We have a winner.....

Thank you, thank you, to everyone who entered my giveaway! I got at least a dozen new followers and lots of congratulatory comments. More important, it was an opportunity for me to discover YOUR great blogs!

All told, I had 155 entries, because followers got two votes, and people could get extra chances by sharing on blogs, Facebook and Twitter, in addition to commenting.

So I fired up the random number generator, plugged in "155" and out spat 12.

Because I had started my numbering system with followers first, 12 had been assigned to:

A Polymer Penchant

So congrats, Emma, you are the lucky winner of  Lori Anderson's Bead Soup Blog Party book!

Contact me via email at torquestory (at) gmail.com with your snail-mail address. (Note that the book won't ship until September or October, so be patient.)

As I noted in the giveaway announcement, my celebration of my 100th post happened to coincide with the first reveal of the 6th Bead Soup Blog Party, which seemed like karma to me. And now my announcement of the winner coincides with the second reveal date, which I totally did not plan, either.

In even more karmic convergence, it just so happens that Polymer Penchant is participating in today's reveal, so you can get hopping by visiting her blog, and from there you will find links to the rest of the participants.

Meanwhile, I need to get cracking on some beading myself--I'm participating in reveal #3 on Aug. 25!
