Sleigh bells ring are you listening,
In the lane snow is glistening,
A beautiful sight oh we're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Whoops! I Screwed Up The Facecrack Check Guessing Contest!

So, yesterday I announced the winner of our facecrack check guessing contest. Here’s the entry from Carrie Budyn which I thought came closest to the amount of the check, which was, $36.95:

But then yesterday I received this comment from Charlotte Gross Thornton:

So I went back and looked through the guesses and found this:

Whoops-a-doozy! Somehow I didn’t see that entry when I was looking for the winner. Maybe next time I shouldn’t be drinking while trying to tally the results. Well, I’ve decided that in light of this mistake, both of them are winners and we’ll all have lunch together and they’ll both get a fifty dollar gift certificate from Urban Artifacts! So there! We’ll coordinate a lunch for all of us and that will be posted after the holiday season, so stay tuned for the MBIP Double Contest Winners Lunch! Sorry about the confusion, but welcome to my world!
