Now, I’d be surprised if you knew your comment number, so the winners names are…

Kamber who said: “My 10 month old and I love going for walks. We live close to a park and he loves all the trees around. He can stare for hours, and most of the time he does. My husband and I enjoy telling him about the different trees and he loves it too. We did this last summer when he was a month old, but he’s much more into it now.”

Sarah Flanders who said: “My 7 year old daughter Sarah says that Our family is having a large yard sale. We are using the money for outdoor kids activities like backyard camping, making bird feeders, wreaths from twigs, branches and other things that are on the ground. Planting a kids garden for neighborhood kids. With fruits and vegetables. And a lot of other outdoor activities that my mom has told me about. She is a Girl Scout Leader. I have learned a lot of reuse this and that from her and my family. Brownie Girl Scout – Sarah.”

Jessica who said: “My son who is 3 says “to play with bugs” “and ride bikes.”

Cheryl English who said: “My son Derek age 2, loves to play outside in our fenced in yard. He watches the big fat squirrels climb up and down the trees. He giggles with delight. Nature at it’s best. Gotta love it.”

The winners were randomly picked out of the bowl by Choco, my cat. He can be useful. He loves to play with paper, so I went with the first three names he managed to get out of the bowl.

That’s Homemom3, Rachel and Alicia. I will contact the winners by e-mail. Thanks again to everyone who participated.

Please look for a yummy contest soon.

Shall we go with the bad news first? Sure:

For only being open about a week, this contest had a HUGE amount of entries. Around 25 different people left comments here plus two asked nicely to be included from Offbeat Homes so I added them. In other words, your odds aren’t great.

Now for the good news:

1. Marye asked not to be included which increases your odds by one. Plus in other Marye news she’s got an awesome new Coffee and Tea blog, Kettle & Cup, launching this week and she’s having a contest! You can’t win a book but you might win free coffee! She giving some away each week this month. You’ll have to compete against me though because I LOVE free coffee.
2. I realized just now that I accidentally included the book’s author Lauri because she left me a comment. I just took her out because frankly, I’m guessing she has a copy or two. There go your odds, going up a bit more.
3. Lastly, a surprise. I decided that since I already have a bookshelf full of home building and interior design books that I’d give my second copy away as well. I do like this book but for one thing I’m lucky; I get lots of cool stuff for blogging and for two, so many of you left nice comments, so I figured why not be in the giving holiday spirit to kick off December.

There, now your odds are up some, so let’s do this drawing. Cedar’s MIA so I’ll be drawing names.

The two winners of the cool new book, Downsizing Your Home with Style : Living Well In a Smaller Space by Lauri Ward are…

• Winner one is Breeni
• Winner two is Hil

Congratulations you two! I’ll whirl both of you an email off within a couple of days so I can snag your addresses. I can’t remember which comments exactly these two lovely readers left but I will keep the names in my cup here in case Breeni or Hil didn’t want this book. Although, how could you not. If that happens I’ll re-draw.

Thanks so much to everyone who left a comment. If you’re still contest hungry, Offbeat Homes will be having a contest soon — posted within the next two days and don’t forget to check out Marye’s Kettle & Cup contest if you like free coffee.
