Anyway moving onto less stressful topics, the response to the Blue and White Love contest was just incredible. Can you believe I got just under 2000 votes!!!!! There were so many fabulous entries, it made choosing very difficult and really they are all winners in my book....any fan of blue and white is a friend of mine:)
So thank you to each and every one of you who took the time to send in your beautiful pictures, I so enjoyed them as I know everyone else did too. Thanks to the user friendly wonderful reliable poll services of Polldaddy, we have two winners (one for each round). I was going to originally have a "showdown" between the two but decided they each deserve a prize:)
And here are the winners.......
Round 1, congratulations goes to-
Sinead who sent in this lovely photo of her back patio all decked out in blue and white
An honorable mention for a very close 2nd place goes to this beautiful shot from Katie
And for round 2, congratulations goes to......
This wonderful shot from Susan of a darling pooch who clearly loves his blue and white too!
And a very close 2nd and honorable mention goes to this gorgeous kitchen
To the two first place winners......Please contact me to claim your prize, your choice of one of these wonderful blue and white items!
Many thanks again to all who sent in their pictures as well as all those who participated in the voting. My next contest will be officially announced next week but put your thinking caps on, the theme will be "Hoorah for the holidays" and it can be interpreted any way you wish:)

Tina those four winners sure do show what a beautiful lineup of pictures you got, I had voted for two of them so guess I was on the right track. I so enjoyed seeing all the many pictures and variations on how to use blue and white (and got some great ideas too).I love all your new items, I am emailing you about a few things and so upset I missed out on the chargers!
