Winners for the 1000 post giveaway!

I spent the day with Steven, away from the computer (after 10am!) but it was great fun. We went to St. Petersburg and took in 2 museums, had a late lunch/early dinner at the Crab Trap (yum!!) and stopped in to see my parents. But Steven had been warned that after 8pm I would be going back to my computer!! Here's the deal . . . I used random.org to give me 5 numbers between 1 and 86, the total number of names I had written down.


The numbers I received were: 34, 64, 65, 69, 84

I had been keeping a list as the comments came in, writing down someone's name one time for a comment, two times if they added the blog button and three times if they wrote a post about the drawing. Each name was written next to a number. 



Below are the winners names that corresponded to the numbers picked:

34 = Sharon Borsavage from Pennsylvania!!! She wins one of the ATCs! 
64 = Bobbie Bryan from Oregon!! She also wins one of the ATCs!
65 = Ati Ham-Sas from Norway!! She wins one of the ATCs !!
69 = Joanna Urbani from Kent, UK!! She wins a big fat collage pack!! 
84 = Leigh Sanders from Gerona, Spain!! She wins FREE registration towards any creative swap of her choice by December 31, 2011. 

Congratulations to all the winners!!!!!!!!!!! How exciting! Thanks to everyone for entering. I have all your addresses already from previous swap registration, so we are all set. Leigh, you can simply email me the next time you would like to register for a swap and I will set you up for free!
Please know that I would not have made 1000 posts if not for all the wonderful art that you all send in to swap! So thanks to you for helping to create this fun event! ; ^ ) lenna
