UPDATE: We have a WINNER!
So, the secret winning number to snatch my Juggling Black cat is 23! Why 23? Well, I made my first grinning black cat in 2003 (and was he ever crude!! :) But, he was the start of many more to come. So,
break down 2003, and you get 20 + 3 which equals 23! Many of you came so very close to this number, but only one person nailed it!
Congrats to Marie who left the following comment on June 25 at 9:13pm:
