And the winner iiiiiisssssssss.........

So , here we are, with the draw for the "Birdbuffet" 6 colour reduction lino.... and I thought I would come up with a really original idea for the actual drawing of the slip.... hmmm, how about this:
Some years back, I bought the cutest little notebook from
Heidi Burtons etsy shop, it came with a super funny little drawing of a raisin and said "everything happens for a raisin"...I just LOVE it, how funny is that... so, if everything does indeed happen for a raisin, then let the raisin do the draw..... this sounds simple....HA.... you think... Albert was the referee, making sure there was no hair raisin shenanigans going on.. to be honest, I don't know if Albert would recognise a shenaningan if one bit him on the a...rm..... but never mind..... so we arranged it all, ate a lot of raisins in the process, threw raisins around like confetti..... and finally got the darn raisin to fall right onto a slip of paper..... no... there was no cheating, I did not place it there, I threw it up in the air and it landed on Ellen's name...CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Not only does Ellen work for the charity Room to Read, that I am a huge admirer of, she also lives in Singapore... (saving on the stamps there, hehe ;o)) you see..... everything happens for a raisin!!!

  5. Congrats to the winner...I've never been not selected by a raisin toss before. Love it! We can't have them in my household but I might try tossing a dried cranberry instead!
