We Have a Winner!

First of all - some of you are Google cheaters!! Oh okay, I would have done exactly the same thing. But too, too funny that so many of you Googled the store name. You are smart cookies!

Most of you were right, Handy Man and I were in Galena, IL. That big body of water there is none other than the Mighty Mississippi River. The Texas shirt was an attempt to throw you off. I got that sweet little t-shirt when I went to Texas to visit Jennefer from Smooth Stones Academy. Did it throw you off?

And what is with the horse? I have no idea! I thought it was hilarious though. I thought that might be the biggest hint. I mean, how many places decorate with a horse? Would someone who knows something about the horse email me or leave me a comment? I'd love to know the story. I think it's hilarious. The horse by the way, isn't alive.

For those of you who wanted to know more, Galena is a great grown-up get away. It is a quaint river town, big on history and lined with cute shops. It is a great place to be a small business, as the town prides itself on mom and pop shops and original handicrafts and hand-made items. We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast and had 24 hours to ourselves. It was fantastic!

So, I plugged in all the entries to random.org and here is the screen shot.



So counting Kathy (the deleted one) as number 1 and removing Christa (it is HER contest!) and me that makes #5 Amy from Allen Academy. Congrats Amy! You are now the proud owner of those gorgeous pink and chocolate beads! I'll try not to be envious.

If you didn't win, you can still get a piece of Christa's Collection anyway - she is currently running a FREE SHIPPING promotion at her Etsy Shop.

Thanks for playing! I'll be having another contest - this time for homeschoolers - next week!
