And the Winners Are ...

To be completely fair, I had Scott assist in and monitor this contest! First I cut pieces of paper and wrote everyone who entered down on their own individual sheet:


Then, I folded you all up into equal "folded" pieces of paper:


Don't worry - no one was hurt in this process. Then I put you all into a hat to have a little party:


And then, I had Scott draw the winners:


Congratulations to the winners: Nikki Crumpet, Jill, and Laurie! Please contact me as soon as you can via e-mail with which shelter magazine you'd most like a years subscription to! (And don't forget to add me to your "Blogs I Follow" list!

Now ... for the rest of you. I meant to give this out on my 100th blog post, but it simply couldn't wait until then. I know that this doesn't mean the same as winning a contest, or thumbing through the pages of your very own magazines; but I created this award just for you! No questions, no passing it along, just a token of my gratitude for your continued friendship and support of Color Outside the Lines! So, to all of you who entered: the FIRST Color Outside the Lines Award!

Wear it proudly!

    Well, I am SO excited!!! I hope that I am "Laurie". I feel like I should give an acceptance speach, but I'll spare you that and just run right over to email Artie with my address. Thanks Artie, for sponsoring such a great contest. laurie

    Good Saturday Morning Artie,

    We were without our computer and phone, for the past three days. I found myself staring at the little box that shows if we're getting service. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't will those little lights to go on. I guess my GOOD WITCH powers aren't working these days, just like many other parts of my body. :(
    I love your little award and will display it proudly on my blog.
    Sending good wishes to the winners of the magazines and to you for another generous prize.

    Ciao
    'D'
