I won Third Place in the Door Contest

I almost never win anything.  It's a well-known fact.  For many years I gave up entering because I never won.  Then a few years ago, I won two prizes at a friend's baby shower and somehow my prize karma turned for the better.  And now I win every now and then.  Like Cathy Webster's door contest.  It was a guessing game to match pictures of doors to their owners and I miraculously got four answers right out of twenty.  Never mind that I was convinced that I had nearly all of them pegged.  I'll take being tied for third place.  I would've spent even more time researching, however, if I had known that such fantastic prize booty was going to be heading my way.  Check it out …

 

I got this very fun Canada t-shirt that I will be sporting on Canada Day.  First, I just need to find out when Canada Day is celebrated.  And of course the Canadian mittens will keep me warm during our bitter New Jersey winters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I got this mysterious little plastic bottle of liquid.  I figure, knowing Cathy, that it's probably either bubble bath or Jack Daniels.  Either way, I suppose it's good for bathing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again, in typical Cathy style, she had these fabulous mugs created.  You can see the pics match the header on her blog.  You probably can't read the text, it's just as well.  Ha – just kidding.  It says "Pierre Berton once said, 'A Canadian is someone who knows how to make love in a canoe.' Isn't that romantic, Dave?  OK, who farted?" (a little TMI, Cathy )

 

 

 

 

 

 

My daughter has fallen in love with this little keychain.  I guess he is the mascot of the 2010 Olympic games in Vancouver.  I don't think my daughter cares, she just thinks he's cute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since Cathy and Dave just got married recently, they still have piles of extra wedding stuff laying around.  I'm happy to take some of it off their hands – this CD of "mushy music" would've come in handy for our wedding anniversary which was just last month.  Hopefully we can find an opportunity to listen to it before next April.

 

 

 

 

 

And the sweetest bit was this note from Cathy.  It was my pleasure taking part in your contest, Cathy.

Thanks for all the fun loot,

your contest was a hoot!
