The Winner and A Little Bit of Pixie Dust

Last night there was some magic afoot.
Yesterday had been a very long day.
A few of life's foibles had gotten
in the way of my grand plan for
the drawing giveaway.
I managed to get the names cut-out.
I had everything
ready to go
for the drawing.
I was using my favorite
Peter Pan
tin bank.
I put all of the names inside.
One by one.
I shook the can this way and that way.
I shook it up really well.
Then the phone rang.
I had to run up to the library
and hook the computers back up.
We had new counter-tops put in
and everything was disassembled.
When I came home
I had forgotten to finish the 
giveaway!
My brain can be fuddy-duddy like that.

Little did I know...


That fairies
had intervened.
You see, they were
tired of waiting.
Tired of waiting on me.

I woke up Saturday morning
to this!
One lone piece of paper on the doily
And
NOTHING was in the tin bank!

I turned the piece of paper over
very s-l-o-w-l-y

and

the winner is


CAMERON!
(the fairies are doin' some dancing, NOW!)


Cameron, please email me your address.
Unless you're afraid I might show up unannounced
with broken glass and a soldering iron
toting a large box of band-aids.
I would understand.

Congratulations, Missy Cameron!
