Welcome to the 145th edition of Thursday Thirteen!

Before we get into this week’s T13, we want to congratulate the winners of last week’s “Gross” competition. Since last week was our 144th edition, and since we know that 144 equals a gross, we challenged you to write a “Gross” themed Thursday Thirteen. I was amazed at the creative approaches to “gross” that you took. What a wonderfully creative and unique group of bloggers we have here at Thursday Thirteen! Here are the winners:

3rd Place - Hootin’ Anni’s - a gross lesson in geography

2nd Place - LuLu’s Petals - a gross Mother’s Day theme

1st Place - Diurnata - a grossly educational post

Please visit each of these winners and give them a hearty T13 CONGRATULATIONS!

NOW BACK TO THIS WEEK’S EDITION.

    • Please leave the link to your Thursday Thirteen in comments.
    • Its also helpful if you leave your edition number.
    • Then visit as many Thirteeners as you can. Help spread the T13 love!
    • Please make sure that you have the new blogroll on your page - many of you haven’t changed your blogroll!!

    Also be sure to check out the Thursday Thirteen Forum to learn about all things T13, and then look through our CafePress shop for great Thursday Thirteen items for yourself and for gifts.

    Look to the top left of the screen and visit this week’s featured blogs, too!

    Happy Thirteening!
