What a flurry of activity around here yesterday. Let's see, I got the kids around to school. I was a substitute teacher for a first grade class so I had to get out the door too. What a day. Man, first graders can be a . . . What?? ::blink:: ::blink:: You don't care about that garbage you say? Humpf. Fine. See if I care. Ok. I understand. You wanna know who won the quilt. I already briefly explained that Razor devised a plan to assure that every entrant was assigned a number. And, extra numbers if they had earned them. That was the hard part. Luckily I had been keeping up with who had posted and sidebarred me so as to know how many extra entries each had earned. So, last night it was really just a matter of sorting through and assigning each entrant the appropriate number of numbers (I'm so technical in my descriptions. I bet NASA has gotten a hold of this and will be calling soon. Like totally!) and then adding up all those numbers so that I could put an ending integer into the random number generator thingy and pick the winnerS. That being said, at the closing time of the contest (7:00pm US EDT) there were 1142 comments. Add in 1990 extra earned entries from all you little lovelies and that makes a grand total of 3132 entries. So without any further ado . . . <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_HRqH6EIhPfw/R-IwkHLEsUI/AAAAAAAABEA/UStmaQUzEio/s1600-h/WINNER.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_HRqH6EIhPfw/R-IwkHLEsUI/AAAAAAAABEA/UStmaQUzEio/s400/WINNER.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179755918388408642" /></a> Number 89 was Kathy at <a href="http://mommiemarzie.wordpress.com/">Mommie Marzie</a>.

How thoughtful of you all. I will keep this big stack of printed out comments and read them when I'm feeling blue. I think Sally Field said it best when she said, "They like me. They really like me." Isn't that what she said? -dana P.S. Wait there is even more. Look for more quilt give aways here soon. Well, maybe. No, okay. Seriously. I'm sewing one now.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909051016007644645-3684437012145296724?l=oldredbarnco.blogspot.com'/></div>Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15248320644132712289noreply@blogger.com63
