Well that race was neck and neck and seriously so exciting!  Everyone did so well!  If you're a winner, feel free to claim your badge by copying and pasting the code provided!  If you have any issues with it, please let me know and I"ll be happy to help you with it.  :)  You'll also be receiving an email from me notifying you that you're the winner with instructions on how to claim your free ad space.

Ads not claimed within 1 month of winning will be given to the listed runner up.

If you didn't win, please don't take it personally.  This was just a bit of fun, I'm not a big time company giving out gold medals or monetary awards... Not everybody who loves you, or another blog, or shop, etc. had the chance to see this and vote-it's just a little thing and I think it was pretty neat to see who was nominated to begin with-I found so many new blogs to follow!  I hope you took it as a great opportunity to make some new blog friends, and I look forward to an even better round next year!

I'll be learning from this year, and looking into better voting options for next year to ensure that the votes aren't just being padded.  :) Also next year there will be a limit on how many categories you can be nominated for/win.  If you have any other suggestions please leave me a comment and let me know! 

Are you ready to find out who won?  I am!  This is sooooo exciting!   Follow the break to see..

Drumroll please....

All the Little Lights {Musical Mondays & Giveaway}

What is Musical Mondays?

Musical Mondays is a weekly linky party where we share a song we're into for the week, and talk about why we like it-or why it effects us.  Along with talking about music, I host a (usually) month-long music related giveaway. 

This week's song:

All the Little Lights

by Passenger

One went out at a bus stuff in Edinburough

One went out in an English Pub

One went out in a nightclub when I was fifteen

Little lights in my heart

One went out when I lied to my mother

Said the cigarettes she found were not mine

One went out within me, now I smoke like a chimney

It's getting dark in this heart of mine

It's getting dark in this heart of mine

We're born with millions of little lights shining in the dark

And they show us the way

One lights up every time you feel love in your heart

One dies when it moves away

One went out in the back streets of Manchester

One went out in an airport in Spain

One went out I've no doubt when I grew up and moved out

Of the place where the boy used to play

One went out when uncle Ben got his tumor

We used to fish and I fish no more

Though he will not return I know one still burns

On a fishing boat of the New Jersey shore

On a fishing boat of the New Jersey shore

We're born with millions of little lights shining in the dark

And they show us the way

One lights up every time you feel love in your heart

One dies when it moves away

We're born with millions of little lights shining in our hearts

And they die along the way

Until we're old and we're cold and lying in the dark

'Cause they'll all burn out one day

They'll all burn out one day

All burn out one day

I love this song, and this whole album actually.  It's soulful and the song is kind of deep-I like the idea of all these little lights that burn out and light up within us at certain times of our life.  It's something that feel like I can relate to.
