We Have a Winner!!!

This morning we picked a winner for our Silly Mama Quilts giveaway!  I'm going to give you a run down of how we chose our winner, but if you just want to know the bottom line, go to the bottom line (of this post :)
Meet our judges:

 On the left we have my very own Sunshine, and on the right a special celebrity guest judge:

That's right, folks, it's the old lady who swallowed a fly!  (If you're wondering why Sunshine has bed-head and pj's on, or why the old lady is only wearing her leggings and shoes - we're a pretty casual bunch around here!)

The judges confer about how we'll be choosing the winner.  Our plan involves little slips of paper with numbers on them (1-48, but not including my comment or duplicates).

 Oh no!  She lost her head!

Sunshine fixed her - all better!

 Ballots were put inside the old lady (she does not seem to mind swallowing things, right?!).  Sunshine shook them up....

Then stirred them all around....

And picked our winner!

...drumroll, please.....

And the winner is #38, Hilachas, who said that her favorite item from Silly Mama Quilts (online shop) was the Little Apples Pillow (which, by the way, was the top favorite of all our comments)!  

Little Apples Pillow Cover from Silly Mama Quilts

So congratulations, Hilachas, I'll let Brooke know you're our winner and you can go over and shop (in your pj's if you want to)!

Now, if you are not a winner, please do not be too upset. Our little judge really was trying to be fair:

And how could anyone be mad at this little face?

So thanks, everyone, for entering the giveaway.  Hope you all enjoy my little blog.  Feel free to comment any time - I love to know I'm not talking to myself :)

[Here's something I learned today from Hilachas blog: Hilachas is the Spanish word for those little loose threads that fall all over the floor and sewing area as you finish sewing and snip the tail end of the thread off the sewn area.  - Fun, huh?]

So again, congratulations, Hilachas, for winning the $20 credit to Silly Mama Quilts shop!  

Until next time - be blessed, 
:) Caren
