Poll results are in, we have winners!

The results are in...and it's a TIE! I guess that means I'll paint two paintings.

The owners of both these GORGEOUS pictures will get first dibs at buying the painting AND a free print from http://stores.ebay.com/rachels-studio

Pant Pant. I still haven't finished the dog from the last one. But I will! (I'm a determined little artist)

I think this will be the last poll until January 6th, so be uploading those photos to either the yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rachelsstudio or the facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=41565211540

The next poll you need to be uploading for is any cat other than a siamese. As my groups are getting HUGE, not everyone that uploads a picture will get into the vote. Just the ten best, so practice those photography skills!!

And now for the fun part...

The WINNER of the random drawing is Yahoo Group Member Vanassa

(Both facebook and yahoo members were included in the drawing if they have been active in the last month in my groups)

Let's Vote!

New Poll

OK - so you can't have it all. I like this poll because you can see the picture and cast your vote, and you don't have to jump around websites. The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't see who voted, so I can't do a random drawing of voters! But hey, at least it still involves all my members by using your pictures!! If anyone has a better idea of how to do this DO tell! Of course, if your photo wins, I will paint it and give you a free print, plus you'll have first dibs at buying the painting!

Which picture should be Rachel's next painting?

• Butterfly Kiss
  
• Lovebird
  
• Horse
  
• Horse Love
  
• Palms at Sunset
  
• Swans
  
• Flower
  
• Mallard
  
• Wood ducks

Tinkering with polls...

Hello all - I'm tinkering with my poll process because I want to streamline it. I've been doing my polls through yahoo, but that's a pain because it's cumbersome to people to sign up there, look at photos on blogger, then go to yahoo to vote. I could do polls here on blogger but they don't allow me to collect the names of the voters, so there is no way to do a random drawing. I'm thinking that I may move my polls to facebook. There, I can create a poll with just the pictures, so you don't have to go back and forth from yahoo to blogger. I've started a group there and I think that may be an easier place to house my group. Join me on my facebook group at ...

Be sure to watch for my next poll, which I plan to launch Tuesday! I'm going to send invitations to all the people that have participated in the poll to join facebook so watch for that!

Poll winners!

Winner of the poll - mdmsiamese!! Mdmdsiamese gets first dibs on the original painting and a free print. Tonyamouse has won the random drawing for a free print of her choosing. Below is the winning image. Click on it to see the print!

For a chance to win a free print, participate in the current poll running below. Once you vote, your name will be automatically entered into the drawing! Just click on the link to vote. You will need to join my yahoo group to participate. I NEVER sell your info to advertisers! Once you are a member of my group, you'll also get updates whenever I finish a new painting and have offers exclusively for my group members.

New Poll!

The winner of the siamese poll will be announced soon. In the mean time, let's vote for the next painting! If you had a dog in one of your files in my yahoo group, it should be in the list below. If you had more than one, I chose just one out of your file. Two winners will be chosen: the owner of the winning picture and a randomly drawn member who participated in voting. That winner will be able to choose any print they want from my store! There are several links you can click to vote. The 'click here to vote' link will take you to my yahoo group, where you can vote for the picture you like best. I'm sorry if I butchered the breeds, PLEASE email me and fill me in on the correct breeds! Start adding more pics; my next poll will be of beauty, so any pic I find in the yahoo group photo files that is beautiful, will be considered for the next poll!
