A is for Award. Also AWESOME.

With this post the April 2011 A to Z Blog Challenge comes to a close.  I'll just need to go ahead and admit I am about to so fervently pat the back of my right shoulder with my left hand that if my left arm ends up in sling it won't be because of pushups.

April has been a full month, y'all, so the fact that I found the means to complete the challenge means I am definitely QUEEN OF THE WORLD!  At least of this tiny town.  Ok maybe only inside my house.  To celebrate I have undertaken a thorough Spring Cleaning Project of said house, which means right now I am typing this while wedged between the couch and the bathroom door.  Apparently Spring Cleaning involves moving around a bunch of heavy ass furniture by yourself until you have successfully become trapped by it.  There will be a video tutorial available later, probably sponsored by HGTV.

Anyway, a little while ago I got an email from the lovely Deirdra, author of A Storybook World.  She decided that out of all the grazillion (actually 1,282) blogs participating in the A to Z challenge that Julsbeads was deserving of The Creative Blog Award.  To say I am honored would be an understatement equal to my saying I only kind of like beads a little bit.  If you will also take a moment to visit Deirdra's website and look at her costume design, graphics, and written spiritual beauty then I know you will understand how humbling it is that such an incredible talent would bestow me with such a gift.   Deirdra, you make my heart smile.  Thank you.


love the jewelry!

On an aside, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank y'all once again for reading and taking time to share your thoughts and stories.  I have been rather slack in comment response the last few weeks and for that I apologize, but I have read every comment and more than once they have helped prevent me from burying my head in the sand.  Thanks for that.

    Juls... A is for AWESOME! And you fit that description to a T, but that would mess up the whole orderly A-Z thing... so we'll save it as a P.S. K? :)

    Sorry, just catching up on blogs now... I really enjoyed your entire Z to the A challenge... Much fun was had by all your readers!
