Well, I ended up staying awake far later than I should have last night, but I really wanted to get the results posted today as promised. Thank you all SO very much for the overwhelming response to both my giveaway and your kind words about my blog. I really appreciate each and every one of my readers, and I’m glad to have so many new readers as a result of this contest. 
Now, on to the matter at hand. 
I entered all the names into a large numbered list. I ended up with a whopping 402 entries since so many of you kindly posted links on your blog. Thanks!
After getting all the names pulled together, I used random.org to select the winner.
So, without further adieu, the winner is ….
Valerie, the Fog City Dweller! Congratulations, Valerie! 
If you’ll drop me an email with your mailing address, I’ll get everything packaged up and get it out in the mail to you in the next few days.
Until next time …
Wow, I can’t believe the new moon has come & gone and I forgot to post my TUSAL (Totally Useless SAL) update for the month! Thankfully, I saw Valerie’s update on her blog which served as a reminder to me.

You’ll likely notice a lot of metallic ribbon and braid near the top this month. That was from the Multiplicity class that I took. It was a fun piece to work on, but I was glad when it was finished so I could have a break from all those metallics and get back to some floss.
We’re also down to last call for my blogiversary/1000th post giveaway. As of the time I’m writing this, there is about 25 minutes remaining to enter. I’m going to try my absolute best to get the winner announced tomorrow as promised. However, my DSL modem/router died very late Sunday night and I was wouldn’t internet access at home until last night when I replaced it. Losing two days of internet access at home resulted in me getting way behind in adding the names of the entrants to my list. As you can tell by the number of comments I’ve received, it’s a bit of a daunting task. 
Anyway, if I don’t get completely caught up tonight, then I’ll finish up tomorrow night and announce the winner on Friday.
Until next time …. when I announce the big winner ….
