Dr. Big and Bandwidth have climbed the Matterhorn, but they swear that judging this photo contest was tougher--and it isn't over until midnight tonight. Here are the finalists (so far):
Sidewalk Shoes.
Hoosier Homemade
Two Hot Potatoes.
Live Love Laugh.

The contest ends at midnight tonight.
Two runners up will win Le Creuset prep bowls:
The winners will be announced tomorrow.
I'm in a fun loving mood, so a new photo contest starts at midnight and ends Thursday, April 15th at midnight. The rules are a little different--well, not different but BIGGER. This time the subject isn't just food but includes house and garden photographs (tablescapes, vignettes, flowers).
The 2 galleries are:
1. Foodie Friday -- this is for food photographs
2. Design Gallery -- design, tablescapes, vignettes, gardening, flowers, nature
You can submit as many photos as you want. Beneath each one, leave the comment, "Photo Contest Entry." Please add your blog link and any photo tips--it's easy to visit and blog hop that way.
The grand prize will be a picnic basket for two:
Runners up will win tablecloth weights . . .
and . . .
Le Creuset cups.
If you are linking your recipe to Foodie Friday this week, Mr. Linky awaits your information (permalink, your name, recipe title).
Wow, I don't envy anyone having to choose from those great photos. They are fabulous! Good luck to all :)

ReplyDeleteMichael, I just figured out how to get my entries into the Foodie Gallery..I hope that is the right way to enter!
ReplyDeleteMichael, I love linking to Foodie Friday each week. It inspires and motivates me to get creative in the kitchen regularly! So, thanks for hosting and for all your beautiful ideas!
ReplyDeleteIt feels as if I've been away from blogging a year, not just a couple of weeks. My mom has gotten enough better that tonight I could actually function well enough to read a few. I haven't cooked since I left home...although I did take a couple of food photos on our breaks from the hospital. Maybe I will post them tomorrow. It was really fun to see all the food photos tonight, it made me feel like I was living my "real life" again. Thanks!
