{this beautiful life} winners!


After more painful deliberation and asking everyone under the sun which ones they thought should win...
...and generally making a nuisance of myself while I wallowed in the throes of indecision...
....and being told by my brother Benjamin that I just needed to just "bam! decide!"
...and being told my one of my friends that I needed to feel empowered
and believe in myself and just know in my heart the truth.. (?) and then make a decision...
...and after teetering on the brink of indecision even as I sat down to write this post...

Here are the winners of the 
{this beautiful life} photography contest!



The first-place winner is 
Ellen!

I just kept coming back to this photo. Such striking color and composition.
Ellen will be receiving the red polka-dot camera strap cover from Studio MCA Designs.




The second-place winner is 
Theresa!

Amazing color, amazing editing, amazing clarity. And I love the tiny dewdrops.
Theresa will be receiving the lovely necklace from A Lost Feather.




...and the third-place prize goes to 
Anna

Can you tell that I am a sucker for gorgeous colors? I love the contrast of the intense colors in this photo. 
And you gotta love old barns.
Well, maybe you don't have to. But I sure do.
Anna will be receiving this spunky camera strap from Sizzle Straps.


Thank you,
everyone who participated!
I had way too much fun looking through all of your creative entries. 
Although, the choosing was undeniably gory.
I think I'll be okay after a good night's rest.

And a big huggy thank-you to our generous sponsors,
who made this contest a whole bunch more fun.

Winners--email me with your shipping info!
