Hello everyone!! I have soooooo missed being in my happy place, my blog:) Had a wonderful and oh so relaxing vacation…..which I will tell you more about later in the week. In the meantime we have a contest to get started!<\/p>\n

The day has come for round one of HOLIDAY LOVE! I got in so many wonderful pictures, each one so expressive of what this holiday is all about, you can feel? love jumping off the page:) I said I would cap it at 70 pictures? and bent the rules ever so slightly by allowing 80 and regret having to turn away some who were too late, but each post can handle so many images. so I am sorry for anyone who submitted and I could not accept them, hope you will consider the? next contest in the spring. Lots of beautiful inspiration here.<\/p>\n

So you know the drill, choose your two top faves and vote. Round 2 will be posted tomorrow and then we will have a showdown on Thursday with a grand prize winner being announced on Friday.? This is not an easy choice, a pen and paper would be a great idea. A few things to? keep in mind-<\/p>\n

Readers were allowed to send in 2 pictures, so you might see 2 that look a lot alike<\/p>\n

If you do not see your picture here and got an acknowledgement from me, it will be in round 2<\/p>\n

? Let the fun begin……<\/p>\n

So very many lovely pictures all that depict “holiday love” so well. It is a tough choice, but remember you can choose your two top faves and be sure to come back for round two tomorrow. The winner from each round will be announced on Thursday with a “showdown” with the two finalists. A grand prize winner will be announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to everyone who sent in their beautiful pictures and so sorry to any whose I had to turn away, I even went a bit over my 75 picture limit but had to stop at a point. Thank you for stopping in and participating in the voting……..enjoy your day and hope your new year is off to a fabulous start!<\/p>\n
