FAO Schwarz contest finalists

Well, I know you've all been waiting with baited breath, and just in time for the holidays, a panel of non-Blogging Baby Weblogs Inc. editors have selected our ten finalists in the FAO Schwarz My Favorite Toy contest.

I've been assured that the process was a very difficult one, because there were so many fabulous and creative pictures uploaded to our Flickr pool.

Eight of these finalists will win $ 50.00 gift certificates from FAO Schwarz. Two grand prize winners will be chosen by FAO Schwarz judges, and will be awarded US$250 gift certificates. The FAO Schwarz judges have 5 days to make their decision, and might be influenced by our readers; therefore, it might be a good idea to leave a vote for your favorite picture.

We'll announce the winners on December 20th. Finalists, check your Flickr mail for further details.

And now, behold the cuteness.

I love them all, but I especially fell in love with the little girl with the toad in her stroller! (#5)

I agree with Ginny, that picture is so cute! She looks adorable with that big frog in her stroller.

I always have to be the square peg.

#1 - plain old alphabet blocks.

It was kind of shocking to see my sweet little girls red head on blogging baby this week. How exciting. All of the photos are just lovely. I have a soft spot for my daughter (of course #9) but I have to admit #5 is an amazing shot.

Sonja 12-15-2006 @ 12:23PM

I'm in love with #10. Monsterlove, to be precise.

Oh, I love the little redhead in number 9. I know my daughter has some deep babydoll love, so this one hits home for me. Sweet pics all around though.
