Happy Holidays, everyone! The ornament decorating contest was a complete success. My thanks to everyone who submitted ornaments, and to those who dropped by and voted, as well. Without those folks, this contest couldn't have happened.

Along with their votes, I got a number of e-mails with one recurring theme -- the ornaments were all so good that it was hard to pick just one. I agree. They were all wonderful, and I'm glad that I  wasn't the one who had to choose. But the voters have spoken, and here are their choices!

In first place, with 57%  of the vote was this clever ornament from Gale Szajna of Phoebe's Purse. Congratulations, Gail! Look for your prize in your e-mail.

The first runner up is Betty, also known as Sillymom for this delightful ornament straight our of 'Babes in Toyland'.

For third place, there was a tie between these two ornaments by Deborah of Donka's Den and Silkey Kay of Silkey Kay's World on the Web. Congratulations to these ladies as well!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each and every one of you!
