Announcing "Blizzard of Aught-Nine: The Contest!"

(This will be the last snow-related post; I promise. That is, until we get the next big storm.)

While we were playing in the snow again yesterday, Chuck and I were wondering when we'd see our grass again. You know, this grass:


As usual in our house, the debate came to us making a Mormon-friendly bet. Then I thought, "You know, I still have a lot of Etsy crap that I need to get out of the house. Why not run a fun contest on the blog and give some of it away?" So that's what I'm doing.

How to Win: Submit a comment to THIS post telling me the date when you think the small green square of grass (where the tree resides) will be fully uncovered with snow. (Chuck and I will be the judges.) I will moderate comments so that you'll know no one's else's guess. When the contest closes next Monday (December 28th), I'll release all comments so you can see who bid what date. I don't believe in Price is Right rules, so it'll be the closest, whether you go over the date or not. Winner gets a bunch of handmade crap made by yours truly. Remember next year's Christmas is only 367 days away! Good luck!

Here are the pictures that show the current amount of snow in our small green patch:
