No, we are not perfect. We usually are adequate, so-so, or occasionally superior, but not perfect. If we were perfect we wouldn't have thought up this ridiculous contest about guessing how many polka-dots are on Gibby's tongue.Strategies were discussed. Equipment was stockpiled and photos were attempted. Two days went into the procedure. A half jar of peanut butter was consumed and smeared. Gardening gloves (for gripping ability) were ruined and a exhausted puppy tongue was finally, tallied and recorded for posterity. The number of polka-dots is 34.
We had two correct guesses: Sewprimitive Karen and Joyce from MI
Karen and Joyce - email me here and each of you will receive a Hamptons tote bag filled with a little something.
Since we couldn't be absolutely, positively certain that our counting could stand up in court, (Hey, we did our best) we decided to pick two more winners out of all the entries. The random number generator picked .......Audrey and HollyC
Audrey and Holly, you can email me here also and you each will get a kit to make the flag apron.
I wish we could have had photos for you, but it took both of us to count and the cats won't or can't work the camera.Despite the drama, some other things got done here. Quilt blocks were appliqued, kits were packaged, and another kit was put up on the website.
This is Polly's newest rug kit - the 2nd in a series of three small patriotic rugs. It is packaged in our sand pail and includes everything you need to make this rug.
Well, that's about it. It's been a long couple of days. Two days I will never get back. I will try to remember that next time I have an idea about a contest.

That girl is gonna be running from the peanut butter in the future.
I want to see the You Tube video of the count!
Too funny! I can imagine all the peanut butter and the licking!!! We have a Golden Retriever and I'm sure she would have been more than happy to help out with the peanut butter too! Maybe you should have called.... she would have worked the camera for some of the gouey stuff! So sweet of you to put extra prices in... thanks for letting me try my luck!
LOLROF! I can't imagine how the Gibby loved it!

That's a cat for you. They have so many talents and just won't cooperate. I'm so thrilled to win this funny giveaway!!!
Omigosh, I seriously need one of those totes! I have a great love of ships and boats and the architecture thereof! Oh where, oh where can I get one?
Congratulations to the winners and thanks for the laugh.
