And The Winner Is…

…Me!
All I can say is Wow! I am completely thrilled, and very pleasantly surprised to find out that I’m the winner of 5 Minutes for Mom’s Ultimate Blog Party Design Contest!
I know that I had the voting help of a lot of friends and family, and hopefully a few of my readers here as well. Thank you so much for those of you that voted!
To be honest, I didn’t think I stood a chance, because the comments on the original design contest post did not seem to favor me at all.
Apparently it was a very tight race, though - I won by ONE, yes 1 point. LOL.
There were a lot of great designs posted in the contest, so again, I’m thrilled to be the “official” designer for this year’s Blog Party!
I submitted several different sizes, but the two official banners are below. I’ll be creating a few more sizes for these - including the “Welcome” banner for the event itself. I hope that you get involved with the Utimate Blog Party - it sounds like a lot of fun!
Thanks again to everyone who voted for me - you’ve certainly made my day! And special thanks to From the Park Bench for encouraging me to enter the contest in the first place!
Edit: Here are the final banners that were submitted after some slight modification…
Note: I also submitted a Welcome banner for the event, which is exclusive to 5 Minutes for Mom. You can view that one here.

I voted for you! I don’t think I’ve been to your site before, but I loved the bright pink with black. I almost voted for one that was brown & pink, funny if I did, there would have been a tie

@All - Thank you so much for all the congratulations!
@Joshua - LOL, so it was YOU who pushed my vote over the edge! Thank you so much!!!
As a side note, and obviously in reference to much more important voting going on right now… This only goes to show what a difference just one vote can make!
No matter who you are rooting for in the upcoming elections, I urge you all to go out and vote!
And that is my public service announcement for the day.
