And the winner is....

Sorry this post is so late in coming. We had guests over, and this is the first chance I've had to post anything.

Before we get to who won, I would like to take a moment to thank all of those who took the time to enter. Thank you!

I`d like to tell you about this very scientific process.

First, I wrote everyone's names on a notepad according to how many entries they were afforded (It doesn`t look like much in this big bowl, but there were about 50 entries in total).

Then I hand cut the pieces so they were the exact same weight (very tricky to off-set the amount of ink used in some of the longer names).

Afterwards, I folded each paper to precise specifications and placed them in the hand-crafted bowl I bought on my trip to Meh-hee-co in December (isn't it pretty??).

I then had child #4 (a very lucky number, I might add) mix the contents of the bowl and choose a paper with her left hand while standing on one leg and patting her head with her right. Surely, such lengths have never been taken in all of blogdom to generate a truly random number. I never trust those computerized number generators. What are the chances they'll pick the first or the last?? Exactly.

Anywho, enough rambling...the Ophelia book goes to Suzette Saxton!

Congratulations, Suzette! I'll be emailing you shortly to find where to send the book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Besos!

Hmm, I'm wishing I'd taken a little more time so I could have some fancy handwriting...
