All right. It's done. Are you ready?

I had to write out your names so many times! You guys made a ton of cards.
.
.
.
.
I folded up the tiny pieces of paper until they were about 1/2 x 1/4-inch pieces. Those bounce really well.
.
.
.
.
This time they went into a bowl. The straw hat is in the car. It seems to live there now.

My daughter did the honors as always.
.
.
.
.
I bounced those little pieces of paper as I walked to where my daughter was.
.
.
.
.
She bounced them around some more and
.
.
.
.
dug around until she found the
.
.
.
.
winning name.

HEIDI! Congratulations!

Wait! We're not done yet.

This year, I'm awarding a second prize to an honorary winner. I was looking back over the years we've been doing this on Artsy Inkers and discovered that April's name has never been drawn. What's up with that? Year after year, April shares a ton of Christmas cards with us, and they are all different.

April, thank you for the inspiration. You are our first Honorary Winner! Congratulations.
I would like to do the same thing we did last year. I will send you a gift certificate for the online store of your choice. Just make sure the store sells gift certificates and then let me know which one you'd like to use.
Once again, thank you to everyone for playing.
ETA: Please send me a private message with the email address you'd like me to use for the gift certificate.
