Un-Cat Grab Bag Giveaway Winner!

August 9, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat32 Comments

Sadly, the winner does not get this lovely red CVS bag - there was no room!

I could not believe how much stuff my human brought home from BlogHer. See that bag? It weighs a whole pound more than me (which means it weighs two pounds less than Binga). In fact, there was so much stuff that my human upgraded the prize to a large Flat Rate Priority Shipping box! She only kept a few things for herself, things like chips that would have gotten smashed, and some pens. And one thing she got doubles of because she wanted one of her own so badly. Hopefully, the winner will post it on their blog so you can see what this dorky thing was. (Hint to the winner: it takes up a large percentage of the box!)

This does not look very official!

Here are all the names of those who wanted to be entered in the giveaway. What a mess! I told my human to organize it better.

Making sure that ALL the names got put in there.

So she placed all the slips of paper in a small bag, and expected me to choose the winner.

Everybody wants in on the excitement.

Naturally, this drew a crowd. I couldn’t get a paw in edgewise.

Maybe she thought she could take Tortie Tuesday privileges.

In fact, Binga decided to just barge right in.

Serves her right!

But I think she got in a little over her head.

I can't believe she did something right.

Amazingly, once she extricated herself, she had pulled out just one name, so it was meant to be!

The least my human could have done was get the focus right.

Can you see the winners’ names? Let’s get a little closer.

And she STILL can't get the focus right! She gets an F for photography today.

That’s right — it’s Toby & Leia! Concatultions — the box is already on its way to your human!

    Congrats to the winner! Oh the look on Binga’s face in the last photo of her with “her” name…is priceless and made us chuckle! She should definitely be your name-picker-outer from here on in!

    We laughed at Binga with her head in the bag–great capture. 😀

    And Sparkle, for some reason every time our mom sees a pic of you with “the look” (i.e. photo #2), she thinks of “angel” Annie.
