My Fall Fabulous contest is on....place your vote!

  

 **UPDATE **There was apparently some kind of glitch on the poll I had used  as of 10:10  so I had to remove prior poll and start anew. Sorry all of the 60 something votes had to be deleted so hope you will come back to vote for your fave!! This is now corrected and you can now place your votes on the poll on the bottom of post. Fingers crossed! This is the first time I am doing a poll, so this is new for me, thanks for your patience, it should be good to go!


Good morning! Well, suffice to say my first contest was a smashing success.Thank you to all who sent in your gorgeous pictures of  the most beautiful landscapes, tantalizing tablescapes, cutest kids, gorgeous artwork, fabulous florals,  precious pets, and many with a funny whimsical spin put on them...I so enjoyed seeing them! I love the fact too that I received entries from as far as France and Australia! I found some in the spam folder and really hope I got in all that everyone sent me and apologize in advance if for some reason any were missed, I worked hard to "find" all of them (I had a week where Google was really temperamental and some things went missing). All I can say is you are one incredibly talented bunch and I am really glad I am not the judge here, there are so many amazing pictures to choose from.

This is going to be fun, but you are really going to have to concentrate hard as you go through the "contestants". There are so many fabulous ones, I really do wish I had a prize for each. I think the best thing to do is to scroll through and maybe try to narrow it down to 2 or 3 that really jump out at you when you keep in mind the theme "Fall fabulous". Then pick a winner and scroll down to my handy little poll below and place your vote. Voting will end on Thursday morning. Thank you for participating, now take a seat and get ready to take in the beauty........


One small note- you may just want to grab a piece of paper and a pen for "note taking"

WOWZA!!!!! I am sorry...I know this is serious sensory overload! I didn't  think I would get this many. I realize there are many many winners here but as this is a contest you can only vote for one :( I will announce a lucky winner on Friday (voting ends on Thursday).  Since I realize this is not an easy decision, choose the one that most jumps out at you when you hear the words "Fall fabulous".

Thanks a million to all the participants and I will soon announce the theme for my next contest in November (think blue and white).  Thanks for stopping in and wishing everyone a fabulous day!

One vote per person per day please.



Let the voting begin..........

  2. Hi Tina, I cannot believe how many great pictures you got. So many good ones, I wish I could have voted for like 10 but narrowed it down to one favorite. All so pretty, we are not feeling fall quite yet here but hopefully soon. Thanks for having this fun contest!

  3. Just gorgeous! This is why I love fall! :)

  4. Amazing array of pictures here. It was very hard to choose just one but I finally decided on one that I though best summed up the fabulous season of fall, my favorite too!

  5. Thank you so much for including my sweet kids! And they even got a vote...and it wasn't me! I voted for 57 because of the family aspect. It really captured my heart. Great idea Tina!

  6. hmmm... For some reason, it is not letting me cast a vote. Says my blogger account (gmail) does not permit me to view this. Is it because I don't have a blog? Because then it wants me to create one. Oh well, at least I enjoyed seeing all the pictures.

  8. Tina so many good pictures. This post has me really excited about fall. Let me scroll up one more time to make sure of my vote:-)

  9. Ooo...I love fall! Some great pics to choose from. After I voted, I checked the results. I found it very odd that all the numbers ending in 3 had the exact same amount of votes. Strange. You were very smart not to judge! Too many good ones! ;)

  10. Tina- so happy you corrected that poll, when I voted I saw 4 others automatically get votes too. This new poll seems much easier and accurate! What a fun idea, you do have some amazingly talented readers. I voted for my favorite, which I knew right off the bat was "fall fabulous" but have to say many of these are winners. I would love to enter your next contest:-)

  13. Wow!!!! Tina these photos are fabulous!!!!!!!!! Stunning landscapes, cute kiddies, beautiful porches. I cannot pick just one. I have to go back and narrow my choice. Have a great day and thanks for hosting such a fun contest.

  14. Stunning... all of them... what a fun idea... I would vote for all of them... but the leaves... "sigh" ... xv

  15. Great images, wow how to pick just one though. I need to go back up and study them some more, am torn between the giant pumpkin, the adorable kids and the beautiful countryside during fall foliage. Tough choice!

  16. Tina,
    So many great fall images. I guess I'd vote for #38...I love to entertain in the fall and this is such a pretty table setting.

  17. Tina! This is so much fun!!!!!! I'm going to go for a run then come back here and check them out again! I am so sorry I didn't enter! I hope you do this again! XOXO

  18. Gosh, so tough - I had to review 3 or 4 times to land on just one, but I think I have to say #41. A bench in the middle of the Jardin du Luxembourg on a crisp fall day - the smell and sound of crunchy fallen leaves -- just add a bag of Pierre Hermé macarons and you have the perfect autumn day in my book! Thanks for all the fall wonder. XOXO

  19. Wow some of these are magnificent! I love the urn with cabbage flowers and the apple pie! YUM!

  26. (Are not 74, and 22 the same?) This was a hard decision, I kept saying "oh!", though I did pin it down to #24.

    ReplyDelete
  27. #81 has jumped almost 50 votes in the last 30 minutes. I sense a scandal.

    ReplyDelete
  28. You're right! That WAS a difficult choice!
