And the winners are…
Well first, my goodness I can hardly believe how many lovely comments there were on my 2nd blogiversary post! I was totally shocked & very pleasantly surprised at how many of you came out of hiding to say hi. Seriously Ben & I joked about how many comments we thought I would get & we were both totally off, I got way more than either of us expected. Thank you all for your sweet words & if you de-lurked feel free to stay de-lurked, it would make my February! (And with how cold it is, I could use a happy February!)
Anyways, since there were so many comments I decided to pick 4 winners. 1 person will get the pleated bag, 1 person will get the lap blanket, & 2 people will get something small that will remain a surprise for now (in fact it is such a surprise that I haven’t even made anything yet & am not totally sure what I will send. :)
Via Random.org, the winners…
“Here are your random numbers:
51 97 34 75
Timestamp: 2008-02-01 23:35:14 UTC”
So Angela won the purse, Mariah won the lap blanket, and Capello & Amanda were the surprise winners :) Congrats ladies! If you could each send me an email with your address, I will try to get those out to you soon. Thanks again to everyone else who commented, it was really hard to limit the drawing to only 4 people believe me…
The 3 photos in this post are from the snowstorm we had last night… I wandered out this morning to take a few photos in my rainboots (since I don’t own any winter boots) of the freshly fallen snow. All 3 photos were post-processed in Photoshop Lightroom, I just was having too much fun messing around with making & using presets:) (Does anyone else have Lightroom? I am sort of thinking that maybe eventually I will post some of my presets that I use frequently on my website if there is any interest?)
Oh and since it is the beginning of February, I thought I would post a mosaic of my January Project 365 shots… (I am planning on doing this at the end of each month, since I am not sharing every 365 photo on my blog. Although if you want to follow along with the photos I am taking you can visit my 365 flickr set.)

I love the 365 project and your photos are so lovely. I can’t wait to see all 365(6?) of them.
The photos are all lovely, lovely, lovely!! Really, you have a good eye, no Great eye for photography. I just love those snowy ones. So moody and yet warm, despite the snow.
Good job getting all those comments! It’s no wonder that people love stopping by here. My comments are no where near the number of subscribers I have. hmmm.
i love the bike photo! wish we had snow here! have a lovely weekend!!
I really liked the bike photo as well. Schwinn- someone has good taste! How long have you been interested in photography? These pictures look fabulously professional.
As always - here I am, late to the party!
However, I did want to wish you a very happy Bloggy Birthday! (and hee! on teh internets, we’re the same age!)

i think our snow missed us and hit you. you welcome OR my apologies.
i’m jealous of your rain boots. it’s official: i need rain boots.
i don’t have lightroom but the people that i know have it seem to really love it a lot. how does it differ from photoshop? cause dang, photoshop pisses me off sometimes.

Chara - i LOVE that picture of your boots. they’re all good, really. but i love those colors. stunning!
It looks very cold where you are! Very nice photographs. :) And your rainboots are cute!

You mean I actually won something ? Really ? For once in my life I won something !
I had to laugh about the rainboots, same here. I dont own any snowboots, but I have a really funky pair of rainboots that come in handy during the winter time….
Well groovy for the winners and we’re really all winners cause you’re still online going strong :)
i love the picture of your rainboots! i agree with capello: i officially need to find some now. :)
I know your sick of the cold and snow but your winter shots are fabulous.
I like your mosaic. :)
