Whew! Although the results are finally in, it was a real battle tabulating, calculating and figuring who came out on top... and that was just for each individual judge!! Then we had to take ALL of our votes and combine them for the official results. Now, without further delay, the winners:

Grand Prize Winner - Best of Contest

Kelsie - Knock Before You enter (category Beautiful Boudiors)
Kelsie featured her doll prominently, created a detailed room setting to fit the theme and added her own creative twist and a bit of humor to take top honors. Congratulations, Kelsie, you'll receive our great grand-prize package!

Kelsie also received several first-place votes for her English Tradition entry in the International Style category:

Now, for our winners in each category. First place winners each receive a 35th Anniversary Barbie.

First Place: Kerstin - In the Dressing Room of a Hollywood Diva
