"Get Ready for the Fourth" Contest

In celebration of the upcoming Fourth of July, we're having a "Red, White and Blue" contest!  All you have to do is name ANY ONE Charming Tails piece that has a red, white and blue FLAG on it.  Send the name of the piece, no later than midnight of Sunday, the Fourth of July, to Susan Ott.  The winner of a surprise prize will be randomly picked from all entries listing one (ok - or more!) "flag-adorned" pieces!!

January Contest Results!

Now, normally, this is where we would give you the answers to the previous contest.  However, if anyone REALLY needs the answers, just email Mackenzie.  I'm sure he'll be happy to help you figure out the answers!  In case you forgot, here are the questions asked in the January contest:

1. How do you spell Mackenzie's first name?
2. What type of animal is Bunnie Bunny?
3. What is the name of Dean Griff's Mom's son (the one that is an artist)?
4. What type of bug is Lydia Ladybug?
5. What MATERIAL is Binkey carving in "Binkey's Ice Carving"?
6. In what year were the 2001 Christmas Ornaments released?
7. What kind of vegetable is mentioned in the name "Squashville"?
8. What is the name of the Squashville Social Club's newsletter?
     (Well - we couldn't give them ALL away!  LOL!!)
