Random.org is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Ok, maybe not that great, but it sure beats writing names on little slips of paper and drawing a name out of a hat.
…And the winner is Madleen (comment #10)!
Congrats to Madleen! She wins a set of tropical paradise beads in her choice of matte or shiny finish. I will also have a set or two of these available for sale as soon as I get around to listing them. 
I’m off to email Madleen.
i really appreciate receiving your beautiful beads … they are even better in person ~ wonderful to the touch and a feast for the eyes. the softness of the color combination is brilliant! especially with the matte finish. thanks for allowing me to choose shiny or matte.
thanks so much,
madleen
