Once again, thanks to everyone for entering or supporting stylealchemy’s 1st contest: Fall Into Fall!!!

Cue: marching band and whistles

Okay, no more suspense, time to reveal the winner::
drum roll please

Mel from The Thrifting Vignettist
who lamented that because of where she lived, Fall is usually a two-week event that fluctuates from 80 to 20 degree weather (Fahrenheit) and doesn’t last and she was excited about her very limited Fall season. She then proceeded to stun and delight me with this awesome limerick:

Fall is a two-week teaser
A fickle and short-term pleaser
After blistering heat
Before snow and sleet
Fall is the Brutus to my Caesar

Um, yea, I know pretty awesome.

So Mel, you are now the proud owner of a $50 Urban Outfitters card. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
P.S. I also sent you a confirmation email.

Thanks to everyone for entering, be on the lookout for more contests!!

Happy First day of Fall!!
This morning I got up and I needed a scarf and a blazer to walk the dog and to honor this shift in weather, I am pleased to announce stylealchemy’s first contest.

This is a simple contest:

What I want to know is what are you excited about for the Fall?

That’s it, from clothes to falling leaves, what’s got your toes curling in anticipation??

Grand Prize winner will receive a $50 Urban Outfitters gift card. Oh yea!!

Here’s the catch: Write a lovely limerick!
What’s a limerick?
Well, its a five line poem (usually humorous) written with one couplet and one triplet. Think a, a, b, b, a rhyming scheme.
Here’s my attempt at one:

Contests are always a big hit
Free stuff is great, gotta love it
So write a little rhyme
It won’t take much time
Perhaps you’ll add more to your closet!

Rules:
email me your excellent, inspirational creations to stylealchemy@aim.com
(with the subject: Fall Into Fall contest)
You have until midnight September 30th to send them in.

Good luck and I can’t wait to read your entries!!
