Keiko of The Infertility Voice came in second in the closest race in the history of the Limerick Chick, owning more than 49% of the votes.
As always I had so much fun hosting this event. Thanks to all who ventured an entry for playing in the green with me.
With her winnings, Erica may choose to support the organization of her choice or take a gift certificate to Amazon.com.
Thanks to each of the entrants and finalists and voters — we’ll do it all again next year.
Happy St Patrick’s Day, peoples. Need I pinch you?
