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

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.)
