Turns out Frances entered the contest 32 times, and it definitely paid off! I called her yesterday to tell her the great news. She was in her car, and I think a little bit in shock. When I hung up, it occurred to me that this could be taken as a really bad April Fool's joke. Which is why I had decided to post the winner today.
And I have to say THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY. My sister (who by the way, went through PAINSTAKING efforts to make sure that THIRTEEN THOUSAND entries got counted fairly, THANK YOU KELLY!) and I were on the phone together thinking about how cool it was that we are about to drop a bucket of happiness onto an unsuspecting stranger. I want to do it again. And while (unfortunately) we can't always give away prizes on this scale, I'm thinking we might start some sort of give-away day here, so stay tuned!
And a million THANK YOUs to everyone who participated by blogging or tweeting or facebooking or joining our fan page. Truly. I can't even tell you how appreciative we are of everyone.
And if you're wondering about Frances, she is a very sweet stay at home mom with a passion for photography, who is currently a Nikon shooter. Although I have a feeling this might make a her a convert. :)

Happy Easter everyone! xo
