| The winners of the Pinkeeper Contest can't be announced as scheduled because Meg and I have a five-way tie going for best of show!!!!! We do know that the Idaho City Farmgirls won for most entries from a chapter. Stay tuned. Meg and I are having a hard time deciding. Your entries were all so good!!!! We were thinking we should have come up with a dozen different categories from the get-go--humor, cute, frugal, unique, antique, etc. We feel like we need a couple more days. Sorry. |

Mary Jane and Meg, You can categorize them...LOL Then we can have many "best of shows"
There really are some unique pinkeeps, aren't there?...I'd say you've accomplished a bunch by making it to a five-way tie!!

Hi gals!
We're very excited to announce our Pinkeeper Contest winners! You can find a link to the list of winners on our home page under the "About Us" category, or just go directly here:
http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/contest/index.html
Congratulations to all the winners and a big thank you to everyone who participated in the contest - we loved all the entries!!!
Even though the contest is over and you're posting photos of the new pinkeepers you're making on this thread, we'd like to encourage you to get them posted in the Pinkeeper Gallery too. After you post your photo here, just send your photo in an e-mail to contest@maryjanesfarm.org and we'll post it in the gallery!
Thanks gals!

Oh my, my, my!!!! 
I'm smiling...can you tell...RITFLOL
Thank you Mary Jane and Meg for choosing my pinkeeper as one for the Honorable Mention area of the contest..
I truly am just so honored that you choose a "dream kingdom design"...I spend all of my days and nights designing and it's just such a thrill for one of them to be recognized 
And the name that you gave it so good!! "Farmgirl Diving"
I don't see the gallery up right now...Are you going to post the other notable winners pictures also?
I've got another pinkeep just about finished so I'll add in this topic and email it on to you in a few days!
I sure hope I can be part of the Mary Jane party with Karin over in Georgia...she is only 129 miles from me!! We have another Honorable Mention besides myself that is in the south US also...It is Gail and I believe she is in Chattanooga, Tennessee...I'm only about 50 miles from her
Congratulations Karin!!!!! I want to come to your Mary Jane party, Ok?
Congratulations to the Farmgirl Chapter and also to the other Farmgirls with Honorable Mentions! Go Farmgirls!!!
...til next time ~ queenofdreamsz

Mary Beth,
I use either the real soft polyester filling (it feels like silk to the touch) and it compacts very well without get lumpy or I use unspun wool (sheep wool and angora goat (mohair) so far....I'll try anything once to see what happens..LOL

Stephanie, right now the material is just stuffed inside the froggie pot. It is ceramic and I am thinking I will use some kind of crafters glue. What do you use for pincushion filler?

Hey Fran,
YOu mean your email was returned to you with that message attached?
I've had trouble getting through before so just try sending it again...sometimes there can be a server problem either direction or their mailbox could be full..doubtful so I would just resend it til it goes through
