what fun!

why didn't you tell me that a give-away would be such fun? i wanted to extend the deadline, to give more one & onlies a chance at winning, but the suspense of just a few days was too much for this instant-gratification girl.

thehobbit wanted to do the drawing this morning, but we had a beach clean-up with r&s. after we arrived home:

k: pick your favorite number between 1 & 8.

th: none of those are my favorite numbers.

k: that's ok. just pick one that you like - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, or 8.

th: i don't want to. i'm crocheting.

k: i thought you wanted to help with the drawing.

th: no. i'm crocheting.

k: you can do both. *silence* may i borrow your top hat then?

th: sure. i can't get it for you though, cuz i'm -

k: yes i know, you're crocheting.


i assigned you numbers, wrote them on dinky pieces of paper, & tossed them all into the fancy top hat. i was about to reach in, when thehobbit ran across the room:

th: waaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! wait for meeeeeeeee!

k: i thought you were crocheting.

th: i'm done.

k: *sigh*

the winner of the first ever official kats in the belfry give-away is... wait for it....
