I'm delighted to let you all know that I won a prize this week which translates to more art-making in the new year. The fabulous DIY and creative design blog Curbly offered to go shopping for anyone's holiday wish list, totaling $200 or less. My proposal was to buy a dozen canvases and some materials and an easel and to paint (and blog) one painting a month in 2007. Thank you to all who voted for me. I will let you know when I have finished the first painting. (The materials have been ordered and I am hitting "refresh" on the tracking websites...)
As for the nomination, woolgathering has been nominated for a Bloggie in the "best-kept secret weblog" category over at the Seventh Annual Weblog Awards website. Nominations are open until 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 10, and the blogs with the most nominations will advance to the next round of voting. Anyone can nominate! Here's the link - support all your favorite blogs, and I hope you will consider a nomination for woolgathering. Thanks.
I love your site. If you have already been nominated though, do I go and nominate you again? Is that how it works?
I think it's true. You are the best kept secret!
Thanks, Krista. That is how it works.
Odd that they call it nomination, since it really is the first round of voting... but that's how they do it. Be sure to nominate your other favorite blogs, too! There are lots of categories.
Elizabeth,
Greetings from a fellow Flocker. I'm sorry to say that this is my first visit to your blog, but I'm very happy that I visited.
Congratulations on your nomination for a Bloggie. This is a very good-looking site--so good, in fact, that I wish I hadn't sent my ballot before coming here. Best of luck.
Thanks, John.
(And I wish I'd been to your blog before I'd submitted my choices, too! - Next year...)
