Sensational Giveaway - Winner!

The hat from which the winning name was pulled.

I am very happy to announce that the winner of the $25 HomeGoods gift card is ...

KIMBERBATES

Try to imagine her name in lights - flashing and bold - Vegas style.

And also try to imagine a WOOOP! WOOOP! siren clanging in your ears too. Something loud and happy like you might hear at Six Flags or a carnival.

Kimberbates, you WIN!

Handsome pulled your name from this very hip hat. A hat which is so hip, in fact, that neither of us is hip enough to wear it - ever. We just keep it around in hopes of being hipper one day. Handsome was a bit surprised that we actually did the whole "drawing a name out of a hat" thing, but we did, and so for that reason, we were very happy to have a hat - hip or otherwise - available. 

That lil' scrap of paper says "Kim"- short for Kimberbates, of course.

Thank you for playing along everybody!  I loved hearing from each of you.

Kim's gift card.

I am secretly hoping that she will use her winnings to buy a decorative owl ... I hear that they are very popular this year.

*A special note to the winner, I did a little digging this morning, but I don't think that I have your address. Would you please email that information to me? And I will drop your gift card into the mail asap. Congrats!
