My first post, prompted by thinking how many people, maybe a thousand or more, have sent something to the contest, and how few relatively contribute to this blog. There, my feet are wet. Thank you.

It will certainly be interesting to see the results with that many entries. ( Another education!)
Wow, I hope that my e-zine become as successful in the near future.
Wonderful work here.
Seconds on the ham, please!
I second Merrill!
And a great vote of thanks for all the work that went into making it possible. It is a joy to find THF is forming a good foundation.
Nearly 2,000 entries is a great success for the first year of a contest, congratulations on such high participation.
Best of luck everyone!:)
