We have a winner!!!!

I was blown away by the amount of people that entered to win one of these market totes! Over 200 of y'all....WOW!!!! I really appreciate all of your sweet comments and the nice things you had to say about the store and the blog. I really enjoyed hearing how you all would use the tote...there are SO many uses for these things!!

Thank you so much for entering, and a special thanks to those who posted about this giveaway on their blogs. After the extra entries for those who linked on their blog, there were 235 entries! I had grand plans of printing them all out, cutting them up, putting them in a bowl and drawing a name out. Well....after copying and pasting them all into Word, there was 51 pages. Aaagghhh! I shrunk the font size, narrowed the margins, deleted all the extra spacing and got that down to 17 pages...that's better! Then, after hitting the print button, I noticed that nothing was coming from the printer. That would be because I am almost out of black ink and it didn't have enough to make it. Soooo, back to the drawing board I went and ended up numbering the comments and using random.org to pick the winner.

Are you ready for the results??????



And entry number 174 is............




Seriously, could she be any cuter??? I really think not! I am so excited for Caroline!!! She teaches Art, is a fabulous artist herself, and she said that she would use the market tote to carry all of her art supplies from her car to school. I love it, and I love her! Congratulations Caroline!!! I will email you to discuss the details.

Thank you all so much for playing along. I can't wait for the next one...I'll have to think of something really good ;-)
