Mystery Photo Revealed

Sheesh..was that an easy one or what? Almost all of you guessed correctly! (My personal favorite was MzzTerry’s guess of “bologna”. Megan, I’m going to have to do something really sneaky next week to stump you – you guessed pocketknife, which was on the right track, but this weeks’s winner is going to have to be Penguins and Ladybugs for correctly identifying that it was a Swiss Army knife. Congratulations! Like Megan, you win my hearty congratulations and some link love from me! Here’s the comparison photo:

April’s Organization Giveaway Winner

simply a musing blog contest winner

Obviously, this means nothing to anyone until I explain it. If you go back to the original post, you’ll see there are only 140 entries (one of which is a duplicate, which I didn’t count)…so how the heck did I come up with #181 as the winner? Well, everyone who posted or linked to my blog about the contest got 5 extra entries…and I went through personally and checked every single blog where someone had said they linked and there were eleven. (backlinks doesn’t show that many, but there really are!) I added those ladies on at the end in multiples of five in the order they commented and commenter # 181 would go to…(drumroll please)

Congratulations to Ginny from Daily Thoughts! I will need your snail mail address so I can get these out to you!

Thanks to everyone for participating – here’s a little link love for those who linked back to me for the contest:

~Elaine from Home But Not Alone
~Mssterrzy
~Jeanette from Always Been Different
~Elaine from The Miss Elaine-ous Life
~Misty from Rainy Days in May
~J from Musings from Left Field
~Angela & Connor
~Tammy from Three Different Directions
~Elliemae from Elliemaes Days
~Tami at Desires of Thine Heart

Sorry this is a little late, but for those of you who don’t normally read here, life has been a little bit…hectic lately. 🙂 We’re on the upswing, though and I’m sure it’s going to get a lot worse better soon!

May’s giveaway will be coming up next week – so stay tuned, get me in your reader, or just pop in once in a while – but it’s going to be a good one, I promise you!
