Whew, what a crazy round of voting that was!  So much fun-and I've painstakingly broken it down into the top 3 for each section (thank goodness google docs summarize responses!)  So please take the time to vote for the final winner from the three below!

Step 1: Nominations - Complete!

Vote for one person in each category.  Since this is just voting I've made all categories mandatory-so if you don't know any of them in the category feel free to go ahead and check out their links and choose, or feel free to just choose one, however you prefer to do it.  (I hope you'll take the time to get to know them though-that's half of what this is all about! :)

If you did not make it to the top 3 please don't be sad.  I promise you were SO close-why? Because EVERYONE was so close. The voting was very tight this year (with nearly 300 voters) so some people barely made it in over others!  I recommend you go ahead and still vote, and I really hope you feel awesome for making it into the nominations overall.  You are amazing!

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS IS ALL IN GOOD FUN.  There were some concerns shared last year about people inflating numbers, etc. But guys, this is just a fun little thing... Please don't stress about it in anyway.  Here are some simple do's and don'ts.

• DO vote for someone in each category. Take the time to find new blogs, or just select someone.
• DO feel free to vote for yourself.
• DO feel free to vote for your friends.
• DO feel free to grab the button button above and post it on your blog, sidebar, etc. linking back here.
• DO ask your friends to vote for you.
• DON'T go through and vote multiple times just to vote for yourself.  I mean-that's super time consuming.

Enter to win a $25 Etsy Gift Card.  Giveaway runs from 7AM MST 2/19/15 and ends at 11:59PM MST on the last day of voting, 3/19/15.  Giveaway is open worldwide, and entering the giveaway below agrees to all terms and conditions within the Rafflecopter.
