Finally!! I know you’ve waited too long for the winners announcement of our first anniversary giveaway. Please accept my sincere apologies for the anticipation. There were just too many entries I needed to verify so it took me longer than I expected, plus it’s been really hectic for us lately. But, here we are!!
I made an announcement a few days ago that the total number of entries were around 2,100+. But, after I tallied AGAIN, there were actually a total of 2,373 raffle entries! 😀
Now, I know you waited too long for this already so let’s not prolong the announcement anymore.
Certified Foodie Photo Winners
Out of the 36 entries we received (there could’ve been more but there were 5 who didn’t complete the mandatory requirements), there were a lot of interesting Certified Foodie Photo entries. We enjoyed reading through the stories behind the photos and their love for food. Surprisingly, Ken and I agreed on our top 3 picks. 🙂
#3: Pick Three by Joselle
Prize: $10.00 Paypal cash
We enjoyed reading through her post about 3 kinds of food she can live off for the rest of her life. But, what we loved most about Joselle’s entry is how her friends made it fun for her to relish familiar flavors and discover new ones. 🙂
#2: Glorious Food by Michelle
Prize: $20.00 Paypal cash
We picked her, not because we have the same first name :D, but because we can totally relate to her foodie story. Whenever we’re out and we decide to dine in a restaurant, we almost always want to go somewhere we haven’t been to yet. We love that she’s adventurous and loves to discover new flavors. 🙂
Her entry is also photo-heavy so be careful when you check it out ’cause you sure will leave her blog with your tummy grumbling. 😀
#1: Family Meals at Its Finest by Czaroma
Prize: $30.00 Paypal cash
And, of course, our #1 pick. When we saw her post the first time, we were both in agreement that it deserves a spot in our top 3. Czaroma showcased how much she enjoys sharing meals with her family. The satisfaction of sharing stories with loved ones over different dishes you all love just makes the whole experience and bonding time more special. Definitely, it’s something our family and hers have in common. 🙂
