And the winners are ...

Thanks to everyone who participated in my first online scavenger hunt, which was (appropriately) dubbed Mrs. Dub's Ultimate Springtime Scavenger Hunt Extravaganza 2007 by someone really famous.

Happy helpers include Jen, Stephanie, Tara, Kate, Sara, Kristen and Rachel.

The rest of you know who you are, and I hope you can sleep at night.

And while I might come across as a passionate, opinionated blogger, those who know me know that I'm actually quite passive. So choosing a winner among friends is basically torture for me. Hence, I've selected a winner for each of the categories.

And the winners are ...

(click on photos for links!)

* A short hairdo

Thanks Rachie for this 'do, which has inspired me and totally transformed her!

* A paperclip

This paperclip comes complete with a crazy story, courtesy of Sara.

* A black, white or fuschia dress for me

This dress, found by Jen, is a steal.

This dress, found by Laurel, is cool.

This fun dress, found by Kate, came from a store you'll never guess.

And this jacket, found by Rachel, will make all my sleeveless dreams/dresses come true.

* A black, white or fuschia dress for Miss Dub
Do I go for casual chic, as Jen's sis suggested?

Or funky formal, as Kate recommended?

Or both?

* The world’s best boy baby shower gift

Tara made me laugh with this party pleaser,

And Stephanie wowed me once again with her sewing prowess.

* Cool, colorful plastic plates and bowls

Kate and Tara recommended these IKEA classics.

* Cool white plates and bowls

Tara went for IKEA again ... and I think I will, too!

* Your firstborn

How can you resist Stephanie's first creation?

* The must-have fashion of the spring season

Kristen's lil' guy (and his Peanut Shell) does count, right?

No one wanted to give these items a scavenge, so I went for it myself:

* A piece of toast

* Something old

*Something new

*Something borrowed

*Something blue

*Most embarassing story

If we're counting, Rachel and Tara tied for number of winning finds. Have a guest blog or night of free babysitting on me ... just email me!

But all of you are winners in my book!

Seriously, you should read it.
