Today is the day to pick a winner of my Blogging Friendship quilt! I printed out and cut out all 140 comments to my Blogiversary post. Then, I dumped all of Ozzie's toys out of his toy basket and put the paper strips in it.
My assistant put his nose in the basket and selected a winner.
Of course, I wasn't thinking that he probably would not be keen on giving up the strip of paper he selected, but after a bit of a struggle I got it from him.
Congratulations to my friend Susan Ramey Cleveland of Blackberry Creek! I am so happy Ozzie picked you! Send me your address and the Blogging Friendship quilt will be on its way to you!
What a good boy Ozzie, good, good boy. And congrats to Susan. Fun for everyone!
Giftage and Festoonerie Love, *karendianne.

Nicole, I've been doing a happy dance all over the house. I can't believe I have actually won that gorgeous quilt. Thanks to you and Mr. Ozzie. Glad you got the strip out of his mouth before it went bye-bye. Oh, BTW, do you think that wine rack might be in a hazardous place? Just don't let Ozzie near the corkscrew! Thanks again, dear friend. You are a kind, generous and extremely talented lady.

Nicole, when I saw the first photo on this post and had not yet scrolled down, I thought: 1) Ozzie has moved out due to the lack of trust about the beach business; or 2) Nicole has decided to give Ozzie away instead of the quilt!
Happy to hear it was none of the above...and congrats to Susan...we are all way jealous!

Thanks to all of you for the congrats. I promise to be a good steward of the quilt and think of you all every time I snuggle under it. And, Kayte, I would have gladly taken Ozzie if Nicole had decided to give him away. I love that smile! --Susan R.C.
