We won!

A few weeks back, I entered a sculpture contest at The Scrap Box with Dawn and Justin.  Specifically, if you're in the mood to reminisce, it was on Day 66.  Until about two weeks ago, there was open online and in-person voting for the sculptures to see which ones would be on display at Whole Foods on Washtenaw as a celebration of Earth Day and local artistry.

Well, I'm super-pumped to report that our sculpture, which you may recall was a darn masterpiece, won a prize and will be displayed at Whole Foods until the beginning of May.  So, you can go marvel at it, jaws agape, minds rocked, in person, at Whole Foods.

I LOVE RIBBONS SO MUCH.

We won the "Made Us Laugh" prize in the adult category.  I'm about 99% sure that was all Dawn and her hilarious antennae.  Justin and I did the cut-and-paste grunt work.  Dawn was totally the brains of the operation.  And you can't prove me wrong - its out there on the internet now, so it must be true.

In any case, I'm keeping the trophy.

Each of us got an adorable beanie baby (remember those?) owl and a $5 gift certificate.  You may be able to spot my owl (get it?  spotted owls, spot my owl.  ahh, you don't get it) as it is currently attached to the top of the trophy I'm keeping.  

More importantly, the contest was great fun, regardless of how we did.  For anyone living in the Ann Arbor area next year, I'd recommend keeping an eye on The Scrap Box for the next time it rolls around.  It was a fun challenge.
