I know I bugged a lot of people over the last month about Chick Fil a, but it ended up being worth it!!  The contest ended last night and we ended up being in 19th place!   We were only hoping to make it to 20th, but made it one step higher!

It was thanks to YOU that we were able to get there!  Thank you to everyone who voted!



As promised, I collected the names of all the participants who posted about my link on Facebook, Twitter, 10 emails, or their blog. Each one of those methods added an extra entry to the drawing.   I ended up with 56 names, some of them doubled and tripled due to their efforts to spread the word!

I put all of the 56 names in a Notepad document, numbered them all....then I went to Random.org, and entered the numbers 1-56, and generated a random number.  The number that came up was 24.





Number 24 was BONNIE from Radical Security!!  CONGRATULATIONS, Bonnie!!!! You win a free pencil portrait!

Now, since so many of you went to so much effort to try to help me spread the word, I didn't want you to go away empty handed.

I decided that I will give a 65 percent discount on ANY of my portraits, to all who voted and tried to get others to vote as well.  This is a unbeatable offer!   See my website for more details on pricing and my work.    This offer will expire on September 31, 2009, so take me up on it while you still can! 

I hope that you all have a blessed week!!!  Thank you so much for putting up with all of my requests for votes!
