Well we finished in decent shape in the Ideablob contest. Top 95%. But not in the top 2. The winning ideas all came off as much more noble than ours. For example lots of people funding AIDS orphanages and helping people with disabilites. Good luck and great job to the finalists. Thanks for all your support and votes!
We will keep being creative in our search for funding.
It looks like Cap Trappers we also were not a grant winner in the Whirlpool Mother of Invention contest. The website mentioned winners would be notified by mail on or around September 8th. I guess I will hold out a small glimmer of hope for the next day or two. But I better call the "Maytag Man" because my washing machine did give out. Bummer.
I will put up the link when Whirlpool announces the winners on their website in a week or two.
t h e m a y f i l e s is foremost a family blog, chronicling everyday life. Life including natural, healthy eating (with recipes thrown in at random), home educating (with ideas popping up sporadically), an attempt to homestead on .2 acres (with very meager yields), raising 3 of 4 children with a rare genetic disorder, and lots of highly personal family triumphs and failures. You may also find an eclectic array of musings on politics, exercise, sewing, emergency preparedness, backyard chickens, and religion. This blog isn't a campaign to glorify anyone or anything. Just simply a record.

Rebecca,
You can still make the ideablob finals by having the most overall votes of those who haven't made it so far or trying for another sprint. If people continue to vote for you you might start to bubble up again.
Don't give up hope on the Whirlpool contest! Seriously, your idea embodies everything the contest represents. I bet they are just keeping the anticipation going...
