Wow, when I announced a little giveaway, I never thought I'd get this kind of response! It was so incredible to hear from so many old friends, delurkers and people who just stopped by from other blogs.
We did this old school, cutting up strips of paper and putting them in a bowl.
Gianna took it very seriously, although my brother-in-law rolled his eyes and left.
We had a few false starts...
Until she got the hang of it, and I pried the winner's name from her tiny fingers...
As I was reading through all of the comments, there were so many where I thought, "Oh, wouldn't it be great if she won!" Well, Nicole was one of those. Not only is she a "crazy bizzy mama" of three gorgeous girls, but her mama is one of the nicest people I've met on the internets. Congratulations, Nicole!
Thank you Gianna , you rock! :o)

Hurray for Crazy Bizzy Mama! I'm glad that a Nicole won, even if it wasn't this Nicole. Actually, my stash closet is glad too. It's so full, I'm not sure it could take another skein.
Good job, G!
