How To Give Away A "Keep"
First read all the comments under your giveway post. Be profoundly cheered by a flock of adventures almost like birds in the sky.
Then ask your daughter to help write a list of all the entries to make sure nothing falls through any cracks. Go to the mall thinking you will buy place setting cards from Crane to write names on but then realize that they cost $1.00 apiece and you need a total of 115. Debate the purchase anyway because it would be fun but the Sturdy Gal is whispering in your ear so buy a roll of Tiffany blue wrapping paper and proceed to cut slips and write out names.
Realizing that there are too many slips of paper to fit into your silver bowl, retrieve the large glass piece from the cupboard, fill it with slips, and mix them up.
Close your eyes. Reach in and mix some more. Grab a slip. Then make your daughter take a picture of your hand in the bowl. Keep your eyes closed. You ask your daughter to turn all the slips over so only blue shows. Because you are picky like that.
Then, eyes still closed, turn over the winner. Tada!
Feel briefly embarrassed that you have terrible handwriting, but put that aside and wish Plus Size Bride a big congratulations!
So hooray! Congratulations! The CSN stores representative will be getting in touch! Please email me with the contact information I should pass on! Now I will go figure out how to do this again. Or something similar. Thank you all so much for participating.
