Thanks Shell and to everyone who wishes us success!  I feel that the staging industry is well represented with the three of us and I am grateful for the opportunity RESA has provided. 

Hopefully, through this lengthy process, many more stagers have been inspired to enter their work when the contest begins again next year.  It is definitely worthwhile and there have been plenty of extra hours we each have given toward the contest.  All of us are responsible for building the Home Staging profession at this time and I truly believe it is also important to participate when the chance to shine is made available! 

I would encourage everyone to consider entering their work in contests such as Stager Idol so that the public can learn more about standards in staging and the fantastic difference a great stager can make with a property in today's real estate market! 

Best of luck to my lady and fellow finalists!
