I am so excited to share all of the goodness and fun with you with The Best of 2011. First of all, let me say thank you to all of you! It was an amazing (and close!!) race and I appreciate all of the enthusiasm you had for this year’s contest. It just gets bigger and better each year!
Next, a big THANK YOU to our 2 prize donors, BeeSilk Naturals and Cutie Pie Couture! Jen & Abbie are amazing moms & business women who happen to be clients of mine (they both had kiddos in the running for Best of 2011 this year!). Let me tell you a little about their companies… (and excuse my product shots… they’re not my specialty!)


Jen of BeeSilk Naturals is a chemist who is brilliantly using those talents to create awesome bath, beauty, and body products! I purchased some of her products recently and had the most decadent bath ever! I tried the Nite Cap Bath Tabs (the Bath Cubes of the same flavor are seen front and center above) – they made the water silky without being oily and the scents were so relaxing. I also tried her Rosemary Mint Scrub… amazing as well! I used it to smooth rough elbows and knees… I think this was the first time in my marriage I told my hubby to rub my elbow because it was so smooth afterwards! Ha! I also tried her Whipped Body Frosting in Buttery Cocoa… ultra moisturizing and I went to bed smelling like a brownie. Score! Needless to say, I’m hooked and can’t wait to try more of her products (she sent a ton for me to share, and it’s taken a lot of self control not to keep it all for myself!)
Next up:
Abbie made Bella’s super cute 1st birthday photos dress… remember it (it’s the yellow/purple one)? Abbie was just starting to go into business then, and now she has all kinds of cute stuff for sale for both BOYS and girls. I bold the boys because I know it can be hard to find cute stuff for boys, or so my boy mamas tell me! She’s donated some super cute stuff you’ll see throughout the post… like this dress & bow combo:
“So…” you say… “who’s THE Best of 2011?” Well…
Don’t you want to know what they’re winning? 
They’re getting the session + disc from me, a super cute dress / bow combo from Cutie Pie Couture and some amazing goodies from BeeSilk Naturals:
So… who is it? Well the dress tells you it’s probably a girl… and you’re right… Congrats to our Best of 2011!
Miss B! Our bear! Congrats Mama Chelsea… I’ll have prizes to you ASAP!
Now, this year was closely contested… so much so, I want to give our second place finisher an amazing prize as well! Second place will receive a disc from me for their next session, the pink dress and bow you saw above with the Cutie Pie Couture info, and some BeeSilk Naturals goodies… congrats to…
Miss E and her precious piggies! Mama Meredith, we’ll get your goods to you soon!
Now for some randomly chosen prizes for our nominees…
Winner of this cute shirt by Cutie Pie and some BeeSilk goodies:
#5 – Miss L (sorry Miss L, it may fit your little sister better…) 
And winner of this adorbs shirt and some BeeSilk goodies:
Mr. D and his cake face! Congrats!
Now, the prize-love is not done! I have 11 prize packs from BeeSilk Naturals to give out to voters… tomorrow.
Come back and visit again and I’ll have bunches more to hand out! Congrats to the winners!
