and the winner is...the one and only Skye Johansen.
I am so excited about pHoTo LoVe. It was such great fun to see all the creative sparks. Dang, maybe when Skye comes visit she can teach me a thing or two? Yup, Skye just won and all expense trip for 2 to Dress Rehersal in January. She will one of the first to see the spectacular Spring Collection, so excited about this. We love to show off 435. And the 3 runner ups will receive $300 gift certificates to Matilda Jane.
This has been such a great contest and thank you to all the photographers and to all you voters!
Congratulations Skye. The photo is beautiful and you deserve it. It was such a blessing to be chosen to be a part of the contest. May God bless each of you.
God Bless!
