Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

It's my 1/2 Blogiversary, y'all! When I started this blog 6 months ago, I wanted to be a combination of Elsie Larson and Zooey Deschanel. I wanted to be cute and quirky and post DIYs and thrifting adventures. I muddled through a few of these sorts of posts and quickly realized that my strength lies in snark. I'm more Bloggess than Beautiful Mess. Except without the cussing and dead animals. Or book contracts.

To those of you who stuck around through the awkward finding my "blog voice" months: thank you. To those of you who started reading more recently: don't bother going through the early archives. To those of you who are only here because you entered the giveaway and have no plans to ever read this blog again: I ain't mad at ya.

Now. It's time to announce the 1/2 Blogiversary Giveaway winner! I'm feeling generous, so I decided to turn one winner into five winners! It's getting crazy up in this blog. I assigned each entrant a random number for each entry they earned. Then I feel in love with that sentence and we ran away together. Then I used random.org to choose:

Grand Prize: Basket of Random Awesomeness Winner (1st # chosen) - Kacey
2nd Prize: two 8x10 surprise* WA prints (25th # chosen) - Anna
3rd Prize: one 8x10 and one 5x7 surprise* WA print (1st chosen 5x) - Erin
4th Prize: one 8x10 surprise* WA print (1st chosen 25x) - Kristin
5th Prize: one 5x7 surprise* WA print (1st chosen 3x in a row) - Chelsea

*I will choose the surprise prints based on your 5 likes (if you gave them) and your blog (if you have one). Might be something from my shop, might be something brand new...it's a surprise!

I'll be in touch with each of you for mailing addresses.

Oh snap! 1/2 Blogiversary Giveaway

Obsession Confession Sunday will be back next week. I just had to get this in your brain pan on the 1st day of July...

Have I mentioned how terrific I am at putting together random packages? It's my fourth greatest talent. In honor of my 1/2 Blogiversary and my love for you fine folks, I'm putting together a rand-o package full of wrapped surprises for one lucky reader. I will announce the winner on July 25 - the day that marks 6 months of Whitfield Awesome blogging.

It is very likely that the random package will include things like beauty products, accessories, art, stuff to read and/or weird vintage items. If a dude wins, I'll keep everything for myself send him a gift certificate and a picture of someone else's boobs and draw another winner who will most likely be a lady. 

Recent packages of randomness for making others feel awesome, yes.

How to Enter*

1. Follow Whitfield Awesome through Google Reader, GFC, Bloglovin, HelloCotton, Blogger, etc. Leave a comment letting me know how you follow. 1 entry for every which way you follow.
2. Follow @JenOsaurus on Twitter. Leave a comment with your twitter handle so I'll be sure to count you! 1 entry.
3. Tweet about it. Each time you tweet something with my twitter handle @JenOsaurus and the phrase "WhitfieldAwesome.com Giveaway", you gain an entry. You may tweet this 5 times. Well, obviously you may tweet it 5 times per minute every minute that you are awake if you so choose. But you'll only receive 5 entries maximum. (You don't have to leave a comment telling me that you tweeted. Though you can if you want to.)
4. Mention the Whitfield Awesome giveaway on your blog. Grab the button below and place it somewhere on your blog - in a post, on the sidebar, whatevs. Leave a comment with a link to your post/blog. You'll get 5 entries!
5. Leave a comment on this post telling me 5 things about yourself. I'll be gathering items all month but will leave a little room to add a few things after the winner is announced. I will take the 5 things about the winner into account when adding the last few items to the package. You will receive 1 additional entry for this comment.

Update 7/3/12: You don't have to separate each entry into different comments. You are certainly welcome to if you so desire. The more comments, the more popular I look.

*Entries accepted through July 24, 2012. If you unfollow after the giveaway, I won't hunt you down and take the prize back. But I will get revenge. Someday. Somehow. When you least expect it.

P.S. Yes! Readers outside the USA are eligible. You kids are so worth a little extra shipping cost.
