Contest Winners...

I know that all of you have been waiting patiently for the winners of our current contest.  There were a few mix-ups with the voting so I had to give it a little time.  Well, you don't have to wait any longer because the results are in:

The winners of The Best of 2008 contest are:

1st Place is image #3.  Miss H wins a trio frame with 3 - 5x5 pictures in it. 

2nd place is #28.  Miss N wins a $30 gift certificate for Misty's Portraits.

3rd place is #7.  Miss H wins a $30 gift certificate towards Misty's Portraits.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this contest.  When I initially thought about this contest I told my husband that I would be so happy if 50 people voted.  Well, the number of people who voted was 5 times my expectations.  I just can't believe that I got 250 votes for my image contest!  I'm truly WOWED!!!  I hope that you enjoyed the contest and I will be doing it again next year so if you'd like to be a part of the best image contest you will need to book a photo shoot sometime in 2009.

Now, let me just tell you that I didn't have an easy way to pick the winner of the voting contest.  So, I wrote every name, yes a little over 200 names and then put them in a hat and picked out a name.  It was very time consuming but I wanted it to be fair.  Honestly, I wasn't expecting that many votes. (not that I'm complaining.)  Next time I'll use a company on the internet to pick them.  =)  Well, the winner that I picked is: 

Alesha Pichler

A free sitting fee

and 

A free Trio Frame with 3 - 5x5 pictures

Congrats Alesha Picheler!!!  =)
