This one goes to Eleven…
Did you think I forgot about the contest??? Of course I didn’t! It just took me a while to compile the list of eligible participants because I spread it out so much over the past fews weeks because of technical difficulties.
So after all was said and done, we have ELEVEN participants!! I couldn’t be happier considering I transplanted by blog and the “comments don’t work, not they do, oops they don’t, ok yay they finally work” ordeal.
So the winner of the very first Win What Jen Finds is……….
drummmmmmmmrrolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Miss Nelson from Meaningful Outcomes!
Miss Nelson is from a special breed of educators for special needs children who CARE about the importance of their work and CARE about the children they touch. I think I was just spoiled by The Teacher, that I didn’t recognize just how valuable this special group of teachers are! Thank you Miss Nelson!
So blah blah blah, enough mushy stuff, what did she win?
Well, I was specifically looking for bling for this contest since it was what I originally called the contest (Win Some Bling) but I like the “formal” name (Win What Jen Finds) better. It’s just fitting. And versatile in the event that I can’t find bling. But Miss Nelson you are in LUCK!
In Honor of the Olympics you have won a SILVER MEDAL!
I thought it also fitting that you blogged on Melanie Roach recently too!
It is a silver medal for different reasons:
- USA led in the medal standings and had the most silver medalists!
- The Trusty Statistician chose 7 as the first random number and as you can see in the picture, um, that would be him. And since he is good as gold but only in MY world, I had The Trusty Statistician choose a second random number (that wasn’t #7)
- I couldn’t find a gold medal, and after all it IS Win What Jen Finds. I had 3 medals, what I thought was one of each variety, but I actually had 2 bronze medals and a silver medal.
So Congratulations, Miss Nelson. You do deserve a gold medal though! Please send me an email at findout at whatjenfinds dot com and let me know where you would like for me to ship your awesome prize! BTW, you are just getting the medal, not the pink piece of paper, nor my toes in the background of the photo, but feel free to save the picture to have those things for your scrapbook.

I’m not as Nerdy as I thought I was…Then again, maybe I am.
Thanks, Gwen, for letting me know that my comments were not working. They are working now. My brother and I have been “singing” to each other. Good times…
So yet, AGAIN, I must postpone the Win What Jen Finds contest. Sheesh! I’m collecting ALL the commenters on ALL the Success Sunday post since 2 weeks ago.
I updated the code for How to Post your Own Success Sunday. Look under featured posts at the top of the sidebar! It makes it a LOT easier to update!
BTW, if something crazy like that happens again, feel free to contact me at the above link that looks like a phone (or at the bottom of the sidebar). Thanks!

The Hub and I were chatting about Ma T and how there are ELEVEN YEAR OLDS in this world that haven’t experienced her “era.” It’s amazing to me that the words of wisdom and comfort and love that she gave more than a decade ago (even two decades ago or more) still hold true today. Just goes to show that there will always be someone hurting that we can reach out to. I hope someone out there in blogland stumbled across this post and reads her quotes today and feels ever so slightly uplifted because of it. Have a blessed week!
