Halloween Giveaway Result! Avez-vous gagné ?

We've finally found time to do the draw for our recent Halloween give-away!

Nous avons - il était temps! - effectué le tirage au sort du "donne-loin" d'Halloween, mettant fin à cet insupportable attente qui rongeait le moral des collectionneurs de miniatures, anxieux et désespérés  blah, blah, blah ....(si si, on commençait à avoir des réclamations!!)

Here's how we did it - as you will see, each stage was watched over by an independent adjudicator to ensure that there was no funny business.  He also happens to be a papier mâché pumpkin head in his spare time...

Afin de limiter les risques d'embrouille, nous avons fait appel à un huissier indépendant (de sa volonté...) dans la gueule duquel nous avons fourrés les noms des participants, préalablement imprimés, puis découpés, et bien mélangés... 

The name of every entrant was printed onto A4 paper...

The names were all cut out.

They were then stuffed into the mouth of our pumpkin-headed friend.

Having warned Mr Pumpkin Head not to bite - Emma bravely entered her hand into his mouth.

And pulled out a piece of paper so quickly that we barely caught the name - she does claim that her speed was due to excitement and not fear of losing her fingers.

Et j'ai mis la main dedans, j'en frissonne encore!

So here is the name a little more clearly....

Congratulations - "Athena"!!!  

Youhou, Athena, félicitations, vous avez gagné!

Thanks to everyone for entering the give-away.  We really enjoyed reading all of your wonderful comments!
