Michael Kors giveaway WINNER

Let's just get to it, shall we?

A huge congratulations to HILARY ADAMS, you are the lucky winner of the Michael Kors golden oversized runway watch! 

Hilary, I can't message you on Facebook, but I have sent you a friend request. Please send me a message so that I can get your shipping information. I'll be waiting for your reply. If I don't hear back from our winner before November 28th, 2012, I'll draw another winner.

A huge thank you to everyone that entered the giveaway and that has been so supportive of my blog. Your lovely comments inspire me so much and I'm so grateful to have so many wonderful readers here on Pretty.Random.Things. I really appreciate all your kind words, and that you take time out of your day to comment on my posts.

If you didn't win this time, don't be too disappointed, I have another giveaway coming up soon!

Here's how I picked the winner for this giveaway

I know that there are other ways of hosting a giveaway on your blog and generating a winner, but I'm not 100% sure how to use that yet, so I decided to do it the old-school way this time.

List of entries

First, I went through all the comments on the giveaway post, and copied and pasted your GFC (Google Friend Connect) and Facebook names on a list. If you Tweeted, Pinned or Blogged about the giveaway, you got extra entries.

Then, I went through the list and double checked whether you are actually following my blog with GFC and if you liked it on Facebook, which were the requirements. If you claimed to have Tweeted, Pinned or Blogged about it, I also checked out those links. (Yes, it took quite some time, but I wanted to be sure an honest person won this giveaway.) I deleted your entry if you entered yourself more than once, or if you didn't follow this blog with GFC or liked it on Facebook.

In total, there were 494 entries.

Choosing a random entry number

Lastly I went on Random.org and generated a random number to get our winner. And voila!

Once again, a big thank you to all my loyal readers. Stay tuned for another exciting giveaway coming up soon.
