Well, on Shannon‘s last giveaway, I was so creative in picking a winner! (Seriously, go look. It was creative.) Today I was just going to randomize a winner. But after I did it, it was so boring, even I wasn’t interested. (I’m not going to tell you the numbers, they aren’t the real winners!) So, I decided to print off the comments, cut them up and have hubby pick one and Lydia pick one. It was 12 pages. So, I waited a few minutes, walked back to our printer. We have wireless, you know. AND IT DID NOT PRINT. Where is it? Why won’t it print? Why is this being difficult on a Saturday morning at 8:46 when all I really wanted was Lydia to sleep in? for it to print?
*sigh*
So. Here’s how it’s going to be. There are 107 comments. If I was giving these books away based on my favorite comments, it would have been a draw between Jo, Tiffanie, Sweet Mummy, Leigh, Erin and of course, Val. But, I didn’t say I’d do that. And I’m going to be a woman of my word and pick two random winners between 1-107. Now, here’s the exciting part…ok, maybe not super exciting, but as exciting as it gets at 8:46 am…
I gave Lydia (my copy of) Boo Humbug and let her open it to any page.
It took a little doing, but after we took the cover off and sat down, she got the hang of it!
The cooresponding comment is the winner! So, without further ado (adu? adieu?), our winners:
#70: Dee, who doesn’t have a blog…
and
#54 (I know it’s blurry, but I promise, that’s what it says!): Kim who also doesn’t have a blog!
Congrats, Dee and Kim! Now, get a blog for goodness sakes! We know we have the same taste in books. We’d come read, I promise.
Thanks to everyone for entering. I hope you’ll come back and visit me!
OH! And don’t forget about my awesome (if I do say so myself) bloggy Christmas beginning THIS MONDAY! It’s going to be so fun! I’d love for you to come back and play along, I’ve got a few of my favorite things ready to give away! (Did you catch that? That was a Christmas song reference! Are you impressed?)
****
oh, oh, oh! I forgot to tell you that I finished reading Boo Humbug and I loved it! Yes, I even cried at the end! Now, you really need to get it for Christmas.
Great way to pick a winner!
(And you were correct with “ado.”)
Love, your local Editor Chick
Congratulations to Dee and Kim! 🙂
congrats!
And I love the write up for announcing your winners. Mine will end up sounding so dull…
Blessings,
Karla
Yay! I’m a winner and I have to say, thank you Lydia for picking me even though I don’t have a blog! I’m more of a reader than a writer!
LOL Good Job Lydia!!! I can’t wait to be a part of “A Bloggy Christmas!
I don’t know how I missed this giveaway, oh wait I do – there were over 600 of them! My little girl’s name is Lydia too, I don’t hear it very often so that’s fun. I’ll be checking out your Christmas Party & adding a button to my blog.
Fun way to choose a winner. Can’t wait for your Bloggy Christmas giveaways.
Awwww . . . I can’t believe I’m one of your favorites! 🙂 You just made my blogging day 🙂
