Because I know myself so well!

Some of you may remember I was having a Pay it Forward contest with the winner to be announced on Saturday morning.

Guess who didn't remember?

Yeah, that would be me.

Sorry about that.

There were so many good suggestions it really was a hard choice! Sven by Amanda. Purple Passion Princess by Melissa who gets huge props for remembering. The Grape Ape from Dodi. Pourpre which is French for purple from Julie. ARGH! Choices!

So without further delay, I present to you....

VIOLET BEAUREGARDE as submitted by Jen on the Edge who is holding a contest of her own as well as lucky enough to be building her dream home. (I say "home" not "house" because, to me, there IS a difference.) So go visit her, check out her blog, her Dream Home blog and tell her how she is all kinds of wonderful. Jen? Send me a PM with your address and I'll get a nifty prize box in the mail for you. Thanks to everyone for playing.

*gasp*

Here I was all focused on giving stuff to OTHER people that I totally forgot that I was in the running for something my very own self.

I'm so glad you like Violet Beauregard, because that's exactly what I would name her too. The name really and truly popped into my head as soon as I saw the photo. "Why, that looks like Violet Beauregard."

Oh wait, you told me to send you a PM with my address. What's a PM? Is it some sort of code for email, which is what I sent you?
