And The Winner Is........

First, I want to thank everyone who entered names in our Name That Goat contest. 58 people suggested 105 names and there some great ideas.

Since Dan handles the boys, I let him choose. I read the suggestions to him, and he made a list of the best possibilities. From there he narrowed it down to three, and because all three suited our little guy, we decided to go with a first, second, and third choice. This will give us a chance to try out the names to see which one fits in the long run.

This means I'll give away all three scarves! The first place winner will have first choice of the three colorways. Second place will choose from the remaining two. The third place winner will received the last scarf.

Now, the winners!

First choice name was Billy the Kid, submitted by Karen.
Second choice was Woody, submitted by Woody
Third choice was Bosco, submitted by Ashley.

Karen, I'll contact you first to make your pick of the scarves. Woody, you'll be able to choose from the remaining two. Ashley, the remaining scarf will be yours.

I appreciate everyone who entered. And our little nameless kid appreciates finally being able to have a name! Thank you one and all.

Contest: Name That Goat

I need a name

I've received some wonderful things from fellow bloggers via contests and giveaways, so I thought it was high time I jumped on the band wagon and offered something back to the blogging community. Plus, I need some help!

Remember Surprise's Easter twins? My plan was to sell them, together preferably, or singly if necessary. Well, I still had one left at the time I lost Chipper, which was a blessing in disguise because Gruffy needs a companion. The problem is that neither of us is very imaginative when it comes to naming our animals. In fact this guy is going on 5 months and the best we can do is "Billy Boy" or "Surprise's Kid."

I'd love for you make some suggestions for this little guy, one of which will be picked as his name. Here's what to do to enter the contest; simply leave a comment with a suggestion for a name. You can offer as many as you'd like. The deadline will be Sept. 30th at midnight. A winner will be selected on the first of October and I'll let you know the results after that.

The prize is one of my handwoven log cabin scarves, the winner's choice from one of the following colorways.....

Autumn

Candyland

Desert Night

These are handwoven by me, in easy care acrylic. They are machine washable.

So put your thinking caps on and let the naming commence!
