And the Winner Is.....

Yes, the wait is finally over....I am getting on the ball and have chosen winners of the Second Piggy Bank Contest and the Second Chance Contest. It was a hard decision. Really.

The entries were so creative and imaginative. I love seeing my piggy banks through new eyes.

From Daisy I had "Daisies aren't crazy when they help you save! A simple flower in many fun shades makes this pig a bloomin' success."


From Jan, "This little piggy bank went to market - with a lot of cash! Decorated with cheerful blue, pink and yellow footprints, this is the piggy bank that started it all here at Korff Ceramic Originals. Whether for yourself or as a gift for a loved one, this charming little guy can be personalized with the name of your choice. So put your best foot forward and go wee-wee-wee, all the way home with a true, hand-painted original!"

From Angela, "There was a time when wishing on a shooting star seemed like it would be enough to make any dream a reality. These days? It's safe to say you need some savings to get there. That's what we had in mind when creating this bank."

From Hallie, "8 Ball Piggy Bank When so much in life is a toss up..when so many questions go unanswered...when yes or no really ISN'T always the best choice....When nothing else seems reliable, there's always the 8 Ball Piggy Bank. After all, an 8 ball in the corner pocket always wins the game. And with this little piggy in YOUR corner, you can't lose!"

From Vicki, for the Classic White Piggy, "Something loved by generations past and something that will continue to be loved by generations to come. This piggy bank makes a classic statement while still being modern and cute. Able to fit in with any decor, young or old, this Piggy Bank will become a classic heirloom in your family."

From Larissa, "Money doesn't talk - it SINGS! You're sure to hear beautiful music as you fill up this cute little guy with change. Hand painted with musical notes, this could be the perfect gift for any budding young musician, as they save their way to that *notably* expensive instrument."

From Penelope Ann, "Come sail away, come sail away with me, Dreams lead us over the mountains and sea. Drop a penny, or a pound. Money saved a precious sound."

From Liz, "Pigasus. (The winged pig - not to be confused with Pegasus the winged horse.) Pigasi are gentle creatures who never bite and are not at all fond of dirt. They make wonderful pets and love sleeping on book shelves and dressers."

From Dana, "Do you think saving pennies is pointless? Then try quarters! It will be easy in the Watermelon Pig because every time you save 25 cents, you are that much closer to having a watermelon bank FULL OF (not just pennies, but) QUARTERS!!! This is the fastest way to save! Instructions included!"

From Sher, "So you think you're a Princess, but not everyone else realizes it? Buy my cute,"pink as a Princess" Piggy Bank and you will have a daily reminder that you really are the Princess that you thought you were.Save your change to treat yourself to spa days and pedicures, so you will look Princess Perfect!"

And then we had some name suggestions....
From Veggie Mom - Watermelon Piggy Bank - "Carnegie"
And Georgie gave me lots of name suggestions, including, but not limited to, the musical note piggy bank could now be Music and Lyrics PB, Flying Pb could be Wings PB, Poker Piggy Bank What Happens in Vegas stays in the Piggy Bank and more : ) Thanks Georgie : )

They were all great, and if you don't mind, I would love to use them on my website.

But my favorite, well it made me laugh out loud, and the winner, is
from Paula, for the "Clownfish Piggy Bank":
"Ne'mo money? Then this is the bank for you! Instead of finding yourself swimming with the fishes when you can't pay the loan sharks you will have this perfect bank to protect your cash and help you save so you can find the perfect place and swim with the fishes when *you* choose."

I love the play on words in this and with a couple "piggy banks" thrown in for keywords, it's great. Thank you and congratulations Paula! You get the Clown Fish Piggy Bank in your choice of colors.

Now, for the second chance drawing....
