Thanks to all of you for playing, posting, visiting. I enjoyed reading your comments.
So that you can experience the suspense of the process with me, here is how it happened: We had a total of 8 posts. In order to save time (as it is past midnight here), trees (as in avoiding paper) and the real reason folks: effort (as in even trying to find paper in an office regularly ransacked by children) I decided to use random.org instead of doing a traditional paper ticket draw. I got a random number between 1-8 to correspond with the number of comments. And what did I get? The result is on the right highlighted in blue:
It is the number 7, or post number 7, which means the winner is (drum roll):
~~~~~~~~~~~~Congratulations Sabine!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are the winner of the first official This Alaskan Backyard giveaway, and the recipient of a weird but cool lot of Alaskan souvenirs.
In fact, Sabine you won twice. As it happened, it occurred to me that some of the posts technically did not qualify for one reason or another, for things like opting out "hey I am just saying 'hi' but not interested in the giveaway" so really there were 4 posts that were actual entries. So I did a redo just to humor myself. Just to see if the result were any different on 4 unique numbers. Well, guess what, this is what I got:
the number 3. Which is still Sabine, as hers is the 3rd qualifying entry. So dear Sabine, send me a message on FB with your address and your gift will be on its way :-)
