And the Winner is……….

purseThis was a close one, and it was worth it, see the contest here! I had amazing results and I am sure that 7Loaves is loving the attention they got! So without going on and on, the winner is Bloggrrl! Below are the screen shots of how I picked a winner.

Bloggrrl, if you see this before I get to you, all I need is your address to send the purse, it is boxed up and ready to go!

My method was to randomly pick from the list, I want to thank Colleen of Geeky Speaky for helping me figure out how to fairly pick out a winner without having to cut up 163 pieces of little paper with names! :-) In order to do this I opened Excel and put everyone in there, in a column, if you had 10 entries you got ten rows. Once everyone was in there I sorted randomly over and over until the list was well mixed up. At that point I used the random number generator to show a random number between 2 and 167 - It showed number 58, which was Bloggrrl!

Entering everyone into excel:

Congrats again!! The next contest will be on my business blog for a brand new stick of computer memory (256) My hubby bought the wrong kind for his computer, instead of returning it, I am using it for you!
