Winners - First Annual Softies Easter Parade!

Winner Hot Chicks Category - Hopalong and the Chick Round-up by Dog Patch Critters. (5)

Winner Beautiful Bonnets Category - Skippy the Easter Zebra by kad_bugs.

Winner Bit of the Blarney Category - Puss in Boots by lollihops.
Winner Pastels Category - Springtime Bot by Periwinkle Penguins. (18)

Winner Billions of Bunnies Category - Little Bunny Sisters by willynillywaterlily. (19)


Here's the winners as you picked them each receiving the top number of votes in their category. I'm only listing the top entry in each category and not the top three because some categories only had a handful in them and I feel it may be hurtful to do so. I hope you all understand my reasoning on this issue.

Anyway, thank you so much to everyone who participated. This Parade was a lot more work than the my Thanksgiving Day Parade only because it had grown by leaps and bounds! There were so many entries to go through and I had so many favorites myself that it really must have been a tough decision for all of our "spectators." I will be contacting the winners throughout the day and each will get a gift card to Amazon.com to purchase their favorite Softie book. Hopefully, next year if I have more money or some really kickin' sponsors or something, I will be able to do the Top 3 in each category. So please if your entry was not in the top spot this time don't fret. There's always the 2nd Annual Softies Thanksgiving Day Parade and preparations for that will start in September.

Thanks again and congratulations to not just the winners but to all who took the time to enter!

Lisa--you rock! I can't imagine how much work you put into this. Bot asks me to humbly thank everyone who voted for her. It's an amazing honour to win because all the entries were so amazingly good. I think everyone entered a winning softie.

Congratulations to the winners...and thx to you Lisa...what a ton of work for you to go through for this. It was fun to see all the entries and cheer and clap as the parade passed by. The great thing is...no horse or elephant pucky to clean up after they all disappeared!
