The Happy Accident Hat Contest
Last week while seeking bargains at the government surplus store, I found a box of 100 envelopes. They were a weird looking size, but, hey, weird works for me. And the price was right, 10 cents. So I bought a box.
Mistake! Turns out they weren’t envelopes at all. Instead, they were paper hats, the kind worn by food service industry workers in some erstwhile era. I set them aside. Notice I did not say I threw them away. I set them aside. They were, after all, paper. A day or two went by and every time my eye would light on them I’d think, “Mistake!”
But, then one day I remembered the Bob Ross quote, “We don’t make mistakes, we have happy accidents.” That made me smile and I began thinking.
TA DA! The Happy Accident Hat Contest was born.
THE RULES:
***Note: You don’t have to be a follower or spread the word about the contest, but both, or either, would be greatly appreciated. If you do blog about it, or post to facebook, or tweet, or whatever, please send me a link.

Hey Patty! Thanks for touching base with the comment on my blog. I have really enjoyed the tractor envelopes! As for the postcard, I don't think the one you were talking about was from me… I sure don't remember sending that particular postcard to you. Sounds like you have a new pen pal from my neck of the woods! 🙂
