It's the New Year. Time to celebrate with another giveaway picnic! It's been a while since the last one so this collection is extra special. There's some fabulous richly pigmented Loew Cornell paints, Blackwing drawing pencils and Rifle Paper Company's beautifully designed writing pencils, as well as, of course, an assortment of various English goodies—even mince pies and with velvety, small batch Fort Collins' Nuance Chocolate thrown in to ring in the year! :) But, what, pretell, is in that Harrods bag?! Maybe the winner will show us later? ;) But, yes, it's just come all the way from there so you know it's got to be good.
Before we get to who the winner is though, let me start by reminding you that each person who participated was given an entry per time signed up, all the way back to July from when we last did this. (Most of you had quite a few entries but even our newest member, Laurie, was entered for joining us this last go around.) All in all, there were 249 entries (not including Alexandra) with Tie it Up having the most sign ups. Curious. That would have seemed the hardest to envision, so says to me you aren't afraid of more abstract concepts, right? Hmmm... hehe, methinks I need to keep challenging! :) Conversely, the themes that were the most apparent, Spinning Tops and Toy had the fewest participants! Fascinating. What does that say? Was it a mere product of timing or maybe some themes appeal to you more than others? I'd love to hear your thoughts here and any ideas you have for future prompts. Thank you.
So, without much ado, let's see how I put this together. Are you excited yet? If you haven't won, just remember your chances are waaay better here than any Powerball Lottery and it doesn't cost you a thing! Well, other than a few spent creative brain cells and a good ol' right brain workout which we probably all need anyway. :) OK, thanks for playing along. The new prompts are up btw (see sidebar). See you next week.... Oh! And the winner* is....
*If you haven't already contacted me in the past, simply fill out your contact details here and when my personal assistant (umm....that is, Alexandra!) is over her bronchitis, this will be mailed to you el pronto. Enjoy! :)
