And the winner of the $20 Gift Certificate to the Emporium is . . . (drum roll please)

MaryAnne

Congratulations! Send me an email with your information so that I can send your prize.

And just in case anyone is interested in just how the winner is selected, I'll tell you. It's a very random method that annoys my husband in the middle of the night when he's ready to go to bed. But I insist because I love rules.

First, I cut little pieces of paper precisely the same size. Next I write the names of the people who left comments on the Give-Away post and who are followers of my blog on each individual little piece of paper. Then, I fold each little paper in fourths. I throw all of the papers on the floor and invite a member of my family to pick one from the floor. (Neal chose the winner of the Thanksgiving Point Give-Away. My dear, irritated hubby chose the winner of the Emporium Gift Certificate.) And there you have it.

Thanks for playing. I've had a great time giving stuff away. I feel a little like Rosie (back when she was sort of normal and had her own show and I watched television), Oprah or Ellen (I hear she gives cool stuff away now). Hopefully I'll get to do it again soon.
