SO .. back in 'the hat' I go. The next randomized pick was debp, who said:
I am a gfc follower.
debbie
Silly me! She actually DID put her GFC name in there ... see the 'debbie' right under? Well, I didn't see it. So when I went to check my followers, I didn't see a "debp". Back into the hat I went and ended up with a different winner, who has already been announced and notified and has replied to the notification.
So what's a blogger to do when she realizes that she's made THAT kind of mistake? Suck it up and make certain that the original winner gets a prize, too! Even IF it means that he/she has to go into their own pocket to do it!
Debbie, we've already emailed each other; I'll be getting that in the mail to you by the weekend!
I feel so much better!!

That was so nice of you to do. It is really nice when someone can say, I messed up, let me make it right. Unfortunately, you just don't see that too often now.
Thank-you

Hey Julie,
Thanks for the follow! I'm following back. I've just recently been made aware of the kind of thing you are talking about. You are the 2nd person who I've noticed is asking for people's Google names. I might start doing that too! That was a nice gesture you did for Debbie!
I don't think of it as 'nice'; it was just right. It bothered me so much as soon as I figured it out. As soon as I 'fixed' it, I felt a lot lighter!
I think it's awesome that you didn't try to cover up your boo boo. Thanks for sharing :)
