Okay, I admit it. I am an utter and complete loser. Prizes for ‘Thon ’06 did not get mailed. Because – well – I suck. I fully and truly admit that. However! I want to make good on those. Despite moving and misplacing everything I hold dear (damn you boxes!!!) – I have managed to find all of the journals which were won from last year. I amaze myself! So, in no particular order, here is what I remember from last year. (Aided by sticky notes on the journals and by the prize page template in my EE. I <3 EE.)
April cleaned up last year. She won three prizes. She was a font of information! Below are the prizes she won.

(Actually, I admit it. I cannot, for the life of me, find this blue one. However, I have a yellow one which is in the same vein which I will send out instead. Update: I found the blue one! Yay!)
Sarah won this Irish Journal.

Rambler won this journal, which I bought in Costa Rica and is made, partly, from banana leaves. Very cool.
![]()
Kentucky Girl won this durable, fabric-covered black journal. I bought it in Australia. I’m weird. I know.
![]()
Suki won this felt green journal, ever so wittingly labeled ‘Journal’ on the front.
![]()
And that’s what I have for prizes! (= The teddy bear *did* get sent out last year. I did not forget that one. Betty won that.
Anyway – I’ll be trying to contact all of these lovely people to get their addresses to send out their prizes. Yes, I’m a year late, but – I figure – better late than never? (;
If you know where they can be reached – drop me a line and let me know! burningwords at gmail dot com
Edit: I managed to find contact info for everyone but April. Anyone know how I can get in touch with her? O_o
Edit #2: Suki’s and Rambler’s journals were mailed today! Kentucky Girl opted to throw hers back in the kitty for this year. I think Sarah is of the same mind, but I emailed her to be sure and have not yet heard back from her. Still trying to get in touch with April.
damn, you’ve been to australia, and costa rica? world traveler you are!
I’s got my especial prize already, wanna recycle the journal into this years prizes love?
that’s funny. the only prize i DIDN’T send out was the bear. I’ve still got it. lol I wonder if my pal would let me give it away again
bwaa haaa haaa
What perfect timing I have a few ladies where I work, their husbands are deploying and I was trying to think of something to give them. A journal perfect.
