I'm a runner up!!!!!

Not a finalist, nor a winner ... but my oh my

I'll gladly take runner up for a
Washingtonian Magazine Contest any day!

Along with four others I ended up being a runner up!!!
This just made my week.

10 days ago my best friend sent me a link to a photo contest she thought I should take a look at or even enter. And so I took her advice and entered. I didn't think much would happen and to be honest I actually forgot about it since entering the contest so this was such a surprise.

Check out the finalist and place your vote,

or see the work from the other runner ups!

Suffice it to say we love our city.

Moon & Stars

This has been a long time coming ... but I'm finally able to share the

solutions I came up with and sent to our Rini & Faith contest winner.

Contest Winner

The winning idea for Rini & Faith's "Halo-Halo" Win Contest is:

Congrats to Sara !!!

Sorry I've kept you waiting all morning ... I just got in from running errands, hoping I'd get done by noon but ran a few minutes late. Both my sister and I agreed on this solution quite easily and though we adored a handful of other ideas Moon & Stars was our #1 pick!!!

Thank you soooo much for everyone who shared their creative and fun ideas and for taking part in our first contest. Our decision was based solely on the ideas themselves and because we loved so many that were entered we might just go ahead and explore some of the ideas and construct them anyways. If we do happen to construct your ideas later on down the road we'll let you know and we also have something special in mind for you if your ideas are used!

Here are our other TOP 5 favorite pairs {in no particular order}, so don't be surprised if you see these ideas up in the Rini & Faith shop in the near future.

- Camera & Smile {Entered by Jolene}

- Thing 1 & Thing 2 {Entered by Jordan Nalos}

- His & Hers {Entered by Jordan Nalos}

- Love & Birds = Lovebirds {Entered by Monica Gruber}

- Retro headphones & Speakers {Entered by Kheem Frias}

Thank you to everyone once again and

CONGRATS to our contest winner: Sara!

It's midnight !!!

But no winner just yet, sorry ... hehe ...Suspenseful, I know. {this was way harder than I thought} There are sooo many good ideas to choose from!! But we {yes BOTH Rini & Faith .. me and sister dearest} have narrowed it down to our Top 5.

I don't want to share which those are just yet, but I did bring out my sketch book to explore how I'd construct my 5 favorite ideas. But even with drawing them out the decision is quite tough. I think narrowing it down to 5 is an accomplishment in it's self so the only thing left to do right now is sleep on it and choose a winner in the morning. Hopefully I'll be able keep these ideas on a leash for a few hours to get some rest. Please bear with me and I'll see you all in the morning!

Tomorrow...

I'll be posting the winner of Rini & Faith's
"HaloHalo Win" contest!!!!

Thank you to everyone who joined in on the fun

and shared their awesomely, amazing and fun ideas.
