For inquiring minds, here is how I randomly choose winners for my giveaways. First I go through all the comments one by one and qualify each participant. If you have provided the required information (i.e. how would you spend the $40 gift certificate) then I add you to my open Excel spreadsheet. I think check for added entries and give you extra slots in the spreadsheet if you have any. Then, I use a random number generator for Excell to choose a number from within my total entries. Here’s the generator choosing a number for the Karma Box giveaway:

Excell chose Krissy as the winner!

#217 on the sheet was Krissy (you can see that she got a few extra entries, and that may have helped her to win!

Congratulations Krissy! I’ll be emailing you soon. Be sure and contact me before next Sunday, or I’ll be forced to choose another winner. Enjoy your Karma Box goodies!
