Thought I’d post this quick. I’ll be back later with photos from the conference, but I didn’t want you to have to wait a minute longer. I got up at the butt-crack of dawn to cut and paste all the entries into a single document, thinking I’d use the scissors and put all your names into a big bowl.

But I had 27 pages of entries when I was done! So, I cut out the comments and just kept the names and that took me down to 7 pages of single-line entries!

Still too many. So, I added numbers to each line, then went to an online random number picker and voila! The generator chose “69”—no kidding.

Lucky number 69 is…

But wait. Before I announce the first winner, let me just say how much I enjoyed reading through all those comments—from all three sites where you entered. Some of you were very, very persistent! I hope it paid off.

Okay, lucky number 69 is…Becky Ward!

The winner of the multicultural stash was much easier to choose with only one day worth of entries. That winner is lucky number 16…Eva Sikka!

I need both Becky and Eva to send me an email with your snail mail addresses. Congratulations! Thanks to everyone for playing!

Oh, and I have two more winners to announce later today. One is my March website contest winner—I know April’s almost gone but I forgot!! Bad author! And I have the winner to a contest I ran on the Aphrodisia loop a while ago. Again, mea culpa! Be looking for the new contest rules on my contest page later today!
