Color me excited! Today's mail brought a big fat ol' envelope from Caron International....I let it sit on the desk, just relishing the thought of what was inside....
When I couldn't stand it any longer, I ripped it open....and now there are a STACK of A.C. Moore Gift cards on my desk.....a stack!! I feel SO rich! It is going to be so much fun just deciding what it is I want to get....and then the even more fun to go and use those gift cards!!
What a genuine thrill this is for me - and I am so grateful to Caron and A.C. Moore for sponsoring the contest, and to all the wonderful people who voted over and over for my afghan - you made it all possible!!! THANK YOU!!
Now....off to start my lists....

WOO HOO!! It's Official!!
Even though I got an email from Caron last week, listing the winners of the baby afghan contest, I was hesitant to say anything, as it was not on their website - but the email DID say I was one of the GRAND PRIZE winners!
This morning I got the confirmation direct from Caron - I did indeed win one of the Grand Prizes!! And what was that? A $300 gift certificate to use at A.C. Moore - PLUS - (an unexpected bonus!) an additional $25 for being a finalist! I am SO pumped!! This is the first time I have ever won anything - and to have it be for something I crafted myself made it extra-special!
It would not have happened at all without the support of all my friends, both here at home, and on the internet. Your votes made it happen! I cannot THANK YOU enough! Every week that the voting showed my afghan had gone on made me so grateful for all those who cared enough to go and vote - week after week! You are all the best!!
Need to thank too - A.C. Moore for putting up the wonderful prizes - which I will truly enjoy spending - and for Caron - whose choice of yarns to use gave me an excuse to try something new, and fall in love with! It is also special to me that the actual afghan went to a baby somewhere that needed to be wrapped up in comfort - thanks to Project Linus.
It is a wonderful day in the neighborhood!!

Short Baby Afghan Contest Update...
Still waiting.....
First, the contest was extended til January 31 - and according to the Caron website, the six semi-finalists would then be chosen - and posted on the "Sponsor's" website - it was not real clear to me if they meant the A.C. Moore website or the Caron website. The voting on the 6 semi-finalists was to commence on February 7, 2009.
And here it is....February 9 - and there is NOTHING posted on either website regarding the semi-finalists of the Project Linus contest. I am truly disappointed with this whole process. There is a lot to be said that if you say something is going to happen on date such-and-such, it really ought to happen. Not to think that my afghan will be among the six lucky semi-finalists - but it would be nice to see who is....and to vote for the one I like the best.
I'll keep checking back - and let you know when (or if?) the afghans ever get posted, and if we can then go vote for a winner. Of course the true winners here are the babies that are now wrapped up in all that wonderful softness ...
