And the Winners Are...

Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.

I'm happy to announce that we have 4 lucky winners.  I went to Numbers Generator and these are the numbers that were chosen...

Counting down from the beginning of my comments, these are the lucky winners...

#5  - Lori Leissner
#12- Teresa Marsman
#15- Linda Ellis
#20- Mary from Barn Bug Studio

I then took the four winning names, wrote them on paper and put into a bowl for Mr. Cottage to draw out...

And as he drew them one by one, I wrote the number of the winning prize on each slip of paper.  I went in the order of the prizes shown in my original blog posting.

Giclee watercolor print, Solitude was won by Linda Ellis

Giclee watercolor print, Burst of Color won by Lori Leissner

Joy Handpainted sign won by Teresa Marsman

Chalkboard Sign won by Mary

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL FOUR WINNERS AND A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ENTER.  I will be having more giveaways in the future just because!

I need all the winner's addresses so I can get your winning prizes into the mail and on their way to their new homes.  So please email me at theredpaintedcottage@gmail.com or message me on my facebook page and/or I will try on my own to connect with all of you.

I wanted to share some great photos of these three sandhill cranes that flew right behind our cottage yesterday evening...

Every now and then they fly in and I just love watching them...

Seriously, the one in the middle remained with it's head on the ground eating/or searching for food during all the many photo shots I took of them.  Just to show you how much I enjoy these crane, look what we have outside our cottage...

Have a great day, everyone!
