January's Count is finally done and it was a close one with a tie for first place and a tie for third place. I'd like to say that ALL of you did an outstanding job, and have really been raising the bar in these Challenges. I'm also happy to say this is the most votes we have received in a challenge, the more votes their are, the better. What I'm not happy about is the fact that I overlooked one of the entries this month, and the voting was way into full swing before anyone realized, I'm sorry about this, and will strive for it to never happen again. Because of this I would like to offer the Honorable Mention to Sparr, along with my apology. Thanks again for all your great entries! The FIVE Winners are...
