Well here it is New Year’s Eve again…didn’t we just have that?? We are getting ready to watch UP and Inkheart with the kids, but I wanted to get the “big 200” winners announced here before the New Year….It was REALLY NOT easy to choose, now I know why people choose randomly. Thank you all for the wonderful descriptions of Bungalow and Cottage….I was realy surprised at some of the responses. The biggest surprise was the tropical image of Bungalow…It makes sense to me now, but I hadn’t even associated it with the beach, sand, and coconuts…...I ended up giving little “titles” to each of the winners for why they stood out to me….
so with very little pomp, and possibly a picture or two later here are the winners in no particular order…
In the Style category, 5. Tabitha O. who wrote on Dec 21, 2009 at 10:01 am… I loved the overall feel of your comment Tabitha, it was very much what I was looking for in style and content…
In the Hollyhock category, 13. Shelley who wrote on Dec. 22, 2009 at 11:20am…Just to show a “long” answer wasn’t necessary…I picked Shelley’s for the mention of Hollyhocks….which you don’t hear much about these days, and we seem to have the dickens of a time growing them without loosing them to aphids…
In the Colors category, 25. Monique who wrote on Dec. 22, 2009 at 7:50 pm….and the color that caught my eye was “ripe wheat”....I mean really….Monique do you work at a paint company naming colors?? Oh, and Monique also used the word “Sticklyesque” which I am not positive is a word, but would be something that I would say…..
In the Hep cats category, 28. Mab who wrote on Dec. 22, 2009 at 11:16pm ….who yes, won simply for the use of the phrase “hep cats” and the word “swingy”....
In the Storytime category, 51. SewLindaAnnon who wrote on Dec. 23, 2009 at 12:23 pm …..I felt like she was telling me a little tidbit about her life at the same time was answering a general question of sorts….
In the Form category, 55. Sherry who wrote on Dec. 23, 2009 at 2:34 pm….Sherry’s entry reminded me of a very long Haiku poem..with beautiful descriptions to boot…..
And last but not least, in the Verbosity category, 61. dolores wrote an incredibly detailed and complete description that still blows me away..
Thank you so much to ALL of you for entering…..Again, I thoroughly enjoyed reading all the thoughts and 200th blog blessings!! Here’s to a great 2010 to come and to all you, my “e-friends” as my family calls you!!
And to finish off the new year, here is a picture I drew on the back of the kids menu with a limited selection of crayons, for Linda when we were on our 20th wedding annivesary trip to the ocean…
Rustic charm at it’s finest, eh?? (yeah, I need to work on the faces piece, huh? but it was with cheap crayons, ok??)
