If you think, for one moment… that stating May 2nd the winners of the Caption Me! Contest would be announced was a lie .. well.. err… you would be SO wrong. It was a typo, yes a typo. That’s it!( Is anyone else now singing that commercial… it must have been a typo, a typo, a typo… ). Seriously though… I had every intention of announcing the winners then, but the time to format all the entries just wasn’t available to me.
Which is precisely why I decided to award more entries a prize!
There are now 10 winners vs. 3!
Instead of choosing my favorite submissions (really, how is a girl supposed to choose) I used the list randomizer to select the winners – they are shown below in red! The 10 submissions chosen will be receiving a fine art photography print of mine, matted & ready to fit in an 11×14 frame! (Value of $30-$40.00). If your caption appears in red, please email me – khryctee [at] gmail.com – within the next week to receive your prize. I will notify winners if I get a chance — but it’s up to you to contact me so your prize isn’t forfeited! I’ll reply to your email with all applicable info. CONGRATULATIONS!

Oh! Ah! I just received my print today and am I happy. “Love Letter” is a lovely, calming, introspective kind of painting. Thanks so much Chrysti for including your readers in your blog and rewarding us lucky winners like this. Sallyt
Chrysti-thank you so much for “Victorious Soul.” It seems an awful lot for a dumb caption! But, lucky me! I don’t know where I’m going to put it-but that is a happy problem to have, and I’ll have fun deciding. See you in Aug. Gina
very nice pics
I just now realized I won! Darn that Blogarithim, they messed up all of my blog subscriptions, and I am just now getting back in touch. It is well past a reasonable time to claim a prize-just want you to know that I enjoyed all of the responses.
