~~~ Catholic Contest Winner ~~~
*
I know I could have awarded the winner and the runners up with some wonderful Catholic item like Paramedic Girl did for her contest, but instead I chose to labor away at my PhotoShop program (about which I know nothing), and made a special badge for display on your blog.
In my typical ADD fashion I waited until the last moment before tackling a job I am woefully unprepared to accomplish. Thanks to my newly acquired Photoshop Elements 6 The Missing Manual, I was able to barely eke out this sort of cute little badge. I know all you PS wizards - (you know who you are Mary Rose, * Carolina Cannonball, * Vincenzo, et al) are probably rolling on the floor laughing your "you know whats" off over this paltry little task. Trust me - it was HUGE for me.

Starting in true Dancing with the Stars fashion -

the second runner up is:

who logged in with 73 Catholic items
The first runner up is -
with a count of 79 Catholic items

...and the winner is - ta da and a drum roll please:
*
*
*
*
with an astonishing 124 Catholic sacramentals

Just so no one will be left out (Angela in particular, cries when she doesn't get something) we have this badge that proclaims to the world, "I don't have nearly enough Catholic Stuff".
- Tom in Vegas - who has an undetermined number of sacramentals
- Uncle Jim - who is struggling with his count. I suggested he get help from Aunt Roz, but in true male manner he refused. He was last seen sitting in the hall with his shoes and socks off to facilitate his counting.
- Kasia - 38
- Paramedic Girl - 38
- Rita - 27
- Angela - 22 (Although she is minting her own Miraculous Medals so the count may well be higher by now)
- Paula B52 - 19
- Irene - 16
- Cathy of Alex - 15
- Kirk - 13
- Emily - 10
- Roses & Jessamine - not sure but she does have hundreds of Holy Cards
- Karen in Canada - 9
- Mark in Spokane - 5 Being an honest attorney type (which is a whole different contest), he refuses to include his wife's sacramentals.
Display your badges with your heads held high knowing that you are contributing to the notion that "Catholics worship statues"
