Drum Roll Please!

I started out thinking that after the last quilt giveaway and giving extra entries for different completed tasks and all that it would be easier to write all the entries on pieces of paper and then draw the winners from the hat. Actually, from my giant Mason jar.




But after looking at the numbers . . . and quickly falling behind . . . I opted for the trusty random number generator thingy. Take a look at these numbers that were swimming around in my head:

-- 2,940 comments on the quilt giveaway blog post;

-- 1,500 of the said entrants earned an extra 5 chances for blogging about it (1,500 x 5 = 7,500) ;

-- 2,402 of said entrants earned an extra 5 chances for posting the graphic in their sidebar (2401 x 5 = 12,010) ;

-- 36 of said entrants earned an extra 50 chances for submitting a video to YouTube that made at least one member of my family laugh . . . which if you do the math is 1,800 total extra chances.

Add all this up people and that means that there were 24,250 chances in the big ole' Mason jar. I was averaging 60 names per piece of standard copy paper so that would mean that I would burn through over 405 pieces of paper just to do it that way. It was then that I embraced the Random Number Generator idea.

Poor Mason jar.




So, we did the same mathematical wonderment that Razor devised for the last quilt giveaway and now I have the winners.

The quilt winner is the one assigned to number 9323 which corresponds to comment number 58 which read:

Lucky duck Sarah did all the things to earn extra entries and they surely served her well! Congratulations Sarah!! Email me at dana@oldredbarnco.com so that I can get your shipping address. Let's just hope I don't pull a bait and switch routine and you end up with the old, tattered, musty, moth eaten quilt we found in our attic. I kid. I kid. Surely, I kid.

Thank you to everyone that played this silly game this past week. It has brought much excitement to my house and made me feel rather giddy. I read each and every comment and found my cheeks hurting from the constant smile plastered on my face. Once all the dust settles I'm hoping that all of you stick around, pepper me with comments and allow me to read your blogs and get to know you as well.

I now need to enter a Dana detox and rehabilitation program. Seriously.
