It's Saturday!  And that means not only are we less than a week away from the start of A*MUSE*A*PALOOZA, but it's time to announce the answers (and the winner!) of this week's Where's Eddie? game!

Where's Eddie - Day 1

We had a number of guesses: everything from Venice, Italy, to the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas.  Even a few for San Antonio, Texas!  However, it was indeed Venice, Italy where Eddie was spotted!
 

Where's Eddie - Day 2

Nearly everyone was in agreement on Day 2!  Eddie was spotted taking in the mysterious sights at Stonehenge in England!

Where's Eddie - Day 3

Many of you recognized this sight along the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon - Multnomah Falls!

 

 

Where's Eddie - Day 4

And last but not least, our beloved Eddie is spotted, having returned from his travels, safe and sound at home in Washington's own ... Forks.

 

Any combination of town, country, city, or state was accepted as correct! 

*************************************************************************************************************************

One winner was chosen, at random, from all our correct entries!

And the winner is ...

Where's Eddie?

Eddie's travels are coming to an end, but you know how popular those vampire boys are these days ... everyone's on the lookout for 'em!  Which means his adoring fans are snapping photos wherever he is!  One of those fans shared this shot with us and written on the back was this ...

 

"Looking for Eddie in an overcast state, I found him waiting on the truck of a girl that he dates."

Do YOU know where Eddie is?

For your chance to win, simply enter your guess by leaving a comment on this post before midnight July 3rd (one entry per person per game post please). Each day this week we'll show you another photo from one of Eddie's fans and one winner will be chosen at random from all correct guesses on Saturday July 4th!

But wait ... are YOU one of the lucky fans to have spotted him?!  Share your Eddie sightings with us by uploading them to your blog or public gallery (like Splitcoast Stampers or Two Peas in a Bucket), taking care to include the keyword AP09EDDIE and then leaving us a link in a comment!  For sharing your photos with us, you'll receive an extra entry in the prize drawing!

As some of you may have noticed, we've been having some technical difficulties over at The A Muse Lounge.  We're working furiously behind the scenes to fix it but, unfortunately, The Lounge will be "closed for repairs" over the holiday weekend.  We're so sorry for the inconvenience and will let you know when we've re-opened!

The A Muse retail store in Seattle will be closed Saturday so that we may celebrate the 4th with our families. 

In the meantime, be sure to join in all the A*MUSE*A*PALOOZA fun here on The Blog!
