First off, we want to take a moment and give a heartfelt thank-you to Everyone who stopped by and weighed in on these hard questions. Your input was invaluable! And we greatly appreciate it.
Secondly, the barrel has been stirred, the wheel has been spun, (so to speak,) in other words the random generator has randomly generated a winner and the winner is...
Brian Crouse!
Thank-you, Brian, for joining the many kindly folks who helped us out with these decisions!
(I have emailed Brian with the notification of his winning vote!)
You may all be interested to know that the entry by which he was selected winner was number 49; in which he answered question Number One by choosing Red as his preferred background color. This proved to be a popular choice; outweighing the other options by a large margin.
In fact, why don't be just break down the numbers right here?
(You all love numbers, don't you?
)
We'll go there right after this message.
As a second prize/giveaway/thing, an additonal copy of Jeweler's Apprentice goes to...
Kim at Of The Earth Artisan Works. (I've notified Kim of her available copy as well.) Have fun with the read, Kim, and I'd love to see more of your jewelery work!
