Potholder winner and a poem

BEK. Congratulations Bek!!
But seriously I feel like I really I am the winner in this. I know that sounds soppy, but you'll just have to deal with me being a little soppy for a minute.
You guys are awesome, seriously. Thank you so much to EVERYONE who entered and left such an array of amazing, loving and gorgeous comments. You blow me away. And you know what I wanted you ALL to win. And that's pretty nice. And also what's so nice is with this giveaway I knew almost everyone who entered and have emailed with them at some point. And while I loved the last giveaway I did, I loved this one even more because it was more personal or something, and amoung friends. And the funny thing is I did this giveaway as a small way to say thank you to all you guys for your awesomeness, and I've ended up thanking you all over again and wanting to do another giveaway all over again to thank you for this one. If that makes sense.
So I thought I'd share this poem/ cartoon by another person who inspires me, blows me away Michael Leunig. I'm sure many of you have already seen this. But those who haven't I hope you enjoy it.
Duckwhistle Politics

In every human being
Is something we are not seeing
Down there in the muck
It is the inner duck!

So blow the duckwhistle gently
At least you can blow it mentally
And what you thought was lacking
Will gladly rise up quacking

And with this joyful meekness
And rounded yellow beakness
So beautifully unfurled,
Go out and love the world!
