I Won! I Won!



Several weeks ago I entered a contest sponsored by The Yarn Tart, which asked us to suggest a name for a scarf knitting charity. The scarves are donated to cancer patients at Sister Mary Pia Cancer Center. I thought it was a worthy project , so I entered the first thing that popped into my head: Scarves From the Heart. Since it was some 5:30 in the morning when I read the e-mail announcing the contest, and I hadn't had a milligram of caffeine yet, I wasn't too sure about it, but sent it in anyway. After all, what did I have to lose? I figured that once I'd gotten woke up a bit and fully decaffeinated, I'd think of some better ones and send them in later. I never did think of anything else, and rather quickly forgot about the contest.


This morning I received an e-mail informing me that I'd won! My name had been picked by an impartial panel of office workers--or rather the staff at the cancer center. Out of 130 entries, they liked my name best! Here is what I won:




All that, plus some mystery prizes. It will be going into the mail Tuesday. I can't wait!
