Two, actually!

First, thank you to everyone who participated in our contest!  We appreciate your help, spreading the good news of our blog – I’m having fun!  I hope that you’re learning more about your camera and how to use it – and more importantly, having fun in the process!

I’m sorry about the delay in posting – I had grand plans to photograph the huge bucket of entries and to video tape the draw, but we had a slight family emergency last night and those plans were hastily replaced with a decidedly unceremonious draw tonight just prior to writing this post!  But while I couldn’t share the process with you, the end result is the same!

The winner of our contest is…

Michelle K on January 27th, 2010
