In honour of Frannie, who loves contests and giveaways I offer you this on a very, very small scale.
My daughter's school is named after someone from the court of King Henry VIII. Tell me who it is, what fate befell him/her and what you think her school mascot would be.
Any correct answers will be put together and the winner drawn by Taylor this weekend.
The prize will be sent in the New Year and you know all it's going to be is cards or something similar. Maybe some Canadian chocolate too, if the winner happens to not be from here.
And the prizes from the last little contest? Have been purchased and will be mailed to Chris and Karmyn this Thursday. Yeah, it takes me forever but eventually I do it.
Duh...I guess I should have said email me the answer because one could just copy the answer they see. emmamcdon@gmail.com Sorry to have deleted your answer AFF! But I'll remember what you said!

I'd quite forgotten I won a contest was that the Canadianisms? it was fun.
I, uh, did a little research and figured out the answer. I don't want to win by cheating, so I'll e-mail you with my answer so as not to ruin it for anyone else.
Is it sad the most of my knowledge of Henry VIII's court comes from the Showtime TV Series, The Tudors? Since then, I've actually paid attention to the history channel specials and the few college books my hubby has on hand about that time period.
No guess though.. several silly ones pop into my hand.. but they are inappropriate for children's school names!
That's really hard but I have had a go!
Jane whatshername. Damnit, her last name escapes me. She got jilted by Henry....and then beheaded.
in honor of me??? well, don't I just love you!
I will work on it and send you an email in the next day or so.
Honestly I have no idea! Sadly no time to figure it out but I love contests.
I GOT IT!! YAY!! SEE there Hubby!! My degree in Medieval British History did amount to something. NYAH!!
I am historically challenged. No guess for me but this is still interesting.
OMG, I have no idea and I'm currently obsessed with all the English history novels written by Philippa Gregory. I will email you my guess - wrong no doubt.
I have searched and searched--- and I have no idea!!
sorry :(
Oh wow - I completely forgot about the last contest. cool
and for this one? Hmm...is your daughter attending the school of Boleyn. the mascot? A floating head? ha ha - too gruesome.
Dreaming What ifs...
public or private school? no hints what soever?
This post and its comments only furthered the reality that I have ZERO knowledge outside of AMerica.
Yeah, I'm not even going to try because I would suck ever so badly.
But I still heart you.
Happy Birthday, Emma!
Happy Birthday to You!
Happy Birthday to You!
Happy Birthday Dear Em-MAH
Happy Birthday to YOU!!!
HAPPY B-DAY EMMA!!!
I membered!
I hope you have a wonderful one!
I could figure it out pretty easily if I weren't so dragged down right now. I also know a fair chunk of English history. Jane the wife wasn't beheaded, she died of illness after having the sickly son who died at an early age.
