Time for the Winners to be Grinners....

Drum Roll please 

it is time to draw the 300 followers give away

so many entries were received we had to abandon the tea cup

and instead resorted to the fruit bowl... sans fruit of course

So question was how to draw it

Phantom was full of ridiculous fantastic suggestions

some of which involved complicated algorithms, 

and one half listened to suggestion in which the only words I caught 

were air compressor and catchers mitt ...

so Phantom was duly ignored, the entries were dumped into the fruit bowl

which led to how do we get them out in a fun way

air compressors were again mentioned

and dismissed

and then Mushu wanted up on the table to see what we were discussing

and the brilliant solution emerged ...

Mushu looked suitably worried at our dastardly grins but all was forgotten when Phantom

stuck a bit of dog treat in the bowl

that snout dove in there at warp speed

and he happily pushed out two names trying to get at that little morsel of wonderful

Congratulations to Tammie Lee for winning the Bowls painting...

To Nordljus for winning the paint tubes ...

Thanks to another treat buried by my assistant

Cindy Adkins has won the ornamental cabbages ...

and Sandra Busby gets the Pears

though you will note that the papers were getting a touch gross

due to an unexpected amount of dog saliva

which made unfolding them quite the gruesome task....

Because there were so many entries 

and because I was so thrilled and humbled by the response

I decided to also give away three A4 fine art prints of my header

and so one more bit of treat

and Mushu happily pushed out three names...

 so the following three poeple have all won a the prints

congrats to 

Netty

Missy K

Katie R

I would like to thank you all for entering

I would like to thank Phantom for her useless wonderful suggestions

and Mushu for being an adorable little snuffling drawing machine

though this led to a diva moment

and he then spent the next five minutes continuing to gaze at me hopeful for more snacks

tough luck buddy you made me get dog saliva fingers

still grossing out over that ...

I will be in contact with you all to get your details so I can get these off to you

or if you read this then email me at tki46582@bigpond.net.au

Thanks again to everyone for entering and being part of the fun... xx

Phantom has just read this and demanded a retraction...

there was no catchers mitt mentioned

rather it was a cone around the dog's head

I would like to apologise to Phantom for any distress this may have caused

not ...xx
