First off - I would like to thank everyone for entering my contest. I truly got such a kick out of reading all the comments and "trash talk" over the last week. I was literally laughing to tears many times.
Secondly...I love the recipes. I have already added them to my recipe box. THANKS!!!
And, thirdly...I am totally a bad contest directions writer. I had hoped everyone would write a separate comment for each of the tasks. Reading over my directions - that is so NOT how I explained it. No problem...I just had to separate out each entry on my own.
Because everyone that entered (well, maybe not everyone) was very concerned on how I was going to pick the winner - I will do my best in explaining the process I took:
- I went through every entry and separated out each individual "entry." For example, in comment #1 (Ashley) wrote about 2 of the "chances" - 1) why she blogs, and 2) her favorite post. So - that is entry #1 and #2 and they both go to Ashley. In comment #2 (Heidi) she wrote about 4 of the chances - 1) shout out to Ashley (Ash got the entry), 2) why she blogs, 3) blogs she stalks, 4) her favorite post, and 5) a recipe. So - Ashley got entry #3 and Heidi got entries #4-7. Lastly, since the 3rd comment was Ashley giving a shout out to Heidi...Heidi also got entry #8.
- Made a list of each individual entry, in order from the comments.
- Went to Random.org.
- Entered the numbers of entries - minimum and maximum (1-45).
- Random.org picked the winning entry.

Okay,now I know this is rigged. I want a recount and the almond joy that was in the basket. Yes Ashley you are a Majercin. I'm calling you Mom and Dad to see if they will adopt me so that I can change my name for the fourth time. Maybe then I will win.
