A Spartan is Chosen

The time has come to culminate my 300 celebration with the selection of a couple of prizewinners.  We’ll do this quickly…don’t want to cause any undue tension.  :)

First, thanks to all of you who took the time to throw your name into the hat, and a special thanks to those who advertised my little celebration on your own blog.  You gals (and guys) are truly special.

I ended up with 253 virtual slips in the hat.  I used my iPhones random number generator to select two numbers and the first selection, winner of the 200 picture video from my wife, is…..Talli Roland.

I only ended up with 17 new followers during the run of the celebration, so I’ll only be giving away one $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble.  And that winner is…. Kristin Rae.

Congratulations to the chosen!  Onward and upward we go!  My next celebration will come when I reach 500…so I’ll have plenty of time to think of something new and special for you guys.

Have a GREAT week!
