Hello ladies!
It is time to select the winner for the Ladies' Choice of Diamonds Anniversary Giveaway!
Allow me to introduce our discerning judge, Hans: the lion headed rabbit.
Within a ring of lettuce and beneath a shredded carrot are 836 hand written contest entries.
Here comes Hans!
Hans sizes up the task.
Lettuce and a lion's mane.
And wear a piece of carrot like a mustache. Such a formidable disguise!
He was also willing to eat carrots the old fashioned way, for all to see.
Climbing on the plate proved advantageous.
Hans tipped the plate a bit to further mix the entries.
He makes his way across.
Tirelessly consuming carrot pieces to reveal the names beneath.
Hans approaches a decision.
With a final bite of carrot, he pushes a name to the front.
The winner is *Fleur*!
The winner is *Fleur*!
and settles into sleep, perhaps dreaming of more carrots and good luck.
Congratulations, Fleur! You can read a little more about Fleur at her blog: Fleur's nails & stuff. She's a Slovenian beauty with fine manicure skills and lovely blue eyes.
Many thanks to Diamond Cosmetics for sponsoring this giveaway. There are still two more giveaways left for the Anniversary Celebration. The first of these will appear this weekend.
A special thanks to my niece Shannon for offering her bunny, Hans, to select the winner. Shannon proved to be an adept photographer's assistant as well. Thanks to my sister Claire for help with lighting and preparation.
The drawing for the Bathed, Perfumed and Polished Giveaway will commence next week.
Happy painting, ladies!
