Tinker Art: OneWorld, OneHeart

I had been going to announce the winner of my One World One Heart giveaway on my previous post - but I've just been so amazed and delighted by the synchronicity of this drawing, that I have to give the drawing its own post!

I closed the comments at noon on my drawing, then checked my e-mails quickly and saw I had won a stamp and a tag from MaryBeth, whose blog I had just found, only last night - woo-hoo! Thank you MaryBeth! Then I went back to Lisa's instructions on the Random Generator, and managed to follow them fairly easily (I say that - not because the directions were difficult, they're very easy to follow - Thank you, Lisa! - just that sometimes it can be difficult for me to follow directions! Especially if they involve numbers, which sometimes intimidate me, just a little).

I had propped up my original painting of the design on my giveaway beside the computer to set the mood - and maybe give me a little courage in tackling a new task - and I think maybe my Green Man tree worked a little magic too, as you'll see. The number 54 came up (I hope you can see it in the picture). I'm so glad I took a picture of the process - because I could hardly believe the results myself, when I went to count through my OWOH entries - I had to take another picture - it was such a wild synchronicity! (You can click on either of the little ones on this side of the post, to see them bigger - they're not the greatest photos - but I hope you can see them, because it's such a wonderful surprise - at least I think it is!)

And here's the photo of the numbered comments in my in-box - I hope I did this right - 51, 52, 53, 54 - Fifty-four, MaryBeth? The SAME MaryBeth? Yep - apparently! MaryBeth - YOU are the winner of my giveaway! How's that for synchronicity?!

It seems so amazing to me, that it seems like a sign from the Universe. I've decided to draw one more name for another gift to giveaway - hang on a second while I click back to the random generator - and I'm bringing in a third party consultant this time, from GnomeWaterhouse, just to make sure Mr. GreenMan isn't tampering with the numbers...The number is - 39! And number 39 is - Jasminduft of Poppies and Butterflies (another blog I just found last night).

Congratulations MaryBeth and Jasmin!

Thank you, Lisa and thank you to everyone who entered - I hope to see you again! It's been so much fun meeting so many of you on the OWOH caravan, and I hope to still get around to meet even more of you!
