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!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that bunny is SO cute! Congratulations Fleur!
ReplyDeleteLove the bunny! Hans puffy cheeks are adorable! I have a dwarf rabbit named Harvey. It took about four years for me to get him to eat carrots, lettuce, or anything fresh. He only wanted to eat his pellets and timothy hay. Every other rabbit owner I've talked to says their rabbits love the fresh veggies and hate hay and pellets. Harvey loves parsley, carrots and lettuce now, but he's still very stubborn about trying anything new.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Fleur! You make choosing the winner so much fun to see. Bunnies are so adorable. I had one once but he kept escaping the cage. The real problem besides the pooping all over was the eating of any cords. He chewed through the answering machine cord and started on the telephone cord. So afraid he'd be electrocuted. He got out of the door one day and escaped. I'm afraid my Father did that. Whenever he didn't like an animal, cats, they'd disappear. He either took them to the Navy Yard where they'd be fed by all of the workers there. Or they'd be let out of the door. We had an acre of ground so I don't know where they would get to. When I got a bit older and found out what he did I threw a big fit! No more disappearing animals.
ReplyDeleteHans is Handsome!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd big congrats to Fleur!!!!
