WINNER OF THE CONTEST!

As promised, the winner of the "Why is Mona Lisa Smiling?" Contest has been chosen. This was a tough decision, ladies. There were some very creative and fun entries. I must admit, I chose the one that appealed to my own nature. And without further ado, THE WINNER IS.........Wendy Beckett OF WendyÂ’s Woolies http://www.wendyswoolies.com/

CONGRATULATIONS WENDY!!

Here's her post:
Mona Lisa used to have a high-powered job as an accountant for a city firm in Rome. What with all the power-lunches, late night meetings and entertaining clients she never seemed to be able to find time to knit.
Each month she would receive her knitting magazines and flick through them in bed looking at all the wonderful patterns for shawls and socks and sweaters and moan to her husband about how she had no time to knit them.
One evening, at a charity fund raiser for the "Stop Venice Sinking" fund she was seated next to a young artist named Leo.
He couldn't stop staring at her and asked if she had ever done any modelling. She smiled at his corny chat-up line and continued talking to the influential client opposite about the possible tax reducing strategies for his pasta business.
But Leonardo wouldn't take no for an answer and continued to offer her increasingly large amounts of money to sit for him.
Eventually, she took him up on his offer, got a sabbatical from her firm and now she gets paid to sit still for hours on end with nothing to do.....except knit. And she gets paid for the modelling.
Now....wouldn't you be smiling?

So, now to get in touch with Wendy to get her particulars to send her her prize.

Thank you to everyone who entered. Your stories and ideas were very inventive. I hope everyone had fun. I wish everyone whoenteredd all the best!
