Sorry for the sudden silence again, folks. I had been on an overseas trip!

So the names had been written, placed inside a hat, and the drawn by the hubby. Thank you to everyone who participated, even to those who commented for the first time! It's great to know you, and I also discovered quite a few new-to-me blogs.
Okay then, pass me the envelope.
The tote bag goes to… Laura [...]
