Spot The Mistake - WINNER

We have a winner for my latest Spot The Mistake post! You all did very well, and found the obvious mistake. You really have no idea how difficult it was for me to not fix that. I might still be a bit twitchy.

But, even though you all found the obvious error, I do need to select a winner. I've decided to go out on a limb and select the person who not only found that mistake, but questioned other words in my post. I'm all about being an example for others, you know.

So the winner is ... drum-roll, please ... LINDSEY! She was bold enough to question my spelling of stash-a-liscious, which, even though it is a made-up word, probably needs to lose the s before the c, and become stash-a-licious. There, I've said it.

I know where you live, Lindsey, so I'll get something out to you soon. I'm off to search the stash for something worthy for you.

Thanks to everyone who played!

Spot The Mistake!

Hello, fair readers! Today I bring you another episode of Spot The Mistake. For those of you unfamiliar with this concept, please remember I might be a bit anal-retentive about spelling, and I tend to go back and fix things in my posts that spell-check missed.

But every now and then, I offer up a Spot The Mistake opportunity for you to pick apart my post and find the mistake yourself.

The post in question this time is yesterday's SOS post. Please read that post, but enter your comment/correction on this post.

I will pick a winner from all responses, probably in some unfair and non-scientific manner, and send you something from my stash. It's a WIN-WIN for all of us!

Have fun!

Spot The Mistake - We Have A Winner!!!

No, I am not dead, though I certainly am under the weather. I have not stamped for a week. No, that's not true. I have stamped, a lot, but it's all so much pretty trash. Sickness doesn't help the mojo, apparently.

So ANYway, my last lame post was a Spot The Mistake challenge, and you guys are great for playing along.

Yes, the mistake I had in mind was the use/used boo-boo. And yes, Celery was capitalized because it's my lazy way of typing the SU color Certainly Celery. Well played, everyone!

I've woken up Bobra to have him select a winner, and he told me to leave him alone and use random.org instead, so I did. We had a whopping 5 entries, and ... drum roll please .. the winner is:

#5 - Jessi - COME ON DOWN!  Whoot whoot!  *the crowd goes wild*

Please email me and I'll give you the choices for your color of Liquid Pearls.

Thanks for playing, everyone!

I hope to be back later with an actual card. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Spot The Mistake!

Hello, there! I'm taking the current Online Card Class called Pattern Play, and it's so full of great ideas that my head is about to explode. Unfortunately I can't get any of it to transfer to paper, so instead, I'm offering up a challenge to Spot The Mistake in this morning's SOS post.

I know of at least one, and I say that because you guys always find more.

I happen to have a few double-purchased colors of Perfect Pearls, one of which will be sent to the lucky person I choose based on something I'll make up but probably will have no scientific basis or even be remotely fair. I may even have Bobra pick the winner.

So get to it! You have until Friday evening, 6 pm EDT in the old USofA. I'll announce the winner some time this weekend.

Game on!

Spot The Mistake WINNER!

This past Monday I posted a Spot The Mistake contest, wherein I asked you to go to this post and find my mistake. As always, you have risen to the challenge and not only spotted the mistake *I* had in mind, but several others, as well. You guys never let me down.

Let's go through them, shall we? (What, you just want to know if you've won? Then scroll down past this list, please.)

1. abbreviation vs abbreviations Yes, correct! I know, it was too easy.
2. misspelling of coloring (mentioned by a loyal Canadian reader). If this were a Canadian blog, or if I were Canadian, maybe. This time though? Not. Nice try.
3. the sentence starting "And at 8:01am..." should really not be a new sentence unless you remove the and. Probably correct. I suppose I could have use "Also," instead.
4. Last paragraph first sentence: probably should have "well,..." be a new sentence. Yeah, well ... I suppose I could have used a semi-colon there, but I didn't. And I can ignore this and #3, not only because it's my blog, but because that's my smarty-pants son making those observations. I should send him some washi tape or something.
5. "stoppit" caught my attention. Two words and just one "p," right? Yes, except that's a Twitter-ism that has bled over into the rest of my life. So no.
6. "...letters that were too large to spell out Thanks,..." should that thanks be in quotes? Oh, probably. :)
7. "...I was actually following a sketch. This one from Retro Sketches". Should the sentence with Retro Sketches say, "This one is from Retro Sketches"? No, but those are two poorly crafted sentences on my part. I would probably re-write them as "...I was actually following this sketch from Retro Sketches". -or- "...I was actually following a sketch -- this one from Retro Sketches".  Good catch!
8. Don't think you need a comma after - amused and then. Well, I'm of the school that if you need a pause, or if a word can be completely left out and the sentence would still make sense, I add a comma.
9. "The one set I have is too blue to work here. Sigh." - maybe a comma between the words; here and Sigh and don't need capital 'S' on sigh. I actually wanted the "Sigh" to be a separate one-word statement.

One mistake and I get 9 suggestions for things that might be wrong. heh heh I love you guys. OKAY, I've counted 11 commenters who didn't exclude themselves from the chance to win, so here goes ... drum-roll, please ... and the winner is (via random.org):

Lexie Kay! Come on down! Let's see what Lexi Kay as won. She's won one 4-roll package of Washi tape from my stash! YAY! Woo-hoo! (the crowd goes wild) Lexie Kay - please email me via the link in my left side-bar and I'll give you your color choices.

Thanks for playing, everyone! I'll be back in a bit with an actual card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Spot The Mistake!

It's time for another round of Spot The Mistake! This time I ask you to go to this post and find at least one mistake. It could be anything - you tell me. I know of one, but you guys are good, and you usually find more.

Prizes. I need prizes. I'll go into The Captain's Quarters and find something. I'm sure I have two of something. It will be a surprise for all of us.

Da Rulez:
1. Enter as many times as you like.
2. You can list multiple finds per comment.
3. I don't care how many you find.
4. I reserve the right to tell you what you found is NOT a mistake.
5. Be nice. I am a delicate flower.
6. There is no #6.
7. Leave your comment(s) on THIS post.
8. Comments must be posted by 11:59 pm EDT on Friday the 13th, just to make it exciting.
ETA:
9. Winner will be chosen mostly randomly, by a pretty-much scientific and maybe fair process. 

Good luck! And thanks for stopping by!
