And the winner is.....

I did the giveaway draws for both my blogs tonight. I used random.org but am not impressed with the way it works. I cannot get the picture to post properly on either blog of the numbers that were pulled. And I did not want to pay to use the third party service for only 29 people who entered. Seemed a bit silly. So I used it on the page and copied it but it will not post correctly. Next time I think I will go back to the days of old and put pieces of paper in a cookie jar and have one of the kids pull them. I can video tape it, make it fun. This was boring and sort of anti-climatic to be honest. Lol! Live and learn. Coming up with a more creative way to handle the next one. I suppose if I was giving something expensive away then paying for the service would be a good option. But I am still a small blog and this was hosted and sponsored by yours truly and I do not ad which means this blog is not a money maker. I may have to rethink that some day. Yet for now I am content the way it is.

Anyhow I know you are dying to know the winner, I pulled up #27, so I traced through and took out all my comments and comment #27 belongs to Juanita at http://www.therecanbeonlyjuan.com/ and here is what she said...so funny-

Follower mention for the win :-)

Let me tell you every time she stops by my blog I end up giggling. Every time I pop by hers I end up giggling. She is upbeat, uplifting and a joy to have visit. We met through blogging, not that long ago really. Her blog is lovely as is she. She is a gluten free blogger which is always a bonus. So many people are having issues with it these days, myself including. So it's nice to know we can find recipes that can help.

So Juanita congrats to you. If you can send me your information I will pop this in the mail monday for you. You can send it to my email at cravingsofalunatic@gmail.com so it is secure. I am excited for you to get it and try it out. I am making something out of it this weekend. Should be fun.

To everyone who participated thank you so much. I have more ideas for giveaways in the future. So stay tuned folks.

Toodles and smoochies to all.xx

    I must admit, I've done one or two give aways on my blog and have never tried to random winner on the computer. I always cut up bits of paper and get my daughter to choose one out of a hat! Much easier and more fun!

    Crystal- I think it's the way to go. I think I will film it next time and put it on the blog. Could be fun!

    Jill- Nice to have you here.

    Dzoli- Lol!

    Andrea- she's a lucky duck!

    Aboutamom- Thanks, you too!

    Tips4 green- Thank you,enjoy yours too!

    lindy- good call. I think doing it on video and posting it could be silly and fun. Which is so me. Think I will do that next time.

    Following back from A Creative Spirit but blogger acting up and I have to post anonymous. GRRR on the drawing. I wanted to use it for my giveaway going on now, but found same thing and I would be willing to pay except can't figure out how to get the list of all the comments or emails or whatever to do it. So I guess I will use it to draw winner but then just announce it. By the way, check out the giveaway at http://www.acreativespirit.com/2011/07/its-time-for-giveaway.html Looking forward to getting to know you.....
