Back-to-School Scavenger Hunt Contest WINNER!!!

2:51 AM, Oct. 18, 2006

Wow! Two weeks flies when you're not looking. This was an excellent contest, and I am so pleased with the turnout of 35 participants.

Out of those 35, 10 sent in what they had found and 7 found all 20 of the graphics!

UPDATE: See below for where all 20 graphics were.

Thank you to each of you who hosted a graphic!

Thank you so much for all the kind e-mails and comments about this being fun. While I invisioned it being fun, I was a little worried that noone would enter for fear of it being to hard! I started receiving e-mails one day after the contest was posted! It was fun to receive e-mails from contestants who had found so many thus far, and then receive another e-mail with an update on how they were doing.

I also want to thank all the bloggers who particpated who don't have a blog with HSB. Thanks for helping to spread the word about this contest and incredible prize, and thanks for joining in the fun.

One more thank you to Competizione for linking to this contest.

Be sure and check back here regularly for more great articles and contests. Next week will be a contest for a Math DVD Bundle!

At any rate, I hope all of you are enjoying your school year. Now on to the winner of this fabulous prize!

Contest winner will receive the BRAND NEW Homeschool Version of Auralog’s Tell me More Spanish® software. Valued for its speech recognition technology and personalized language courses Tell me More® has over 5 million users worldwide. This complete, four level set covers reading and writing, listening and speaking, grammar, vocabulary and culture. A $245 value!!

The winner is, Aligirl!

Congratulations!

So bloggers, wanna do it again for Christmas?

Click on the graphic name to see where it was. The secret to finding most of these graphics was to look at the names on the Front Porch or HSB home page. A couple you couldn't find there, but they were popular enough blogs that you would find their names in the Friends lists of most of the other blogs.

ABC Book

Microscope and beakers

Skeleton and confused man

Boy with thinking cap

Stack of books

Backpack

Chalkboard

I've got to know how you found them all. I found 16 and thought I had done great, I guess not. I check every link on the front porch and found a few others by accident. I even was hitting the random blogger. What was the secret to finding them all?

what I did, was go through the links on the front porch, and then when I hit a dead end...hehe!! I went through Tia's links on her sagerats blog! It took me a long time to find the brown schoolhouse graphic, but I finally found it on Chickadee's blog. That one had me stumped.
