Two years ago I held the silliest, most ridiculous contest ever.
Basically I took this old wreath decoration that was constructed from Starlite mints and hid it in various pictures that I took and posted on my blog throughout the month of November. I had a little point system set up, and it was a race to see who could e-mail me first with the locations. I also had little mini contests for extra points including a poetry contest and a number guess (as in how many mints were on my ugly wreath). It was a lot of fun…at least for me. If you’re really, really bored you can visit my old blog here and surf through my Novemeber 2007 entries (go to Archives on my sidebar) to see what I’m talking about.
Well, at one point during my contest a fellow blogging friend, Arby, insulted my poor wreath in the very worst of ways. He called it hideous. So when the contest ended, I had no other choice than to pack up the wreath and mail it to him. I thought he might get a laugh out of it and then toss it out.
But no. Now he is hosting another Where’s the Wreath contest this year on his blog. The rules are similar to my original one, but you need to go visit Arby here and get the whole low down.
You should participate. It will be a real hoot! You should at least go look at the wreath make-over Arby and his wife, The Boss, executed after their son ate many of the mints (despite a warning from me NOT to eat the ancient candy). I, for one, can’t wait to see where he placed the new and improved wreath for his photos!
Just be careful…..or YOU might end up with the wreath for next year’s contest!
Oh, my! It’s back! I’m laughing that Arby decided to host his own contest! You go, Arby!
I have very fond memories of that contest.
Great Post! Thank you. Teachingmisssmartypants – come make new memories! Debbie, blow off the dust from your blog and join in the fun!
Arby´s last blog .."Where’s the Wreath?" Prizes
I couldn’t believe Arby is hosting the wreath this year. I asked if we were supposed to be passing it around and hosting a contest of our own.
Have a great day!

Has it really been that long? Wow! I remember it all. That’s sad, isn’t it?

I had forgotten that Arby did not actually win the wreath.

I was actually glad to read it’s not you hosting the contest. I don’t know if I could handle the stress again. I was useless for days on end as I’d just refresh your blog site.
Though it was fun, I shall not miss it!
