Happy Monday, everybody. Cheryl here to present the final round for Highlowaha's very own March Madness. We started out with 8 teams and the two final competitors are the California Golden Girls and the Texas Tidbits. The competitions have been fierce! How did these two teams get here?
The California Golden Girl's Animoto idea started by running over the Derby City Darling's Shutterfly books- both great ideas. The Texas Tidbits HungryGirl.com ate up the Clevelands Creative's GoogleText. Both teams moved to the second round with more great ideas.
California Golden Girl's showed us how to make our flashdrives cuter than a rubber duck by squeaking out the win over the Iowa Big Idea Babe's Elf on the Shelf. Texas Tidbit's Frownies just barely defeated Wisconsin Cheese Hen's photo purse. Tough competitions, all of them. And today is no different!
Let's get ready to rrruuuummmmmbbbllee!!!
Today the battle comes down to big idea #3:
Ugallery.com
You can buy original art from students at half the price of what you would normally pay. You can shop by price, size, medium, etc. and you can even view the piece in a room! It’s a really cool way to start your own collection.
or
Wine Bottle and Gift Tag
Have you run out of unique gift ideas for dinner parties and/or housewarming gatherings? Well this is your opportunity to personalize that wine bottle that you would typically give to someone during those occasions. By just simply adding a one of a kind recipe card to the wine bottle you will create a gift that family and friends will enjoy and remember. Not only will they receive a great bottle of wine but they will also receive an excellent dinner idea. You may decorate your card as you desire, remember this is your opportunity to create a distinct recipe card.
So what's it going to be Idea Fans? Place your vote in the comment section for Art or Wine. Voting closes at 7pm CST.
Announcements:
Gift of 218: If you know of someone who needs the Gift of 218 please email us their story to highlowaha218@gmail.com.
Signing off until tomorrow... and the announcement of the Big Winner of March Madness!!!

Happy Monday, everyone!!!!
Art!! What a way to start a collection.
Well, Boones Farm ruined me. I'm not the lush I used to be so... Art. :)

I vote WINE. Pair your favorite bottle of wine and recipe card/poetry/quote tag to make a cute and easy host gift.
I vote for the Art. Great idea and good exposure for the artist.
Art - it's amazing what deals you can find by simply sitting in front of this little computer screen with your jammies on!!
I am amazed when I meet people who say they don't know how to use their email... I can't image my life with out a daily dose of my computer and the art of a deal! I guess that's kind of sad too!
I vote Wine. I will definitely try that.
Who doesn't love a great bottle of wine with something fun attached? I vote wine.
Wine!
Today is a tough one. I'm all about packaging, so I love the idea of enhancing a bottle of wine with a recipe. It's a nice personal touch that lets the recipeint know you didn't zip past the liquor store on your way to their house.
On the otherhand, I just got lost in Ugallery.com for 35 minutes. I, the definately see myself going back to this sight and eventually purchasing a piece of art. "Art" has to get my vote on this one.
Art and wine... what a nice way to close out March Madness! My, my we're a classy bunch aren't we?
