" too. I was thrilled to bits. And the best part of this giveway? I got to know some of you a little better.
A total of 51 entries were received. You know I'm into statistics, rite? So here's the breakdown of the 51 entries in terms of location.
US - 13
UK - 8
SINGAPORE - 7
AUSTRALIA - 7
NEW ZEALAND - 3
CANADA - 2
BELGIUM - 1
DENMARK - 1
IRELAND - 1
INDONESIA - 1
MALAYSIA - 1
PUERTO RICO - 1
SLOVENIA - 1
SPAIN - 1
UNKNOWN - 3
Are you surprised the most entries came from US? I'm not because I know most of my readers came from US. I've started getting more readers from UK in recent months. I have no clue why. One last interesting tidbit about the stats: All 7 entries from Singapore are from people I know!
I couldn't possible use a random generator to select the winner. It felt so inpersonal. So I let the rabbit pouch do the choosing. I wrote the names of all entries onto exercise paper from my girl's old books. Yes, I checked and re-checked I had all 51 names. Then I put them into the rabbit zip pouch.
Then I zipped it up and shook the pouch a few times. The idea is to unzip the pouch and let the names fall out until I had 1 name left. And that would be the winner. I counted the entries as they dropped out of the zip pouch. Eventually I had 50 entries! I shook the last name out. What? It wouldn't come out? What a tenacious entry. I had to fish out the name myself. This entry really really wants the zip pouch.
