UGLY ROOSTER WINNER!!!!

Today is the big day to announce the winner of the Ugly Rooster Giveaway. I will be so glad when this whole thing is over with and those rooster's are out of my house. I wrapped them up carefully and brought them home from the lake. Gee, I hope nothing broke...Who in the world would want these things?? Probably someone like me, who stood in the little dime store in South Haven, Michigan, ogling the price of said rooster's, thinking, "Wow! This is only $3.50!! They are practically giving this away!"

But before we get to the winner (Don't you hate when they do this on shows like American Idol and Dancing With The Stars? Make you wait through a commercial before you can get to the good stuff?). I won't be long. It's just that I forgot two things that were up at the Lakehouse that I wanted to include in that Rooster Party waaaaay back when. Above is a recipe I tore out of the newspaper when I first heard of the party and I thought it would be cute to have a signature drink the day of. I took the picture of the recipe but forgot about it. You will probably have to enlarge it. It sounds good, but I don't like vodka. Maybe I will have one just for the heck of it, now that the birds belong to someone else named...

Oops!! And then I was unpacking boxes at the lake that held all my wall art that we put away while we had the renovations going on. I found this beautiful plaque that my sister gave me years back. I love the chicken wire!! It's real! I felt so bad that it didn't make it to the party, so here it is. Gosh, I feel like I am having my own wee little Rooster Party all over again. I am never joining one of these things again. ;-D

Here is Layla, ready to announce the winner (If Debbie can have her cat's run the show, I can have my dogs. Except I think her staff can type. So, c'mon, Layla...

Oh yes, one other thing. I had many responses, both from ladies that wanted the rooster's and ladies that were downright blunt, and did NOT want these ugly rooster's. I consider the latter quite brave, verbose if you will. But who am I to judge? I decided these ladies needed to win a little something for being so smug. I mean brave. I mean honest. They didn't hurt my feelings. In fact, someone is getting a little 'runner up' prize of sorts. And that person would be anyone who blatantly refused to be in the giveaway or wisely said nothing.

So Layla, without further ado...

"What do I get for being cute??"
