Winner Announced : New Zealand Workshop Seat

I was actually a little nervous emailing my friends on Sunday morning. I spent a good part of the day organizing submissions for the New Zealand Workshop Contest, and then sent an email to the judges (my friends) in hopes of the best. I actually just sent photos because I wanted the judging to be based on the photo alone…because, really, some of the written entries were SO DANG NICE!!! Seriously, Internet, you make my heart melt into one big puddle of mush. Thank you. Seriously.

A huuuuge THANK YOU goes to everyone who entered the contest…I'm honored so many took time out of your lives to take a chance…I hope to make it up to everyone who played! 🙂 It's with great pleasure to announce Kate Robinson as the WINNER! Her photo consistently ranked high on everyone's list and when everything was complete, she came out on top…congrats, Kate!

I'd be remiss if I didn't post a few other contest pictures…they just brought a smile to my face…
Matt of Pearls Photography was pretty awesome. Any guy that can stylize his jacket with a star gets bonus point from me…and he just seems like an overall cool guy!

Janet of North of 55 Photo…she made a startand look gorgeous while do so…rock it out, Janet! 😉

Daniela of Spoonful of Daniela…she actually convinced people at her church to create a human star! Talk about dedication! 🙂

Cathy Graphy…my name….in LIGHTS! 😉

Jo Carr…at first I didn't get the photo (hush, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed!). But then she added the caption “Jasmine Star Rocks”. Too funny!

Chloe Atnip of Photos by Chloe…bonus points for anyone who'll paint their face. I mean, really?! Chloe, you made me feel like you were cheering for my sports team…and I loved it! 🙂

There are a still a few seats open for the New Zealand Workshop, so if you'd like to rock out the New Year in Christchurch with me and JD, we'd love to meet you there! And for those Aussies who asked if I'd be teaching another workshop in Australia, I'm afraid I won't be able to. If you'd like to join us as we party with Kiwis, click here to get more into!

Happy Monday!
