We Have a Wee Monster Winner....

And the winner is...

CurlyfrySC!

I did my drawing the old fashioned way and wrote out all the entries on slips of paper and drew one from a bowl. Back in my day, there was no random number generator! We walked 20 miles uphill both ways to get to school and wrote on chalkboards.

At any rate, I was pleased that I got so many entries for my first giveaway. I will definitely be having another one soon, so please keep checking in.
