Hello! So happy to kick off our annual Holiday Love contest where the competition seems to get more fierce with every coming year! So many amazing pictures in both rounds, some real standouts. This single handedly reminds me of why I love the holidays so much, this just does it for me and if you are in need of some beautiful holiday inspiration, then look no further.

Thank you to all who sent in your amazing pictures and I am sorry for those we had to turn away.  We have to cap it at a certain point but no worries,  Spring Love will be here before you know it! So time to take a look at the contestants for round 1. Remember you can vote for your FOUR  favorites, voting will end early tomorrow when round 2 is introduced. We will have the Showdown round on Wed and a grand prize winner announced on Thursday. Thanks for being part of the fun and you definitely will need a pencil and paper! And here we go……

Oh what fun this was! Doesn’t this get you in the holiday spirit!! I could see a beautiful coffee table book made from these amazing pictures. Choosing even four favorites is never easy, and for me often requires several scrolls back and forth. All are winners if you ask me! Thanks for stopping by, be sure to stop in for round 2 tomorrow. Until then…….
