UPDATE!     UPDATE!     UPDATE!     UPDATE!     UPDATE!

I am happy to report that Natasha did indeed contact me within the designated time frame.  She will be the proud recipient of this Hold Anything Bag.

Natasha’s reply to my email was

Really?  Whoo Hoo.  Thanks so much.

So there you have it.  My first ever give away has come to a close.  Until next time . . .

Well it was a whirlwind adventure!  This past week was one that I won’t soon forget.  I had the most wonderful time responding to everyone that participated in my first ever give away in honor of Quilting Gallery’s 5th Birthday and Blog Hop.  All together I received 174 comments.

As was mentioned in my original post Random.org was used to select one lucky winner.  Here’s the results of that random drawing.

Congratulations Natasha!

Natasha now has 24 hours to respond to my notice.  If Natasha doesn’t respond I will select another winner.  Natasha you have until 9:00 p.m. (CST) on Monday, December 17, 2012 to contact me.  I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

A heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone that participated in my first ever give away.  I appreciate each and every comment and look forward to sharing future posts with those that have chosen to follow my blog.
