On Monday, I put my McDonald’s Gift Card up for the Bloggy Giveaways.  Tuesday, we had a huge snow storm and I have been without internet all week (well, not from the storm, our internet has been gone for 4 weeks, we have been borrowing the neighbor’s for a while, but theirs went out this week).  My poor little blackberry has worked overtime…241 comments!!  All for the gift card!  Now multiply that by 2 (only because 90% of those comments were held waiting for me to approve them, and once I approved them, then they send me out another email)!  That’s a whole lot of emails!!

Ok, so you don’t really want to know about all that…the reason you are here is to see if you are the lucky winner, right?  Awe, now come on…you know you want to know!!

Random Number Generator (I would post the photo, but for some reason it isn’t going to let me…so you’ll just have to take my word for it!)

choose number 120…I was praying for a small number so I wouldn’t have to count those all out…it only took me 4 times to get it right twice!!

So…the Winner is…

I love red lobster. I think I love it so much partially because I rarely get to go there. We don’t have one in our town. It’s always been a favourite of mine!

I will be emailing Rebecca tonight to let her know that she has won!

Thank you all for entering!  I sure hope you do stop back by and visit again!

Congratulations Rebecca!!

Thanks for stopping by!  I’m Annabelle and this is my blog!   I amuse myself sometimes!  Feel free to look around my blog and if you like what you see, feel free to subscribe!

As far as where I’ll ship to?  Well, if you have a McDonald’s and they’ll take a gift card that was purchased in the US, then I’m willing to send to you!!  Only 1 entry/comment per person!

There are ton of giveaways going on right now…want to enter more?  Go to Bloggy Giveaways and check them all out!!

I’m sure most of them won’t come back, and that’s ok…there were a lot of giveaways.  I sure hope some of you did come back though.  If so, Welcome to my blog!  I’m not really great about updating, but I desire to update frequently.

I also wanted to take this time to thank Jessica for contacting me to giveaway items for her!  Thanks…I had a blast reading comments…even if it was the “count me in” or “I’d love to win this” type of comment!

Now…onto business!

I know you are all waiting on pins and needles wanting to know who the 3 winners are right?

I won a WordPress Blog!! Thanks so much to Lisa from Simply His Blog for picking me to win!! I’m so excited!!

So, stay tuned…there will be changes around here!!!

I’ve been busy with doing nothing!

No, seriously…I have been working on VBS, homeschooling, spring cleaning (yeah, I do that from time to time…maybe not every year, but once in a while!), and trying to relax. I did enter a ton of giveaways last week during the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival and I did win a couple things…a Hannah Montana Head Band for my niece, The Prayer of Jabez for Women by Darlene Wilkinson, Yoplait Kids Yogurt drink 6-pack, and Fruit Roll-Ups.

I also have quite a few more blogs that I subscribe to now too! Maybe sometime soon I’ll get that list updated.

Oh and tonight…not only did I get my hair cut (shoulder length…it was down to the middle of my back), but I also highlighted it!

Well, this isn’t such a profound post now is it!
