Ahhh! It's finally here!
The results.
I have checked periodically throughout the week and it was fun to see the votes coming in for your favorite projects. I swear I am more nervous than anyone else waiting to see who it will be!
I want to thank everyone who took the time to vote, those who created the projects, and the judges for their help in narrowing it down to ten. This contest is always a fun thing to coordinate.
All of you who linked up projects, especially those who made it in the top 10, have inspired people. You have sparked ideas, encouraged, and as a result there will be many projects started this year maybe even by people who haven't ever done a project before. You guys rock! That is what blogging and this contest is all about and I love being even a small part of it.
And for those of you who do a project this year inspired by what you saw here, I encourage you to let the person know and maybe even send them a photo. It will make their day!
I also want to give a HUGE shout out to Ryobi and Home Depot for being such amazing sponsors and for increasing the amounts of the gift cards this year. The winner is going to have quite the shopping spree :)
Alright, now for what you have been waiting for................................................................................................................................................
The winner is Liz from Naptime Decorator for her basement makeover!!!
