 I took all of the names of the commentors and put them into a list at random.org and then randomized them.
Two drawings. One for each item.
That's how I drew the winners.
Please shoot me an email and write HEY MARTA! I WON STUFF ON YOUR BLOG in the subject line (so I don't accidentally delete).

I'm grateful to all of you for your patience and for your lovely supportive comments.  You MBFCF readers are truly awesome!
Just reading all of them make me realize that really, I am the real winner here.

And now we return you to your regularly scheduled blogging. =D
