And the winner is.......

If I was ridiculously wealthy, I'd give each of you a prize.

I really appreciate your comments,

sweet words

and the fantastic people you are.

The one winner, chosen randomly, from among the best of the best...........


IS.....

I can't just say the name. So, play the video if you've got two minutes to spare.




Congratulations!!!
I could get used to giveaways, they're a lot of fun!
After reviewing this video, I am now, more than ever, convinced that we are out of our minds. The kids had a blast coming up with this creative announcement, and after all, that's the most important thing.
You want to see what made me smile today?
We did a little makeover on our coat hooks. We replaced these:



With these :)

They even got wet today, Yeh!!

That was hilarious. I love had you took it and ran with it. Congrats to Catherine too. She deserves this because I know she is working on being prepared. I think anyways.

I love when the neighbors dog let out a yelp at the reciting of the winner. I knew who's dog it was right away.

Great prize, great fun and very creative. And great walk and talk last night.

So cute and creative. Your kids are naturals in the acting department. I think they all deserve an Emmy or Oscar...whatever the actors get.

That was great!! I love doing blog giveaways, and without a doubt, my favorite part is announcing the winner in a video!

Now I guess I'll go buy my own first aid kit...

Hey Debsters, my '80s music contest was right here. it's already closed, but if you were to perform spectacularly, there may be a late-arrival-prize... :)

Great job with the video! So creative. Your family seems to have so much fun. I want to be you when I grow up :) Looks like summer at your house!

I like it when Britton takes the tissue and wipes his nose with it then runs off. Cute way to announce the winner! What kind of video camera do you have? We are looking at getting one.

That was such a cute way to anounce the winner. Congratulations Catherine!
I didn't get the coat hooks at first (I know, how thick can I be) Then I realized what they were holding in each picture. Now that's a makeover I can heartily support!

Sara said...

I loved the very creative video thanks for the show.

Catherine said...

I just got the news that I am a winner!!! Kenly and Mattie showed up at my door with the kit and some freshly made cookies!!

So after they left, I rushed back to the computer and watched the video. It was a funny funny video!
I feel so special. I told them I never win anything! Like Jan said, I'm working on being prepared, so it was meant to be. YEAHHHH! Thanks so much!

That was so cute! I'm with Sara though, my favorite part was the impromtu blowing of the nose by Britton. It made me laugh even more.
Looks like you guys are off to a great start for summer. Jera
