The First “Christmas in July” Winner is…

Hello, Everyone!

First, I have to say that I have had a BLAST this week getting ready for my first giveaway.

Thanks to all of you who participated!

Here is my very “official” way of keeping track of all the entries…

Each bag represents each Wednesday in July.

Here’s how I did it.  I typed up all the names of all the entries, folded them up, and placed them in the correct bag.

*ALL of my followers’ names were placed in all five of the bags.

*Everyone who put my button on their sidebar has their name in all five of the bags.

*Everyone who left a comment on Wednesday  had their name put in my July 1st giveaway bag.

Then to make sure I did it right, I enlisted some help.

They are very excited to be helping with this!

My oldest son gets to pick out the first winner.  (He’s the birthday boy!)

He shook it up real good.

Thanks again to ALL who participated.

Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!

  7. They are adorable. I did all of my sorting alone and it was no small task. DH drew for me. Your idea was much easier.

  10. Hi Traci! I'm so excited, I don't know if I actually clicked the 'Post Comment' button or not. So I'm commenting again! Oh, I'm thrilled to have won your giveaway! I'm a little excited here! I really don't think I got an email from you. I could have accidentally deleted it! So try me again! I did send an email to your email address in your profile, but it came back.
    Again, thank you so much!!
    You are a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)
