Finally, I can shed the mantle of shame (Owner of the Ugliest Coffee Mug on the Planet) and place it upon you, my worthy successor: Becky at Adult Deprived, who is apparently also mug deprived. Or depraved. Becky's mug was aptly described by Joy at Sing 4 Joy as "ropetastic."
Coming in a close 2nd, however, was Beverlydru at Dancing with the Daffodils and her witch with a wart mug. Awesome. Beverly, since you lost by only two votes, email me your address, too, and I'll send you a little sumpin' sumpin'.
Everyone who participated is a great sport and I think you brightened a lot of people's day with your "tragically hysterical" stories, as Kim from the South put it.
Here is Becky's new & improved, updated prize package valued at approximately $30:
A $15 Starbucks card! Woo to the Hoo!
One "Gold Pack" of my friend Cindy's Gourmet Divine Chocolate Bark--RASPBERRY! Oh, you are in for a treat. Remember that Cindy's chocolate bark is not just sprinkled with raspberry candy; it's infused with raspberry throughout. Get ready for a veritable taste bud lollapalooza. With your first bite, Kool & the Gang start singing "Celebration" inside your mouth: "There's a party goin' on right here, a celebration, to last throughout the years."
Two coffee-themed towels for Valentine's Day that say, "I Love You A Latte," because I gotta whole latte love for anyone who can win an "ugly" contest.
Last but not least, this ca-yute mug with the phrase, "Espresso Yourself," and "Be a Coffee Drinking Fan," which is kind of like me turning your pumpkin into a carriage. Let the mug commemorate your new title, "Owner of Very Clever Mug Which is Perfect for Coffee-drinking Bloggers Who Love to Espresso Themselves." Use it daily; use it well. Make me proud.Thanks to all who entered and voted. And just so you know ... I finally got rid of my ugly mug--the drinking one, and bought myself a new one at TJ Maxx!

Yay for the winners, boo for me!! What a great contest, can't wait for the next one...
That was fun. I almost went out and bought an ugly mug myself. Hopefully I can participate in the next one.
Oh and seriously - "I love you a latte????" sigh... :)

Congrats to the winners. I guess. Does anybody know what Bambi's blog is?
JUST KIDDING!!!!! You rock. And your mug is perfect for your new black and white kitchen!!
Congratulations Becky!! That was a fun contest. Oh my goodness, I don't know when I have laughed that much!
I love your new mug Linda...goes great with your new kitchen.
I love your new mug! It reminds me of some of the wall paper you were looking at for your kitchen back in the redecorating kitchen phase. :-)
Congrats to the winner. Truly deserving of a new mug for sure. That was a lot of fun, Linda.
Congratulations Becky!
Linda--I LOVE the new mug that matches your kitchen. Tres chic!
I like your mug Lid! It is big and it matches your kitchen too!
Sure wish I could eat some of the raspberry chocolate righthtisminute.
Have a good one!
I have already posted once on today's entry, but I didn't want to comment again lest you think I was attempting to have my name in the hat twice for the prize. :)
Just wanted to say that I'm having a crappy (can I say that here) day today and wanted to thank you for making me laugh!
That was a great contest and me with a collections of more than 70 mugs did not decide to enter. The mugs are all packed away and I am not sure about taking pictures yet.
Thanks a lot.

This was a lot of fun and I had a blast playing 'cowgirl' dressup to go along with my mug. Congrats to Becky :)
I feel like I am doing my part for the economy by being an example of how to find entertainment without spending much money. The .52 I spent at Goodwill last week provided me with hours of entertainment! Thanks- you're a fun friend.
Yes! I love your new mug! Keep it warm with all your weather1 Yikes, this winter stuff is not for sissies!
I looked for my ugly mug, but finally determined that it is in the attic (which is entered from outside in the "winter mix" storm). I love you and would get it, BUT I must have the help of a certain man in my life who thinks I'm crazy on the internet anyway and he just would not cooperate. :(
Ooo I like the new mug! Very sassy.
