So who did lil miss Santa picked?

WAIT WAIT....before you do scroll down to find out who won the little blog give-away contest  (depending on how big your monitor is now, I guess there's no use of me saying this coz I bet you just ignored what I just said and went ahead to scroll down huh?) Haha...well, I was just going to say this came as a really daunting task ---- I'm soooo grateful on top of all for YOU, taking a fraction of your time with your greetings & comments & visits on my lil blog and even joined my lil contest craze. I felt all your LOVE that I wanted you ALL to WIN. I mean it. Really. But you all know very well, out of 24 who participated, there's just got to be only ONE winner. So to those who didn't get lucky for now, don't get too sad --- there's always another year to come! Heehee! Or who knows, in between my moodswings, I might just feel too good and throw another contest again! *wink wink*

And you know what --- I never really get too lucky on these kind of things --- so making my own contest was surely a very exciting thing to do!!! (although I did attempt to write my name along to get picked! Haha!)

Enough of me goin' in circles.....

Congratulations to....... 

****drummmm roll again pleaseeee****

Hooorayyyy Shannon!!!! Shoot me an email soon (me@josephinesicadphotography.com) so I could give you the nifty $50 gift card right away and party spend it over at Photojojo!!! I simply can't wait to know what you're planning to get!!! 
♥♥♥

Ho ho ho!!!

"Bri, we need to go out and I need you to dress up a little nice."
"Huh?", Brian rolling his eyeballs.
"I want us to have a quick Christmas portrait shoot --- pleaseee!"
"Why?"
"What? Why do you even ask why? Of course it's for Christmas!"
I was about to cry you can tell. =)

Well that conversation went down the drain at the first attempt of asking him for the portrait. I let it go. That day.
On my 2nd attempt, I was fairly back to the mood of it. And heavens must have heard me, Brian was a lamb to do it --- then there went another relentless conversation...again.

"Brian, will you please smile."
"Why? I'm already acting cool."
"*****I squirmed****"

The truth is, Brian still prefers, if possible, not to be seen on a public blog or the Internet for that matter.
Sometimes it takes me to volunteer to wash the laundry to lure him or most times, he just finds out too late that I already posted one. Ha-ha. *grin*

So okay, Brian is acting all cool, huh? Fine. While I looked like I'm about to bite someone. =)
Oh well, Sorry folks, this is the uncoolest Christmas portrait we can do for now. At least this looks good on the desktop wallpaper. Haha (darn, I forgot to buy those fancy reindeer headbands again!)

Well,  I hope I can still send my message across to wherever you are now ---- from our beating hearts to yours - ENDLESS THANK YOU!

And wait wait....Will you be a lamb too to drop me a comment here in this blogpost and 'Ho ho ho' to me back just so I know you were really here? I know some of you maybe lurking around the site --- don't you think it's about time to come out and say a lil hello to me? *wink wink*

If you do, as this is just a little contest for now, I'm giving away a ---- ***drum roll*** --- $50 gift card that you can party-spend over at Photojojo! Weeeehooo! (it's not really much I know but if I wasn't exempted, I'd still join hahaha. But really, I've been wanting to do something like this (when I'm feeling like a Santa too! Hihi) as a little give-back for your overwhelming support). I'll be picking in random the lucky winner from the comments on Christmas eve! If this little contest goes well, I'd love to do this again on another occasion with more give-aways *hint hint*!

Feel free to tweet or share this on your Facebook wall! =)
Spreadin' la la la loveee! xxx
