07.01.2004 :: I'm bold again!
Last night, at approximately 7pm, while I was making popcorn , slathered with butter and salt, the motherlode contest came to a screeching halt! With Fig the cat presiding over the event as security, Miss Bethany reached her hand into the official New Balance Sneaker box/entry bin and pulled one slip of folded paper from the 95, handing it off to me. I calmly read the name, showed it to the judge, Fig the cat, so that there will be no accusations of impropriety later on.
With the salty, buttery popcorn in hand, I moseyed on over to the computer, where I emailed the winner, leaving behind some evidence on the keyboard. Fig, the judge gave me some dirty looks on that one. What kind of contest is this, anyway?
"She got butter on the keyboard! Oh, the humanity!"
Without futher ado....
The winner is.......(Please, drum roll on your computer desk for at least 2 seconds to heighten the suspense.....
Susan Hallock! She hails from New Mexico, USA and that is all I know about her! Congrats, Susan, you won the motherlode!
The astute blog reader will notice that I got my boldness back! I can emphasize! I can call attention!
And I can link!
Have yourself a bold day! And link often!

Sandy, we know that you have to claim it was random, but we all know I was the favorite and will be expecting my prize in the mail as the hands down favorite entry, yes?

Ugh! I'm with them -- it drives me nuts when I have to look at my knitblog haunts through greasy prints. Then again, i'm kind of anal-retentive about such things, and not afraid to admit that. :)
Even though I totally didn't win, I'm heading to the LYS today to look for some of that LL yarn. Thanks for adding a new yarn obsession to the growing list. :)

Oh rats, I thought I had to KNOW you to enter the contest! Okay, live and learn, I'll keep a sharp eye out for the next contest >. And BTW, I'm with Mary Beth, don't touch the screen (kinda like Monk on TV, someone touches the screen and I'm there with a monitor wipe). I do enjoy your blog, Sandy :)

Yippeee!... What an exciting way to start my day! I am a brand new reader of your blog, Sandy. I look forward to reading more about your knitting adventures. Thank you so much for sponsoring the contest. Can't wait to start my socks with the Mother Lode. I have never knitted with Lorna's Laces so I am doubly thank full. Thanks again. Susan

Lucky Susan! I was hoping to crumple my entry up a bit so Bethany would select my name. ;)

Congrats to Susan! And Sandy, just don't touch the screen. Nothing drives me nuts more than when people touch the screen! You're BOLD alright, and Sass-ay too!
