Thank you for your patience in awaiting our announcement of the winner; we had a hard time confirming some of the contestants' information. It was so hard to pick the finalists in the Pickle Party Album Contest, and even harder to narrow it down to just one winner! It took 16 Chefs, the RP warehouse crew, Tasha and Lance to vote on the albums during our recent Chef Retreat.
We would like to express our thanks to all of the finalists for sharing your lives with us - your albums were even more amazing in person! Your heartfelt stories just glowed from the pages of your books. It was tough, but we were finally able to decide on a winner!
Rusty Pickle would like to officially announce the Pickle Party winning album:
1st place - The Greatest Gift - Heidi Erickson
Heidi's album told a story of a girl who always wanted a dad and in her search, happened to find even more. We were all very touched by Heidi's story and her beautiful artwork. Heidi wins a dinner, class and crop with Lance!

But wait, there's more! We couldn't choose just one winner, so we decided on TWO RUNNERS UP:
The Tooth Fairy - Ginger Ditton
Andrew's First Year - Barbara Spade
Ginger and Barbara each win $250 Rusty Pickle product (retail value)!
Congratulations, ladies!
