I have been excited all morning about finding out who would win. The Random.Org site had to wait a little longer because I was driving the kids across town and back. On Fridays when there is no school with the strict 7:30 start time, we treat the kids to Dunkin Donuts. I'm sure their camp teachers are loving us this morning with them jacked up on sugar. I got a glazed doughnut, but it only re-inforced for me that I just need to stop buying doughnuts for myself because they no longer taste as good to me. I have silently been following a handful of bloggers for several months who have eliminated sugar from their daily life and I do feel better for it.
I truly enjoyed reading all of your comments and literally laughed out loud. Cindy's was my favorite. She has such enthusiasm which always brightens my day, but this comment has had me laughing every day since she posted it!
OMG! I just died and went to heaven girl! And I'm not a beader - BUT OMG Imagine the possibilities of combining these with my silver!! OMG OMG OMG..
NOW... I don't feel right doing this on YOUR blog... but my absolute FAV blog... in the whole world... is Keirsten Giles ~ cerebraldilettante.blogspot.com OMG she's so talented and funny ... omg FUNNY...sometimes I pee myself!!

Thank you all for taking the time to leave the names of your favorite blogs and Etsians. It took me a few hours last night, but I got them all in a list and verified names/addresses. Since there were 99 different blogs noted and 68 shops, I will be doing two posts to keep them separate. Out of 153 commenters, 32 of you name Lorelei's blog as your favorite. She was also the top favorite shop. I do owe her big thanks for alerting so many of you to my giveaway and will be sending Lorelei her own goody box of beads for being at the top of the list of favorites for blogs and shops by leaps and bounds beyond any other blog or shop named. Yay Lorelei!
But enough of my morning and other ramblings, you folks want to know who is the Lucky Winnah! So here you go.
Count with me folks. Twenty two was easy. Not too far down on the list at all. When I count down to commenter 22, I get to Nicole Campanella of Beadwright.
Congratulations Nicole!!!!
You are the winner of all these luscious beads :D

Just minutes ago I read Kelly's email to me asking for my mailing address. Then I spent 10 minutes in such happy disbelief that I almost fell over from heart palpitations. LOL just kidding. I can not be more thankful,happy,excited,thrilled exhilarator,delighted,ecstatic,and
overjoyed. I am on cloud nine. As I wrote to Kelly it is very close to my birthday so this a fantastic.
Now that you know how I feel,:) Kelly, thank you so very much for your sweet way and you incredible generosity. Karyn is correct when she says things have been a bit tough for me and this just blesses my heart and again reaffirms how wonderful all of my blogging friends are.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
