As those of you who read my Body of Art post know, I entered a competition with a hoodie decorated with a reading theme. (Shameless advertisement: It was advertising a free online novel I wrote, more on that some other time.)
Only two people entered the contest, and despite the many, many people who said they would vote for me…I lost. It didn’t bother me that I lost, and the good people at the store were kind enough to give me a consolation prize, or some drawing that came from entering, or something like that. Cool beans. Free markers!
Well I forgot all about it, until this morning when I got a call. Apparently they made a mistake, I’m the actual winner. They failed to tally online votes, sticking with in-store votes only.
Which means…what? I’m not sure. Except that I really think they should count all the votes before passing out prizes. You know?

I’m sorry that I didn’t see your earlier post but congrats. I think it’s an even better win since you were convinced that you didn’t. I hope you get something great and enjoy the process.

Neither did I see your earlier post and I also offer you congrats! I am not surprised that you won but I am surprised that they didn’t count online votes. Hm. I hope they will make it up to you handsomely. Blessings to you…
