Thank you to those who entered. This was fun! So much fun that I am changing the rules. Instead of having just three winners, I added a few. You'll see.
Before I name the winners, I want to explain the selection process. I could have put the names into a hat, but since I'm an accountant I was driven to develop a spreadsheet instead. I listed the names of those entered for each of the gifts and then used the random number generator in Excel to number them--with the lowest numbers winning.
Okay, on to the winners (as chosen by Excel):
herrohachi shirt: eQ
Hope Diamond pendant: Thanh Thao
Rhinestone necklace w/earrings: Jing
Now for the additional winners! I am awarding herrohachi shirts to the folks who finished LAST in the computer rankings because there is just something sad about coming in last (though it can be amusing, depending on the circumstances). The winners are:
Elaine (last for the shirt)
LOLanne (last for the pendant)
Dana (last for the necklace)
There's more! Two people went above and beyond in reposting the details of the giveaway (Kym was starting to show up everywhere) and I am awarding them herrohachi shirts for being so helpful--thank you both! The final shirt winners are:
Megan and Applepie
Okay, I will contact the jewelry winners for their contact information. The six shirt winners need to e-mail their contact information to Kym--and everyone should visit her shop.
Thanks again to everyone who entered. I plan to do another giveaway during the summer. It will be open to followers only as a thank you. I'm not sure why anyone reads my blog, but I greatly appreciate it--without you, I'm just talking to myself here!!! LOL
PS - Kym, I forgot to exclude you from the shirt giveaway. You finished 3rd!!! =)
Awh congrats to all the winners!!! It's so much fun to have a giveaway!
