I finally read this thread, there's too many good ideas already for me to come up with anything!!!

But for the Oklahoma Jewel Box, the ornaments and lights on sale right now are giving me bling bling ideas for the teardrop !!! Found a set of lights last night that made me go " OH! Awww!!!" that it would be great for the canopy lights.

Keep up the good work, you elves !!!

Well, after much deliberation, I've made a decision.

The winner of the contest is:
Happiness is just a teardrop away
submitted by TLC
Congratulations!

TLC wins the first ornament and the free cedar sign.


Also during my judging it became apparent that I would need to design a second ornament. So I decided to award a second place prize of a free ornament.

The second place winner of a free ornament is:
I asked for a Teardrop... All I got was this ornament
This one was modified from Alfred's submission, so he wins a free Christmas ornament!


Way to go guy's!
I will be contacting you in a couple of days (once I've got them made) to get your mailing addresses.

Thank you all again for your great entries!

I will post pictures of the ornaments and the paper towel weight when I get them done. If anybody else out there wants them, they will be $10 + free shipping.
Drop me a pm if your interested.
