Kix Winner Announced

Last Monday I announced a giveway contest for an Insignia Kix mp3 player, courtesy of the fine folks at Best Buy.

Tonight, I want to thank everyone who entered — and tell you about the highly scientific method by which the winner was chosen.

The Draw

At the end of the day on Friday, when the contest closed, I collected all the entries and wrote each email address on a separate piece of paper (recycled junk mail, so no worries, no trees were harmed in the drawing of our winner).

All the pieces of paper were folded up, and dropped into a decorative Mexican basket.

Then I stood on the coffee table, so as to be able to hold the basket up over the head of He Who Hogs The Power Tools — and he was the one who closed his eyes, reached into the basket, stirred around, and drew out the winner.

The Winner

And the lucky winner of the Insignia Kix mp3 player is… Cath, who lives somewhere waaaay down there in Maryland, USA.

Congratulations, Cath!

The Consolation

Now, don’t be too disappointed if you entered and didn’t win this time — your friendly neighbourhood Domestik Goddess has a whole lot of other goodies coming up for grabs in the next little while.

And also, you might want to bop over to Jo Brooks’ blog and check out her giveway for stunning lampwork beads — I’ve got two gorgeous little bee beads she made, and you won’t believe the kind of work this woman can do with glass!

Meanwhile, back to Domestik Goddess…
Here’s a little reward for anyone who troubled to read this whole post, long-winded though it may be! I’ll be quietly collecting comments through the rest of February, and will award a surprise prize to one commenter to be chosen at random on the first day of March. ;) Shhhh, don’t tell anyone! It’ll be our little secret…
