TOOT!

October 15, 2013 33 Comments

I want to toot my little ol’ horn today, but I have to be honest…why does shameless self promotion feel so horribly shameful?  Yeesh.

So Craftsy is hosting a contest this month…it’s The 2013 Craftsy Blogger Awards.  And I woke up this morning to a couple of sweet friends sharing on Facebook that I’d been nominated and am in the final voting round for Best Craftsy Instructor Blog!  OH MY!!!

2013BlogAwards_600x200

I need to share 2 things:

A) THANK YOU to all of you lovelies who nominated me!  Gosh, I’m so humbled and honored to have been included.  Seriously, I don’t think I’m really the “best” anything, but being nominated feels, well, loverly.

and

B) Can we I cut past the guilt, and just admit that, now that I’m in the running, I WANT TO WIN THIS PUPPY!

There, I said it.  Now that wasn’t so bad after all, was it?  Nothing’s imploded and my integrity is still intact. :)  I’ll ask you, completely shamelessly, to please take a sec, if you’re so inclined, and hop on over to Craftsy’s blog to give me your vote!  2 weeks- winners announced Oct 29th.  WE CAN DO THIS PEOPLE!  {wink wink}.

Vote for Me!

And now off to enjoy a fall nature walk, steaming coffee, and the sound of 10,000 cake sprinkles hitting the floor of my pantry.

    Voted you are the best, and made me laugh out loud “the sound of 10,000 cake sprinkles hitting the floor of my pantry”. I don’t even need little ones for that to happen.

    You were my choice also, Amy!! Hands down.
    My daughter says this to me all the time, and no it’s not shameless – you deserve it. She has a provost over her that doesn’t like writing letters for raises, awards, etc and so tells her to; He is the director over her & has NO idea of what she really does or her responsibilities…….. however they just had a photo shoot yesterday and she (for every 16 yrs she’s been there) has been in the million dollar club (bringing in over a million dollars in revenue for UCF).
    So Amy toot away, girlfriend!! Wish I could vote again!

    Congrats – there’s no shame in letting everyone know how awesome you are. I, too, was honored as a finalist in the Best Quilting Tutorials category. I feel like such small potatoes but it was like a virtual hug!

    I am glad that you mentioned that you were in the running for an award at Craftsy. I do not go over to the Craftsy blog very often so I had no idea. This is wonderful that you are in the competition.

    I went straight over to the Craftsy blog and voted for you.
