And our last winner, thanks to Random Number Generator, was commenter number 60, Rita. Congrats to Rita!
But wait, that's not all! If you've been reading all week, then you know the BEST prize is yet to come. And I'm going to give you ALL weekend to leave your comment for your chance to receive a 3-month membership in the Cheese of the Month club! I'll pick a random winner on Monday.
Why cheese? Because everyone loves cheese. So let the comments fly...about anything you want: cheese, trimmers, Fridays, me, Simple, your hopes and dreams, whatever.
In closing, let me leave you with a quote from my favorite claymation film of all time, Wallace & Gromit Curse of the Were-Rabbit. It's a quote we say quite frequently at my house, whether or not cheese is the topic of conversation or is anywhere in sight. It's surprisingly versatile:

I love me some gorgonZOLA, but I love Wallace & Gromit even more! (And the Wensleydale ain't bad either!) Anyway, thanks for my favorite magazine all the time it was popping into my mailbox. I cannot tell you how much I will miss SIMPLE SCRABOOKS. Au revoir!

I haven't watched Wallace & Gromit for years! If I win the cheese, I'll definitely have to dig out the old videotapes :)

I was at a funeral today for a darling three year old girl. Little girl funerals are the saddest in the world. My head aches and my eyes are super puffy from crying. So here's to beleving that time will heal our hearts, and a commitment to treasure more moments.

I love me some cheese. And I will really miss Simple, so having some cheese will make me feel better about losing my favorite magazine. I will drown my sorrows with cheese.

I will be eating a lot of cheese to fill the void left by the closing of Simple. Thanks for everything.

Hi Angie - I am just a little curious: How is it that you have cheese of the month to give away - some kind of Wisconsin or Vermont connection I don't know about?

Thanks for all the SIMPLE fun all these years! Miss you all already!

Good luck to what happens next. Simple will be missed.

Cheese is definitely a weekness for me. It goes so well with anything...bread, pasta, more cheese!

I will miss Simple and this fun blog. I hope you will be involved with CK.

OHHHHHH....CHEESE!! I love cheese, in all types, sizes, shapes, and colors! I often wonder what it would be like to go to one of those places (like France) and go on a cheese tasting tour, so fun! This would give me the opportunity to do it in my own home-thanks!!!
