I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Terry for doing such a wonderful job with this unique contest. You should know how much joy you bring to all of us adults and children. Thank you so much for putting your talent and energy into this beautiful experience. You are one of the best Curators that I ever met, very smart, easy going, great at dealing with people and softies and with a young big heart!

congratulations to all the winners.....this was fun

I generally don't post who came in 2nd etc. Personally, I think every one of the Top 5 Finalists are winners and I don't want anyone to feel badly if they find out they didn't come in 1st OR 2nd. And some people feel worse if they know they just missed 1st place.

[Stacey]

Congrats to all you holiday softie people! You are all such inspirations...enjoy your moment in the spotlight. (I know you'll have many more to come!)

[Chelsea]

Yeah, I'd like to see who got second place, too!
