Meryl's Notes Blog

Whew! What a big, but fun job. I had to make sure I got everyone entered (over 1000 entries!) and followed all the rules. It was a blast to hand out prizes and make people’s day. Winners will receive an email from me.

Thank you to all the guest contributors, prize contributors, all of the participants, and those who spread the word — especially those who did it multiple times. OK, OK, I’ll stop talking and start announcing.
