The Great Tie-Breaker Post

I took these pictures last November on leaf-raking day.

Congratulations to michelle, Steve G. and Dawn!

Each posted a comment in almost every card design in the STIFF COMPETITION for a free family session.

I went through and re-checked all the posts and found that Steve G. missed one, michelle missed one, and Dawn missed one. It was a very hard contest, I admit! Thank you all SO much for playing!

To show my appreciation to you for keeping that eagle eye on my blog, each of you may take 30 percent off the creation fee of your next family session! All you have to do to redeem this little “coupon” is reference me back to this blog post when it comes time for you to book your session. Just click the title of the post, then copy and paste the url of the blog post into your email message to me at the time of your booking. The coupon never expires!

So, this post is for bob and Stacey — the two remaining contenders in the competition for a free family session. CONGRATULATIONS, BOB AND STACEY! YOU ARE FINALISTS!

Bob and Stacey posted comments in every one of my card designs! WOW!!!!!

Thank you to ALL my readers for checking out my blog and helping me boost my google rankings!

Every time you visit my blog, google counts you as “traffic” to my site, and the more traffic a site gets, the more popular google thinks it is! Plus, every time a reader posts a comment, my site gets “updated” with fresh content in google’s eyes. This is another factor that keeps my site high in the rankings. Thank you to ALL my blog readers who give me lots of traffic and post comments! You’re the BEST!!!

So, on with the show, er, uh, the contest…

Bob and Stacey…

…to win the free family session, you must follow the directions EXACTLY.

1. Your response must be correct, as judged by me. If neither responds correctly, the one with the CLOSEST answers wins.

2. You must EMAIL your responses to me in the form of questions, like on Jeopardy, before midnight, May 8. My email address is shown on the blog, and within my main web site.

Here are the Jeopardy-style answers, both with visual hints within this blog post:

A) A non-growing item of special significance in the Tree Grower’s Diary.

B) The number of leaf bags Bradley, Gregory and Gabe accumulated on November 26, 2007.

Good luck, and there is no guarantee that ALL the leaf bags are shown in the picture!

One more thing: A very special thanks to Brad, Gabe and Greg for all that raking! You guys are the BEST!!!!!
