Today is VOTING DAY! Are your button clicking fingers prepped and ready? Best do a couple warm-up stretches. We don’t want to pull anything.
If you need a quick review, you can find all the projects here in rounds ONE, TWO, and THREE.
Ok! So all twelve projects are in the running for three separate categories. This is the first time I’ve ever done this contest, so bear with me as I’m kind of making it up as I go. I hope these categories make sense!
Please vote for your choices only once. (Or in other words, please don’t vote for the same project across all three categories.) I am hiding the results, mainly because I would hate for anyone to feel sad if their project didn’t do well vote-wise. I think they are all 1000% awesome, and I hope you did too!
First up is “Most Creative.” Not the catchiest of names, but pretty self-explanatory. Vote for the project you feel went above and beyond creatively, and/or the person who really looked at their item in an entirely new way, perhaps a way that would have never occurred to you.
Next is “Best Case of Using What Ya Got.” Award your vote to the participant who you think made the most out of a difficult item. They were all pretty difficult items. Choose wisely!
Thirdly, “The Better After Award” is the grand numero uno. The crowd-pleaser, call you husband into the room, jaw-dropper, hands-down favorite. Ooooh, which will you choose?!
So let’s get started! I feel like we need some fanfare here. Please imagine a drum-roll and a t-shirt cannon. Thanks.

June 11, 2015 at 9:59 AMI voted for my favourite three (althought I’m not sure which were my definitely ONLY three favourites), one for each category, so I hope people who like them too, voted for them in the same categories so they don’t compete with each other… what a difficult decision!!!
I really enjoyed this contest, and at every entry I thought what would I had done with each piece before checking the after picture…which was a really exciting game!!
I hope there are more contests in the future. Congratulations to all participants and thanks to everyone who’s made this possible 🙂
