Voting has now ended and the tallies are in...  * * * Congratulations to Weeshan who won for her Sincere entry: "I am a Newbie here at RTH and I am the most sincere and deserving member to win that box of gorgeous Mozarkite because in October I will be making jewelry for a CASA fundraiser in my community. CASA helps children in foster care that do not have parents or family find PERMANENT loving homes. See www.nationalcasa.org/ The jewelry sold from the Mozarkite would help raise money so that this program can continue." * * * Tonyterner takes the prize for the most Hilarious entry with the following explanation: “I am a newbie here at RTH and I am the most hilarious and deserving member to win that box of gorgeous Mozarkite because I have the saddest story. I have three little tumblers at home to feed but the only rocks in my area worth feeding to them are driveway stone. My driveway is almost gone and my tumblers have a big appetite. Please help me feed my poor starving tumblers.* * * Okay Shannon and Tony, please send a PM to BuiltonRock with your addy so he can send out those two boxes of gorgeous Mozarkite you've just won!  Special thanks to all who voted in this BEST EVER Contest!  And Congratulations to each the of the other Newbies [who took the time to write an explanation as to why they deserved a box of that gorgeous Mozarkite. In truth, you are all Winners because you are a big part of RTH!  Lady B and BuiltonRock |

Thank you so much Lady B and BuiltonRock. for hosting this contest and providing the beautiful Mozarkite.
As mentioned in my contest entry......I will be using this material for a CASA fundraiser. A good friend of mine has asked if I would provide some jewelry items to help. Most involved with the program are volunteers so these fundraisers are very important. My friend Tina has helped children in the foster care system in our community find permanent homes. Many would have even been separated from their siblings had it not been for the help of the CASA volunteers. I consider it a worthwhile organization and want to help. I have until October to make some items out of this Mozarkite. I have various plans for it including tumbling, cabbing, and wire wrapping.
I will post photos in the fall of all of the fundraiser items.
Thanks again both of you for providing the BEST EVER contest!!!
Shannon

Congrats Shannon and Tony! Shannon (nice name!) sounds like you've hooked up with a very worthwhile group - cool to see some rocks doing some good out there in the world! Other than the good they do the souls of this board of course! And Tony - hope your driveway will survive until your box arrives! I will say I'm a little jealous - but luckily I hadn't quit my job based on the strength of my entry to this contest. Congrats to you both! Can't wait to see what you do with your wins! Pictures, pictures! ;D (you too Curt! ;D) Thanks for the contest BuiltonRock and LadyB! |

I thank you, my tumblers thank you, and most importantly my car thanks you. No longer will it fear sinking into the mud that was formerly its evening resting place. Thanks also to LBB and BOR for throwing such a fun contest with a great prize. Once my tumblers regurgitate the prize I will post pics (after washing of course).
