Faster than a speeding bullet

Today has been a really great day–and largely because of you.

Truly.

Blog Wars is officially over.

Well–the competition part of it is officially over.

[Eyebrow lift, eyebrow lift combined with a knowing smile.]

The receiving of delightful prizes is not.

I’m super impressed by how quickly the sponsors are taking care of the prizes.

I received notification from Tiny Prints yesterday–and–today? Oh, today–this was on my porch.

Which is all kinds of exciting in and of itself…

[And yes, the address has been hidden just in case any of you felt like you wanted to put some kind of wild animal in a package and send it to me. I can’t have those kinds of shenanigans going on around here.]

…but just look at what was inside.

Clapping, singing, skipping, dancing, frolic, merriment, giggle.

[That’s not what was inside of the box–that’s what I did because of what was inside of the box.]

Here’s why I’m thanking you–my blogging cohorts–it’s the 2nd Place prize package. Your generosity in voting brought me to this.

ThAnK YoU.

Oh–uhm–after reflecting for all of two seconds about what I could have done differently to affect the outcome of the competition–here’s what I came up with–I should have made something like this for the final round.

[Can you just picture pieces of that fabulous paper mod-podged onto different parts of the motorcycle? Hmm? I know exactly where the buttons could have gone.]

I definitely think it would have made a 10-vote difference. I’m not exactly sure if ten more people would have decided to vote for someone else or not–but it would have made a difference.

~grin~

The day isn’t even over and look how great we feel.

Boom.
