And The Winner Is.............
Patricia @ ButterYum
Wow, I can't believe all the buzz my little giveaway generated - this was so much fun!
I know you're all dying to find out who won, but first I want to explain the process I used to pick a winner. I was originally going to throw names in a bucket and blindly pick a winner, but when I saw how many bloggers were entering the giveaway, I needed to find a more efficient method.
Plan B - use Random.org, but oops, I offered to let bloggers have multiple chances if they tweeted and blogged about the giveaway, so I had to figure out a way to give them the extra chances and still be able to use Random.org to pick a winner. So I ended up assigning additional numbers to the bloggers who earned multiple chances. For example if I had total of 10 bloggers enter and 4 of them earned 2 chances, I'd have to increased the total number of chances to 14. I hope that makes sense.
Anyway, there were 109 bloggers, but a total of 121 chances to win, so I entered 1-121 into Random.org's automatic random number generator and it chose number 36.
So, without further adieu - the winner is:
