And a hearty "way-to-go" to our Second Place winners from Jacksonville, Florida: Connie, Nicole and Rachel Torres. These crafty ladies earned a $3,500 treasure!

If yer lookin for ya next great adventure, check out the Best of Florida Christmas celebration here at Gaylord Palms, November 17–January 4.
