Ok, the contest is officially closed and I have drawn the names. 

I am verifying these with CalendarGirl and will announce the winners A.S.A.P.

I haven't gotten a peak into the package yet, why should you?  ;)
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.

All right folks, the results are in and the winners have been chosen.  The results were verified by the fine staff of Primitive Archer Magazine, who shall remain anonymous, but we all know as Calendargirl.   >:D  (Thanks Marie for taking on this task along with all the other stuff you are doing.)

The winners are, in no particular odor, I mean order:

Thank you everyone for helping me celebrate my 2,000th post on here.  I enjoy the company of you all, even those with whom I have disagreed.  I have learned a great deal from all that post in here and get a great deal of encouragement to continue scraping bows.  I look forward to my 3,000th post and I'll have to think of something else to give away to celebrate!

It really wasn't my support of PA Magazine that prompted this, but I was thinking of something I could give away that any recipient would appreciate.  I thought about one of my bows, but everyone here makes bows.  I thought about my homemade wine and realized there was a pile o' legalities I'd rather avoid.  All in all, I just thought the subscription would be a nice little kicker. 

Thanks everyone for being so supportive, thanks to all who purchased subscriptions, too.  I used to be one of those that always bought my copy from the local drugstore because 1)they were local 2)it encourages them to stock PA so other people might see it.  But then I found out that magazines at best recover only their costs through magazine stands, quite a few don't even break even on them!  It's the subscriptions and the advertising that pays their bills and keeps 'em open to get the next issue out the door.
