| Well, we have actually a winner. No, FOUR winners. At first I am proud to announce the winner of the RANDOM drawing. If you are interested in HOW I did this, unlike before, I was too lazy to write the name of all entries on a piece of paper and put them in a hat (I think I quit doing that after the numbers of entries went over 100) - this time I had Steve tell me random numbers, like a number between 1 and 3 (he had no idea why I asked him) - so this first number (2) determined the number I picked out of his NEXT set of 3 numbers between 1 and 38 (that was the number of pages on the "alternate" listing for people with slow connections) - and then he picked several another numbers between one and five, and I used the initial "2" to decide which of his numbers to pick....complicated enough? I thought it was pretty smart - and the winner through this system is the 3rd picture on page 21 - which is Janine Kloubert! Congratulations!!!!
Now the winners of the "Beauty-Contest" were determined by popular vote, everybody who entered had one vote, and I just counted who got the most.... and here are the winners:
Number 3 is: Aimee Milan Number 2 is: Carolyn Earley Number 1 is: KATIE GREEN!
congratulations to everybody! and yes, I know this is not "fair" in any way, it's just a matter of taste, there were SO many absolutely incredible beads. And the votes were close, runners up for the ranking were Kimberly Affleck, Helen Simons, Waimea Mist, Donna Hakanson, Deb Roesley, Cindy Lemmo, Maureen Kelly, Judy Carlson, Sheryl Hubbard.. but in MY personal book, each bead is a winner. |
