Who’s the Big Winner?!
May 17, 2008
First off, I would like to thank everybody who left a comment on their favorite sea creature. Reading the responses made me realize that it isn’t easy to pick a favorite! All creatures of the sea are equally amazing, fascinating, and worth celebrating. When World Ocean Day rolls around on June 8th, let’s remember to honor sea horses, starfish, manatees, jelly fish, coral, turtles, and all those in between! By the way, my favorite creature of the sea is the whale. I had the opportunity to see whales migrating in the Pacific Ocean several years back, and it was absolutely incredible. There is a great book (a bit crazy and very funny) called “Fluke” written by Christopher Moore. I recommend reading it, as long as you aren’t offended by weird humor…
And now, the winner(s)…I decided to choose two people to receive cookies because presents in the mail are a lot of fun! I wrote each person’s name on a piece of paper and put them in a bowl. I randomly pulled out two names…
1. Jamie, who picked the starfish (one of my favorites too!)
2. Rural Vegan, who picked sea otters (I love their whiskers!)
Hooray for the winners! All you two need to do is e-mail me with your address, and you should expect a package of homemade vegan cookies really soon! Be excited!
Thanks again to everybody for participating. Until next time…

YAY! Go me!
Does it make me a giant dork that I am giddy about getting homemade vegan cookies in the mail?
Thank you!!!

Rural Vegan- No way, you are not a big dork! I get excited when I get any mail at all!

Congrats to the winners :o).
And the pretty sea pictures make me wish I were by the sea right this very minute, instead of stuck inside.

Hmm Free cookies! I sure will participate next time! But I’m probably a bit too far away though to receive perishables.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I’ll add you to my list.

Gosh, I am so relieved to know that I was not the only one who bit my sibling. I was worried when I wrote it that people would think I was a monster (and my sister was quite happy to hear that she wasn’t the only bite victim!).

Hey there,
Thank you so much for your kind words on my blog! I really like yours as well, and I added it to my google reader so I don’t miss any posts
Great pictures of the ocean and sea life! I really really love the ocean….I couldn’t imagine not living near to the water.
Looking forward to reading more of your blog!

How fun! I have to admit, sea lions are really cute, but it’s difficult to pick one favorite marine creature!
