And The Oscar Goes To ....

so i know a few of you are probably thinking  "yeah that's great.  you finally did your stupid taxes.  big whoop.  i got mine done in JANUARY YOU SLACKER AND I'VE ALREADY SPENT MY REFUND!  HOW ABOUT GIVING OUT THOSE PRIZES YOU PROMISED!!!"

well to those of you who are thinking that i say ... BITE ME!   and i'm on it.

thanks to the generosity of several kind people, i was able to award 14 prizes.  i numbered the prizes 1 through 14 and selected the winners using a random number generator so nothing was fixed.

and the winners are:

14.  norma who will be receiving some fabulously designed paper goods from kristen, a talented graphic artist who although doesn't knit (I KNOW! crazyness!), was kind enough to offer up a prize.  thanks kirsten!

so i think that's it. 

i have almost everyone's address so no need to contact me (i'll contact you if i don't have your address) and i'll make sure that the prize givers have your contact information as well.  prizes coming from me should be sent out in the next few days (i'm hoping by saturday as i'd really like to have this project behind me soon.  the squares were sent to elisa 10 days ago).

finally, i want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your generous giving of time and prizes.  i couldn't have done this without you.
