Rumours of My Death...

"Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated." - Mark Twain

Although my fellow (and much more famous) Canadian, Gordon Lightfoot, could also be created with the quote given his recent non-death experience!
So, what's my excuse for launching a contest and then falling off the fall of the planet for about 3 weeks? Well, I applied for a different job... I never, ever, in a million years, thought that I would be offered the position! I haven't officially started it yet, but I'm doing double duty these days. What with travelling much more frequently than I have in years, blogging (either reading or writing) has fallen way to the bottom of the "to do" list. Keeping my head from exploding from all of the information that I'm trying to cram into it seems to be my priority right now.
I will say that I was not overwhelmed with entries this time, and yes, I do still have to formally compile them, but I believe that based upon the rules, I have 3 contestants. What does this mean? Everyone will be a winner!!! There is a possible 4th, I believe, who may just get a runner up and thanks for participating prize. Since I was away, I even did a little prize shopping for the winners. I need to take photos of this part of the prizes... And then I need to figure out how to replicate them!
So thanks to those of you who participated, and yes, I do still owe you some answers. I think that I have everyone's e-mail address, so over the next couple of days, prize discussions will be entered into. Stay tuned!
