A Winner Is You!

To my dying day, I will stand resolute in the knowledge that the best and most scientific way to choose a random winner is the old, drawing a name out of a hat method.  Some people rely on computer generated software to handle the task, but how do I know that the writer of that program doesn't play favorites.  Therefore, after a week's worth of your entries, bated breath, and symptoms of IBS born of anxious anticipation, we are proud to announce, without further ado, or the kind of overproduced suspense that is seen all too frequently on modern reality/competition shows, that the grand prize winner of our "100 Follower Giveaway," crushing the hopes and dreams of all the other contestants, is the one and only (insert drum roll sound effects and undue, dramatic lighting changes).......Jennifer!!!!

"A Winner is YOU!!!"

Congratulations Jennifer; as Cole Porter wrote, "You're the top!"

"You're the Top"
words and music by Cole Porter

Please email your info to wackytackytiny@gmail.com and we will happily send you your prizes!!!

If I was a less than honest individual, I would have chosen Jennifer solely based on her flattering tribute to wacky tacky:

 "I've been reading your blog for a while and love it! It's hard to narrow down what posts I like the best, but I have to say it's your mini-road trips. It reminds me of the trips I took as a kid. I have to say I find you completely adorable as well! Is it wrong that while I think the purse is amazing, I want to win because I really want the 'Mr Tiny Loves Me' button?!?"

Adorable (a-dor-a-ble) - 1. Delightful, lovable, and charming
2. Worthy of adoration *see Mr. Tiny

However, I am unwavering in my honesty, and therefore I couldn't take into account the fact of how "completely adorable" I am.  I'm sorry, I wanted to, but I just couldn't do it.  An objective hand drew her name from the hat and that my friends, is that.

Thank you to everyone who entered our very first wacky tacky giveaway.  Your patronage and comments are VERY much appreciated.  Here's to a fun summer and many more giveaways to come!


Cheers!

Mr. Tiny

      Thanks for participating RS! I wish that everyone could have been a winner, but there is only so much burlap and hot glue in this world....

    And folks, when's the last time you saw "bated breath" spelled correctly? I mean, except in a real book?

      Hahaha...I knew someone once who had baited breath; there was something very fishy about them.

    Yay, I won! I can't wait to get that awesome purse. I will proudly show it off. And when someone asks where I got it, I will refer them to this amazing blog and the awesomeness that is Mr Tiny. I'm a bit giddy as I rarely win anything, so sorry for the gushing :D

      Woo Hoo! Don't be sorry, I'm glad you won too; I know exactly what it's like to never win anything. The prize will be on its way shortly!!!

    Congrats Jennifer!!

    I had totally forgotten about "A Winner Is You." Hilarious!

    I agree with the pulling names out of a hat method. I rallied against the computer age for a very long time, even typing my college papers on a typewriter before I finally had to admit defeat and give in. But for things like choosing a winner, I say go with tried and true.
