You Gotta Be In It To Win It!

| | Comments (35)

I've gotten a lot of entries for the Guess the Stash contest, but none have been the exact number. Guesses have ranged from the low 100's all the way up to almost 2000!

I'm extending the contest to end of day today so there's still time to enter. Just leave me a comment here and I'll make sure you're in the running.

Also, I've decided to sweeten the pot and do a First, Second, and Third prize -- so you have 3 chances of winning.

Winners to be announced over the weekend!

Hi

My name is Tina and I am from Denmark, maybe to far away.

But anyway I often read your blog, and it is always exciting whats new, so I thought why not.

I guess that you have about 226.

Have a nice weekend.
