At midnight (EST) February 25, 2010, this fun give away event officially came to a close. There were a total of 262 comment entries. Based on a random drawing, it was Entry #28 that got pulled from the hat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Counting down from the very top of the comments section at the January 29, 2010 contest blog post, you will see Lupe Meter<\/a> occupying that Comment #28 spot. Congratulations you Lucky Girl!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is what Lupe said in her lucky #28 post…<\/span><\/p>\n

Beautiful pieces of work everyone! Can’t wait to see more pictures. Thanks Cindy for your hard work on coming up with some great tutorials. And this is such a great way to show what everyone else is doing with the tutorials. All I can say is that I am glad to be included with this talented bunch of artists! Wishing everybody the best of luck!

So Lupe you will need to email me with your snail mail address, and I will forward the prize package<\/a> right away. Hopefully when it arrives, you will feel all of the love and energy that went into making the beads for you. It would also be nice if you came back here to let everyone know that your gift arrived safe and sound.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please everyone join me in the comments section below, to congratulate Lupe. Also be sure to congratulate yourself and each other… because you are all winners based on the fact that you participated and learned from the experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

I just want to say that this contest has been a wonderful thing for all of us. No matter who wins the beads, we are all winners because we have stretched our minds and tried techniques that we might not have had the courage to attempt otherwise. Not only did this encourage me to try the techniques in Volume 14, but it also inspired me to try out what Cindy teaches us every week in the latest video. I can’t tell you all how much I am enjoying polymer clay since I found Cindy – I am totally obsessed! The new pieces of jewelry that I’ve made with polymer clay beads have gotten quite a bit of attention when I wear them. I used to get a few compliments on my jewelry. Now, my jewelry causes a commotion! <\/span><\/span>~Linda-K<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whoever wins this contest will be lucky indeed! As so many have said already, though, this is one of those opportunities where everyone who participated won – I can’t tell you how many times I have gone back to the photos. I am richer for having seen how my “classmates” interpreted what Cindy has given us. Thank you all. <\/span><\/span>~Elizabeth-S<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Completely agree with Elizabeth!!!! This has been so much fun. First doing the techniques and then seeing everyone’s work. I feel like I’m in art school again, which I love! I feel young and inspired and excited about creating so I definitely feel like a winner! <\/span><\/span>~Melinda-H<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n
