my blog timing sensibility is a bit askew, slow, off...basically, what I'm trying to say is

MY BAD!

 
It was SO fun visiting everyone's blogs and enjoying all the creativity you've shared with us.  You all totally rock!!!  And of course, thank you to our loyal fans who play in the blog sandbox with us every day and a huge welcome to the new kids, too!

and the Top 3 will each get to choose their very own badge from the Top 3 Badges (shown below)

or you three can also let me know if you wanna wait for a new Hang Loose themed badge:

My creative juices are flowing, but it does take some time to create new badges.  Please do let me know what you'd like as soon as you can...before I have to leave the sandbox and go back to school (or you know...that thing we call...work. AHHHH!!!!)

Again, big thank yous to everyone for playing in our challenge and remember, new games are startin' tomorrow!!! Stop by again tomorrow to check out the new challenge.
