Wow!!! What I've learned is that everyone who voted is very passionate about which cards they voted for! I know this because almost every vote had lots of !!!! :) And actually, that made me smile because I'm always super conscious of the fact that I use a lot of !!! when I write. Phew! Now I know I'm not alone.
Congratulations to the three business card winners: Melissa Davis Interior Design, Mustard Moon, and Red Dog Barkery!
Melissa Davis is a mom and wife and followed her childhood passion for decorating and creating and turned it into an interior design business. Having trouble with color choices in your home? Melissa offers an affordable e-design consultation to help you tackle those tough decisions. In her spare time, Melissa writes about design, inspiration, and more on her blog, Glittered Dreams.
Congratulations, Melissa!
I first met Jane of Mustard Moon, many years ago, at the very first Country Living Fair in Chicago. I immediately fell in love with her bubbly personality and coveted her score - a huge stack of old diner wall cards, many for pies.
Jane operates Mustard Moon in Carver, Minnesota - a shop specializing in vintage, antique, and great finds - which is open 3 days each month. And from what I hear, it's pretty amazing. I will definitely visit some day and encourage you to as well!
Congratulations, Jane!
Mindi is the founder of Red Dog Barkery, which began as a quest for healing after the loss of her beloved dog, Abu. Mindi's first creations were homemade all natural dog treats. The success with that line grew into the addition of handmade collars, leashes and bedding.
I think Red Dog Barkery's motto sums it up best: For the love of dog.
You can read Mindi's newsletter here. Congratulations, Mindi!
All three winners will receive a surprise prize pack, from me! (Jenny Doh's Signature Styles book (featuring my craft space), 2 tickets to The Farm Chicks Antiques Show, and some fun Farm Chicks stickers!)
And, as promised, we've randomly selected one voter as the winner of a surprise prize pack as well. The winner is: Rebecca who writes the Our Busy Little Bunch Blog. Congratulations, Rebecca!

Thank you to all who participated - entrants and voters. You're all winners to me. xoxo
I almost fell out of my chair when I saw I was a finalist! Just to be chosen is such a huge honor, and I truly love the contest idea. What a fun way to celebrate the uniqueness of a company/blog/website. I would have LOVED to win tickets to the show, but my Mom and I will be there regardless. Can't wait! Congratulations to the winners!

I loved all the cards! Thank you for having mine in the finalist also! I enjoyed going to all the sites and "meeting" all the other very creative women. I told someone that we are all kindred souls, so much alike in so many ways. I felt like I went on a holiday visitng the different sites. Congrats to the winners, but I feel we all were winners in this! Great Site Serena and thank you!

All such pretty cards!!!
I wish I could add some more "zing" to mine...but all those extras cost money! I hand out my biz. cards like they are going out of style at the farmers market and just can't justify the cost at this point of my business "life". BUT I enjoy seeing everyones pretty cards!

Still can't believe I shared the spotlight with such creative, amazing women!!! Didn't take long to realize I was the only finalist without a blog, website, brick & mortar or etsy shop. Guess its time for this "vintage" gal aka:senior to come out of retirement and do more than an occassional flea market!!! Thank you Serena and all who voted for me...
