It’s been a long, hard road. All of the competitors were amazing every single week. I’m still astounded that we all made it this far…

Ok, ok, I’ve made you wait long enough. The Project Blog winner is…

I can’t say how happy I am to name Winnie as the ultimate blogger in our Project Blog competition. At the same time, major props to Mark, our runner up. Winnie’s prize includes:

• An autographed picture of Jackie Warner, courtesy of Sky Sport and Spa

• A Soffe college hoodie, courtesy of me, BCS Frenzy!
• Gold-plated earrings from Aurora at Between My Sheets
• A pet portrait, courtesy of Intricate Art

And, thanks to your comments, Mark’s walking away with a little something-something as well – I’m going to match your comments for a total second place prize of $15!

Congrats to both! I love you guys!

And the Project Blog Winner Is….

Mark, we found your post captivating – it perfectly fit into your blog topic, but also touched on the prize theme of the week (stress). Most importantly, though, everyone gave you points, and some people even gave you all FIVE of their points. We all though that your post could be easily scanned, and it kept us entertained. Congrats, Get Incensed!

Tomorrow is (dun dun dun) National Signing Day, so I’ll be updating your regularly with announcements. I’ll also be announcing which other blogger – Winnie or Sally – we’ll be “signing on” for the Project Blog finale!

It can be to a reader, to a star in your field, to someone in your life…or to someone else! Draw us in with your post, that’s all I ask. (For examples of “Dear…” posts see my letters to Mike Hart or Bobby Petrino.)
