topcommentThe time has come to officially announce the two very lucky readers and the most prolific Commentators on Inspiration Bit - the winners of the Third Contest - Jess and Shankar Ganesh. Congratulations!!!

I will pass your email addresses to Ronald Huereca and he will contact you with instructions on how to obtain your $25 Amazon Gift Certificates.

One more winner

As promised, I would also like to announce an honorary final prize from Inspiration Bit to LGR who wished to “make it a blog swap. You write a post for me and I write a post for you”. So here you go, Lee, just let me know what topic you’d like me to write about on your blog, and I’ll tell you my preference.

Thanks again everybody for reading my blog. Even if you didn’t win any of my prizes this week, I hope that you all feel appreciated and welcomed here. And stick around, please - once in a blue moon I might surprise you with an unexpected inspiration gem, and who knows you might be one of the winners of the next year’s RAW (although I do hope that Bes and Ronald will rename it to RAD).
