First, thanks to everyone who entered.  Hope you had fun.  I sure did .  There were some really good, close guesses!

Without further ado, the winner of the Mid-winter Doldrums Contest is ms. sellainy with a guess of 99, which is exactly the number of pieces in the candy jar!  ms. sellainy, please message me your address and I'll send your jewelry jar right away.  Thanks again, everyone!  Here's a little something for the after party!

Still waiting for ms. sellainy to check in.  (Car 54 where are you ?)  I PM'd her and hopefully she'll see my message.  Ms. sellainy - come on down!

LOL Maybe she`s in the ladies room!     Like the gal on Price is Right..that`s where she was when they called her down

[dream*peddler]

Would someone please get ms. sellainy out of the ladies room?  Haha!

[ms.sellainy]

Hello everybody! I'm here, I'm here. Everything's fine. I won't bore you with details that explain my absence. Suffice it to say, I'm under the weather and spending too much time in the loo. 1940fc and dream*peddler, you are uncanny! 

I first read that I won the contest on Sunday. I was so surprised, I had to read it three times for it to sink in. I did not expect to win. Since then, I've been beaming like the Cheshire Cat. I can't help it. I feel so elated, like I just won an Oscar!!!

I would like to thank thekozz7, rainbowtree117, retro-charm, 1940fc, flipping-treasures, theshoppingmom, mforjan, nrej, meadowedge16, southernmermaid8, christinesclassicjewelry, and evelyb30  for writing to congratulate me! Hope I left no one out. You are a great team to be on.

Special thanks to everyone who guessed ahead of me. Your guesses helped me arrive at #99. 

Before I leave the podium, i'm sending the biggest "thank you" to dream*peddler. You are a real sweetheart for creating the contest and for offering such an attractive prize!

Cool beans!!

[1940fc]

Awww..sorry you`ve been under the weather,  ms.sellainy ..maybe these will help

[dream*peddler]

So glad to hear from you, ms. sellainy!  I was beginning to get a little worried .  I hope the worst is over and you go uphill from here!  Sarah, those earrings are hysterical!  I guess now ms. sellany knows how that poor woman from The Price is Right felt.  LOL!  Anyway, I'm glad you won and hope the jar of goodies has some healing properties for you!

[ms.sellainy]

I appreciate your concern, dream, thank you. Yes, I think I know how she felt, but bet she was dressed a lot better. LOL. I'm looking forward to the jar of goodies! 

Sarah, those earrings are indeed hysterical.  At first glance, i said to myself, Wow, what cute chandeliers! I had to stare at them a minute before I realized what they were then spent the next minute laughing. LOL. Guess there's not a figural someone hasn't thought of. 

[flipping_treasures]

I hope you get to feeling better very soon so you can truly enjoy the win and the jewelry when it arrives.

OMG Sarah!  ROTFLMAO!

[ms.sellainy]

Thank you Sandy. Winning the contest was a good antidote and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. I believe the prize is at the post office now, plan to pick it up on Tuesday. I'm so looking forward to it, like icing on top of a yummy cake. It was the contest that keeps on giving. Thank you, dream*peddler. You're the REAL winner!

ms. sellainy , 

Be sure to pull all those goodies outta that jar and share a photo with us so we can all live vicariously through you !

Now I'm beginning to worry I've over-hyped the jar.  I mean, it's OK stuff but it's not the Crown Jewels.  Haha!
