And the Winner Is.....

Okay, I don't know if I'll ever do another giveaway because, as I was putting everybody's name in the hat (or the Superman basket, as the case may be), I kept saying "oh, I hope she wins" and then on the very next one, "oh, I hope she wins" and so on and so on. Basically, preparing to draw a "winner" made me feel like I was actually preparing to slight too many other people. lol Hmmm....I guess we're back to that whole "Kari needs a therapist" thing, huh? But that's for another day. Right now, let's pretend I'm sane and get on with the drawing. I had my youngest son, Jacob, do the honors. How funny that he was wearing that shirt! Never let it be said that my kids don't dress appropriately. lol (OH.MY.GOSH. My 15 year old son is wearing a shirt that says "Your Lucky Day" and I'm so flaky I think he's dressed appropriately! Would you believe me if I said he only wore this to do the drawing? Yes? No? Fine. So I'm a lousy Mom. At least he's not wearing his autographed Hooters shirt). We used Jake's Superman basket (mainly because I couldn't find the Darth Vader bucket that I know is around here somewhere!). Jake took his drawing duties very seriously. Or maybe he was still half asleep. Whatever. He dug around in there, finally let his fingers decide on a winner, and the winner is........................................
Carmen! Carmen, since I already have your address (not because this was rigged, o' ye' of the suspicious mind, but because we're preparing for our Christmas card lists!), I will get your package wrapped and off into the mail as soon as possible! Congratulations and thank you all for entering! It warms the heart to know that so many of you love Christmas stuff as much as I do. And now - I'm off to Granbury again! (Yeah, I'm pretty excited about that!). I've got my camera all ready to take some more pictures - I'm so hoping the stores have their Autumn decorations out in full force! Congratulations again, Carmen!
