And the winner is....

Ok..so...I have to announce who the big winner is..but first I thought I would explain to you how we picked the lucky gal...after all this was a very complicated process you know..

First...we tallied up all the individual comments, reposts, etc...etc...  Then, we fed the information into the computer... well unfortunately that was a bust...there were so many, the computer went on overload and conked out!! UGH!!!

Now what were we gonna do.....hmmmmm....ok..so we decided to print out all the names and entries and attached them individually to Clyde's dog biscuits... Whichever one Clyde picked first, that would be the winner!!  Clyde wanted me to say, he really wasn't crazy about the idea...

Well, that didn't go over very well!! Clyde picked a winner alright!! But then he ate it!!! Didn't think of that...hmmmm..should we wait until it comes out the other end...ugh!!! I don't think so.

Now what!!!

OH!! We can take all the names and throw them up in the air and the very first one that my little niece Flavia catches, that will be the one!

OK! Here we go!!!

UT OH!! Didn't think of that...There was a seagull and it thought we were throwing bread in the air... It scooped down and ..well... sorta.. well, lets just say, my sister in law won't be back to visit for a while...

 So after all that we decided to do it the old fashioned way...

We put all the names in a bowl and picked a winner..

drum roll please.....

and the winner is...
