Egg on My Face...And the Winner Is!

Let me share how I picked the winner.  Then I'll share a little about the “egg on my face”.

How I Picked the Winner

I cut up little squares and numbered them 1-53 (the number of followers), mixed them up in my favorite little hobnail bowl. (No, that is not a stray number in the back of the photo.  It’s an extra.)

I assigned a number to each of my followers starting at the first ones on the list.  Then I pulled out the awesome number thirty-seven.

Looking at my list, number thirty-seven.... and the big winner is.... Talie Bagley from Abilene, TX.  Links to Talie's artwork:

Congratulations Talie!  Thank you so much for following my blog, and here’s to your success.

Egg on My Face

I was so excited this morning to give away the painting, and trying to still figure out Instagram that I was a wee bit distracted.  I clicked on Talie’s avatar and it took me to her profile page on Blogger.  Why I didn’t see her blogspot url there, I don’t know.  But I ended up clicking on the blog she follows called 71 Toes.  So my first blog post, which I have deleted, was about a family with a daughter named Lucy who has a rare syndrome.  It is a very touching story and I encourage you to check out 71 Toes and the I Love Lucy Project.  However, 71 Toes, doesn’t follow this blog and is not the winner of the painting.  Lucky for the real Talie!
