The Winner of my Annie and Andy Lamp Is.......

Good morning all! How are you all this morning? Finally the day is here to pick the winner of my Annie and Andy lamp giveaway and I wanted to explain my system to you so that anyone that would like to use this system can do so since it can be used over and over and may be need to be modified due to the change of number of participants.

Ok...this is very simple and doesn't take a mad scientist to put together. The supplies needed include a fine tip pen from a pen that will not smudge, a number of earplugs that will represent each person that has signed up for the giveaway, a bowl with a lid, a piece of paper and writing utensil.

1)What you do is make a copy of the list of participants for your giveaway and replace each name with a number in sequence. 1...2....3....and so on.






2)Next you take each earplug and write these numbers on the plug.(I wrote the numbers on both ends.)Each plug will represent that corresponding number/person on your list





3)Once finished place all plugs in a bowl with a lid and have them lay flat inside the bowl.



4) Give a great shake and reach in with a blindfold on ...or with closed eyes and pull out one plug and this is your winner!




This great thing about this method is because the earplugs can be used over and over and just the list will need to be replaced and renumbered for your new giveaways!

All the plugs are the same size and have the same texture so there is NO WAY you can tell who's number goes to what plug until it is checked! I'm sure many of you have thought of this method already ....or may have been doing simular for the giveaways you have already have been having. If you have been doing the name in the hat...well is her another option you may want to consider for a future giveaway!


Now onto the naming of the winner.....I bounced the plugs in there pretty darn good and reached in to find the winning number. When I pulled out the winning plug and read the number I thought I'd get a picture of the winning number and put that with that number/person on my signup list to get a picture....so here it is.....the winning number is 9 and Yorkie''s Primitive is the winner of my Andy and Annie Doll Lamp giveaway! Many congatulations to you and I will send you a private message of congrats and to get your information of where to send your prize!



A HUGE thank you goes to all that signed up for this giveaway. I wish I had something for all of you! Don't worry I will have more giveaways as time allows and so keep posted and I hope you all have a fantastic day!

What another obsession?!

Good morning readers! I have been up early and watching the videos of my newest obsession...Adam Lambert! How did I manage to let this young hunk pass my notice up until now. I have seen him on tv and never really knew where he came from. I never truly noticed him until he did an recent interview, and performance, on Oprah. and was immediately taken with this cutting edge performance! When thinking back I remember thinking now there is a odd fellow. ....a true rock and roller for sure! Maybe into heavy metal as far as I knew. His dark hair, makeup , over the top hair style, out of the norm clothing...yet eyes that can't be missed he certainly wasn't something I could get into...or even like. That just goes to say how people, in general, judge others because of their appearance and won't wait around to see what is behind the veil that hides the soul, mind and God's gifts that aren't readily seen.

I watched the Oprah show and was so impressed with this young mans abilities, was intrigued by his look and loved the wisdom Adam had to show about what has happened to him on American Idol and his developing stardom! I certainly missed a good season when he was competing...and sorry to say he came in second once the season came to a close. The hook was his performance of "What do you want from me" from his newest album. His commanded the stage and had a stage presence that was overwhelming! I've been searching for more videos on line and seeing that this, rising star, is someone that has become my newest obsession.I love to listen to his music ...but the magic of Adam is truly in his performance ablilities. Having done a number of onstage musicals Adam is more than just music. Part of expereiencing Adam is to see him in video. His talent goes far beyond a wonderful voice, a totally unique style and his command of the stage he possess! I'm sure as he gets further in his career he will go far and will continue to follow his upcoming albums...and possibly movies. Here is one of his latest songs that is on the new movie 2012...."Time for Miracles."

A give a way has arrived and just in time for Valentine's Day!

>



Hello everyone! How are all my readers doing since my last post a few hours ago? LOL Didn't give you much time to relax, get something to eat, do something that you've wanted to get done today or even talk on the phone for too long! I'm sorry about that! I promise I will only take a short moment of your time. I am here again...but this time I am posting about a give a way that I am having as of today! My give a way involves a Valentine's Annie and Andy lamp that is so lovely and romantic to add to any small area in your home that needs a little light...or just needs a point of interest. The specifics of the lamp is as follows:

The bucket measures approximately 7 inches in diameter and its overall height measures about 13 inches . It contains a silicone 2 watt light bulb. The lamp has a cord that measures 5 1/2 feet long with an off and on switch. This lamp includes a lightly grunged/ handmade raggedy Annie and Andy, a multi-colored heart that Anne is holding and two grunged larger red/white hearts in the back. Both Raggedy
Annie and Andy are made of muslin, have embroidered noses of red and mouths, eyebrows and eyelashes of black and black button eyes. They share the typical red hair, that these two adorable characters share and is made of red yarn. Anne has a red/ lighter read dress with on with a bow that matches the shirt that Andy has on in her hair...while Andy has a matching red/ white checkered shirt on. They are surrounded by various greenery that would be just beautiful on a hutch or on a table. The bucket was heavily rusted but has a white bow adorning its middle that gives it a primitive or vintage feel! The theme of this lamp would be a wonderful addition to any collector of Raggedy Annie and Andy or love Americana items... or are simply into dolls and their influence.







(retail value: $24.99)
