I believe I might’ve told y’all that a contest was going on.
This Eclectic Life’s This Blog Blows My Dress Up Contest has officially been judged. I am so grateful that someone else had to make the decisions! Every post that came in gave me a laugh that I sorely needed. There were many wonderful submissions from 28 different blogs, and I would never have been able to choose. During the process of this contest, I’ve discovered blogs that were “new” to me that I enjoy immensely. I hope some of you have found new sites to visit as well.
When I printed off the entries and handed them to the judge, her eyes got as big around as breakfast sausages. I don’t think she quite understood what I had asked her to do until that moment. She asked, “Can I pick more than three?” Unfortunately, the answer was, “no.” She had a devil of a time choosing, and I appreciate her hard work.
I want to thank again all those who entered; all of you are winners, in my book (well, I don’t have a book, but if I ever do—you know what I mean). I hope everyone will take the time to visit the sites of all the contestants and read what they have to say.
The winner of the contest gets a choice of a $20 gift certificate to Starbucks OR to that big corporate place you can buy books. Second Place gets a $10 gift certificate. Third place gets a $5.00 certificate(which might buy a cup of coffee or half a book). if they choose to do so, the winners may post buttons on their website linking back to the page showing all entries.

My favorite one hands down has got to be the Ass, the Bitch and the Refrigerator…you go girl…you do have boobs! I loved that TT.
Great contest, great winners!
That was one I thought was a winner, too. It blew my dress up. It was pretty hard for me to keep my mouth shut and let the judge decide!~skt
Congratulations to all winners ! Buy yourself something nice and think about the next funny stories ! I will keep up too !
I’m looking forward to more funny stories from you! ~skt
A mighty big YAWP!!
Thank you so much. I feel very honoured. There were many hilarious entries – so, you are right, everyone is a winner! But, sadly, there has to be a first, second and third…
YIPPEE!
“Yawp?” Is that Scottish for “Yeehaw?” You did a good job…you deserve to Yawp. But, then you have to sit back and pretend to be modest

Thank you! I’m so honored.
You are so welcome…thank YOU for entering and entertaining us!~skt

Sweetie, cheer up. It will get better. You had a lovely post today.~skt

GREAT CHOICES!!!! Bloody Mayhem at Spaghetti Junction had me in stitches when I read it the first time. It was even better with a re-read. (is that a word?)….anyway, this was a great contest and thanks for introducing me to all these fabulous bloggers. I don’t think I would have found them otherwise!!!!!!!!
What’s the next contest????? I want to play!!!!!!! Oh, and I wrote my post about your recent tag!

I SAW your post and it’s funny, funny, FUNNY! I’ll have the contest again in a month or two. I think I am going to ask some bloggers to judge it next time, and I need to re-work how it’s done. It’s a learning process…~skt
Awwww man! I never win nothing, which mathematically means I always win something! Woo Hoo go me!
Oh, you won my heart—doesn’t that count for anything?? Don’t answer.~skt
Looked like this was lots of fun and a great group to choose from. I’ll check out the winners. Have a great day
They were all good, CP. I know my judge doesn’t want the task again…she felt guilty not being able to choose everyone. ~skt
Hey, I didn’t win!! Bummer, man.
Good choices. Fun contest. Thanks for putting it together.
I’m so sorry. If I had bucks, I’d send Amazon certificates to you all.~skt
*CONGRATULATIONS!* to all the winners! WOOHOOO! (((((HUGS))))) sandi
