Being nominated for three Mouse and Trowel Awards was in itself an overwhelmingly flattering experience, but what came next was beyond extraordinary. When I told you about being nominated sooooo many of you responded with the kindest notes. I have archived all of them and will, on my most de-motivated days re-read them, because they fill me up. Many of you I had never heard from before, and I was astounded by your support in my little moment of glory. I can’t describe how much your words of encouragement mean to me.
Over on facebook where I keep in touch with my family and friends, I made a sort of lame mention that if I were to win, I would provide ‘red carpet’ photos….well in keeping my promise… here is a little red carpet garden inspiration….. because thanks to you I won Best Garden Design Blog, Best Blog Design and came runner up to Our Little Acre for Garden Blog of the Year. Thank you so much for voting for me!
