Phew! after nearly one million visits and 3 million page views last month we're all done with online contests for awhile. It's time to relax and enjoy Thanksgiving.
But as we look back over the amazing number of submissions and all the hard work and creativity they contain, we are more impressed than ever with what we were able to do together: nearly 51 thousand folks a day got to visit 230 homes in the past month. Those homes were real homes, put together by real people who use them each day.
And because we were able to see so much, many, many ideas were dispersed that will undoubtedly cross-pollinate and find their way into new homes. This is what it is all about.
So, thank you to all readers, contest entrants, commenters, judges, editors and CB2. While we are fully aware that as this thing has grown, there have been some rough patches and confusion, we love hosting these and will continue to do what we can to keep them fair, healthy and alive online. Until next time, back to working on your homes!

Joy to the World... xo
Yup.
Bring on the eggnog!
And, a few hiccups aside, this was a fabulous contest.
They're already selling eggnog? Love it but SOOO bad for you.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU Maxwell for having this contest, despite the mayhem it caused. I just wanted my place to be posted (and it was!) so I could see what the AT folks thought. Hope this continues next year.
So Good/So Nice Soy eggnog! Mmmmmmmm.... tis soooo delish!
Tis the season to be jolly... falalalalalala (;
Yup, nothing says "Christmas" like an eggnog frappucino.
the I've Got Color! contest is always one of the best 'events' on the internet -- and gets better everytime!
inspiring, resourceful AND voyeristic!
