Blogoversary Giveaway Results!

It's time to announce the winner, folks! We had thirty-two entrants and a total of fifty-five entries including the extra entries for following me elsewhere.

All names were recorded on paper...and thankfully not scattered around the living room when Pumpkin was in a "helpful" mood. ;)

The names were put in a bowl and mixed up carefully. Then Middle Gal chose one name (without looking, of course) to be our winner.

Since Pumpkin seemed to want to get involved, too, I decided to let him announce our winner. 

At first, he just wanted to play with the winner's name...

...and then, he wanted to keep us in suspense. 

But finally, he decided to cooperate. 

Congratulations to our winner, honeysuckle jasmine! :D 

I'll be contacting honeysuckle jasmine today via email. If I don't hear back in a week, a new winner will be chosen.

Thank you so much to everyone who entered, and for all of your lovely comments and wishes. It's so nice to know this little blog has touched so many lives. :) Thanks for sharing this adventure and this crazy doll obsession with me. :)

UPDATE: I've heard back from honeysuckle jasmine, so this giveaway is officially closed!

Drumroll Needed

Hey guys! Thanks for waiting so patiently for the giveaway results today. I had a rough night with Middle Gal last night, who had a bad dream and then couldn't fall back asleep, and then had to get up super early with Oldest Gal, who was headed off to Six Flags with her friend this morning. Needless to say, I've been a little slow and groggy today. ;)

So, I counted and double-checked all of the entries. We had twenty-four people enter the giveaway contest, and a total of fifty-two entries by the time I counted all of the extra entries (for likes, comments, etc.).

 As usual, I wrote all of the  names down...

...cut them out, folded them in half, and put them in a bowl.

Then I had Little Gal pick one name from the bowl without looking.

And the winner is...

...Anna Catherine! Congratulations! :D 

Anna will have one week to get back to me with her mailing address. If I don't hear from her by Monday, August 15th, a new winner will be chosen. 

UPDATE:  I've heard back from Anna Catherine, so she is the official winner. :)

Thank you to everyone who participated, and thank you again for your sweet, wonderful comments. If I had the means, I would send all of you giveaway boxes. :) 

Have a wonderful week! I have a few posts in the works for you that should be up by next week at the latest, and then I will be taking a brief blogging hiatus. Hubby has a few weeks of vacation, so I'd like to focus on some spending time with the family and working on some much needed projects around the house for the remainder of the month. ;) 

Talk to you guys again soon!

MarcotsGirlsDolls Giveaway Results

Happy Sunday, everyone! Since I'm still recovering from the past couple of days, I ended up staying home from church this morning. Which is a bummer, but at least it gave me more time to do the giveaway drawing for the MarcotsGirlsDolls outfit this morning.

We had 14 entrants, and a total of 28 entries counting the extra entries for liking the MarcotsGirlsDolls Facebook page and Etsy shop.

I wrote down all of the names on small strips of paper...

...folded them in half, and put them in a bowl.

After I'd mixed them up, I had Oldest Gal chose one slip of paper without looking.

And the winner is...

Lu & the Eight Little Dollies! :D 

Congratulations, Lu! I'll be emailing you shortly. Just a reminder, Lu will have one week to respond to my email with her mailing address. If I don't hear from her by Sunday the 10th, a new winner will be chosen.

UPDATE: I've officially heard from Lu, so she is the winner. :)

Thank you so much to everyone who entered. There will be another giveaway next month for my Six Year Blogogversary (crazy!), so don't worry if you didn't win this time around. There will be another chance to enter soon. :) 

I have some exciting posts coming up these next couple of weeks, some of which I was planning on posting last week, but couldn't since I was under the weather. Here's a preview: 

Can't wait to share with you! :D Talk to you again soon. :)

And the Winner Is...

It's time to announce our winner! :) There were 42 of you who signed up for the giveaway, and a total of 72 entries counting all of your extra entries for sharing on social media. 

I started with an official tally (shown above).

Then I wrote out all of the names, including duplicates for multiple entries, and cut them in strips.

All of the names went into the bowl, and I chose one at random (without looking, of course). ;)

And the name chosen was...

Jessica P! Congratulations! :D

I'll be sending Jessica an email shortly. Once I've heard back from her, I'll let everyone know on this post. :) If I don't hear from her in a week, I'll select another winner.

Giveaway Results! :D

It's time to announce the winner of the Glamerup doll dress and necklace giveaway! :D  There were nineteen entries total:

Please excuse the painty napkins at the top of the picture. I finished up my maps of my fairy tale world for my $100 Kickstarter backers last week, and I decided to paint one last copy for myself. ;) The computer desk is my all-encompassing work station. ;)

You guys know the drill by now, but I like documenting my process so everyone knows the giveaway winner was selected fairly. I cut all of the names apart on strips of paper.

The names were put in a bowl, and I drew one out at random (without looking, of course). :)

And the winner is....

Beth M!! Congratulations! :)

I'll send Beth an email shortly to confirm her win. She'll have one week to get back to me. If I don't hear from her by next Saturday, a new winner will be chosen. I'll let everyone know on this post when I hear from her. :)

Thank you to all of you who entered. I have other giveaways on the horizon, so don't be discouraged if you didn't win this time around. :)

UPDATE: I've officially heard from the winner, so the results are final.

My Little Pony Express Giveaway RESULTS!!! :D

Okay, guys, it's time to reveal the winner of the My Little Pony Express Giveaway! :D  We had a total of 48 entrants, but with multiple entries included (for liking MLP Express's Facebook Page and Etsy shop), there were 91 total entries!

This morning, I was busy "making my list and checking it twice". ;)  Here are all of the entrants' names, including multiple entries.

Here they are, ready to be folded in half and put in the bowl.

And here they are in the bowl!

I gave them a thorough mixing...

...and then enlisted Middle Gal's help in selecting one name.  (I held it high enough so she couldn't see, and you can't tell from the picture, but she had her head thrown all the way back while she chose a name.) ;)

And the winning name drawn was......

All About Boog!!!  Congratulations!!

I will be contacting All About Boog shortly via email.  Once I have heard back from her, I will pass her email address along to Ruth of My Little Pony Express, and they'll work out all of the other details of her prize.  

All About Boog will have one week to get back to me.  If I have not heard from her by Saturday, December 6th, I will choose another winner.  

As soon as I hear from her, I will update this blog post so all of you will know.

Thank you so much to everyone who entered.  Don't be disheartened if you didn't win this time around.  There will be other giveaways to come! :)

I'd also like to take this opportunity to once again thank Ruth for her generosity in donating three MLP Express boxes, making the review and giveaway possible.  I hope that some of you will be able to do business with her in the future.  You won't be disappointed. ;)

Talk to you guys again soon!

UPDATE (12/5/14):  I've now officially heard from our winner, so this giveaway is officially over. :)
