Yes, and I even read a book today, thanks to a wonderful customer. I am telling you when we opened these books at the the office we all freaked…and today I started putting one of them to good use! We lived on Pembroke Lane for 12 years. Loved that place, my house was awesome and the backyard was so small and cozy. We’d spend all day inside in the A/C and we’d hang out in the back all night till the wee hours. Now that we have moved, we have been spending all day outside. It is glorious. I’m still trying to get the backyard together for the 435 Saturday night party (detail tomorrow, I promise).
And the best part about it is it is only 5 minute bike ride to Pembroke Lane. So it is still in the great ‘ole neighborhood!
Yes, I know you are waiting to hear the Top 5 (Top 6 actually…because 5th and 6th were within just 1 vote of each other). But for real, you gotta know how hard it was even to pick the top 14. WOW. We are so flattered by all the time and effort you all put into this contest, thank you. It means a lot to us. And of the top 14 you guys voted to make up the Top 5. In random order let me present to you (drum roll)…..
Mallory and Kate, Compliments, Beautiful, Life of a Girl, Patchwork, and Dad
We got a lot of thinking to do and tomorrow we’ll pick ya a winner! And the CoverGirl, my gosh this is hard. I have gone through at least 8-900 photos, read some of the best comments and fell in love with the sweetest girls over the past few days. I still have another tub to go through. Wonder how I pick? Well, I open all the envelopes, read them, lay them out on a table for a while, do whatever, come back to the table, take a few away, and repeat. I then call Joe in to see what he thinks, and then Gabe and then David. We usually all end up at least picking one of the same in every round. Here is a picture after about 10 or so rounds…of all the ones we agreed on together. It’s still on my table waiting to cut back more…and we still have at least 500+ pics to go through!!!
