The results are in…drum roll please…
What? I didn’t win? How can this be? Oh well, I had a great time with this contest. Thanks everyone who took the time to vote for me. I really appreciate it. Alas, all was not a total loss…My sweet hubby won a raffle prize..the free form quartz flame (which I have already stolen for my office! hehe!)
