We hope you read yesterday's post for a few geographic hints about our nine Most Influential Scrapbookers! Now it's time for a few more helpful facts...

Today's Hints
One nominee has no children and one nominee has 5 children.
The nine nominees have 25 children among them (6 of whom are all grown up).
Five of the nominees have brown or black hair.
Two nominees are blond.
Two nominees have beautiful reddish hair (whether it's natural or colored, we can't say).

Go ahead and guess! The FIRST THREE comments today that contain at least one correct guess (and NO incorrect guesses) will each be awarded a $10 gift certificate to ellapublishing.com. Yes, you can guess people who were guessed yesterday. It's the first three guesses each day that win. (Note: we won't be announcing this week's blog winenrs until after Thursday, when the full list of Most Influential Scrapbookers has been posted.)

One more bonus hint: We set up this award not to recognize "lifetime achievement," but to reward very recent effort and achievement (e.g. from 2009 and 2010), out-of-the-box thinking and innovation, partnering and pioneering into new frontiers, and reaching out to support and lift others within the industry. Our hope, in part, is to introduce you to (or remind you of) people who are influential in their own spheres, making a daily difference to their audiences and to their industry peers. We want to help our nine nominees widen their influence even further, because we think they’re doing great things.


p.s. Make sure you mark your calendar for our Most Influential Scrapbookers Blog Tour, coming up July 19 through 23, 2010. There will be 100 total prizes given away from Ella and the nine nominees!
