dianamb2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Maybe it's just me, but it appears that NO ONE has been notified yet. If ANYONE wins this contest, it HAS to be one of you geniuses on this site!!!! I mean NO sarcasm by that. You guys are unbelievably brilliant! Give it a little time.... the emails/calls will start coming. My guess is that quite a few people from this site are going to win some pretty awesome prizes! Good luck to you all - you deserve it!!!
