What a nice way to finish off the weekend! Just when I was bemoaning the return of Monday and work, I get this happy little surprise to make the end of the weekend a little more bearable.
Jennifer of the lovely Bake or Break was the host of the October edition of DMBLGIT, and she just announced the winners…with my photo of my Fig and Huckleberry Tart taking first place!
I have to admit that when I submitted my photo I was pretty iffy about my chances…the entries just get better and better every month and there were some really beautiful and creative photos in the pool. So it’s an amazing honor to have been recognized out of so many worthy entries. Honestly, many of you out there should be working as professional photographers if you are not doing so already!! I’m very proud to be able to display the DMBLGIT badge for this month!
Be sure to check out the other winning entries on Jennifer’s site. Meanwhile, I just finished photographing a new, very interesting cake I tried over the weekend…the post will be up in a couple of days!
