The pink hair ties are in for a long journey

Now it's time to announce the winner of the two pink hair ties I had offered in a giveaway twelve days ago. Actually, I had planned to use the random generator, but then I settled for a more old-fashioned method this time. I wrote the numbers 1 to 50 on a pink sheet of paper -- a big thanks for all your comments. I so enjoyed reading all of them -- another heartfelt thanks for all your good wishes!

I ended up with 50 folded slips of paper.

I put them in a pink box and shook them well. Then I went to my mom's place and asked her to be the good fairy to find the winner of the hair ties.

Mom closed her eyes, felt a bit around, and then came up with # 44.

Congrats Peggy and thanks for leaving this sweet comment:

"hi! thank you for inviting me to join your giveaway! it is so sweet! you have the same birthday as my sister! a blessed and joyful birthday to you!"

I hope your sister also had a lovely birthday -- please tell her hi from me! I just love your blog -- lots of interesting things to discover. I just saw that you recently have been lucky winning some other giveaways -- it must be your lucky month! Maybe rescueing little Squirt brought some great karma into your life. I hope you will enjoy the hair ties -- they will be on their way from Germany to the Philippines as soon as I know your address. Have fun with them!
